Given the context, I’d be careful about mentioning posts slipping between things if I were you.

I wouldn’t call it a post…

I thought it was a photograph of Dora. Which is possibly more disturbing. It is her famous tattoo, though.

I didn’t notice the tattoo this morning. That makes it worse, though I’m not sure I could define why.

So does Pintsize’s HUGE GRIN!

For those keeping track, Martin stopped following Dora’s tweets the night of the incident. Dora left Martin on, but that might just have been because she didn’t update until considerably later.

I’m tempted to do a dirty version of “Why would God need a starship?!” but I’m going to refrain. This time.

Dora’s Twitter description is still “I run Coffee of Doom and make a damn fine latte when I’m not smoochin’ my sweetie.” She may still be holding onto hope, or she may also have totally forgotten that Twitter has such a description listed. I’m going with the latter.

It references yesterdays’ strip (1812). The question is, who’s is it? I’m guessing Pintsize took it from Steve.

I’m guessing Pintsize bought it on the internet and has been waiting for an opportunity to whip it out (so to speak).

From #1812: Was that your… \<Fleshlight\>?

I dunno, she seems to be taking it pretty well.

Certainly far better than Marten.

She’s not taking it badly but she’s in a terribly awkward moment. I’ve been there, done that and it’s not fun.

I hope you mean you’ve been in awkward moments, and not that you’ve witnessed an anthropomorphic PC strap on a fleshlight and get on all fours to invite your friend to have sex with it.

You’ve had a friend with a sentient robot attempting to imitate his ex-GF with a pic and a sex toy … ?

The Questionable Content characters have their own twitter accounts? Seriously?

Yeah, it’s fairly common now. The characters in the T.V. show Community have twitter accounts too (even Annie’s Boobs).

I have to admit I was expecting another Pintsize punchline in this one.

Hrm. I’d assumed pintsized swiped the fleshlight from Ms. Reed’s bags during her last visit, with ‘ **that’s** where that went’ to come during her visit. Perhaps, though, it’s connected to the migrating bra. Maybe even the mysterious couch condoms.

THE PIECES ARE ALL SLIDING INTO PLACE and perhaps that choice of phrase was unfortunate . . .

But why would God need a – DAMMIT!
