You're never too old for a bouncy castle. My daughter loves to play in them with me.
Oh dang, this evoked some bouncy castle memories. The local RPG convention that’s been going on for 30 years always gets a bouncy castle on the premises. I think that some time during the previous decade the scales finally tipped and there were more kids than adults using it. XD
It occurs to me that enough adults in a bouncy castle might render the children little more than errant projectiles.
She acts strange for a 19-year-old, to my mind...but then again she HAS been effectively feral for years?? I like her.
Was it ever established that Cubetown ISN'T a giant floating bouncy castle?
I forget. Is she legally allowed to drink in Canada?
It’s per province, but drinking age in NS is 19.
Can one of those bad decisions be growing antlers on mice? https://www.popsci.com/science/antler-mice-stem-cell/
Oh no, not again
If Sam and Emmett ever get to meet Liz they will worship her as a god.
Or possibly vice versa. Either way, a dangerous trio!
Alas I never have been in a bouncy castle and now it’s too late
There's a "too late" agewise? I likely have too much mass for one, and my sense of dizziness is more easily set off by super-mega-blackout roller coasters than a number of years ago, but age wouldn't keep me out of a bouncy castle.
Who is ever too mature for a bouncy castle?
Oooh boy... Bouncey castle with AI + bad decisions (think Melon) = very bad decisions... "And we interrupt our current program to talk about Cubetown, where an AI bouncey castle simulating the effect of drugs on itself launched several scientist miles into the ocean. The pressing question is: Should drug simulation be restricted for AI?"
I like how Jeph gives us the answer to us trying to work out how old she is in the previous comic thread.
Her requests make me wonder, how many of the beings at Cubetown are actually biological humans.
NOBODY is too mature for a bouncy castle. They might say they are, but they are the ones that need it more than anyone.
Ain't ME that's too mature for a bouncy castle, Yelling Bird. It's my damn KNEES!
Important question: Will North Hampton people be invited to this party?
I'm imagining that pronounced with 1.5 seconds between "North" and "Hampton"
Bouncy bouncy, oo such a good time...
Shoes all in a line?
I say this at 31...you're never too old for a bouncy castle. Also, hold up a sec, HOW DID THIS SMOL CHILD GET DUAL PHDS AT 17?!?!?
Having never gotten even one of my own, I have no real idea, but perhaps two related fields so that it was easier to pursue both at once?
Never too old for DOOTS
I have some doots about the meaning of that shirt...
I see. So Gremlizabeth is baby AND smol. I figured to work here she'd be like twenty-two at the least 🤔
Not mutually exclusive.
Hmmm... given the current info, I'd bet that parties in Cubetown fall into the following four categories: A) Lowkey/relaxed/quiet B) Unbelievably awkward C) Call the police, riot/parade in progress D) Space- and/or time-warping event with possible lasting repercussions **cue VWORP VWORP VWORP sound effects**
SCP-29654 is a Euclid class temporal anomaly at [[location expunged]] and presents as an ongoing party at [[REDACTED]] that was started 16 years ago to celebrate the arrival of a new ice cream machine on location. Within the party, only 15 minutes have elapsed since the start. Currently the source of the anomaly is unknown as all foundation research personnel sent in have yet to return.
Ah, yes, Canadian fashion staple Doots, known for their Pooter sweats collection.
I love how you've been writing Martin lately.
You're never too old for bouncy castles... In spirit. In body, you usually get tired and start having chest pains after 5 mins.
True maturity comes when you say "I am too mature for a bouncy castle, but I am going to play in the bouncy castle because I want to."
MAD magazine said maturity came when you stopped pretending you were buying it for your kids.
You are legit never too old for a bouncy castle
I've been to a party that had alcohol and a bouncy castle. It was pretty fun.
And bad choices?
Martin hasn’t been this fun in forever. I’m loving cubetown.
Yep. Jeph was half moving Marten to Cubetown because he wasn't fun and didn't do much anymore. Then as this arc goes on, he realised he'd actually made Marten fun again and wants to write more. Go figure.. I mean, I WANT to see more storylines about Cubetown, sounds an interesting place.
