Or Mr. Pibb

Some Ed

I feel sorry for everyone who thinks that Dale's speech bubble in the third panel should be going off-panel, including Jeph. Clearly, you haven't been around enough amazing couples that thoroughly know each other. And haven't been half of enough such amazing couples. They are a delight to behold and a delight to be a part of.

Todd Ellner

Yep. And if they do they will be excellent parents. Not sure why, but they're about the only regularly-occurring characters I can see in that role.

Zoya

the whole point is that she's shouting it in quick succession - that's why he intentionally didn't separate them out or use punctuation

Patrick Rochefort

I think this is the comic that convinced me that Marigold and Dale should get married.

Chuck Dee

That's what I thought too... but it makes more sense that bubble was meant to go offscreen.

Jan Gampe

Since Jeph is fixing this comic anyway, I'd rearrange "No hugs too sweaty need shower" to "No hugs too sweaty need shower" or place some punctuation in it.

Check you spam folder... Patreon started to get flagged as spam last night sometime in my email.

Kirby Canvas

Surprised this didn't come as an email. Good comic none the less :3

David Durant

In the future, when the Dr Pepper War comes, we shall know which side you are on heretic... 😂

Gemma Hentsch

Yeh that makes more sense, I thought it might be a voice message on Dale's glasses...

Mitsuki Ayane

is that supposed to be Marigold's text bubble in panel 3? ~<3

Duncan

So adorable!

Bagge

She's a lovely goblin and I love her

Shane Wegner

Why do you care about naked primates in a shower? We don’t care about some finch or blue jay splashing around in a birdbath…hmm, or DO we??

I love that Dale knows this about her.

Yelling Bird

I THOUGHT DALE WAS SARCASTICALLY REPEATING WHAT HE KNEW SHE WAS SAYING OUT OF EARSHOT! ANYWAYS, NEXT STRIP BETTER BE MARIGOLD IN THE SHOWER!

Carl Fink

You're right about the glasses. He met May when she was just an AR ghost they projected for him.

Melissa Wilson

I am so loving all the Hanners-Marigold-Dale coverage in this arc. Feels like old times. How about a quick jam session from the band mates, while Marigold washes up?

Ramen Gonzales

yeah the email update was marked as spam as well for me, i wonder if it is the Mr. Pibb reference

Buck Caldwell

Did anyone else get the notification for this marked as spam?

Megan Lane

Or that he'd be showering with her.

ljdbjlasfbjk

I had interpreted it as Marigold being so sweaty that Dale needed a shower after trying to hug her.

TV4Fun

Okay, Dale is officially a good boyfriend.

marty aka spockblocked

ME TOO

Lol

Captain Button

Dale! Using VR glasses to spy on your girlfriend is NOT COOL!

Thisguy

Now let’s see how May congratulates her.

Thisguy

See. Very supportive and understanding boyfriend who actually ‘gets’ her.

Dallas Hicks

I just thought it was her voice coming through the speakers in his glasses because that's something that could totally happen in this comic. 😁

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

And here I thought he was reading her socmed post. (I assume those glasses of his are AR screens.)

Miyaa

Double eww

same.

Yonatan Zunger

I love the way Dale understands Marigold. There's something very sweet and loving about it.

Grumbling when you're happy is a mood

Michael Boettger

Dale speaks pretty fluent Mari-goblin, doesn't he?

Alejandro Enriquez

I thought Dale was grumbling about having to get in the shower with Marigold after having already showered today.

Nikki

I was very confused why Dale sounded like Marigold.

Jaron Mortimer

Screw Diet Dr. Pepper. Dr. Pepper Zero is where it's at.

Chris Weigert

Also panel two is amazingly evocative.

Chris Weigert

Yeah, I figured it was just Dale channeling Marigold, as only he knows how to, because he’s fluent in grumbles.

FuzzyDragon Cosplay

I thought Dale was translating grumbles.

Slashplane

Speech bubble mistake.

JD

Lol, I thought her and Dale were just so in sync that he was speaking for her.

Jackie Horn

Dr. Pepper is the only doctor I can afford, so I get it.

Miyaa

Diet Dr Pepper… eww.

Michael

Why is Dale the one grumbling in the 3rd panel?

Jackie Horn

Lol I thought Dale was just filling in the grumbling he knows is happening!
