Topical Application

DON'T PRETEND FOR A MINUTE YOU DON'T LIKE BOOBS, LIZ i know what you are you depressed, low-self-esteem-ass bisexual gremlin 😤

Im sure the doctor just had a thought of how it would feel to bury himself in moray,..... for science of course.

ah yes... "splort."

Late to this party. Has anyone made the “faceplant in boobs but breathing through tubes “ A Moray joke yet?

Figures. Poor little goblin. I have skin allergies, and it's not fun.

Why are her arms (the prosthetic part) turning red too? Surely the dermal cover doesn't react the same as l'il goblin's skin?

That's not fascinating, Doc. I'm dieing from itching.

or maaaaaybe the problem is that Moray's goop tank is OPEN-TOPPED and just anything drifting through the atmosphere can get in there and grow ICK ask me about mold poisoning sometime

Come on, doc, you are in a position to know of the incredibly soothing properties of boobs: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4107 (I tried to locate the source of the “That’s what they’re here for”, but this reference is good, too).

😂🤣😂

Splort indeed, doc. Splort indeed.

"It should have been me!" -Doctor

Allergic reaction to the slime? There goes EVERY hentai trope I can think of. :(

still not beating the... you know what, I think this ship is just going to happen. ~<3

Wait a minute. Both Liz's arms are prosthetics from above the elbow down. So why are her forearms breaking out too?

Did Moray ever get evaluated by Health Canada?

Genuinely impressed that the cybernetics are also becoming inflamed.

When you sit in the drink, And turn itchy and pink, That's a Moray

If this were a star trek episode, she's patient Zero.

Baking soda bath time

One row of three panels and then two single panels? Getting some real format breaking today!

Liz: "It's snot what you think!" s;ns

It is clear now that Liz and Moray made a rash decision.

Oh the Cubetown rumor mill is going to go have a *field day*

I never feared for humanity until I learned AIs could SPLORT! And that's because you know Pintsize will be doing it next, forever and everywhere. A genuine existential crisis!

Wait why are her arms turning red? I thought they were prosthetics.

Interesting that her arms also turned pink.

I was worried about this back at #5780, but that doesn't mean I wanted it to happen.

She didn’t say if the areas that were covered by her suit were also affected. If so, Jeph could have all sorts of fun with that at our dear gremlin’s expense.

Doctor: to be so lucky

When Moray controls The location of holes That's an airway!

[splort]

🎶 When the gel hits your skin Like a hyper allergen That’s a Moray. 🎶

The arms are designed to mimic/match the skin tone and complexion of their wearer, obviously. (No but really I wouldn't bat an eye at that explanation)

Trochee trochee and iamb, Trochee trochee and iamb, Trochee Moray! Sorry, that's apropos of almost nothing (except in honor of BookBeard), because it tickled me to realize that the characteristic rhythm of that form is a double trochee, followed by iamb on the first two lines, and by an empatic absence on the third. It amused me, so I thought someone else might be amused.

Clearly Moray needs to watch more movies. Everyone knows you should never get a gremlin wet.

Test on an inconspicuous area first.... but choose it wisely

Come now, doctor, you're the medical personnel for an island of nerds with access to some of the most advanced technology known to mankind. That can't be the most tawdry thing you've heard even within the last *day*.

The redness from the rash on Liz's face is conveniently hiding her blush...

Curious that her arms also get the rash, I assumed the skin was synthetic.

When a planktonic splash Gives a gremlin a rash That's A Moray!

It’s just like when I learned about “duck itch” after swimming in a northern Wisconsin lake where a lot of ducks liked to poop.

Dear Strong Bad, “How do your prosthetic arms have an allergic reaction?” Signed, Patreon

So you dived into goo Now the hives are on you That's a Morayyy!

Nobody at Cubetown is old enough to have set aside an ocean of calamine lotion, I take it.

She's got an allergae.

So, while the oral use of Moray still is under question, topical use of her maintenance gel might now cause allergic reactions. Also, SPLORT. That is a reaction being caused by someone hearing about suffocation via a Moray unit.

People are asking about how Liz's prosthetic arms are turning red, but what I want to know is, can you get a really satisfying scratch with the fingernails?

"dont be stupid" ok tsundere 😏

When the goo makes you itch and your friend is a snitch...

I repeatedly snort laughed at this. Thank you Jeph, it's been rough lately and I needed this.

Plot twist: she was allergic to her own farts

a three day hold and treatment for the maintenance mucus, what else could a Liz want?

And now Liz realizes how much she enjoyed it...

Why are her arms reacting if theyre prosthetic

"Splort" is a perfectly reasonable reaction to that statement IMHO

lmao I have to admit, I'm the kind of person who noticed that they weren't thinking about safety at all before immersion, and figured this probably isn't the kind of story where that would come up. it makes me weirdly happy that it did come up - hopefully only in a small way. poor Liz.

Why her arms breaking out if they're artificial?

Though her mucus is lit You're allergic to it. That's A Moray. Ok, it's my first try. And mucus is hard...

The goo is completely hypoallergenic - unless someone farts in it.

Imagining the Doctor AI’s first line of this conversation was “Please state the medical nature of the emergency, eh?”

Appropriate SPLORT, Doc

Panels 6 through 10 are just a continuation of ever-worsening statements from Liz and Moray. That poor medic becoming more and more concerned.

Also, as an aside, imagine how wonderful life would be if you could bury your face in someone's tits(or other areas) and they could provide an airway for you to help breath when need be. Human intimacy would get a pretty nice boost.

I feel like Moray is very proud of her lashes, and spends a lot of time on them.

SPLORT!

Huh, now why are her prosthetics pink? Do they have an allergic reaction too?

Easy on the subtext, doc.

So Moray isn't approved for oral OR topical use—good to know!

Do I want to know what sort of therapy they have in Cubetown's mental health unit?

Or DO consume the mucus!

Why are her arms getting a rash? Aren’t they mechanical?

Even Liz’s robot arms are allergic to Moray!

Surprised she didn't start having the reaction until -after- she left the tank, considering she was entirely immersed in it. Are we sure she isn't just allergic to the air?

Glad she didn't need a shot of Benadryl, she'd be unconscious for a day or so

Wait....how are her robot arms getting infected??? BIO MECHANICAL LIMBS?!?

Can we get this goblin a little peace, please?

Splort

I've heard worse ways people have discovered their allergies

I vote for more scenes of Liz’s face buried in tits. Especially Evan’s!

Do not taunt the Happy Fun Mucus.
