BONUS COMIC

No. Sven is not a mooch.

awgiedawgie

Aw Jeph, how about a spin-off strip about a day in the lives of the gift-basket delivery drones? They are some seriously on-call AIs!

my sister officiated my daughter and her husband's wedding last year. PA has no restrictions on who may officiate. now if only states would stop requiring permission slips for marriage, we'd be all set.

Joe

OMG I didn't realize until I read your comment that he meant he could officiate a wedding. I thought he just meant he could be a groom. I thought it was the lamentation of a single person amidst a bunch of couple-squee. It seemed pretty awkwardly placed, though.

Gabriel Burns

Awww, I was hoping Pintsize would officiate.

Jax

It's hard to be taken advantage of by your friends if you really just want to be helpful to your friends.

Some Ed

hell, in some state (like mine) it just takes being a notary! (and yes I've officiated at ex's weddings)

And Bubbles is savouring the aroma as only Bubbles can.

Ack

Claire is all bitch please, it's Tyrolean speck.

Dean Reilly

"Btw, I'm legally allowed to marry people" made my day :-D

Serj Rowan

I reckon ULC, or maybe Church of the Later Day Dude (https://dudeism.com/) in Steve's case.

OldGoat

itll be great if they get married that night

Creampuff

I'm wondering if Steve is clergy in something like the Universal Life Church, or if he's a Justice of the Peace. I'm assuming he's not talking about the '1-day Designation', because it sounds like *anyone* who's affiliated with the wedding party could get that. Also, it's a 3-day waiting period before you can pick up the license. https://www.mass.gov/guides/getting-married-in-massachusetts-before-the-wedding#-who-can-conduct-my-wedding-in-massachusetts?-

But is Sven a mooch though?

TV4Fun

I love this comic so much

I remember the first time we saw Kai. She told the best library joke ever: “Dewey Decimal System? Do we ever!”

Philip D Jones

Mmmmm. Gift baskets.

Bagge

FWIW, I've performed several weddings. Rules vary from state to state (and sometimes locally). For example, in Maryland, the only qualification legally required is that the people you're performing it for have to consider you their minister. But you have to get a license for it to be legal, and have the celebrant sign it.

Hugh Eckert

There's a Neapolitan pizza place near us that does a killer fig and prosciutto pizza. They call it the "Figgy Piggy".

Hugh Eckert

I'm assuming you mean to say you like it. I have often wondered why people use a word that refers to feces to indicate that something is excellent.

awgiedawgie

All they need is Brun dressed as Elvis and there will be a drunken wedding

MikeT

I don't know how far ahead Jeph does the strip, but the timing with the hallmark thing is interesting.

Michael Boettger

This is Questionable Content, not Dumbing of Age.

My favorite pizza involves prosciutto. Mmm prosciutto.

Me thinks it's coffee.

Joel Bateman

Is it tea? The package made me think it was coffee and I wouldn't blame her if it was. I can happily smell coffee all day, even if I can't stand the flavor.

Douglas E. Smith

She got so drunk that the plaid melted off her shirt.

Auros Harman

There will be hell to pay if the rest of the crew isn't there. Besides, there's paperwork involved that you have to get from the courthouse beforehand. <-- Licensed officiant. Probably same church as Steve.

Ted Van Roekel

To Steve. He's legally allowed to marry people.

Adam Abbott

Even if she's smelling tea.

awgiedawgie

But then Tai would also be upset because she didn't get the fancy dress and all that! And that would be no good.

Brooks Moses

Bubs is sitting on the FLOOR, people. And totally Zen on whatever that is she's holding that does NOT look like tea to me.

BobC

Bonus strip request: what does Bubbles see when she sniffs coffee beans?

Danya Michael

Same-night delivery of prosciutto? Even better!

awgiedawgie

This is so wholesome, and I LOVE it!

Oh boy... This might end with "you may kiss the bride"

Forgettable

Same night gift basket delivery Now That's What I Call Gentrification! Vol. 69

Adam Friedlander

I need to find where they're going for gift baskets. Prosciutto on order? Sign me up!

Anthony Gaglianese

Makes alot of sense. With the exception of Faye's mom and sister, pretty much everyone they'd invite is local.

Michael Boettger

There is no cake.

Zach Elwyn

Yo @Jeph Jacques, what happened to Tai's stripes?

they're gonna have like two more beers & wake up married tomorrow, aint they???

Peter McDevitt

or Pintsize

Rich Holmes

Why is the big stronk warbot so adorable when she sniffs tea?

Joel Bateman

God this is so me when I drink, I just tell my friends how much I love them until they’re sick of it

BABIES I LOVE THEM ALL

Tamara Macadam

I'm just waiting for Dora and Tai to get drunk married and then Claire, Faye, and Bubbles be pissed because they weren't there....

Shawn K. Younkin

If it becomes a double wedding imma lose my shit.

Bryan Stopp

You know while some people say Martin can be a push over I really don't think that's the case, like when him and Dora were together and things weren't working he did his best to be assertive and try to resolve the issues. For me he's always just like a really chill dude who is happy just to have a good life with good friends, and even if that kind of attitude can lead to stagnation and a lack of character and personal growth I believe that ad long as you have the right friends who get what kind of person you are and are ability to help push you into trying new things without being forceful and it's also great seeing Claire mature and form into that kind of partner for him (with a few miss steps along the way at first, but hey that's life for you)

So much wholesome-ness! .....Now where's the horrible tragedy and Catastrophe that will surely follow this goodness?

Lord Crusade

Marten as best man? Steve can officiate? Things are moving quickly, suddenly. Relationship reinforcements abounding. Time to start looking at cakes! And prosciutto rocks. And Speck is best.

Michael Boettger

Bubbles smelling coffee is the cutest shit, thank you for this gift Jeph

SharkFist

ON MARTEN AND STEVE'S BOAT.

Creepy Cat Lady

I called her asking Marten to be the Best Man. I think Dora is going to pick Faye to be her maid of honor. Claire or May for flower girl.

JD

I suspect they're about to get married in the bar...

Kenneth Carlile

Prosciutto is the shit

Mark P.

THEY SHOULD GET MARRIED ON A BOAT

Giant Speck

YESSSS, I am so happy to see Claire with all her gift baskets. She definitely needs more. And I also call dibs on the prosciutto.
