Dale how COULD YOU

The reptile eyes in Panel 2 are charming.
I assume May is just using "I swear to god" as a figure of speech, but I wonder what religious people in the QC universe think about AIs
Remember the conversation between Melon and the priest? At least a few of them think of AI as just a new kind of person, as fully deserving of God's grace and neighborly treatment as anyone.
May looks very professional in her new clothes
Curse your sudden-but-inevitable betrayal!
Mine is an evil laugh! Now die!
He's Alliance. Of Course he's treacherous. Just like all the rest of us. ;)
Certified goblin-face spotted in panel 2.
I love Marigoblin.
It's talking about how you want to love her that got you that ban
HORDE SCUM!
Thus begins the civil war in the WOW guild. Dale Jennnkiiiiinnnns
THIS IS A WUG
"You knew I was a Rogue when you met me" - updated monk/scorpion tale for the internet age.
It’s actually better for May not to know, that way the study is double-blind. The only part missing, then, was to tell Claire to mark the two with signs (say, 1 and 2) with random assignment (actually random as in a coin toss, otherwise human factors make it not unpredictable enough), and keep the correspondence at the Coffee of Doom so the results can be unblinded. Easy!
See this is my kind of comment. Science that shit up! 🤓
Hehe, nice one Dale.
Trusting Dale to do what she wants instead of what's good for her wellbeing was a risky move to begin with. She paid good money for that stab wound.
BETRAYAL
>:)
The smile on May's face there is WORTH my entire subscription price for this month.
Interesting factoid - apparently the National Dairy Council was attempting to block marketing the nut-based milk alternatives as 'oat milk', 'almond milk', etc. Someone proposed they should instead be called 'nut juice'. Then someone said this out loud, and, well, that ended that proposal. I'll admit, I have no proof of this - it could well be urban legend. But it's still a good story.
Never let lack of proof spoil a good urban legend, Alex. :)
Rogues gonna backstab.
I love that little Horde goblin, I'm glad that now she knows to never trust any Alliance scum ever again.
Gotta love May's triumphant smirk in the last panel!
Should have had the marks be distinctive but not useful in tracking which was which. For example, by marking them before finding out which was which. Of course, I feel like AIs tend to have a self-defeat algorithm to make them more like us. Now why do I have a self-defeat algorithm?
That's the human condition.
So that time she crop-dusted Hannelore it wasn't just a fart, but a lactose-intolerant fart? Those are some of the strongest of all farts!
Yelling Bird! I didn't recognize you talking in an inside voice!
Dale is perfect for Marigold
look who's callin' who a goblin there, treetop.
ohhh i didn't get that this was the whole idea, i have the dumb perhaps. I was not at all connecting it with Marigold, not even when she was pretending she didn't know the difference.
It's interesting that AI can forget in this fashion. Particularly in such a short period of time.
Bold of you to assume she was paying attention in the first place.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
Honestly oat milk would probably hurt me more.
she should have yelled "uragimono!!"
It's good that she demonstrated to Marigold that it really was her imagination
He's a rogue. Deception and backstabbing are his thing
And Marigold is flanked.
Dale gotta Dale.
May's face in that last panel is so friggin good, LMAO
You're a goblin, you're a goblin, you're a goblin - EVERYONE'S A GOBLIN!
Why am I really into May in this outfit?
I'll give you a couple guesses.
There's lactose free milk without resorting to milking grain and nuts, you know.
There are people who are allergic -real allergy, not nebulous orthorexia nervosa - to milk proteins
He knows what’s good for her.
The reflexive betrayal-hand gesture is perfect
Playing with fucking FIRE there Dale 👍
Weeeeell Mars & Dale had a good run, RIP in peace
Damn, that was beautifully done. Well played Dale, lmao
YOU GOBLIN
I do like how "goblin" is becoming an increasingly frequent insult in this comic. It's so versatile!
MAY'S FACE
May's face in that last panel is fucking priceless!
May's grin in that last panel is a thing sheer goblin delight
Someone just get Marigold some Lacteeze so she can drink real milk the way God intended!
From a human breast? 😅
May's grin in that last panel tho . o O (🤌)
I was about to mention that
They got you, Marigold. Dead to rights.
Dale 1, Goblin 0
I'm pretty sure they both have much higher scores than that. I mean, they've been together for how long?
Dale would also like there to be fewer lactose intolerant farts in the apartment.
Ooh, Dale pulled a Lloyd! Good for him.
My headcanon says Dale played Tales of Symphonia. I refuse to hear otherwise.
Someone's sleeping on the couch tonight
It’ll be Marigold.
