Get Them Outta There

Make about 12 cups (I don't remember the ideal number), half pre-ground, half fresh-ground, keep them identified under the cups but not in a way you can see when testing. If you can separate them based on the coffee itself, there's a noticeable impact. If you can't, it's not important
A lab I worked in had an A1 print on the wall of British Rail tea-making specifications. This was not for in-service use, this was the exact, precise tea used for crash testing during coach development in the 70s. Milk, one sugar, if memory serves - and a very precise steeping time.
"the blind leading the double blind" really tickled me.
Marten really handled that well. He is, after managing her for a semester, an expert at Emily-wrangling.
Martin is such a good dad. ~<3
Also, can’t wait for the Emily x Director encounter. Will she give them a sweater?
That will require a lot of knitting.
LOVE Liz's expression in the last panel.
This may be my favorite caption ever.
”The blind leading the double blind” is a hilarious pun imo. Bravo! 🤣🤣
Liz has exactly the kind of theoretical-physicist-energy of someone who knows nothing about experiments.
That pun in the footer is horribly hilarious and I chuckled a groan.
it is amazing and terrible
I have just realize that the voice in my head when I read Liz is Kate Micucci.
Yes! Perfect!
Marten's good energy in this scene gives me life.
I've done a lot of testing! The fact that I was the subject of that testing is irrelevant.
Ditto, I spent 20 years as a laboratory animal. I love conducting science!
Ah, yes, there's the gremlin we know and love
Liz's eyes in the last panel are not that different from those of Sir Grinds A Lot.
I literally played a rim shot on my desk when I read the tagline. I can't even drum.
Best part of today's strip for sure, and it's a great strip, too.
Marten's a good dad
Now he's got her attention!
It's okay Marten, the scientific method doesn't apply to you anyway. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5557
The scientific method does apply to Marten UNLESS he's trying to play a gremlin sonata. :P
They need test tubes for this scientific taste test: Taste Test Tubes!
Eat the vial.
I do like the options on the menu; Big, Small
He does have medium cups, but they are only available to Unobtanium-tier members of the Preferred Customers Club. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5546
What is the official name for subscripts like the one in the bottom right? Subscript? Anywho, today's was amazeballs. (Which weirdly is a word in my spellcheck)
I think of them as captions 🤷🏻♂️ re: today's, hard agree
Dad Mode Activated
I’d argue that’s less “dad” energy and more “older brother” energy. Only because Liz’s response was very “younger sister” in nature. Source: I have a younger sister.
Ah, the chance to br a science snob. Dr Applebloom is happy again.
The Scientific Method is grossly over-rated.
Typically by non-scientists, and actively fought against by the modern crowd of tin foil bozos, who are all the bus
I wonder if any of the Morays had tentacles.
Probably. Depending on your taste in… Questionable Content.
To be a successful Chill Whisperer, you must know people’s love languages, even gremlin’s.
When you're like I.A.C. But more tentacl-ey That's A Moray!
When you call I.R.B. Before you try the coffee, That's a Moray!
Last panel Liz face tells me Liz might have a fetish for dominating in scientific contexts
If you’re good at something, it feels good to be the best at something among a given group. I’m a machinist. By no means the best out there. But, definitely the best (the only) one at my job. And I get drunk with power every time something needs to be made with any real precision.
When your candidate wants to greet The hentai who leads … that’s a Moray!
I love that Marten is looking out for Liz like this. It's so sweet
Marten is a good dad.
Oh, good. Gremlizabeth is gonna survive! Marten might not, but she will. :)
Listen. Friendship is magic and I cherish healthy platonic relationships like this in comics PLEASE can Marten make a polycule with Liz they're great for each other and I'm starving for more good poly rep xD
Given Marten's relationship to the Librarian, this would be an inexcusable power imbalance and unquestionably qualify as sexual harassment, consent or no consent. Absolutely not.
Where will they get the Control Gremlin?
Calling Dr. Newfriend. Calling Dr. Newfriend. Yay, you're needed in Cubetown! And yes, I KNOW that Yay considers themselves to be an imp, but I consider them to be a Gremlin, so there. :P
I'm looking forward to that too (although I have a feeling it'll happen offscreen for, like, pacing and shit 🥺)
No, the double blind experiment is the one in which Liz got both of them completely drunk.
Double blind experiment: Marten: "Mmmm, warm and brown. This is a winner!" Liz: "Yecccch! Is this made out of topsoil?"
Mmmm...peat in coffee...mmmm...
S-tier pun
"Our director is nice and has tentacles!" might mean something very different to Emily than to Marigold. (Then again, I don't know exactly all the kinds of hentai Marigold is into.)
everyone can choose how to enjoy tentacles their own way?
“The blind leading the double blind” 🧑🍳💋
There have been a lot of great lines in the bottom text over the years, but this is gold tier clever.
Martin is good people.
look, enthusiasm for science! Liz you can do it!
Liz is the best gremlin…
Martin is a good older brother
gremlin
Very siblings vibe
Yeah, but if Liz starts wearing anything labeled "Teh" I'm outa here.