Bouncy castle through the ages: - Forbidden delight - BOUNCY FUN! - Bouncy fun but... ironically? - Too cool for bouncy fun :-( - Bouncy fun but... ironically? <- Liz is here - BOUNCY FUN! - Bouncy fu... ack, my hip! - Forbidden delight
I’m roughly twice her age, and the concept “too mature for a bouncy castle” sounds nonsensical to me
Bouncy castle and high winds can also be a problem.
I hope the 1:00 pm explosion will be in attendance
Liz seems quite keen on getting some first hand experience with alcohol, recreational cannabis, and the exercise of poor judgment.
small party in Cubetown lol
Does this call for the Arbor Day banner or is that only for celebrating someone getting laid?
I think you mean "Ardor Day" banner, amirite?
Glorious
As I have told my nieces many times: you are never too old for a bouncy castle. They stop complaining when I use my superior weight to launch them.
Bad choices AND a bouncy castle? I wanna go…
Me too, but then, I run an ambulance service. *bwahahaha*
Marten doesn't know about the drinking age in Canada does he?
Not our universe. That may be one of the many differences. Besides, the drinking age in Canada is 19 except in a few spots where it is 18.
She may not have partied, but she knows the base elements of one perfectly
Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen
Alcohol and bouncy castles sounds like it'd result in having to clean up unspeakable atrocities.
I'm mostly concerned about what kind of custom mad-science bouncy castle the researchers have put together, like it's a bouncy castle made out of actual stone
Yes... but BOUNCY stone. Physics-defying stone!
Mixing alcohol, bouncy castles, and adults, is how my spouse ended up getting his ribs broken years ago. The crack was so loud all of us outside of the castle heard it and collectively winced. 🙃
Well, there ya go -- alcohol, bouncy castles and bad decisions all checked. You're only missing the recreational cannabis.
Never too old for a bouncy castle and bad decisions!!
I tried to send a message about bad decisions to the people in the castle, but it bounced.
GREMLIZABETH WILL NEVER STOP SHOUTING!
Doots.
(on the back, does it say “stood”?)
Adult bouncy castles are a thing and they are great
I need this in my life.
I love the cranky science goblin.
Damn it. I now need a t-shirt that says "Cranky Science Goblin."
You're never too old for a bouncey castle!
If it's party time, you need a rapping dog. And if you don't get that reference, it's proof that Jesus loves you.
You made Spuds cry.
At least at Cubetown there is essentially no risk of people not making bad choices; alcoholic beverages and recreational cannabis seem to be entirely optional.
Never too old for a bouncy castle!
(searches for a schoolhouse rock video on osteoporosis)
Song here is "Party Out Of Bounds" by the B-52s.
“Tiiiiiinflatable roof! (rusted)”
Fill the bouncy castle with pressurized booze instead of air.
Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And a bouncy castle.
Moray using the bouncy castle would be.... Interesting 🧐
Plot twist: Moray *is* the bouncy castle
YES MIX BOOZE AND BOUNCY CASTLE
A big yacky mess!
I'm with Liz on this one. Bouncy castle , never to old.
The bouncy castle will just be made of a bunch of Morays.
Please... GOD YES!!
I had to look it up because 19 is not old enough to drink here and at first I was confused(Missouri is 21 for drinking and marijuana), it appears the drinking age is 19 where Cubetown is located (I think?)
Is CubeTown in international waters?
Bouncy castle on an artificial island in the Atlantic... I have seen how wind plays with bouncy castles anywhere near a beach, so that would be hard nope for me haha
"Bouncy castle on an artificial island in the Atlantic..." in a town full of unrestrained technical geniuses. I've got a bad feeling about this...
is the drinking age in Canada 18? but yes woo party. nothing could go wrong there.
18 in Alberta (the Texas of Canada), 19 everywhere else
I think I'd prefer a tea party. With yummy pastries and little sandwiches.
I’m with you, Lenore.
So she was 17 when she came to Cubetown. Old enough to be tired of being called a "child prodigy" but young enough for it to be technically accurate.
Why is this ball pit full of cubes?
That look on Martin's face in the last panel...
Cue Pintsize
Marten needs to admit he wants that castle too and you know Claire wants it the most
Go karts and bounce houses.. both are needed
Bumper cars. Had them at our work christmas party a couple of years ago. Mad fun
Bouncy castles and alcohol seem like a terrible idea. Right up cubetowns alley.
Best opt for the power wash/ disinfectant option.
Not too old for bouncy castles until the joints start to go. (I'm too old for bouncy castles)
Big same
