Yeah the original was stupid. The new one is slightly funnier I guess. I’m not offended by it or anything, just didn’t care for it much. ---

> [@tr0psn4j](#): > > Yeah the original was stupid. The new one is slightly funnier I guess. I’m not offended by it or anything, just didn’t care for it much. The new strip isn’t funny at all. The original was just more of the ritualized abuse the Sweet tits character takes off yelling bird. It was just weird to see him using her a receptacle while verbally abusing her. I think he (the artist) got yelled at for going too far and this is his deliberately lame “Well pardon me!” retort. ---

But based on the original, I gotta say Sweet Tits has a sweet ass as well 😃 ---

The original was IMO much funnier. [Today’s strip](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1691) was phoned in though. ---

[When the hell](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1692) did Marigold have time to find a guy to smooch at that party, much less get felt up? The only “new” eligible guy she met was Dale (pizza dude/NElf rogue) and and the tension in the room was for PvPing each other. The rest of the time she’s shocked about Angus and Faye, and then laughing at their predicament. Are we going to get a flashback scene tomorrow where she and Dale started talking nerdy to each other and she experiences the love that dare not speak its name (Horde-Alliance crossover)? ---

She’s talking about [when she kissed Angus](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1630). Although the [boob touching](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1631) wasn’t really his idea. I love Hanners and Momo’s faces in the last panel…their differing reactions (despite the same ‘OOOOH!’) are fun. ---

Ah yeah, I assumed for some reason that she was talking about the events of party since they were talking about her Angus+Faye discovery there, but that’s true, she had the (alcohol-fueled) courage to kiss a guy. ---

Are we going to get a flashback scene tomorrow where she and Dale started talking nerdy to each other and she experiences the love that dare not speak its name (Horde-Alliance crossover)? You’re forgetting the other guy she’s met recently - Sven. Marigold might have have gotten over her crush on Angus so quickly by transferring it to Sven. ---

Back to here…I did see some potential there, personally… Which gives me the image of them doing the deed, and her calling him Alliance Scum in the throes of passion. Which delights me. (On the other hand, as of [yesterday](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1693), he’s looking kinda creepy…) ---

I’ve been assuming he’s being set up as her love interest, after a suitable time. ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Weird seeing Cosette still in crutches and thinking “Oh yeah, comic book time.” I completely blanked on Cosette and wondered how Hanners could get her hair cut but have it LONGER than the last strip. And, incidentally, I know several people like Tai (not in the short, spunky lesbian sense but in the constant TMI sense). ---

I had to laugh at Martin talking about his mom cutting his hair. My mom used to cut my hair when I was a young teenager, and exactly the same thing happened to me - she cut my ear, and that was the last time I let her cut my hair! ---
