The Shape Of You

At this point I think Jeph is just turning Liz's arms pink to troll the commentariat.

I wish I could get in the goo tank.

Ooooooh, *music snob humor*, that's a callback to *early* QC

When I got married, the only real directive I had for the wedding band was that their gift to me was 4 hours free from Ed Sheeran.

I have never heard anyone say anything good about Ed Sheeran's music. It really makes me wonder how he ever managed to become famous. And it makes me glad I've never listened to it.

Fantastic Marten face in the last panel.

Ah, Jeph reverting to Inserted Musical Opinions mode… (This mostly just got the Mitch Benn “Ed Sheeran Apocalypse” song going through my head.)

Flashback to when Pokemon Scarlet/Violet came out and some of the first mods to get released for it were to remove the Ed Sheeran song in the end credits

If I knew Moray, we'd have already figured out if I were allergic by now.

is there a reason why liz's arms have the rash too? are liz's prosthetics organic?

Moray's maintenance goo is full of active nanomachinery which she is completely unaware of but which would have digested Liz entirely if she'd stayed in there a little longer, the rash is from her epidermis being disassembled to reveal skin's freshest layer (the flesh & bones).

No slime. Mids and treble are too veiled. Too dark. No sparkle.

Does the slime vibrate to make the sound or are there special slime resistant headphones?

I don't mind Ed Sheeran. I even like several of his songs.

Aw, Moray just want to slime up everyone.

Is “immersed in a big vat of lukewarm slime” the joke and/or analogy for Ed Sheeran music? 😉

Remember when this comic was about Alternative music? /s

Who's Ed Sheeran? ;-p

Marten's pinkey extended in the last frame 😆

For someone who also detests the little creep, this hit the mark. :-)

Still asking for ... me: why is Liz's dermal cover on her robotic arms reacting to the goo in the same way as her meat skin? Is it bad for all AI's with that dermal cover? Can we get some people from the Weird and Maybe Personally Dangerous Dept to volunteer a senior researcher (or intern if it's not that interesting) to check it out?

#3 Grandma?

I have the Ed Sheeran humiliation scene in ‘Yesterday’ on repeat which ironically makes me think he’s a good sport about this, but then I listen to everything he’s ever written and no actually he is actually shit, lol.

OMG, I love this so much! Especially the Ed Sheeran joke. 🤣

When you goo-sit a while, 'cause you're an audiophile, that's a-Moray!

Your Ed Sheeran comment below the comic nearly made me spit tequila on my monitor. I LOL'd.

I don't think that I've listened to anything of Ed Sheeran's (intentionally, anyway), but he was in Game of Thrones so I'm not completely unacquainted with him.

I'd make a joke, but consider Jeph's username on Bluesky at one point referenced Meshuggah, I can't say I don't see his point. :P

This is just my attempt to figure out why Gremlizabeth's rash extends to her prosthetic arms. Asssume that the outer support for those arms is a mirofiber mesh into which her skin cells were implanted. It wouldn't take much for them to grow, giving her arms a totally human look and feel, and if the neuroscience was there, even normal human sensation. Such as itching.

Mid is the mix you use for tiny little speakers

Just when you think Moray is all sunshine and unicorn farts, she tries to drag you down into her slime box... (If she tries it with me, do NOT rescue. Ok?)

Most of Ed Sheeran's work that I've heard has been mid, but Don't is a banger

Aw, Marten's making fun of musicians again, that's how you know he's thriving

He's only allowed to use the #3 grandpa mug because #1 was already claimed. Marten knows when he's outmatched. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5268 (No word yet on who took the #2 slot. My bet is on Melon)

Hey! Ed Sheeran is perfectly mid!

Marten you're trying to have Faye banter with the anti-Faye.

I just realized that Liz's arms are also red from the allergic reaction. That raises interesting implications.

🎵 When she insists that you Try a skin test with goo That's a Moray!

When you itch from her gel But acoustics are swell That's A Moray!

A Capella Science: “The molecular shape of you”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8FAJXPBdOg&list=RDf8FAJXPBdOg&start_radio=1 I’m so out of it I learn about popular music through A Capella Science parodies.

A hagfish. The comic is funny, but that line!! 😂

_cue A Capella Science, "The Molecular Shape of You"_

So many good expressions, Jeph has really been nailing em to really make the humor hit

First hipster music reffrence in a while

Don't be rash

I love Moray's grumpy face in the last panel.

.🎶 ..And I'm in slime, Up to my eyebrows, And I see slime, Burniing my skin, And I feel sli- eye- eye-eye-eim, Inside every pore of me, It hurts like hell, God, Why did I climb in.... Now I feel fire, burning my eyeballs And I feel fire, That Turns my skin red, I feel on fi- eye -eye-eye eye-ire, I'm running and screaming Find me a vat, Of calomine instead.... ...otherwise I just might end up dead... Dum de dum de dah de du-dum... Guitar pluck/mute/strum.... 🎸 And if this should end in fire... Then we can all burn together....

I wonder what the shear(an) modulus is for Moray's Goo?

Technically, goo is a better conductor of sound than air, so…

Wait why are Liz’s arms reacting?

You could absolutely make a #3 grandpa mug which I wouldn’t actually buy because my kitchen cannot support any additional mugs

Gradually watermelon Gradually watermelon Gradually watermelon Every day I find some new railway I like shapes

The Shape of Water.

I have no opinion on Ed Sheeran.

The Shape of Goo

Say what you will about Ed Sheeran, when he dressed up in the sumo suit was funny.

I also think everyone should have that experience

#*3* grandpa???

We found slime right where we are

#3 Is a tough rank when most people average about 2 grandpas

Poor gremlin

Wait, Jeph making a pop music joke? What is this, 1999?
