Dale should know who's more important to be supporting.
To be fair, he didn't exactly say "no".
I wonder if Dale is also a Patron of Smifsmutlesbrarian420's onlyfans.
That isn’t poggers at all, Dale!
I'd love to see a farcical scenario where they keep *almost* recognizing each other or getting recognized- like Mar going to the bathroom and Clinton or Claire dropping in but leaving again before she comes out, etc.
Marigold is going to disappear into Aurelia's Mom-Energy Singularity and regress even further into adolescence. What I can't wait to see, Aurelia explaining to Marigold's Mom what she and Marigold do. That would be a fascinating conversation.
Has Marigold's mom been mentioned at all? I can't recall. Explaining it all to her dad, though, might be interesting: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2198
I love May’s face in the last panel. 🤣
Anyone else worried that this is going to "out" Marigold? She was trying to keep her streaming a secret, right? Now she's meeting up with someone in the same town... I don't see that ending well for her secrecy.
I think she mostly doesn't want to be judged by people she knows. Meeting a fellow streamer who "gets it" seems like an otherwise safe social interaction. She is really worried about how this will go, but I thnk this is a positive development for Marigold. She was really shy and reserved when she was introduced, and now (on some level) she's trying out seeking social relationships on her own terms. Since no one knows who mommymilkers is, I don't think secrecy would be that much of a problem.
How much do you want to bet that Aurelia will mistake Marigold for the delivery agent when she does show up? (As for the cookies she’s planning, with her state of worry I’d be surprised if they did not meet some kind of accident)
Let's see... All I got on me is some pocket lent, a bent paperclip and a couple broken rubber bands. Put it all on red!
Where's Momo when she's needed
My idols shouldn't meet me! >:]
😂 (Same.)
This is how i felt about ed the sock, i kept avoiding meeting his actor or seeing him off screen cuz i didnt wanna break the kayfabe
If it helps, he's an asshole on Twitter
If Dale meets Mommy he might become a Milfmaid.
I'm trying to construct some terrible comedy routine for the next few strips, but I can't really think of anyone that connects the dots closely enough between Aurelia and Marigold to make that comedy happen.
How about this? Clinton can't stay, so Aurelia calls Claire, while Marigold calls Hanners for for moral support. But they get called in to CoD for some emergency and have to bail, so they both independently call Marten. Marten, being wishwashy, says yes to both and shows up, confused, at Chez Augustus. He, Marigold, and Aurelia stand there like Spiderman. The Aristocrats!
I foresee this reaching Marx Brothers-esque heights of farcical shenanigans, Love to see it.
Melon and Lemon doing the mirror scene?
I originally thought they were going to ask May and Yay to come along, but now I'm thinking either they're both going to invite Marten as a neutral party, or maybe Marten and Hannelore.
Things are gonna get REAL WEIRD when Clinton finds out that Elliot is a milkmaid.
So it’s Dale’s turn to be the virtual cinnamon roll. Good god.
Dale meeting Aurelia might be threatening to Marigold's relationship.
It is possible that Dale already knows Aurelia and simply hasn't made that connection to "Oh, uh, yeah. Uh, hi Aurelia. Uhm, this is gonna be awkward Mar, but before we met, there was this older woman....."
…Is it weird that Aurelia is only the second most awesome mum in this comic?
qc has big "i'd have two nickels" energy
Marten is totally going to end up involved here.
Of course, we all know it won’t ruin the magic. Aurelia has her own magic and it is amazing.
Ok, so whomever goes with her will end up knowing both of them in person but not know anything about their online personas (personae? personii?) or, better yet, know of them but not how they all relate, and it'll turn into a 'Spider-man pointing at Spider-man'-esque scene. And somehow either Yay or Pintsize will end up involved.
The Latinate plural is personae, bur regularizing it to personas won't upset most people. I think.
Does Marigold know Claire or Clinton? Perhaps she should ask them to go with her?
Having her bring Claire would be hilarious, but they haven't really interacted enough to make it justifiable. (Marigold has met both Augustus-spawn, but it's really only Hanners who bridges between this gang and the more Marten-adjacent cast.)
Until I meet people in person, I like to believe they look like their avatar. It's better not to break the illusion.
I promise I look exactly like mine, as long as we arrange to meet in Futurama.
Do not shun enlightenment, Dale
Fair
This is excellent and appropriate. Shame she's got to go into a stressful situation without support, though
It's said that you should never meet your heroes. You'll end up disappointed.
Speaking as someone who has met Neil Gaiman, Larry Niven, and Brandon Sanderson, and several astronauts: this is not always the case. I've never met our host, but Zach Weinersmith was super nice, and David Morgan-Mar once gave me a book.
I love that May is fully aware that she’s a chaos goblin
He's not wrong.
"Marten, can YOU come with me?" "Sure. Where are we going?"
