God bless Canadian Tire.
Next week: Steve tests out pouring 6% Canadian milk over his Cheerios in hopes the 6% milk does not give him superpowers or lactose intolerance.
I have many Japanese American friends and Jeph's drawing of the flushed cheeks is extremely accurate.
The wonders of the alcohol dehydrogenase enzyme.
Amazing how easily that one person's drinking quickly becomes everybody else's problem.
Cube town having a Canadian Tire makes it a very excellent destination. It feels complete now somehow.
Canadian Tire? Could you explain for a non-Canadian?
Where is the Zlantenna?
It has developed, becoming integrated.
Would it be easier to just pint a note stating “This cabinet is already open”?
Oh no with Emily as an accomplice now Liz has the ability to reach high shelves. Now no obstacle can overcome her.
I don’t think I like this budding “Liz Copes With Her Struggles With ALCOHOLISM~” arc building.
Currently she's failing to achieve alcoholism because she doesn't actually drink most of the alcohol, and now Emily is here to distract her with other weirdness.
Well, at least Liz and Emily seem to have resolved their initial getting-off-on-the-wrong-foot with each other. So there's that.
Liz and Emily have never looked cuter I could DIE
Please don't die, FC!
You know they're drunk when you're first thought is that childproof latches would probably *work.* :)
I, a grown adult, once had such a bad experience with a "childproof" bottle cap that I resorted to a breadknife, turns out plastic bottles are generally weak against breadknife so long as you don't mind never being able to close them again.
"Knock knock." "Who's there." "Trouble." "Trouble who?" "Make it double."
Team Gremlin blasting off at the speed of light!
Gremily?
Claire, do you really think a childproof lock is going to dissuade EMILY, of all people?
I expect that they would work fairly well, so long as she puts them on a nearby harmless cabinet door as a distraction, rather than on the door she wants to keep latched.
Congratz to Claire and Marten on their newly adopted daughter EMILY!
Goblin Adopters Group Chat on tenterhooks for news
Dammit, now I REALLY want a Cubetown brand 3D printer.
I already find 3D printing to be a tiresome experience. I shudder to think what it would be like if the printer was sentient.
Childproof latches? There ain't no such thing, Claire.
Can confirm. I have a very clever nephew. He’s only a year old and much faster/smarter than you would expect. I love him. But, he’s a menace.
I’m amused probably more than I should be that the phrase “get some childproof latches printed” would have been nonsensical in the real world not that long ago and now is essentially an everyday thing.
Only then did The Librarian realize the full gravity of her actions. Liz's inability to reach high shelves was the only thing limiting her threat to society. By teaming her up with Emily she inadvertently unleashed a wave of pure gremlinosity that can never be contained. And so began the final days of humanity.
Now I want pizza
Marten is on top of the situation.
Again, girlfriends in the making.
You know, I might be wrong, but I don’t think there are any (official) polycules in QC. Unless you count Roko/Yay.
I feel like a childproof latch would not stop Emily. Drunk Emily might solve it faster than if there were no latches at all.
But then she'd sit there distractedly fidgeting with it until she'd found half a dozen ways to optimize it. (and Liz would still be short, so the scotch would be safe...)
The Halfing and the Elf getting blasted!
But enough about your Lord of the Rings fanfic, what did you think of the comic?
Comment from previous post holds true - suspect the gremlin & her new buddy will be humming the rice cooker song & giggling soon.
Cubetown-style pizza: surprisingly two-dimensional
But each slice is a Mobius strip.
Between Emily's height and theoretical abilities and Liz's goblinicity, is "childproof" going to secure anything?
Zlata, it's for The Greater Good [echoing voices: The Greater Good]
Now they have a Smol Goblin and a Tol Goblin and they should call Emmett's mom for advice.
Indeed. Pizza.
I finished the Subnautica 2 content so I'm just imagining another room in cubetown where a bunch of fabricators just spun up to print XD
Oh, hey, I've printed some of those.
That’s a Whole Zlata Wastefulness.
*ba dum tss
now i wonder what the worlds fastest 3d printer is
Those poor, wasted beers. At least Marten is pouring one out for each of them.
They're only Bolsons. Lager is basically water anyway
There's a model on Printables that would take about 45 minutes on my printer. I suspect the scotch would be long gone by then. Hopefully Cubetown has faster machines than that. In the meantime, Marten can sit on top of the fridge, running interference.

I have a mother-in-law like that but with coffee instead of beer
When my grandmother was in her mid 90s or so, she was still having a glass of wine with dinner every day. Since she weighed about 90 pounds soaking wet her kids were concerned for her safety, so one day her son poured half the bottle down the sink and filled it with water. Next day he found the watered bottle pushed to the back of the shelf and a new bottle in front of it. They gave up and let her have it. She lived to be 102.
Childproofing is easy compared to goblinproofing.
Goblinproofing and gremlinproofing are very difficult, yes, but nowhere near geniusproofing. Stopping a drunk Emily from getting into...well, anything...is a tricky process indeed.
3-D PRINTED PIZZA Oh, wait, no...
I.e., the stuff they have at CiCi's pizza.
duct tape works
Only if you use it to stick Emily and Liz to the wall Pintsize-style.
Wait, I thought Canadian Tire was open every day except Canada Day (which is next week)?
You're off by a month. Canada Day is July 1.
Does Canadian Tire even have a Cubetown branch?
If not, there's probably a Shopper's Drug Mart.
