Mattress Discounters

Have a good night's sleep on uuuus.

Longwing

Man,.....

Darnel D Cooper

Yet another ultimate Claire face in panel 3.

Ruth Merriam

Adoption is not necessarily about guardianship

Am Queue

She's also not a minor and so wouldn't need legal guardians even if she didn't have any.

Diptych

YEP IT SURE IS

Vanessa says We Have Nothing To Lose But Our Chains, Unless You’re Into That

this it? https://youtu.be/oyzcsKX4BMY

Joe Vandevander

Moray printed out the paperwork!

Am Queue

Pretty sure the fact that Liz still has an acceptable relationship with her parents (If still some unresolved feelings) means that she is not going to do more than razz M&C about adoption. But still, as it is Cubetown, there is always the possibility it will go through anyway.

Half the time I try to remember Mattresses Discounters I get the Cabinet Discounters jingle instead

Milayna

How do you know these aren't adoption papers?

Jim Toth

They're not really adopting Liz.

Diptych

Wait. I thought this was the adoption papers, not the accept-the-job papers

Am Queue

Yes, Faye filled his head with the birdseed after he said he put something in the Milk. Anthony Jones was the pigeon

Zak Reichle

Have a good night sleep on us!!!🎶

VGreenGoblinV

You’re right, I DO.

Valerie Kaplan

Wait, didn't his head get stuffed with birdseed at some point? And I think a pigeon or two? Did Faye do that?

Nicolas Demers

Look on the bright side, Claire- it's only the biggest decision of your life SO FAR.

Dean Reilly

She keeps having the biggest decision of her life. Really, girl, your decision to not stuff Pintsize's head with birdseed was at least as momentous ;)

Sleepy John

Jeph you're evil. I ignored the Mattress Discounters ref until you said that. & I didn't even grow up there. I was in my 40s when I arrived. did stay there over 20 years though.

Joe

I want a Moray bed.

Steve H

Omg that earworm.

Liz Patt

:3

Ideally, Claire and Marten could become poly with Faye and Bubbles, but long distance relationships are very hard.

Andrea Andrew

*sigh*. I've been poly for a long-ass time and the constant poly-shipping does get just a smidge wearing sometimes. Would I love to see a poly group in QC? Massively! Do I think that a couple that met someone literally yesterday and where one of them will be that person's immediate boss will invite them to join their relationship? No so much. What would be ideal would be the kind of loooong slow build up to a group relationship the way Jeph very realistically took his time to get Elliot and Clinton together.

David Durant

Marten and Claire both have the same "Claire sleeps with Moray" fantasy, I think this could become real very naturally :)

Stephen Wells

So Marten and Claire are into Moray?! Poly ship confirmed.

Andrea Andrew

To make it even for New England folks, 🎶 Bernie and Phyll-ll's, quality, comfort and price (that's nice) 🎶

🎶 Have a good night's sleep on us! 🎶

Auros Harman

Aww, the t-shirt! The TEH era hasn't truly ended

Boots McGoot

I love Claire in the third panel. D'awwwww!

Seth Swanson

🤘😃🤘

Carrie

Aaargh... The music... The music!

J. Keith Wykowski

JEPH NO Also, I love the expressions in panels 3 and 4

Hugh Eckert

Jesus christ I will never be able to unsee that

Dubsicle

Marten, get a cpap

Ami

Oh gosh if that jingle is anything like the Kars-4-Kids jingle in the NY area then that's psychological cruelty.

Dev

Panel 3 is so wholesome I want to squee in delight! Love these two so much. :-)

Robert Ragona

I grew up in Pennsylvania; Sadly the Jingle made it up north as well.

WingedIkaros

Hey all those years of college in Virginia taught me something after all!

Aaron

Also, looking at panel 4: I would say Get A Room, You Two, except they are already in their room :)

Stephen Wells

She has yet to comment on the font of the contract. I feel like this is crucial information.

MikeT

You are thinking of Sqornshellous Zeta, and now that you mention Hitchikers, Marvin would fit right in in Cubetown. I mean, *he* wouldn't like it there obviously, but a genius AI with serious mental health issues would not be out of place...

BookBeard

What was that Douglas Adams thing about the Planet of Mattresses?

Captain Button

I read "pointy eyebrows" and wondered for a moment if that was such a turnoff.

Salodni Ikkis

the idea of startling new technologies for librarians is a whole new thread... Self organizing shelves, voice controlled filing cabinets, self aware/intelligent printers (and a lonely fax machine in the corner that nobody uses), transforming research desks...

Jeff Gedney

I’d be irritated at the earworm, but… “Nobody bothers me!” :)

Summer Sudbrink

Eastern MA, and it’s stuck in my head too. At least it’s not the Giant Glass jingle. …DAMMIT!!

"A sentient waterbed with boundary issues…" sounds like a cute quip right up until I tried imagining sleeping in such a context. Then the feeling of claustrophobia kicked in.

Holly Nelson

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same" Yeah, I said that whole thing 5 times. (I would add the word "lawful" to make the next part, "obey the LAWFUL orders".) I wonder if Cubetown has an Librarian oath of office and swearing in ceremony. You would need cake...

allanfranta

When you hop into bed, and it cuddles you so, that’s a moray… (or two)

Andrew

In Portland and San Francisco, the “you’ll be soorrryyy” tagline for “Video Only” is awful.

Miyaa

I've changed the vector of my life by signing things before, it does feel kinda heavy. The biggest one was probably signing the paperwork to join up with the US Navy. That one worked out really well for me, I learned a ton about cool technologies- maybe the same for Claire.

Shane Wegner

Platonic threesome! :D Alternatively: Liz and Evvie can enjoy the benefits of a Moray Unit in bed ;) (Where is Evvie, btw, after their hard night out?)
