Gnar Plrgh

“Don’t you goblin at me” may be the best retort I’ve ever read/seen. Thankyou for this gift💚

Jeph has drawn my favorite panel ever! Panel 5 is the shit! Yes!

Timm Gleason

I love the goblin eyes in frame 5.

OldGoat

Nah that’s next week’s comics. Or the week after? I’m so far ahead it’s confusing

"Gnar Plrgh" sums up the situation pretty well. C'mon, folks, we've all felt that way and have probably expressed it worse. I can think of many times when I wish I'd, um, goblined (goblinned?) instead of saying what I said then.

Ursus Ridens

this is very good

I feel like May's taking the short path. First day will be the hardest, the second day will be rough, easy peasy from there on.

Some Ed

Damn, May is amazing...can I hire her???

David Perez

May rules.

Chris Warren

I'd say, only people who both want and need for someone to boss them around. Me? I'd have fired her before she could put down the pan after the second alarm. But I wouldn't have hired her to be my alarm clock, and I wouldn't have hired her with the carte blanche that Marigold did, in large part because I'm not Marigold and do not need help with the things Marigold needs help with. Sure, I got problems, but they're different. That's the thing about different people.

Some Ed

I doubt that she will fail this one. She is fully engaged, and aside from the fighter jet incident she has rarely been challenged previously. Although, she was charged for the fighter jet incident.

dcy665 .

I have decided that "Don't you goblin at me" goes into my big bag o insults (TM). Right next to: Son, you're sadder than a T-rex trying to get a selfie without using a selfie stick.

Joseph Bonnar

Damn! You gotta give May MAD respect for taking her "job" seriously, and doing it WELL! Here's to hoping that she keeps it up.

Her new body is pretty amazonian.

Adam Abbott

Will be looking WAY too hard for an opportunity to tell someone, "don't you goblin at me" now. Thanks for adding a side quest to my life

Christine Hottinger

Sassy goblin is a thing now.

Summer Sudbrink

Goblins taking care of each other. 10/10 best content

lazymagpie

She stole a fighter jet. That left her pretty exposed, and guaranteed that she would be a high priority target.

David S

"Don't you goblin at me!" New phrase when dealing with annoyed animals.

Joseph Loder

Love that she gets the evil Yay eyes when she goblins

Adorbium

AND included with Marigold goblin art, we also need May hobgoblin art!

Joseph Bonnar

No, it's "Mmrnmhrm".

Leak

Depends on if it's Cryptographically Secure random keyboard mashing or not...

Leak

Can we get a Marigold goblin art?

Da Nargh!!

Not goblin. Clearly Murloc. Aaaaaughibbrgubugbugrguburgle

Do I detect a bit of author-insert?

Cass

this just proves that May is scarily efficient when she needs to be. so how the fuck did she get caught?

Absentia

I hope that whatever wake up hour this is, it actually represents a decent amounts sleep in Marigold’s schedule. Sufficient sleep is needed. (all we know is that May has been up since 6am, probably catching Aurelia before she went to bed, but hopefully it’s much much later than that.)

Simran Khalsa

May is alpha goblin

Bagge

At this rate she can just BUY a fast jet aircraft she wanted to steal. Play the game, get what you want.

Shane Wegner

May is really coming into her own. She can be pushy ("I've set aside a limited amount of time for you to disagree with this") and judgmental ("you stink") in a helpful way. Problem is, how much success does Marigold really want?

Peter Lewerin

Marigold is doing the goblin-ing wrong. They have shark teeth. ;)

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Hey girl heeeeey. But no really hygiene is important.

Most profitable streamers (that I know of) stream themselves playing games. People follow along. We know that Marigold and Aurelia are game streamers, don't we?

Carl Fink

As a Cthulhu minion, I agree.

Drazi

I dunno. I kinda see May as wanting to do this sort of job for Marigold - not for the job itself. Also, the challenge of pushing Marigold into adulting is exciting! Being a PA for the HannerMom would be very different - a lot more personal care, and a lot less business organizing. Someone like Tilly (wasn't that their name?) might attach themselves to her for the education, but I can't see May as that invested in that sort of personal growth. I'm rambling a lot here. Does any of this make sense?

Alex Borders

Mrglmrglmrglmrgl!

Alacrity Fitzhugh

She has found her purpose in life!!

Andrew Mitchell

Do NOT let her meet HannerMom!

BobC

What did Jeph type in Goblinese?

Miyaa

Holly hell I love this page so much. I laughed way to much at "don't you gobln at me!"

