Boot! Boot?
Boot!
Aurelia and Marigold have each picked a code name in case a stranger tries to ID them. That name is Bleminda. "Oh, no I'm Bleminda" until she's sure the person is the one she's trying to meet. The thing is, there are already four real Blemindas at CofD.
It’s going to be so nice tomorrow when Aurelia goes over to introduce herself to Marigold, saying how she’s just a normal person and Marigold doesn’t need to be so nervous, but of course it’s nice for Aurelia to meet someone who’s obviously such a huge fan :) :) :)
I'm expecting Mar to test her theory by calling Aurelia.
I wonder how long it'll take her to realize that her fans wouldn't have known her name is Aurelia, but Marigold would.
She hasn't realised it was the name that did it yet :)
Is this the first time that the comic has referred to YouTube, ie a real world company? I know that Marvel/DC often make up their own equivalents (eg StarkStream or LexVid).
Claire is going to look pretty much exactly like Aurelia in about thirty years, which I think means that Marten has made the correct long term commitment and should probably put a ring on it :)
For all her talks about secrecy she really wants to meet her fans
I suspect the desire for anonymity juxtaposed with desire to be recognized and appreciated is pretty common amongst creators IRL.
What, no one is shipping Marigold and Aurelia yet?
The obvious ship in this comic is Claire x Chalkboard puns.
Milking this setup so hard, we’re going to need more udders
Cmon. MommyMilkers already has 4! Presumably BurgerOni as well. At the very least Marigold has two melons.
Aurelia is gonna adopt Marigold faster than anyone has ever been adopted, rip to Marigold's actual parents who seemed nice
They did? All I can remember is her dad demanding "Explain steampunk!"
"Beloved Daughter" 🤣

That panel 3 AureliaFace
I can hear the whistle of the punchline as it drops through the atmosphere. I think it might hit us in just a couple days, if I'm right.
Not if someone says the magic words... (And, no, it wouldn't be me.)
Fame changes everyone... XD
Symptoms may include: a) makes a man take things over; b) lets him lose hard to swallow; c) puts you there where things are hollow
More like milfifluous amirite
dammit Fart Captor
Can they just meet already!!!! Sigh. 😔 Sorry about that. Please continue.
You do realize -- you've basically just asked for the rest of the week to be "Steve eating breakfast" followed by a month of catching up with the other members of the cast. And then it's Aurelia and Marigold eating pancakes because they've already done an all-nighter planning out their collaboration.
Does this mean Marigold uses Burger Oni voice on the phone?
Probably not, but all Aurelia can hear now are panicked whispers. Of, uh, her adoring fans.
We're getting into Commedia dell'Arte here. Or would it be Aurelia Mar'arte?
“I’ll die” is basically my response to having to introduce myself in person to anyone.
See, Aurelia should invest in voice modification like Marigold does.
I stand by saying the Augustus family is precious
I love that the common sense is passed around this cast. It is currently Claire's turn with it.
the official QC commonsense conch
Aurelia seems awfully pleased with the recognition. Even though she says she wants to maintain her privacy.
Yes, for someone who's repeatedly stressed how important it is to maintain her anonymity, she's acting awfully pleased about this.
I’d love to hear the voices of these characters one day. Que the next comic where Marigold awkwardly comes over to confirm.
Oooh I'm all a-giggle! . o O (Now I need it to be tomorrow so I can get the next strip.)
Good luck, Burger Oni.
