@Todd Ellner The QC-verse doesn't have generative AI because they have the real sort.

2024-09-08 09:07:52 +0000 UTCIn a way, I think even being friends (with benefits) would be a step up for Sven. As opposed to, you know, one-night stand or hatefuck booty call.
enchantedsleeper
2024-09-08 09:06:17 +0000 UTCI don't think that May is interested in a deeper than FWB relationship (which it seems sven wants). That being said, they seemed to get along great and she was really good at puncturing his ego

2024-08-21 18:17:39 +0000 UTClooks like a long word followed by 2 short words, my guess is "prehistoric bird beer"
Jennifer Pylko
2024-08-21 18:16:05 +0000 UTCBut what about Yay and Moray? Wrap it up, Sven!

Carsten Schultz
2024-08-21 10:23:30 +0000 UTCSee, Marten. That's why YOU should sell the beverage. Ice coffee and chill talks. You'll be rich!
Bagge
2024-08-21 10:07:30 +0000 UTCActually it was her breakup with Angus that started Faye on the downward spiral that ended in hospitalization. In fact she got over the breakup with Sven fairly quickly, certainly more quickly than he did. He was pretty much pining over her right up until he met May (like, literally the panel before). https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4003
BookBeard
2024-08-21 09:33:59 +0000 UTCHas Sven ever really gotten over what he did to Faye? He seems to have been miserable and mopey ever since then. It also seems to have been what started Faye's slide down into her serious alcoholic episode.

BookBeard
2024-08-21 05:09:34 +0000 UTCYou'd want the dinosaurs to be diabetic for there to be any significant level of sugar in it to ferment!
Mark
2024-08-21 04:48:58 +0000 UTCWell yeah, it's an American beer.

2024-08-21 02:58:24 +0000 UTCMy Dad used to own a liquor store, yes, beer is definitely a form of payment. And whisky, and wine. It was rarely the good stuff either, I guess that says something about the kind of people that will fix your AC for Milwaukee's Best, your books for Jim Beam, or clean your carpets for Franzia.

Not that Patrick Foltz
2024-08-21 02:51:15 +0000 UTCNah, 90% of being a therapist is telling a person everyone else in their life is telling them already, only charging them for it so that the pain of paying to hear it from a professional motivates you to fix yourself.

2024-08-21 02:30:15 +0000 UTCthey can technically study Marten even if he's just a complete rando with no abilities it'd just be WEIRD and a particularly convoluted hypothesis

2024-08-21 02:25:43 +0000 UTCHard to say. She hasn't mentioned it since shortly after her near death experience, but that doesn't mean she hasn't still been going in the background. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2895

darklion
2024-08-21 02:17:11 +0000 UTCI remember my late husband telling me he paid the football team beer to move flats for his college's theatre. (It was a residential college theatre rather than the University one, and they used the dining hall for shows.)

Hexagonal Crank
2024-08-21 02:04:25 +0000 UTCIn #144 Dora is 26. Sven is two years older. Aside from that, someone else (dedicated and meticulous) made this online spreadsheet which is useful but doesn't make any promises it can't prove: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wqTgvVxV0GE1EoKnR0pxVChHUo4ZYtal/edit#gid=2000794116
ValdVin
2024-08-21 01:55:49 +0000 UTCHe was 28 way back in #1782, but that was probably at least a year or two ago in-universe. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1782
BookBeard
2024-08-21 01:52:02 +0000 UTCIs this a CoD trade secret, along with spidercoffee? I mean, Dora's probably gonna let Marten use them gratis, but still I don't want Tom Horbon's getting their hands on it.
ValdVin
2024-08-21 01:43:35 +0000 UTCI can see it now. Therapist office above the coffee shop, drawing in unsuspecting clients with his chill-dude barista vibes. Then it's all "the first one is free" and he hands over the business card: "Marten Reed, Stealth Therapist"
BookBeard
2024-08-21 01:40:57 +0000 UTCI used to be a therapist. I'm not kidding.
Yelling Bird
2024-08-21 01:39:42 +0000 UTCIt just feels like Sven is too old for this. But I don't even know how old anyone is anymore.
darklion
2024-08-21 01:37:03 +0000 UTCSo good you'll wish your arms were long enough to drink it!
BookBeard
2024-08-21 01:35:14 +0000 UTCMarten is definitely going to have to implement CoD's "barista heart-to-heart" policy. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4681

Azrux
2024-08-21 01:25:46 +0000 UTCThis further reaffirms my belief that Marten should, in fact, become a therapist. It is the single best application of his ability to attract misfits and outcasts and make them feel accepted, and it makes use of his biggest superpower, which is being chill and nonjudgemental to a fault. (But as someone who is studying to become a therapist myself, I am biased lol)
