Thought EMTs

Same.

Ruth Merriam

I want him to draw this for a comic in the upcoming story arc of "the shower".

Carrie

Maaaaybe it would be a good idea to give Liz a more defined job role first... Then she'll know what she's having the ideas *for*, rather than going straight back to bashing her head against a metaphorical wall x3

Is Liz also related to Ego the living planet, just like Peter Quill ?

Marten is a good dad

Bagge

My own treacherous brain uses the shower as an excuse to dredge up painful memories or imagine uncomfortable conversations.

Diptych

If total ego death isn't on the cards, can Liz have a little ego death, as a treat?

Stephen Wells

Forty-five minutes later, inside the bathroom: Claire, Moray and Evan are giving Liz a head-to-toe spa pampering experience. Even if Jeph doesn't draw it, I can already SEE it :)

Stephen Wells

Like, kid, it's OK! You will be way, way more productive and useful and above all HAPPY if you just have fun in the space with a few other people who also like cosmology... like, help edit a book for someone. Work an educational campaign. Swap ideas with others for a bit. And maybe something will click once you've spent a few years in the field getting real experience. But if not, who cares?

Skeeter Zymbal

I just want to tell her that ideas don't come out of nowhere, and more importantly, nobody should expect or desire someone who can't even rent a car to make significant contributions to a field that is the product of the smartest people of the past two centuries.

Turns out Evan needed to charge and the QI charger is actually in the shower stall.

Jax

I see it now, she is nude in the shower, face contorted in rage as she grumbles "its not helping" then, she has an idea, and as she starts to write it down, her arms pop off

Jere

Pity Claire is only brushing teeth in there

Robert Heinig

Shit I did forget to buy shampoo again. Dammit

I do a lot of thinking in the shower. I mean, mostly I'm thinking "fuck, I forgot to buy shampoo again", but it still counts.

BookBeard

I would suspect over 90% of the best ideas in the world occurred in the shower.

Dallas Hicks

Y'put on some chill synthwave, you get on in there, you eat an orange, and you immediately start visualizing all your walls as fluorescent ocean murals

Green

Liz in panel 3 just might be my new favorite cartoon face. She’s so adorable right there!

Brian Bailie

Will work fine in a ziplock bag. 😃

Holly Nelson

Friday cliffhanger

Doc Gumby

Still rude and self-absorbed, at least she's on brand lol

ellafine

That's the kindest way he could have said that. Emotional intelligence champion Marten Reed

Boots McGoot

I can think of worse experiences to have in the shower.

Chris Crowther

She's gonna be so pissed if the shower actually helps

Salodni Ikkis

It's not about the shower. She needs to read Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Ian MacLean

Douglas Adams famously had many of his best ideas in the bath. He would regularly lock himself in for an hour or more, much to the despair of his flatmate, who really needed to pee.

Alex Borders

Well, leave the top down if you have a convertible. Two birds/one stone.

Michael Boettger

Just don’t shower while driving.

Steve H

No doubt that's why she needs a shower so bad :V

Fart Captor

Maybe Liz got into cutting, and followed up with poor hygiene. Self-destructive.

Wayne Farmer

Well, Liz is a little stinker.

Wayne Farmer

I tried writing in the shower. Once. My tablet wasn't waterproof...

BobC

Gotta figure that was a design feature

PixelThis

I hope her arms don't short out.

Sleepy John

thanks

Marty BlackEagle

I love it when Jeph trolls us all. :)

Joseph Bonnar

...it is

It's already been established that people sometimes get amputations just so they can get the high-tech prosthetics that exist in this universe, so unless otherwise stated, that seems the most natural assumption.

Gabriel Burns

i don't think they do much driving in Cubetown.

LH

Def not a risk I would take. Marten would LOOOOOM!

Holly Nelson

Take your time Claire, and leave the door open!

Michael Keogh

will we discover what happen to her original arms?

Marty BlackEagle

best ideas come when showering or driving!

jimbo

I call it the Genius Machine. http://nedroid.com/comic/driven-to-greatness/

William Cole

My best ideas come from walking the dog.

That Blair Guy

Get clean Liz. Can't wait to see how this goes, see you all on Saturday. Side note, love her face in the 3rd panel...that there is gremlin contemplation.

Ben French

Rock meet Hard place By 'hard' I mean 'red-headed librarian of potential ego-death'

MikeT

Ego death can be super helpful tho ngl

DaddyUmbreon

Wait, is Claire out to her new daughter?

Carin Maja Brooks

Someone needs to stop this poor girl
