Just Can't Quit You

Wow. Emily is already shipping them... I mean... just look at her ;->

Photon

We need Martin, Claire, May, and Bubbles in a group. With Pintsize as DM (for, like, a session. Then Hanners takes over)

Valraven

Only 2?

Valraven

Petition for Dan to get Renee, Brun, Elliot & Clinton into Dungeons and Dragons please

Robin Wyatt

Oh man I can’t stress how much I want to see an arc which is just various members of the QC cast playing D&D

Robin Wyatt

I wonder this about myself every fucking day

Kitza

I have 2 storage boxes of MTG cards and I have zero regrets.

Julie Scott

I just wish my local coffee shop had a "WTF" size. I'd be getting that all the damned time. Or maybe just an IV caffeine drip.

Yonatan Zunger

Huh. Didn't think Regrettapalooza was coming so soon... Or is this cuffing season in the strip, too?

David Pipes

All these newfangled card games. Have 'em dress up in crappy leather and furs and throw dice like a REAL old time romance! XD

"You know, I had a crush on you back in the-" / "COOL LET'S BANG omg sorry" / long, awkward pause followed by detailed discussion of MtG.

Stephen Wells

I had just starting playing magic the gathering and would like to play against dan, is he a commander sort of guy or more rush?

Marly

I bet Dan had a crush on Renee back then. That's why he is meeting her on short notice, during a visit to the family, even if she called him shitty Dan.

Jose Fabregat

(Watches Dan awkwardly suggest an MtG date). (Considers the two D&D campaigns I run and my wife plays in). This could actually work.

Stephen Wells

Shitty Dan wasn't really a shitty personality back in high-school. He was probably a nerd who was bullied by all the jocks in the school who gave him that nickname, and it stuck. Went on to work at an engineering consultancy, while the jocks are working at coffee shops, bakeries and bars. He's also cool now, because being a nerd is okay when you're an adult. I love how the nerd peeks back out from behind the cool guy in his hesitation-stammer in the last panel. Jeph basically drew me into the strip (though I haven't ever played MTG).

ah magic, you're never truly out of the game

Gaz

I continue to wonder how any member of this cast is considered a functioning adult

Dylan T

That's engineering consultancy pay scales for you.

Brooks Moses

Remove a piece of clothing per 5 life points lost? Though I'd probably stay away from playing green/white, then ...

Daniel Blom Paulsen

Hm from what I remember it was relatively standard practice if you could afford it to get a reasonable deck...

Milo

No, they will carefully sort the cards, sleeve them, put them aside in the box and THEN fuck

Bagge

A whole BOX? that’s a lot of cards dan

Jade Stephan

They gon fuck on a pile of magic cards.

Derick Huth

Kitchen table is always fun, no matter what the greater meta is

at0m

The second Renee mentioned MTG, Dan heard an insidious voice emanate from the depths of his mind: "You feel a burning desire to open another box of Magic cards."

Josh Moberly

ah, the look of someone who likes playing games, but haven't had the opportunity for a while. "IT'S OK, I CAN FLY IN A DECK BY DRONE IF IT MEANS WE CAN HAVE SOME PLAY-TIME!"

Bagge

If the QC-verse MtG meta is anything like the current one, then now may not be the best time for newbies to jump in. *mutters* Omnath everywhere...

Lucanid Landman

Eff Bee Dee is AWESOME!

Matthew Van Gangelen

She remembered his hobbies! I’d be touched, tbh.

Morgan Bauman

Shitty Dan I love you

Luzahn

Dang. He just offered to run pick up $150+ worth of cards.

Lightsabr2

No

I would say that is "challenge accepted!"

Wild Card

Is this going to take a wild turn where shitty dan ends up with elliot and renee/clinton/brun go full dirty throuple?

Aaron Schulz

Attached to his body, at a table, with said Magic sets?

R L

How dare he actually just be nice. I demand his head.

Jim Lee

I SHIP IT FOREVER.

M Cohen

Renee - just chill gal, it's going well.

