"I have a flawless poker face" ... yeah it's in the lair next to your power suit
Wait did Liz cause all those explosions?
Yes and no... I mean, it really depends on *which* explosions.
Every single interaction between Marten and Liz makes me think about this https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5672 and it makes me uncomfortable.
Oh, Liz….
theeese dooooorks
Next week: Melon brings her collection of living arthropods to Roko and Yay. Both end up in the broom closet for the next three hours. Romance ensures.
Can't read her, can't read her, no he can't read her poker face (he's got her like nobody)
Emily is going to pick Liz and walk around with her on her shoulders when they meet. Liz will not convincingly object.
There's a reason why Canadians like a "double-double". But I don't know it. Personally, I take mine with no sugar and some homo (tee-hee) milk. (Some people think that Canadianism is funny.
Liz your gremlin is showing. ~<3
Stop, Liz. You're sweet enough! 😂
Lotta sugar there, Liz.
Liz & Emily will bond. They’re blessed with not having to worry about how cruel gravity is. I don’t know if this will be rough on Evan or not.
😂🤦♀️☕
Liz, you won't be able to be all jealous of Emily; she's a total sweetheart.
I also like a lot of sugar in my coffee.
Looks more like she'll be having coffee in her sugar...
I’ll have you know that there exist quantified sugar casters called “Süßer Heinrich” (German for “Sweet Henry”) ☕️🧑🔬 Scientific Method saved yay! 🙌 — but yes, rather looks like Sugar Mountain Coffee (tm) what’s happening here ☕️🏔️💀
she just likes 20 sugars in her coffee, she's not bothered at all
Liz has no filter, does she? 🤣
Not even for her coffee! 😬
Martin's last line really made me laugh. 😂 23 years later and he's still gets all the best punchlines 😎 I think its due to his chill -- emotional stability is always a great foil for the emotional extremes of everyone around him. He's the ultimate 'straight man' in a way: having him in the room makes everything else funny.
awwwww, babygirl
Welp -- there goes the scientific method. Shame on you Liz - you *never* add unquantified amounts of ANYTHING to an initial test batch 😂😂 Then again, maybe that's how she *always* takes her sugar (ie: with one drip or two)
It's fine as long as she adds the same amount to both. Precisely one "all of it".
Maybe Liz's arms run on glucose, like another semi-robotic science goblin.
(which would help explain them turning red when she reacts allergically to the goo :-)
Normally she takes her coffee black. Wind her up and her inner gremlin administers a fatal dose.
🎵 No coffee tonight! (In my sugar) No coffee tonight! (In my cup)
Applause!
Well, at least it's caffeine free.
Due to an unfortunate mixup, Marten accidentally received a shipment of Caffeinated Sugar™, the very latest development from the Experimental Flavours Department.
weeeee, sugar go brrrrrrrrrrr
It's just force of habit. She got used to adding that much sugar because it's the only way to make Tom Horbons One Dollar Can-O-Beans™ coffee palatable. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4979
It's "legally coffee"! Says so right on the can!
I’m reminded of the scene in the new Superman where Lois Lane just keeps adding sugar to her coffee
Eh... the Dirty Harry movies did it first. 😊😊
Is a side-eye that's directed away from someone still called a side-eye, or something else?
Gaze avoidance or gaze aversion, at least in the context of ASD. Which probably does apply in Liz's case, to be honest.
Maybe Liz is planning to make simple syrup?
Simple things aren't allowed in Cubetown. She's making ridiculously overcomplicated syrup.
I do actually like to put my addins in the cup first mixes better
That is how I prefer my coffee.
There is no coffee in that cup. So we are gonna see a straight sugar rush gremlin. GREMLIZABETH IS SWEET!!!!!
There's clearly no coffee in that cup she's just filling it with sugar
Liz came over to borrow a cup of sugar. Neighbor-like!
Oh, yeah, just what we need: Liz on sugar AND caffeine. Well, we haven't seen true Gremlin Mode for a while. Bring it!
No coffee in that cup. (As per Jeph, that coffee mug was empty.) So true SWEET Gremlin Mode!!!!!! (Multiple exclamation points are the hallmark of an unhinged mind? Who, me? *BWAHAHAHAHAHA*)
Puh puh puh poker face. Puh puh *checks notes* poker face.
Lady Gobgob.
Sugarrrrr
Reminds me, I need some tea in my sugar cup.
Liz isn't some tsundere, you baka!
You forgot to mention "delightful." For goodness' sake, nobody tell her about Emily getting patted by The Director!
Not gonna lie Liz, she is taller than you
Everyone over 9 years old that isn't a dwarf or a double leg amputee is taller than she is.
"I like my sugar with coffee and cream" ass pour lmao
Thank you, Ad-Rock.
Great rejoinder to anyone who makes that claim. I don’t need it often these days but wish I had that come back a few decades ago. Didn’t come up with anything that good.
Can we ship Liz and Emily as a calamity relationship that shouldn't work but does?
What’s Emily’s calamity?
Liz is gonna add a few spoonfuls of coffee to her mug of sugar.
And maybe a little milk (or other non-dairy alternative) and/or water, otherwise it's just miscellaneous granules.
Too late, you fed the gremlin, you can't get rid of her now.
Not enough sugar, Liz. I presume that’s sugar, because if it’s Splenda then Marten is more of a coffee novice than I thought.
Using splenda means you're a coffee novice?
She's projecting. And it's not even cold in here. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5392
"woob woob"
it's salt
if it were Coffee of Doom i wouldn't put it past them to have a sugar-pouring jar filled with salt, but this is Marten's place we're in
Want some coffee with your sugar? HAR HAR HAR
Sugar goblin
