Aww, that's pretty sweet. Yay Emily.
Emily has been touched by Their Noodly Appendage.
Who doesn’t want head pats…
I feel like if Moray got head pats too, she would just be reabsorbed
'Slurm' is an ... INTERESTING ... choice of sound effect for the extension of a moist tentacle https://static1.colliderimages.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/futuramafryandtheslurmfactory.jpg
That is exactly where my mind went.
I was hoping the subject of knowing Yay would come up
It's possible that Moray might mention it, since she met Yay first and gave them The Director's message.
Yeah legit ngl the director seems like theyd adore emily
Hoping for a sweater that fits over the tentacles, it's chilly in the lightless ocean depths.
Panels 5 and 6 would both make great reaction images in differing circumstances :) also, I think Moray's next line is "Jail for Director, jail for 1000 years"
I like your shoelaces.
I'm not much for shipping (except for comedic purposes), but the impromptu headpat, shortly after Emily offered to "look after" Moray, kinda gives me an old-fashioned "father giving his blessing to his daughter's relationship" vibe... Could it be that the Director is shipping Emiray?
The Moray/Liz/Emily throuple name shall be Morlizzy, obviously :)
The Director has excellent taste
Like blue jello but with just a hint of sea salt, I imagine.
Emily was born to be part of Cube Town
So unfair. Noone reacts like that when I leave my residue in their hair as a 40+ cis het white male. Instead they call police.
Maybe it's the bioluminescence that makes the difference. Have you tried making your residue glow?
Am happy. Emily belongs there now. Am intrigued if “Dad” imparted gifts.
Since Cubetown uses a nonstandard WiFi she'll be able to get the Internet without her phone, straight into her brain. I can't decide if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
A good thing, if you ask Station. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2125
How I wish that were me :(
Pros: Emotional validation by the Director of Cubetown. Cons: Emily's hair will get dimmer over time, but never fully stop glowing.
I feel like Emily will see that as two pros.
The Director likes her. That means she is just the right degree of crazy to fit in at Cubetown.
Claire called it.
Well, Emily is never leaving.
On today's episode of "You Can't Do That in a Comic Strip," Emily says, "I don't know."
This reminds me, I should read some Lovecraft.
Cthulhingus.
When you stand by the vats, For Director headpats That's Emi-lay...
I figured Emily would eventually find her way to Cubetown. Someday she'll be prime minister.
Given that my own name is Emily and I *live* for headpats… this strip made me smile, and possibly blush a little bit. :-)
By the way, I KNOW that Slurm isn't a real word, but I'm gonna start using it all the time now. Kind of slurmy, don't you think? :)
Onomatope. If it approximates a sound, it's a real word. English grammar teachers, fight me.
And now -I- wanna go play with railguns.
same
She fits perfectly in cubetown
Humans make such nice pets.
My cats think so!
Emily will now and forever be known as "Pat-pat".
Which has really annoyed Patrick P. Patrick over in the Advanced Alliterative Appellations research group.
It would be the best day in my life, too
SLURM
It's highly addictive!
head pats are for kids that visit
Also, it's possible that a headpat would trigger the reabsorption.
Cubetown has railguns too? Think Station and Cubetown ever have skeet shooting contests?
Station and the Director primarily communicate by putting notes in those old pneumatic message canisters, loading them in their respective rail guns and firing them at each other. They also exchanged email addresses, but where's the fun in that?
Poor Mooby!
No one tell her that the slime hair colouring is permanent
Bioluminescent highlights are all the rage in Cubetown right now.
When the goo you begat Wants a gloopy headpat That's A Moray!
That’s A Moray!
Love the Futurama nod. Slurm is highly addictive, you know?
moray is officially progeny and not an extension
Man, this sequel to _Arrival_ has the craziest stuff!
Tentacular Headpattery! I’m glad the Director is also a fan of Emily
Tentacular Headpattery is my new Tentacular Depravity cover band. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5268
Best day of her life, *so far*..
Next she gets to play with railguns! :D
Slurm! Is the word of the day. Use it in a sentence today.
Fry drank a lot of Slurm
The special shampoo to get that goop out of her hair is available from the gift shop, which is on your left as you exit.
Emily: "Where's the special shampoo to keep it from ever washing out?"
I'd like to make a joke about the anime "A Certain Scientific Railgun", except I have only the vaguest idea of what it is about. (Cute girls with electrical powers, I think.)
It's also the working title of Station's autobiography.
Good to see that Station isn't the only AI who can dispense orbital railgun justice when needed.
Well...orbital would still be just station.
I’m guessing the bit of goo left on Emily’s head would improve Moray’s ability to play an instrument by 42% or something.
Any old instrument? Because I'm thinking "theremin" and would be disappointed if many of us aren't.
When Dad bless Em But not his own kin … that’s a Moray!
When the guest gets a pat And you're jealous of that …that's a Moray!
Whimmy wham-wham wozzle!
I also came here to say this
This feels like Jeph is playing a game of hentai chicken.
Slurm? Slurm?!
It’s better than PBS Pro. Jeph knows his cluster scheduling software! 😁
The rash will clear up in a day or so. 10 weeks tops.
Emily will never wash her hair again
What does the forbidden goop taste like?
Fairy bread without the bread.
