I should not send this to my co-workers, I should not send this to my co-workers... (We teach process improvement and stuff for a university)
Hooray
Good old Teh!
Marten wears that T-shirt, we know that all is right in Teh world
Marten and Claire being cute and goofy? We love to see it!!
Every time the "Teh" shirt shows up in a comic I can't help but smile.
oh good, i was worried about these two 🥹
That sounds like he’s implying he (hopefully also she? Not optimistic) will be done in two minutes, ngl
Maybe he's just that good.
I just gannt with how cute they are.
Dammit, Jeph, why you gotta call us engineers out like that? 😆
Right. I was feeling seen at the end there.
This is the first time my spam filter has dumped a Patreon notification from Jeph in the spam folder.
This is the most ridiculously wholesome comment section about sex ever. 🥰
I’m just going to be happy now.
Just don't use a Sankey Diagram - especially if you're employing a fluffer.
Is GANTT + fluffer OK?
Healthy communication and conflict resolution, *and* adorable sexy banter? ❤️
I think they have a good bit more communicating to do before they're really addressed their conflict. But at least they're inching towards acknowledging it. It's a start. I'm kinda hoping that Martin's drunken night is a wakeup call for Claire. She's been so buried in work that she hasn't been listening to him expressing his need for more of her time and attention. She's giving him that time and attention now, but I'm not sure yet if this is a one-off because he's recovering, or if she has seen the deeper issue and is going to make more of an effort. They've been good about working through tough issues in the past (like when she was feeling resentful of his job at the Smif library); hopefully they'll pull it off again.
"I'm gonna give your critical path some hard analysis"
First boner work, THEN bonus work.
I love seeing these two together. And also, I really like how Claire is drawn here, it feels really animated and dynamic. Like, never mind just avoiding talking heads, her varied positions tell a story; the only time she’s in the same position for multiple panels is when the Anxiety catches her.
Up and to the right! (That's what she said)
Yeah babey, traverse my decision tree...
Don't forget that the original specification for males (of all species) was to carry DNA from one female to another, but there was the usual scope creep.
efficiency is cool (said no artist ever) ~<3
"In the history of the world, there have been five kisses that have been rated the most efficient; this one blew right through their error bars."
Jeph, in your comment, is that pronounced "orgy chart"?
It's short for "orgasm, chartreuse."
I’ve really missed seeing these two just being okay around each other.
I love these two dorks.
Now Marten, don't pursue efficiency at the expense of effectiveness.
Mmm...efficiency porn...oh, yeah, some Celonis and Tableau dashboarding, a bit of BPM, and lots of Lucidchart.... that's the hot stuff. *touches self
Ive been really enjoying everyone's facial expressions recently, esp Claire's
This calls for a spreadsheet. :D
Ten gets you five that Claire already has one for this.
people have been making jokes about optimizing intimacy since the 1910s. See, for example Life magazine; Jan 23, 1913, pg 207. A young couple embracing in an office. On the far side of panel is an older man. Caption: "Efficiency crank: Young man, are you aware that you employed fifteen unnecessary motions in delivering that kiss?"
"I will Excel at spreading your sheets."
"Wait until you see my pivot tables!"
Watch out, the shared love of optimization might seem great at first, but then he starts with the conspiracy theories and you poop yourself. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4369
It's been too long since we've seen those goobers
Wait till Claire finds out that the occasional refractory period actually increases optimal efficiency!
Straight fuckin' adorable up in here.
Straight up workin' it. And by "it", I mean my biweekly sprint JIRA queue 😏
Take your like and getoutahere!
About time these two got their shit together 😂😂
You know what they say about unprotected sex and one night stands, right? Cheaper by the dozen.
Don't we want Faz from DoA with his charts for this?
Put me in camp "Rarely Wants To See Faz".
Why can't it be both?
The problem (well, if you call it that) is with some kinds of process optimization you end up performing the process again in search of ultimate optimization. It's a never-ending research project if you're doing it right.
The man knows his girlfriend. Can't even be mad
Process optimization is definitely always on my AuDHD mind.
Process optimization gets me hot.
The optimization must not have taken cooling into consideration.
Nice to see Marten and Claire having a wholesome moment
C: “Zlata, execute plan Epsilon Iota Sigma”. Z: “Oh. OHH!”
She's not wrong
Meanwhile, Moray is having a field day punching out the first of ten purchases and your eleventh one is free cards! Marten unintentionally becomes a Canadian millionaire who gets a special catalog from Canadian tires… even though he doesn’t have a car.
"Canadian millionaire" or "Canadian Tire Money millionaire"? There is an exchange rate to consider.
Ayo, shut u… oh. She’s gone. Never mind. Go Claire!
This may be the only time I've seen faster sex used as part of a proposition.
The key to a successful negotiation is knowing your audience, after all.
He knows how to push her buttons.
Well he should by now they've been together for awhile
