something's fishy

The problem Liz has, in my honest opinion, is that she is no longer mingling with other people in her field of research. Sure, she might be a genius, but she is looking for inspiration in journals and research papers, and not having peers to talk about her research stuff with is holding her back significantly.
So, work-from-home isn’t a viable option here?
Noooooo! It's Thursday night - no new comic for DAAAAYYYYS! I need my QC fix, I'm desperate, I'm dying! whine whine whine whine whine
I've got some cheese, we can have a light cheese and whine brunch. whine whine whine wimper!
Goblin in the goo tank! Yes!
Pickin' out dough?
I want a goo tank.
By my calculations it takes 220 family size jello packets to fill a 55 gallon drum. Live the dream!
42069 - so somewhere out in the ocean a moray was eaten by an orca. So,... either the orca got moray poisoning and died leaving moray stranded or she's exploring an ocean from the belly of a whale,....
In ten years' time a Moray walks out of the ocean onto the beach near Halifax and says "That was really interesting!"
Is this how Bacta was discovered?
loving liz's new hair, it really sets off her goblin faces
Join the goo tank, for SCIENCE! ...seriously, write up a hypothesis, do your experiment, publish your results.
If Liz won't get therapy, then Moray's relentless positivity may be her best option. That, and the goo tank.
I need a Moray in my life. I'm tired of living in the Home and waiting to die.
Moray is best slime girl ever.
Liz needs some disengagement time -- sensory deprivation tank, a good hit of x, and some time watching the ocean.
Also probably some cuddle puddle time. Not a literal puddle.
It's odd, and very sad, that Liz has somehow internalised the idea that scientists work on their own. I blame the people that should have been supporting her up to now. Her Phd supervisors should have arranged for her to develop her work alongside her peers and we know she was effectively abandoned after she arrived at Cubetown. What Claire and Moray should be focusing on now is not encouraging her to do more work on her own, but instead finding a group of pyscicist peers that she can discuss their and her ideas with.
Ooh ooh… maybe that’s where Emily joins Cubetown? (And if not Emily… Hannelore Von Swartzpunkt!)
you'll be helping them! you're saving them time! they'll want to work with yoooou
Has logic ever helped someone going through what Liz is?
Not sure how many people this awakened something for, but welcome to your new kink!
A couple hours in the goo tank would fix me.
Any goo tank, or specifically Moray's goo tank?
A sensmoray deprivation tank, if you will
But she knows about the smell? Hmm. Does she have trauma related to her arms? Moray is super sweet but I’m thinking Evan is Liz’s best romantic foil.
It's the hombojombos, isn't it? Everyone loves hombojombos.
Imagine the conversations at a sushi cafe next to an aquarium.
“The Victoria Aquarium… sponsored by Prince Albert Sushi Train! The only sushi train where your sushi comes in a can!”
Moray x Liz ship? I mean, I'm not against it at least. ~<3
Actually Liz, it is the complete opposite. It could be exhausting to hang out with certain pessimistic people sometimes.
But Moray has (almost) endless energy (as long as she gets her few hours of goo tank time).
GooOooOOOOOooooo
As Charley Brown would say: Goo ed grief.
!!!???
One look at her and you can't deny, She's got Gremlin Eyes.
Well she can work those lights So they fiddle with the traffic Sometimes she's mean As an M- 16 automatic Oh she got Gremlin eyes..
Is is bad I'm kinda interested in the goo tank? Not the smell, but it seems like it would be super relaxing. Like a mud bath?.which, is another thing i want to try someday.
Mmm, probably not. I'm not sure about a mud bath myself. As a child (1960's) I'd go out to a nearby stream and I promise you I got more than a few mud baths. :)
I wonder if Liz has ANY idea how to love herself? She needs it desperately. No, I'm not talking about sex - though a good orgasm never did anyone much harm. I'm talking about being able to accept that she is a person capable and worthy of love. I'm not sure that I have ever seen an expression come out of her mouth that would indicate that this is true.
Seemingly not. Her entire sense of self worth was built on her reputation as a scientific genius. As soon as the first cracks opened in that perception, it was self loathing all the way down.
What’s goo for the slime girl is goo for the goblin, or something like that.
I think a couple hours in the goo tank would fix me
"go ahead, swim in my internal organs" but like, cheerfully?
Moray's ability to stay upbeat and positive could be tied to the reason she still exists. There's been many unknown number of Morays produced. All of them chose to reassimilate, save for her. But she's found a way to make it work.
A plausible theory. It's hard to get a sense of their reasons for choosing reabsorption because we have limited examples to work with. We only really know of four Morays for certain. Moray-21 is of course still active, Moray-44 and Moray-64 both chose to be reabsorbed (although under very different circumstances), and Moray-42069 was presumably never recovered. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4944 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4959

Except for when the goo tank doesn't work, of course. Then it becomes the sadness chamber. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5201 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5306
Read on from the second link and enjoyed the bonding of LizGoblin and Cranky Blueberry all over again.
bloop
gloop
So, it smells like gooshi? (ya, I know you don't like it when I maki the bad puns)
You're on a roll.
Academics are well known for retorts like "Oh, yeah? I know your research is, but what is mine?!"
"Y-yeah? Well your research is a big dumb stupid face and it smells like a butt!" *slap fight ensues*
When Liz spurns your goo tank Due to sushi bar stank That's A Moray!
10/10 no notes
I wonder what is with Liz, sushi places, and aquariums? Almost like Liz spent her Masters degree time at the University of Chicago, not too far from the Chicago Aquarium.
Yes, Liz, join the Goo-Tank Clan.
Ol' Goopy Bastard
Warm Goo Phase...
Butters' Creamy Goo?
'Why wouldn't other people hate me as much as I hate me? Are they stupid or something??'
☹️
....can I dive into her goo tank?
Dude, buy her a drink first...
If it works, sign me up for the goo tank! You'd be amazed what you can get used to with positive associations, lol.
Liz, don't be an ass to Moray!
LET MORAY COVER YOU IN HER SLIME, COWARD!
In a goo'ed way...
Can Moray be my friend?
Moray is everyone's friend!
Moray is an expert at full body hugs.
But somehow Moray herself still smells delightful, right? RIGHT? Don't ruin this for me, Jeph!
This isn't the first time Liz has compared her to sushi.
if Moray fits, Moray sits
True. Cats are liquids, after all.
