What am I? .... A BIRDHOUSE! GET IT?
should'nt the door be open in this scene?
If it closes automatically - as is often the case in commercial buildings - then no. It would have already closed behind Pintsize before panel 1 (don't ask how he opens doors - that ranks right up with how he holds things with his little orb hands), and then closed again behind Melon. You just don't see when it's open because you only get to see still frames, not video.
Is Melon also an excon? Her body is very similar to Mays and she also has an extreme personality like May. Its just Melons extreme is a lack of common sense.
Bird College is a real thing in the QC universe, isn't it?
C'mon guys, it's not his son... it's his lover. Pintsize likes some freaky shit.
Odds that Anthony Jones is actually Pintsize's daughter? Any takers?
I’m intreged by your offer and would like to subscribe to your newsgroup.
Has Melon ever met Emily, and could the universe stand it if they did meet?
Yes, they did. Only Melon has died, Universe stood strong. <a href="https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3728" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3728</a>
If you aren't conscious of fear of vulnerability, you are either suppressing it or are fearless. All fear is fear of vulnerability. Also, although one can never be entirely sure about repressed feelings and motives, if someone says something to you and you find yourself weeping unexpectedly, it is a sign that something or other is going on that you don't know about. If one reads symbolically, Anthony Jones is Pintsize's utterance on the subject of his vulnerability, and is as unintelligible and alien to him as to anyone else. Jones does stand in much the same relationship to Pintsize as a child would: of him and in some way his, but not in any way part of him. I have no idea whether the comic can sustain being read symbolically. Probably not. It will be interesting to see. I don't think Melon has ever shown a moment of unkindness, anger, or resentment. She is shaping up into a kind of holy fool, like in the Thoth tarot deck, or Tolkein's Tom Bombadil, or Tolstoy's island hermits so foolish that they have to be taught to pray and who then come running across the water after the bishop's boat because they forgot the words.
May/Pintsize?! Maysize!
And then Anthony Jones can go on a study abroad trip and meet City Face.
Oh my gawd, I just thought of something...what if Anthony Jones has been the SAME pigeon all along?! The intensified capsaicin pigeon? the previous pigeon that was pooping in Pintsize? What if Anthony has been a recurring character for years and only now has been given a name? Soon it will be revealed that he was instrumental in behind-the-scenes manipulations of the entire cast and is in fact, the OverPigeon!
Nah, no need to take action, Pintsize. I've got the feeling that Melon has found a pet that is going to bring a previously-unknown level of joy into her life. The bird is going to be quite happy with the free food and roost and Melon is going to get back the joy of association; they'll both benefit. Oh, and May? No-one is fooled by you not having any 'sick burns'. Your nice side is showing, girl!
Jeph, I think you accidentally used Melon's skin color on May in the last panel
Nah, they just morphed together. That's a thing they can do.
May is being supportive. In a very May way
She is supporting the wall very effectively!
It looks like Anthony Jones is enjoying dancing with Melon.
I love how it feels like he's doing jazz hands with his wings
DROID 06 ATTENDED MT. HOLYOKE
"But....the Pidge is not my son" #tbc
She was more like a tuft of green from a forest scene I said, “Don’t mind, but what to do you mean, I am the one Who will share all his shit in the round?” She said I am the one who will share all his shit in the round
Hmmmm.... perhaps Anthony Jones is the physical manifestation of Pintsize’s emotional metamorphosis???......
Pintsize is on Double-Secret Probation.
Could enroll him in pigeon high school, maybe the one feral human would flirt with him...
Should I be scared at how quickly Anthony Jones & Melon has bonded?
It will last until Anthony mistakes Melon for a statue.
Wow, Bubbles really got to him. Also, Anthony Jones is a pigeon but I think he’d make a great Blackbird at LIU.
HI!
And thus endeth The Week Without Faybles.
"He could probably get into Hampshire" XD Omg I'm dying. I'm a recent grad of Hampshire and former Admissions employee and I'm here to tell you that if the bird can sit though an interview without saying anything overtly horrifying and Pintsize writes a good recommendation letter, he's golden.
I like Melon’s culottes/flats combo.
By the way, I was right about Bubbles's devastating weaponized monologue having a permanent effect on Pintsize. He will never be quite the same.
Beauty of it is that we will never be too sure about his real motivations - it still all could be one long and elaborate shenanigan on the Pintsize's side.
BUT THE BIRD IS NOT MY SON
I can’t help but sing this.
Hey Jeph I think this was unintentional, but in the last panel you used Melons skin tone on May.
I was noticing the same thing.
Huh. I'm loving the tension created by Pintsize's extended performative layering. You never know when he's reached the base reality.
I think the epitome of this would be Gollum/Smeagol dialogue between two parts of his psyche, which Marten would accidentally witness, and we still wouldn't be sure was it real or just performance.
YOU DENY IT PINTSIZE, BUT YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN YOU LOVE HIM AND WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR YOUR BIRD SON!
Nah, he''s too much of a bird-on. :)
Melon is so damned weird
