Wasn't Pintsize asking for an invitation as "Worst Man"?

Clifton Royston

2024-10-16 07:13:51 +0000 UTC

It generally means they feel called out and 100% agree with it. The other iteration that I know is "I represent that remark".

David Paul

Damn. I'm so old that when I was in college we only had molecules, and sometimes just cules.

Josh Moberly

2024-10-15 22:39:20 +0000 UTC

I'm starting to feel like this is like How I Met Your Mother, where an entire season takes place during three days at a wedding. :laughing:

Carl Cravens

2024-10-15 22:25:20 +0000 UTC

I bet they have (it would be strange if they hadn't by now given how serious Marten and Claire are and how long they've been together). But we are overdue for them to meet in-comic :D

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 22:22:26 +0000 UTC

Apparently, the fact Marten is about to leave town for good after years of working for Tai is completely secondary to her parents to the fact he used to fuck their new daughter-in-law…

Comics Ladybird

2024-10-15 22:21:09 +0000 UTC

Re-reading the comics it's amazing just how long Tai carried that torch for Dora. Since pretty much the beginning, actually. It's great that it was returned and even better that they've stayed the course :D

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 22:20:37 +0000 UTC

I mean Emily was one of the library interns, we've seen her more recently than that. We haven't seen Gaby since then because Gaby apparently quit the internship

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 22:18:52 +0000 UTC

Sliiightly prompted xD But only slightly

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 22:18:07 +0000 UTC

She's Tai's mum so let's make that 70:30 for "yes" xD

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 22:17:41 +0000 UTC

We don't know whether Irena is into that and currently I would rate that at 50/50 :)

Stephen Wells

2024-10-15 21:50:04 +0000 UTC

Just so long as Anh doesn't overhear this and start looking at Zoltan.

Philip Masters

2024-10-15 18:11:06 +0000 UTC

Not only that but the specific circumstances with Marten greatly exacerbated her anxieties because of the whole thing with Faye and wondering if he still had feelings for her. Meanwhile Tai is literally the exact opposite, someone who's done with casual polyamory and wants to settle down with a partner and initiated things due to having a huge and long established crush and attraction to Dora specifically.

Quinn

Zoltan is a legit Hungarian name, derived from "Sultan".

Hugh Eckert

2024-10-15 16:56:16 +0000 UTC

If anyone was going to have a dad named Zoltan, it was going to be Tai. Or one of the library interns we haven't seen since, what, 2016? sigh Okay, maybe Steve.

Ray S, 2nd nickname

Oh Emily. Wonder where she is in this shindig?

Good word, tantamount. Almost as good as shenanigans.

I'm sure it would not be awkward as Veronica will have him well in hand.

Ahoy Captain Bubbles!!

Marshall

2024-10-15 10:55:49 +0000 UTC

I think a lot of Dora’s anxieties has mellowed out over the passage of time in this comic. Maybe they’re not gone, but she has gotten better at dealing with her emotions compared to when she and Marten was dating.

legobil

2024-10-15 10:23:45 +0000 UTC

Can’t wait for that meeting now. Veronica and Zoltan I mean. And. Or as a ship, mind you! I just wanna to see/hear their conversation.

legobil

2024-10-15 10:21:42 +0000 UTC

Yes. They've seen more to not filter.

Matthew Harris

You know what, I do buy that it did xD

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 09:12:03 +0000 UTC

Is that somehow worse than young people without a filter?

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 09:11:36 +0000 UTC

Wasn't Zoltan Kaparthy a character in My Fair Lady? (Fictional, of course, but the name came from somewhere)

enchantedsleeper

2024-10-15 09:10:27 +0000 UTC

way to sidestep the question Marten... i'm sure it's fine 😅

Boots McGoot

I’m looking forward to the comic awkwardness of Dora’s dad finally meeting Marten’s mom. We haven’t seen either of them yet, and I’m wondering about the implications. (Like, did he say something inappropriate and someone’s going to discover him tied up in the guest bedroom?) https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1044

Detecting cloaked emus?

Bagge

I think it'd be funnier to introduce him to Claire's mom and light the fuse...

Alex Rahr

2024-10-15 05:16:53 +0000 UTC

On Pintsize watch, perhaps?

Joseph Bonnar

2024-10-15 05:07:22 +0000 UTC

Seems Marten and Tai have more in common than I thought. Dang.

Doug DeJulio

2024-10-15 02:18:58 +0000 UTC

Zoltan looks like his career involved being a fortune teller at a traveling circus and he got out before the Shriners stopped being a viable social mystical fraternity and thus, no more circuses.
