Less terrible than normal
>>153365357Hanners would fix everything right now!
Has he made official Liz nudes for Patreon yet?
>>153365499I dunno if he's made official nudes in years
>>153365499we have our own lewds anonand they might as well be canon
I always wanted to write a Marigold/Momo yuri fic and never did. I always thought they should be together. Now I just want Liz to ride Marten while they call Claire a 'he' and laugh the whole time.
>>153365742>MarigoldWorst character. I want her dead and nowhere near Momo who's a cutiepie
>>153365807what's wrong with a big tiddy hikkineet?
>>153365499>Has he made official Liz nudes for Patreon yet?No. He only did like 5 images before he stopped. They're not very good either.
>>153365357Well, Emily is better and smarter and taller than she is, so it's a reasonable concern. Even her brand of crazy is better.
>>153365357Why is the male's neck shadow changing shape on every panel? His head, neck, and shoulders don't seem to be moving at all.
>>153366625>betterwrong>smarterdebatable, especially once you account for relative age>tallersure>brand of crazy is betterI'll take basement gremlin over maniac pixie dreamgirl inventor every day of the week and twice on Sunday

>>153367039fuck yeah
>>153367039Too based to actually happen.
I wish Claire didn't have Patreon armor. Liz and Marten could be together but if tranny gets hit with anything negative, money's gone.
>>153365357>id love to see your poker faceJust FUCK already!!
>>153365357it actually is somehow less terrible than normal, how the fuck did that happen
>>153367039That's the good shit.
>>153367039Yesss! Pump some babies into that gremlin.
>>153367039Dbaru do these characters justice more than the official material
>>153366172nta, but she’s a vtuber, and I hate vtubers. So there’s one thing wrong with her.
>>153367516I’m actually a little surprised the patrons apparently don’t have a problem with all this ship teasing. Marten effectively spends more time with Liz than Claire now. I think this is what jealous petty women call an “emotional affair.”
>>153369543That's not a high bar but I do agree with you
>>153369537kek
>>153367516All it takes is for the patrons to see the break-up as a total Claire victory. Coincidentally, Marten spending the next year or two in his coffee shop letting a needy gremlin pump him for compliments and ply him with booze makes him look like a bad partner. All of his interactions with Claire being reduced to "Wow, you work too much. You should relax, like I do all day," makes him look like an unsupportive and unambitious partner. If this status quo keeps up long enough, Claire fans will cheer when she leaves him and fully commits to becoming a workaholic spinster, er, girlboss.
>>153367516>>153372928Why not just put her on the back burner?>>153369577Because she is like Martens and Claires daughter? Or like his little brat sister? The Patreons probably see some family shenigans that the they know from their sister or father.
Usual OP here, I was gravely ill in a hotel room for most of the week but we will be back to regularly scheduled programming for tomorrow's page
>>153367039>Liz low-key spazzes out during the afterglow when she realizes she can't stop obsessing over Marten knocking her up with triplets>>153369577>>153374642Clearly Jeph needs to give Liz and Claire shipteasing moments.
>>153376664My condolences that being tardwrangler for us is your day-to-day in times of health, but glad to hear you're on the mend
>>153376686Liz and Claire is a nonstarter. Claire needs someone with more backbone and inordinate patience for her bullshit, who can match her cuntiness but is also willing to tell her off when she does cross the line. So far the only character with those qualities is Clinton.
>>153376694I think people overestimate the time investment of these threads. I have an autohotkey script that does basically everything except click "post" so that I'm not just botting threads. The process is Open email -> Press macro key -> Hit post button.
>>153376929It's not that people overestimate the time investment. It's that they respect and appreciate that you put in the effort at all, and especially that you do so consistently. I've got a general on /tg/ that only needs a new OP once or twice a month and people still thank me for it because without at least one anon to truly rally around communities wither and die. We're all posters but only one person is OP, y'know?
>>153367039yessss!
>>153376910>Clinton/Claire is a pair of asshole doms each trying to violently rape the other to win petty arguments
>>153369545>So there’s one thing wrong with her.she is trying anon
>>153365357This is a los of words
>>153380361Sure thing, buddy, here you go.
>>153380696we can't start thogging here, this is a safe space
>>153372928>makes him look like an unsupportive and unambitious partnerI mean, he objectively is. It's been his thing the entire strip, he's the straight man to bounce the crazy off of, but he initiates fairly little, and he has almost nothing in the way of skills or drive, let alone developing any. He didn't become any good at administrative stuff at his office bitch job or the library, his band went nowhere, he barely pursued romantic attachments so the plot just drops them in his lap instead, (literally if his pose in the "you're beautiful" comic led to the logical next step of Claire plopping his his lap). He's just constantly around other people who are doing things for him to react to. Even this coffee shop shows how lame he is as a person. He acquired this space due to his status as consort of The Librarian, not his own skill, and he hasn't had the drive or skill to fill it with 90% of the things a coffee shop should have. Jeph sure doesn't care about the space, he cares so little about it he doesn't even draw stuff on the counter. Currently it solely exists to be a place Marten bounces off of other characters that isn't a home.
>>153369577Thankfully, Claire's not a woman!
>>153381502>Originally the strip focused on Marten and his incorrigible robot sidekick, Pintsize. “It was just going to be about this depressed lonely guy and his robot,” Jacques saysI always thought the comic opened with Marten at a low point, having moved across the country for a girl who dropped him and working a shit job, with only Steve and Pintsize as company. Making friends, starting a band, dating again, getting a new job were all positive improvements. He became less sad sack and more of the emotionally mature and stable one, helping others like Hannelore. Even his relationship with Claire was him finally taking the initiative for once, showing up and her mom's house to pursue her.To me it's more that his character has withered away as his role as the comic's protaganist became more of a vestigial organ. He's recently become somewhat centered again with CubeTown and Liz, but he's all hollowed out. I think at least in part because music was his main actual passion, and Jeph no longer cares for it, it's virtually absent from the comic after being a mainstay early on.I kind of wish he and Hannelore had gotten together and ridden off into the sunset, free from experiencing the comic's decline.
>>153381502unambitious, yes, but he's been quite attentive. low drive, sure, but marten is noted as good with guitars, can put a band together, was actually well-qualified for his job at the library as stated by his boss and his interns, and knows shibari just from being raised by his bdsm whore mother.
>>153365742Fuck it, I've been working on a Liz/Marten hookup fic for a while and I think I can finish it soon. Where do we even post writefaggotry these days? I haven't done it since Pastebin was an option.
>>153381860AO3
>>153365357I finally kicked my QC reading habitthe thing that finally helped me was this stupid fucking panel. It was the "man I am so tired of how exceedingly performative everything jeph writes is" kick I neededbut I can't look away from the train wreck entirely, so I came by to ask "how's it gone since then?"
>>153381932also the "baby stuff if you're a baby haver" panis in the same strip too, it was the whole of this comic not just that panel. Man.
>>153381860is pastebin *not* an option anymore? damn. you could always chuck it on ao3 i guess lmao, or, hell, smut artists are uploading their works to catbox; you could always do the same with a plain text file
>>153382130Pastebin has been shit for NSFW text for a couple years now. They auto detect "adult content" and remove it.
