Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Welcome to the latest installment of discussion threads for Questionable Content, a M-F "slice of life" comic in which life is defined by coffee, robots, Butts Disease, and spontaneous metal interludes.

I really want Marten and Emily's mothers to meet somehow. Maybe they're both stalking their children on the date? Maybe Emily's mom is single and they hit it off?

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Carried over from last thread:
No. You're conflating two entirely separate events. The party happened, then at a later date they hung out at Marten and Faye's apartment, which is when the walking home happened.
I just checked via the QC wiki. Dora's date with Jim happened in the 1900s strip range, Dora and Tai got together in the 2200s. A lot happened in between, such as Padma, and Hannelore's dad's birthday party.Last edited by Thufir; 2014-11-14 at 09:34 AM.

I'm of an age that I can't remember that Carly Simon song without thinking of ketchup. :(
And Claire's eyes are HUGE when she's thinking of messing up her brother.

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
I got a bad feeling about this. I think her brother is going to say the wrong thing by mistake and hurt her feelings or something.

EDIT:
(carried over from last thread)
So, basically, instead of Marten, she now has a girl whose only relationship experience is a bunch of one-night stands with very lax moral and faithfulness (is that even a word?) standard.Last edited by Mith; 2014-11-14 at 11:06 AM.

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Hmm.. Yes, you are right.. it seems that I have got a bit mixed up in the timeline.
oh, well.. Maybe it felt just too soon for me.. I honestly do not know. But, on the other hand, the whole timeline of events in QC is a bit accelerated so it is easy to get carried away.
yeah, I figured there was another word for it, just couldn't remember the word at that time since English is not my first language.. :D

You say you have a problem with the letter U? You don't like the flavour it puts in the written word, eh?

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Just to clarify, I was more referring to you saying "Brits" who use the U "unnecessarily", when as a Canadian, I also have to deal with the Red Squiggly of Doom when I write my posts. We have been completely independent from Britain for over 30 years now!

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
I wonder from Marigold's wording if she changed her mind about asking Dale to move in with her, or if she was thinking that if Dale does move in, she is still going to have a spare bedroom.

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
This could be quite interesting. I don't think we've ever seen what an Anthro-PC would regard as 'homey' or comfortable. I wonder what Momo will do...

I wonder if we're even going to see Angus again. I rather liked him.
R.I.P. Wrecan, he was a true organizer and a gentleman.

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Nah, the "Y" makes sense. After all, the word "you" obviously has two different sounds in it: "eeee-ooo".
But then, English spelling makes no sense whatsoever and probably never has. Just adopt phonetic spellign already, all the cool languages are doing it!
(Really, it's only English and to a lesser extent French, from those I know.)Last edited by Eldan; 2014-11-17 at 04:59 AM.

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Eh, I don't think it will be different from human's... the anthro PCs seem mostly human... some... weird human, but human nonetheless. If we'd get anything really fancy I wouldn't be disappointed but surprised.
so... Marigold has been taking money from Momo for the "present" for the past few months and now says it's okay? Seems at least a little weird to me.
As a German, I agreeThen again, I can only speak of the small subest of languages I know about as well... though this is more or less the reason I much more consider learning Japanese opposed to Chinese.
It's interesting how this thread goes off on tangents sometimes, spending far more information on that than on the actual comic.

Re: Questionable Content 8: OMG I SHIP IT
Not to mention that "ough" is the most phonetically ambiguous set of letters in the English language:
/ʌf/ tough
/ɒf~ɔːf/ cough
/aʊ/ drought
/oʊ/ though
/ɔː/ thought
/uː/ through
/ə/ thorough (British pronunciation)
/ʌp/ hiccough (aka "hiccup")
/ɒk/ hough (aka "hock")
/ɒx/ lough (aka "loch")Last edited by Psychonaut; 2014-11-17 at 09:53 AM.
