Compromising Positions

I love how Marigold changes gears in mid-sentence. "You saw me yesterday" becomes "What kind of presents? I like presents."

Ack

Oddly enough she's about 1.3 Emilys tall

Fart Captor

right, but Marigold has been MIA for a while

Stoodmuffin

At this point Jeph is just cackling madly, while throws darts at a calendar to see when Faye and Bubbles will finally ship....

dvsDave

But Emily goes in high, knowing full well Marigold's low centre of gravity will cope.

Scott Kenney

Clearly Emily’s tackle hugs are the most powerful tackle hugs.

Will Weaver

What is the Marigold/Dale ship name? Because if it's not Darigold (a dairy-oriented company that may just exist here in the Northwest) I may have to be disappointed.

Celine Chamberlin

Wouldn't exactly be unprecedented. :-\

Daryl Sawyer

Nah, I don’t look at those. I just thought up a good story for her!

Jeph Jacques

How tall is Emily? In my head, she was always taller than everybody else, except Elliot.

Jan Gampe

YAY MARIGOLD'S BACK

Gillian Brown

Especially when Emily seems literally incapable of anything resembling malice. If she wanted to have a relationship with Dale, she'd likely ask Marigold's permission (and maybe even invite her to participate)!

Ben Russell-Gough

Marigold looks like me. :)

Stoodmuffin

It's hard to stay jellos at Emely

Bagge

I MISSED HER! Omg I'd react the same way, though

Stoodmuffin

You don't need to be a shipper to know that it's in-character for Marigold to easily get jealous of Dale having a close relationship with any woman except herself.

Ben Russell-Gough

I've got to say that I don't think that the character art has changed in any noticible way.

Ben Russell-Gough

I doubt that's going to happen any time soon.

Ben Russell-Gough

Emily has a brilliant method for distracting Marigold from her own insecurities and her sense of being 'unworthy'. It isn't quite 'Ooh! Shiny!' but it's certainly that she'd prefer to think about presents than the possibility that 'friendship' may equal 'attraction' between Dale and... well, any woman other than her!

Ben Russell-Gough

Panel 5 is Prime Blerf.

Onedavewreckingcrew

Yes she returns!

GuySavage

Her hugs are more energetic than the LHC!

Andrew

Your gift is a brand new imaginary anime!

Andrew

Nice detail with the tongue in the fifth panel! :D

If Jeph is asking if we remember Marigold I think he's been checking the message boards lately.

Brent Catherman

Yay! Marigold; my favorite too!

Rob McBobson

hnnnnnnnng another comic with no resolution to Faye's thoughts from last week.

Travis Wedding

panel 5: the mental state of all of your readers, me included

Waffliesinyoface

I started somewhere around when Faye and Angus got together mid 1000's I think been so long I lost track.

Marigold has become even cuter. WHAT DARK SORCERY IS THIS!?

Populuxe

My first strip was 2747, when Dave “Dumbing Of Age” Willis did a fill in strip. It featured May, Marigold and Pintsize. It interested me enough to keep reading, I fell in love with the strip, started from the beginning and never looked back.

Populuxe

blep

Magic Chopstick Games

She went from having a problem to woot presents XD

Kyle Major

Marigold is my favorite too! There was a Marigold comic running when I first got into the comic. The one with the fancy dress that she was self-conscious in. She's a lot of why I started reading QC.

Lisa

Look it's fine Marigold, you can just all date each other. Problem solved.

Luzahn

Ok. I *will* make a shipping comment.

BobC

Ye cannot change the laws of physics

Warning. Warning. This is a plot complication. Warning. Warning. This is a plot complication. Emotional turmoil incoming in 10 9 8 7 6 Mr. Spock? What's happening? 3 2 1 Wipeout...

I'm assuming the background was enveloped with light because Emily hugs are the best

Fart Captor

I had the same thought, time will tell but Jeph has said no babies (though he did have Marigold have a fever dream about birthing Hanners)

I missed Marigold so much. She is my precious little ball of gaming love and insecurity and I want her life to be filled with good things and level ups.

Samantha Yeaman

No I think the hug (and a bit of knowledge of Emily) alleviated any thoughts of jealousy.

Is it just me or does Marigold look ahead may be Pregnant in the second to last panel?

Kevin

Emily confirmed as author insert. :B

TMN

Marigold's face while she's getting hugged is PRICELESS

Fart Captor

Yes Mari, it makes so much sense to be jealous when you're boinking him ten hours a day...

MikeT

No point being jealous of Emily marigold... she won't be able to conceptualize what you are talking about. Much too human of a thing.

Joseph H.

Jeph, I don't think my heart can handle both the Faye/Bubbles will they won't they storyline AND Marigold being mad/suspicious at Dale and Emily....

Kyle Jenkins

If Emily said she'd bought me presents, I would assume that a visit by the SCP Foundation would be forthcoming.

Adam Friedlander

Please don't send her away with Hanners :(.
