Mattress Discounters

Longwing

Have a good night's sleep on uuuus.

Darnel D Cooper

Man,.....

Ruth Merriam

Yet another ultimate Claire face in panel 3.

Adoption is not necessarily about guardianship

Diptych

She's also not a minor and so wouldn't need legal guardians even if she didn't have any.

Vanessa says We Have Nothing To Lose But Our Chains, Unless You’re Into That

YEP IT SURE IS

this it? https://youtu.be/oyzcsKX4BMY

Moray printed out the paperwork!

Pretty sure the fact that Liz still has an acceptable relationship with her parents (If still some unresolved feelings) means that she is not going to do more than razz M&C about adoption. But still, as it is Cubetown, there is always the possibility it will go through anyway.

Milayna

Half the time I try to remember Mattresses Discounters I get the Cabinet Discounters jingle instead

Jim Toth

How do you know these aren't adoption papers?

Diptych

They're not really adopting Liz.

Am Queue

Wait. I thought this was the adoption papers, not the accept-the-job papers

Zak Reichle

Yes, Faye filled his head with the birdseed after he said he put something in the Milk. Anthony Jones was the pigeon

VGreenGoblinV

Have a good night sleep on us!!!🎶

Valerie Kaplan

You’re right, I DO.

Nicolas Demers

Wait, didn't his head get stuffed with birdseed at some point? And I think a pigeon or two? Did Faye do that?

Dean Reilly

Look on the bright side, Claire- it's only the biggest decision of your life SO FAR.

Sleepy John

She keeps having the biggest decision of her life. Really, girl, your decision to not stuff Pintsize's head with birdseed was at least as momentous ;)

Joe

Jeph you're evil. I ignored the Mattress Discounters ref until you said that. & I didn't even grow up there. I was in my 40s when I arrived. did stay there over 20 years though.

Steve H

I want a Moray bed.

Liz Patt

Omg that earworm.

Fart Captor

:3

Andrea Andrew

Ideally, Claire and Marten could become poly with Faye and Bubbles, but long distance relationships are very hard.

David Durant

*sigh*. I've been poly for a long-ass time and the constant poly-shipping does get just a smidge wearing sometimes. Would I love to see a poly group in QC? Massively! Do I think that a couple that met someone literally yesterday and where one of them will be that person's immediate boss will invite them to join their relationship? No so much. What would be ideal would be the kind of loooong slow build up to a group relationship the way Jeph very realistically took his time to get Elliot and Clinton together.

Stephen Wells

Marten and Claire both have the same "Claire sleeps with Moray" fantasy, I think this could become real very naturally :)

Andrea Andrew

So Marten and Claire are into Moray?! Poly ship confirmed.

To make it even for New England folks, 🎶 Bernie and Phyll-ll's, quality, comfort and price (that's nice) 🎶

Auros Harman

🎶 Have a good night's sleep on us! 🎶

Boots McGoot

Aww, the t-shirt! The TEH era hasn't truly ended

Seth Swanson

I love Claire in the third panel. D'awwwww!

Carrie

🤘😃🤘

J. Keith Wykowski

Aaargh... The music... The music!

Hugh Eckert

JEPH NO Also, I love the expressions in panels 3 and 4

Dubsicle

Jesus christ I will never be able to unsee that

Ami

Marten, get a cpap

Dev

Oh gosh if that jingle is anything like the Kars-4-Kids jingle in the NY area then that's psychological cruelty.

Robert Ragona

Panel 3 is so wholesome I want to squee in delight! Love these two so much. :-)

WingedIkaros

I grew up in Pennsylvania; Sadly the Jingle made it up north as well.

Aaron

Hey all those years of college in Virginia taught me something after all!

Stephen Wells

Also, looking at panel 4: I would say Get A Room, You Two, except they are already in their room :)

MikeT

She has yet to comment on the font of the contract. I feel like this is crucial information.

BookBeard

You are thinking of Sqornshellous Zeta, and now that you mention Hitchikers, Marvin would fit right in in Cubetown. I mean, *he* wouldn't like it there obviously, but a genius AI with serious mental health issues would not be out of place...

Captain Button

What was that Douglas Adams thing about the Planet of Mattresses?

Salodni Ikkis

I read "pointy eyebrows" and wondered for a moment if that was such a turnoff.

Jeff Gedney

the idea of startling new technologies for librarians is a whole new thread... Self organizing shelves, voice controlled filing cabinets, self aware/intelligent printers (and a lonely fax machine in the corner that nobody uses), transforming research desks...

Summer Sudbrink

I’d be irritated at the earworm, but… “Nobody bothers me!” :)

Eastern MA, and it’s stuck in my head too. At least it’s not the Giant Glass jingle. …DAMMIT!!

Holly Nelson

"A sentient waterbed with boundary issues…" sounds like a cute quip right up until I tried imagining sleeping in such a context. Then the feeling of claustrophobia kicked in.

allanfranta

"I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same" Yeah, I said that whole thing 5 times. (I would add the word "lawful" to make the next part, "obey the LAWFUL orders".) I wonder if Cubetown has an Librarian oath of office and swearing in ceremony. You would need cake...

Andrew

When you hop into bed, and it cuddles you so, that’s a moray… (or two)

Miyaa

In Portland and San Francisco, the “you’ll be soorrryyy” tagline for “Video Only” is awful.

Shane Wegner

I've changed the vector of my life by signing things before, it does feel kinda heavy. The biggest one was probably signing the paperwork to join up with the US Navy. That one worked out really well for me, I learned a ton about cool technologies- maybe the same for Claire.

enchantedsleeper

Platonic threesome! :D Alternatively: Liz and Evvie can enjoy the benefits of a Moray Unit in bed ;) (Where is Evvie, btw, after their hard night out?)