Richard Fletcher

shes so good at her new job. i love it.

Ashley Thomas

… Welp, I gotta go take a shower now. Don’t want to attract a stinky pervert.

Miyaa

They're popular vtubers. That's like asking what Markiplier does.

Thomas Halpin

I’m realizing that I don’t really understand exactly what Marigold and Aurelia do. They have avatars on the internet that…talk to other avatars? Play video games? What is it that people are paying money to watch them do? I know, I am a naive newborn babe when it comes to the internets…

Chelsea

Dang. May could take over the world if it weren't for that poor impulse control/convicted felon thing.

Scott Hilton

I see the word murloc and I hear it in my brain.

Steamin' cup o' nut-wet, now with double the orcus chunks!

Given how many times we see her awake after midnight, I'm going to guess she's a night person

Grace Kieser

First few weeks will be hardest. Once initial protocols are set in place and a routine is started it will al” be much easier.

Thisguy

Sounds more like she's murloc'ing than goblin'ing to me, by that may be my WoW bias showing.

Ian Wolfe

Agreed!!!! How did she go from Aerodynamically Curvaceous to GLRMing Goblin so quickly?

Loving May like this

tamtheotter

It is just me or does May look extra buff? This is not a complaint. :3c

Sammitch

So... Aurelia did not get much sleep last night, I take it.

Rob Vary

When you figure it out, let me know.

Everett Bradshaw

Isn't random keyboard mashing AI swearing?

Taylor Kendall

Isn't random kw

Taylor Kendall

I have to warn you, that looks like goblin, but sounds like Cthulhu — May may need Yay.

Aussie Jim

"Blaart!" (although that may be the wrong type of goblin)

Sean Kinlin

Where can I hire a tall booby robot asshole to boss me around into getting my shit together?

Fart Captor

lmao

Fart Captor

Goblin deez nuts!

gatherer818

Bonestly sounds pretty pro professional

Kyle Major

Man I must hire a May

David Martelli

I had forgotten that May took on the task of being Marigold's business manager. And I'm looking forward to seeing May get Marbear into adult life.

Michael Boettger

SHE CAN GO GOBLIN ON ME ANYTIME!

Yelling Bird

Wow she does so well in this job, may is awesome

Dave, Duke of Fridges

“Hatin yourguts shutup” - “this is what you hired me for” - “I KNOW”

Ísabel Pirsic

Right? I need her, too.

Lenore J Jones

mrfl rfglsm gluhrm GLRM

Tamara Macadam

That happens to me the moment I wake up too!

Yes it did. That's when May got her the coffee too.

DVW

So did the shower happen between panels 1&2 or did her cami morph into a towel?

Brenda Allen

Marigold coffee goblin tee shirt?

Mitch Megaw

Ah. You need to use Garghlllh Translate, specifically.

Ísabel Pirsic

Though I guess most don't have someone like May to deal with the administrative work, and burn out on that aspect of the job.

Peter Jensen

I'm sorry. My Google search of all these words comes up with nothing.

Mary-maids! Milk-Gold!

Richard

We need to accidentally create QC-type AI, seriously.

R L

The only thing worse than being a successful adult is being an unsuccessful adult, and the only thing worse than that is being a kid.

Kyle Rudy

That goblin pose in the last panel is *glorious*!

Ben M

Marigold finding herself a victim of the consequences of her own actions

Llian

... I have lost count of the number of program managers I've interviewed in the past few months, and I want to hire May on the basis of one comic strip.

Yonatan Zunger

DON’T YOU GOBLIN AT ME.

William Karr

Marigold and the Milkmaids!

Matt Grayson

Also: May needs is a sharp uniform and a whip. If it doesn't appear in comic, I'll just pay another artist to draw some fan art.

Elberik

Damn. A gremlin calling out a goblin. Never thought I'd see that!

Joel Bateman

The moment when your fun side hustle/hobby suddenly becomes WORK 😰 -many online "content creators" start to break down at this point.

Elberik

That never occurred to me but you're right

A little bit of an accent, but her Goblin is fairly good.

Anthony Gaglianese

Flmhgyulb!!

Shawn K. Younkin

Super relatable

Tali

Don’t you goblin at me! 😂

Lee B.

Wow, early!

Nulgar

So indirectly she's finally doing that AI assistant work around Dale... Just not in a pair of smart glasses now

Ting

May is so good at this! Is bossing people around her true calling?

Jono Hayward

Adorable lol

Erik Jasper

Can *I* hire May?
