Hold On Loosely

I feel like Oglaf-vision is how Pintsize sees the everything.
Pintsize ghostwrites Oglaf
Marigold's imaginary Emily's pose in that third panel is painful to look at. I'm going to have to call a chiropractor.
I've just noticed Emily's shirt says "Stoats". I imagine that it's likely for a fictional band in the QC universe, but Emily bought it to just show general stoat appreciation.
They're fuzzy? :)
The thing I love most about the two Oglaf-vision panels is that Emily and Dale don't actually look that different, it's all about the body language. Oh, and the terrible dialogue of course.
Well, Dale doesn't look that different at least. Emily is a few rounds of entirely unnecessary plastic surgery away from looking like Marigold's mental image of her.
It was only on my third viewing that I noticed the SPECIAL in OGLAFverse.
"Hold On Loose Leaf"
I keep forgetting that Dale has eyes...
TODAY'S SPECIAL: FUCKIN'
Between Marigold and Elliot there’s some crazy vivid imaginations around here...
Do we know if Marigold is attracted to women any? She may be imagining Emily that way because she's attracted to her.
I doubt it. She’s probably just read way too much lemon fanfiction and/or watched way too much cheesy porn.
Anybody else think that Marigold may be picking up Hamner's shifts?
Marigold doesn't work at CoD; she's a self-employed web-mistress and technology fixer.
LOVE the Oglaf reference! :)
It's not just Oglaf-colored, the style is similar and very 'sexy' :
Liked on the strength of the Oglaf reference :3
Hmm, I wonder if this is what Jeph talked about <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/960920603925630976" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/960955304572747777" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/963121009170796546" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.
Marigold was doing so well, too. After the <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1630" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">incident</a> <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1631" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">with</a> <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1632" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Angus</a> (prior to him hooking up with Faye), she did not recover well from that. She's always had boy issues, and the crushing depression that accompanies unrequited love (as well as the other crushing depression of Not Being Good Enough). That sort of shit feeling, whatever it may stem from, never goes away. Marbear, please, you can trust Dale. He's a good person. And he will be there for you.
He's put up lineart of an annoyed May. So, yes, I do think that we're going to have characters lining up to try to slap Marigold down with the clue-hammer whilst she persists in claiming that, because she has self-image problems, everyone else must think she's ugly too.
Yes, I'll have today's special please
This whole thing makes so much sense when you consider it's Marigold. She's never held herself up as anything special and so it is obvious to her that Dale would prefer someone else. Notice how she turns Emily from 'tall and gangly' to 'curvy vixen' in her head to back up her paranoid fantasy!
Yeah, I thought Marigold was jealous but... WOW! Is that what the world is like inside her head? Basically, it looks like a poorly-written fanfic which, when I think about it, is EXACTLY how I think Marigold's imagination works!
This is what happens when you watch too much anime.
That whale tail.
Can we take a moment to appreciate that both Dale and Emily have not only noticed something is now off with Marigold, but are verbally checking on her? The drama is probably coming anyway, but the fact that they’re both so attentive may help smooth things out faster...you know, if Marigold actually admits to her insecurities and is willing is talk it out instead of just imploding.
...I don't want dick latte ;-(
Cocachino?
This is not the funtimes ship I was hoping for last week :(
oh marigold no
(I assume this is the cheesecake we were promised.)
I love the Oglaf reference
Marigold needs some inverse-anime glasses to remind her real life is (usually) different.
and now I have 38 Special stuck in my head
to clarify, the band, not the bullet
Wow, Emily sure obtained a lot of, ehem, "plot" and "backstory" in Marigold's little delusion.
Ah the pink mist of jealousy....
I love the stereotypical awful comic book boobs'n'butt "oops, I've broken my spine and pureed all my internal organs" pose here. It is perfect for the paranoid fantasy.
Rob Liefeld is very proud, right now.
Oglaf FTW!
Oh god I love the art in those two panels.
RIP in Peace Dream Emily's animespine in panel 3. (Also, Today's Special: fuckin')
Animespine. That’s perfect.
But don't let go-o-o!
Oops, now I'm shipping Emily with Dale AND Marigold
Damilgold? Marimile? Emigole?
the specials board is a great touch.
what drugs Marigold Taking to make her think Emily would wear lipstick or talk like that?
It's a bright green little pill.
Oglaf!!
Dammit, Marigold! Stop being so jealous! No one is trying to steal Dale from you!
I think Dale is her first real boyfriend, right? And she's pretty awkward socially, anyway, so it's not unreasonable that she's having these thoughts. She'll get there.
And new meaning is given to the term 'coffee grinding'...
Mmm, dick lattes. My favorite.
Well yeah, when they’re made by a really annoying barista, sure :)
Lol, I feel like Marigold has seen nothing but the cheesiest of porn.
But look how much Dale cares, he turned off his AR glasses.
Marigold still makes the best faces
Love Oglaf!!! It’s my second favorite webcomic.
