That Old Adage

Classic
The old chicken coop, eh? Something something cocks.
I love May, one of my favorite additions to the AI gang.
I understand what she means and agree.
Am I the only one enjoying the simple absurdity of panel 1?
¿Insert poultry joke here?
OMG, Jeph, I'm dyin' here... #XoD
“What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.”
I only just noticed now - are Dale's glasses AR displays, or why are they glowing?

very happy to see the old May surface, the super horny weird sex being that was trying to bust out of a broken body!
If she can make the spreadsheet in her head why can't she make the supercut in her head?
Clearly video editing is for nerds.
Kevin Sonney is frowning, I just know it. Also, "That sounds really unpleasant, but I'm happy for you" is a line I will have to remember.
As someone who raises chickens, I really appreciate the animal husbandry reference.
May is the wisest character in the cast.
Just to clarify, is that "insert 'cock joke' here", or "'insert cock' joke here"?
Yes.
Reading through the archive right now, and we've been building towards this for literally 4,000 comics now. Ever since Raven and Faye talked about rebranding Coffee of Doom as "udders". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=837
It's all so clear!
Well if that gives me a golden egg then...
I'm pretty sure that's a Mark Twain quote
Plato, actually.
In her spare time May writes alternative lyrics for Wurzels songs
A slight misunderstanding of "animal husbandry"
See, everyone thinks a roll in the hay is great until you meet The Mosquitoes. Or a combine harvester
Hay is surprisingly spiky on exposed skin
How come May got so thick all of the sudden?
As someone who has studied May's new body in every comic it has appeared in I can assure you she's always had comparable dimensions
"Spreadin' them sheets" needs to be a dirty metaphor...
I'm CHORTLING over here!
Every panel in this is PERFECT!
okay I think that bottom left is my new favourite panel 🙌💚
It reads better in the original Klingon
Why is she putting these into a spreadsheet? That feels more like a Google doc.
The line in Panel 4 is just freakin' perfection. This is a line that Dennis Hopper could deliver with all the frantic elegance he embodies.
As they say.
May thinks spreadsheets are for nerds? Isn’t she an accountant? Spreadsheets are your WEAPONS!
She used to work a crappy shop job. She's now Marigold's manager, but Hanners was the one who helped sort out her finances (the spreadsheet bit). I don't think May has ever been an accountant
Somewhere, Anthony Edwards has just gotten rather excited but doesn’t know why.
This was everything I hoped it would be for their side of watching this
Okay,.. I laughed at that attempt at Metaphor.
Tune in next time when we hear Momo say, “Is it just me, or are May’s spreadsheets getting bigger and bigger?”
They get bigger when fellated.
Lost control of the metaphor is a brilliant line
The level of chill Dale has to possess to be reading Magical Love Gentlemen during this is terrifying.
The scariest part is that, for those two, that made sense.
Everything about this arc is amazing. It’s like every carefully built characterization paying off at once.
May is oddly adorable when she goes into AI Nerd mode.
Take a break from the porn video games, May.
No don't 😤
The farmer's only got one cock, so he has to make it count.
"I can't [see that model/simulation/data visualization] it's inside your head" has got to be a common ergonomics issue in MI/Human interactions. Please don't let MI chromecast to humans, esp. not May.
In fairness, with his data glasses, Dale could actually see them if May had only bothered sharing them first.
[missing spit take emoji] Wait... sucking the dick... of the GOOSE... that LAYS GOLDEN EGGS... and my gender confusion meter just assploded.
Never underestimate the power of the cloaca! "Despite injuries to face and head, Specialist Solus refuses to return to ship, noting need for soil and water analysis at secondary site. Kirrahe suggests Solus is one tough cloaca."
I'm gonna take the high road on this one and simply say that it's nice to see May enjoying her job.
Yeah, her days on the farm are some of her fondest memories.
That's one slippery metaphor.
It’s all that deep throat spit.
Dale, you're wearing glow-in-the-dark google-glasses. You don't get to make comments about anyone being a nerd.
He’s not commenting on her being a nerd, he’s calling out her sudden change of attitude.
I'll meet you behind the chicken coop, May, even if you are a machine.
May… 🥺
Interpret me as a date, tall booby lady 🥺
I never metaphor I didn't like. Especially out-of-control metaphors.
Oh my god, I'm in tears from laughing so hard. That got me real good
Oh shit, is that how you get a goose to lay golden eggs?
I mean, what were YOU trying?
I love how Dale lives in an Isekai-style harem (think Konosuba), and he’s handles everything in the most monotone way. He really contrast the insanity around him constantly.
She just jizitted that metaphor right out like a simile about how excitement is like an unexpected kinky thing
Jizitted ... ejafecated... urimaxed
Ah, May. Thank you for reminding me we don't need Yelling Bird to have Yelling Bird energy in our days.
If you don't put on your farmer's hat it doesn't count as a Homestyle Blowjob
Pepperidge Farm remembers.
110% commenting just for the metaphor love.
That metaphor didn't just get away, it went on a crime spree across several states.
Ah yes, "Thelma & Furious..."
Am I the only one who remembers this comic from like a couple months ago?
Yes, you are clearly crazy lol
Pure Art.
First the cows, now the chickens. Old MacDonald was a chill dude for never kink shaming.
I don't think I've ever laughed harder at a runaway metaphor.
I've been reading since about strip 100 or so and I think this is the funniest arc yet. It's delightful and it feels like the inevitable, organic consequence of who these characters are; very natural for all of them and that's what makes it so hilarious.
Every day I am happy for May and happy from her.
I have to say that when May gets into super-organized planning mode she's even hotter.
Seriously. It's like a mating dance for anyone with an engineering background.
"I got too excited and lost control of the metaphor" will be the epitaph on my headstone.
No you don’t want to be letting the waterfowl sucking dicks. Those bill lined teeth, like razor wire
Dale in panel 2 feels like a reaction image I'd want to use a lot.
He's such a chill guy but I'm really enjoying his eyebrow action during this arc. She's said a few eyebrow-raising things (as is her wont anyway).
I don't know what kind of farms May has been to but I would like to take a tour.
Sex farm woman, I'm gonna mow you down. Sex farm woman, I'll rake and hoe you down. Sex farm woman, don't you see my silo rising high?
Okay that was awesome 😎
I don't think fellating a corkscrew would be a pleasant experience
And to think, she used to sit on his face.
goddammit
May should call him
That happens to us all, May
That escalated quickly.
Okay May, that reference went right over my head. Anyone care to enlighten ne?
Just nod and smile. You'll be better off.
"Lost control of the metaphor" 🤔 I'm definitely going to have to start using that in my daily speech. . o O (I am largely rambling and incoherent, so it should prove incredibly useful.)
May, please don't fellate the waterfowl! That's just not okay!
Fellate the Waterfowl is a pretty good band name.
WHAT? Hahahahaha
Ah, that's what Grandpa used to say.
i love may so much
I'm stealing that metaphor
May never knew a metaphor she couldn't torture to death.
She is sucking all the marrow out of that one.
