Thanks! The things we learn by doing "research" on the Intertubes!
Thank you so much Crimson Barrel
Just to let you know, should be “I’m a pagliaccio” Pagliacci is “clowns”. Italian for dummies pillow ends here
It's from a pretty famous joke, it was quoted by Rorschach in The Watchmen: ""Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains." So in this context, Pagliacci is a name. If you're going to go around the internet correcting people, you should make sure you know what they're talking about, friendo.
Change the first one to "You going' to Gargle Town?"
Two new shirts: "Gargle up!" and "Put a clown nose on it!"
I recently started a reread from the beginning, and Sven *definitely* looks younger now than he did on his first appearance. Of course, he's only a year older than Dora, so maybe it's all due to the attitude change.
Dora looks younger, too. Art shift.
i want May to be gay for Melon, but these two assholes could probably make for some fun friends.
why be gay when you can be bi?? multiplies your opportunities. they could even get all poly about it.
At this point, I think May could either end up with Sven or Winslow(if he ever comes back). I’d be down with either ship. With that said, this was a good first meeting.
Anonymous lady in the final panel, you don't know as much as 10% of it!
Sven Bianchi, Clown Prince of Sex... Which was already predicted, kinda: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1195
Please, like Sven needs to wait an hour if he wants to get his dick laughed at.
Great Watchmen reference!
jeph. jeph i am fucking cackling. you made me cackle.
The hat say Looby?
I'm happy with this exchange. I'll be pleased whether they do or don't
So much sass
May Lannister still slaying dreams I see
AND THEN THEY FUCKED
I totally called it. They are so going to boff
Now you know why Walgreens has red nose day.
does she have a clown car, then?
Nice inclusion of Clown Nose Day, man.
Maaaaaan deep pull on the Pagliacci reference
What. How. Damnit, Jeph. You had to go and make this dark horse of a ship make sense........stellar as always. Thank you, Jeph.
FML, I ship it
All aboard!
... Sven and May are totally going to end up dating, aren't they. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this.
Fucking, maybe. Dating's clearly out at this point, though I guess things could change.
May is probably being serious.
This is someone who was excited to get a job jacking off animals, and her chief complaint of her current body seemed to be that her hand joints were all pinchy, making it unpleasant for anybody she tried to jack off. Of course she's serious.
DO NOT MAKE ME SHIP THIS
I ship it more than any of his past relationships! We all knew he and Faye were a bad idea!
Did Sven ever have Smurf fantasies? Seems like...
Make em laugh?
Oh no
(I sense fanfic on the way) --N
Maybe Jeph will follow his rival Dave Willis' example and do a Slipshine?
So those two passers-by are definitely some friends of Jeph's, right?
Gotta be. --N
MAAAAAY ❤
I've been trying to remember the name of that goddamn clown for weeks, thank you Jeph
The weird thing is how much sense this conversation makes in context.
Well, they each seem to have made a friend.
Two quid that there's a post-coital scene where the two of them are EXTREMELY happy with the end results. :)
That would be A M A Z I N G !!
big mood