Andrew Mitchell

“What the fuck” indeed.

Eric Sieck

Just cause they grow up doesn’t mean they don’t grow out of their hobbies. Though “shitty Dan” was never actually “shitty”. He just wasn’t as “cool” as the other Dan.

Thisguy

It helps that the answer is clearly yes.

Eric Sieck

Just saw a patreon notification and "shitty Dan" and my mind went immediately to dumbing of age Danny

Caleb Hill

Emily please

Miyaa

I would like a $32 Machiatto please.

Simon Green

With all the romantic plotlines currently escalating, I feel like we're building towards one cataclysmic "and then they fucked" moment, followed by the Earth exploding into a cloud of orgone.

William Cole

I’ll play with him, he’s hot.

Val

I rather wish that I had kept my cards, but I kinda figured that the game was dying. Considering that I got $1500 or so from the local comic/games shop back in '98, I'm sure they'd be worth quite a bit more now.

Hedgie

I'm not saying I have Renee's haircut sans pullback. I'm typing it.

Joseph

TWO boxes!

Joseph

BOX OF BOOSTERS. This is a man willing to spend money on a date!

Alan

I feel like asking if someone plays Magic is definitely just socially acceptable small-talk at this point. "Crazy weather, huh?" "Sure is. Do you play Magic?" "I used to. Kinda fell off it."

Cranthulos XII, Conqueror of Five Empires, Lord of the Blood Pits of Fethna

Now he's Chad FAE Dan, hell yeah

least_rectangles

Core Set 2021: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B08BXBJX32/ - 30$ a pop Booster Box Core 2021: https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0874B5G6M - 'bout 100$ Calculate taxes into this, you get close to 200$. You're on the mark, but a hair on the cheaper side I'm afraid.

R L

I'm 99% sure it's Emily

Morgan

Aw, I want them to play MtG. Cute! 😊. I miss that game. Haven't played since high school 21 years ago... ... Fuck, now I feel old.

Matthew McIntosh

Real talk I'd do the exact same.

R L

Is CoD doing a Halloween special for vampires? I see "Blood Pack" on the menu board.

Best pick up line

ViennaStar

Geeze, that's like gnomes looking down on halflings for being short: why are you being shitty about it when you're the same? I'd honestly argue that Magic players are worse.

Jaron Mortimer

Oh hell yes MTG Edit: I'd like to point out that, at the time of writing/edit of this comment, about 50% of the comments are from people who know MTG, or outright players. YALL NERDS and also my people /hugs

R L

I'd like to point out he's talking about spending over $100 dollars here. Unless things have changed since the last time I bought Magic cards.

Crushogre

i have a huge box of cards in my closest just waiting for the day someone asks me this question...

Probably a tie in many cases

Michael

Maybe Renee should grab Marigold as her sensei for this?

Michael Boettger

always up for some mtg....

Big same

I guess I didn’t realize Brun and Renee were townies. That’s fun! Amps up the small town drama in a lot of ways.

Alex Kosnett

So many story lines in the air right now, it's like watching the Flying Karamazov Brothers.

Clifton Royston

Sitting down and playing a card/tabletop game with a date is definitely high on my lists.

Anthony Gaglianese

I thought that was Emily

Am Queue

Dude is willing to shell out a bunch of money on what is essentially a first date...

Ehren Kluge

Magic player, can confirm thats basically how we get new friends that play.

Peter Ludwig

Teach her the glorious ways of EDH, Frankly Better Dan.

Jaron Mortimer

I don't feel like that's an inappropriate question to ask.

BioYuGi

So who's more awkward around the opposite sex? Renee or Clinton classic?

Michael Boettger

My local magic players look down on us d&d players, nerd hierarchy is fucked up

Hope

Dora with a very suspicious smile there. Unless that’s Emily and I have completely lost my ability to parse comic characters.

He seems like a good boy

Alexander W Couzens

He seems nice

Michael

I... I would like to play magic the gathering with Renee
