Oh I've known the tyranny of hair for many years. (Of course, it's been worse lately...) Go Emily!

Some Ed

Different types of inebriation definitely inspire different types of bad decisions. That said, there's a lot of room for some overlap. Just from what I observed in college, it appeared that alcohol had a higher chance of inspiring destructive bad decisions than weed, even after reducing the samples to just those bad decisions of people who consumed both at various points. There are also, of course, lots of studies that show this sort of thing. I seem to recall seeing (an older) study compare alcohol inebriation to PCP inebriation, and that decidedly showed that PCP tended towards more destructiveness, which led to the US military cancelling their super soldier research.

Every time there's a party, Emily's hair gets shorter. Next time it's a buzz-cut!

Daryl Sawyer

At first, I'm like "no! Not the hair!" and then I'm like, "Huh. That's actually kind of hot."

onitake

Actually, I think it would make more sense to limit Tai's access to research animals instead... or all animals

Joe

ouch. I see what you did there.

Joe

already there. I will happily get my beard trimmed if our idiot governor will pull back on unnecessary restrictions.

Joe

wonder if you gave them the drugs too, would it help or hurt?? I used to have a foreman who would skip work for a few days or a week whenever he scored. didn't like him much - we all had to pull his weight while he was flaking off.

Tai’s access to intoxicants (and tools) has to be strictly monitored at all times.

We've gone slightly back in time to see what's been happening at the coffee shop while all the stuff with Faye, Bubbles and Yay was going on.

Uhhh, the timeline seems to have gone screwy, there's no way faye and bubbles did so much including super serious chats of two major kinds and after snuggles and came back and the others are still going at it. Unless this is a weekend bender, which I guess the coffee shop is probably closed anyway if we want to go towards reality so...

Mark

I was confused for a few seconds. Tai usually has distinctly sharper features than Faye.

Wayne Rossi

Can an illustration of Tai's point here please please PLEASE be this month's bonus comic?

jimbo

given the Infinite Monkey theorem, the monkey will eventually destroy the world (or build a house, I'm not sure which)

Clifton Royston

Are these cute idiots all still at it?

Justin

I didn't know I needed this until you said it!

Bagge

I stand corrected https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2540

Bagge

I'm not sure we have ever seen Emily regret anything

Kajsa Anderson

If You Give a Monkey a Hammer- next book in the series including such gems as If You Give a Mouse a Cookie.

Alcaria Swain

If you give a monkey a hammer, it's gonna want some PCP to go with it...

Slashplane

Some have sobriety chips, she has.....hair.

Rob McBobson

Depends on if Shakespeare is running away so they need to catch him before they hammer him.

Thisguy

If you give 1000 monkeys tools and materials, eventually they will build the Empire State Building. There’s actually a higher chance of them doing that then your standard contractor.

Tudza

Marmosets on percocets and then all bets are off.

Actually I think they'll be easier to tell apart, now.

Sero

Emily seems to have a trend of cutting her hair when intoxicated.. I wonder how she ever grew it out as long as it originally was in the first place!

Sleepy John

She is, of course, speaking from experience.

TMN

Drug... propaganda?

Hugh Eckert

"You give a gun to a monkey. And then you let him into Charlton Heston's house. And then you lock the doors and film it though the window."

Absynthe

The lesser-known fifth horseman of the apocalypse was a wolverine on amphetamines

Baalzie

I hope the drug propaganda dies down, so we can get quality comics back...

Miyaa

So how many monkeys with hammers does it take to hammer out Shakespeare?

Ralph

I literally just laughed out loud.

I think Tai is right that weed decisions are very different than drunk but I was also a MENACE when I drank so I might be an outlier. Would not recommend giving me or a monkey a hammer and any kind of drugs tho.

Matt

Please tell me this was a real convo

BobC

Wolverines on amphetamines.

Brian

Oh no, now there are two Doras

Based on this comic alone, Emily is paler, taller, has nicer shorts, and better posture.

Katrina Urmson

Yeah.... team Hanners. SO very much team Hanners.

Simon Green

That pun was *prime*, eh-t?

Wolfger

If you *don't* give a monkey a hammer, he'll ask for drugs. If you give a monkey a hammer, he'll *demand* them.

Gio C

Some of my friends used to speak of some guy who would show up to all classes completely stoned. He was in a civil engineering program, and apparently one of the best in his class.

Devin Gates

Marmoset there'd be days like this. There'd be days like this, marmoset.

Michael Boettger

There is a adage: Do not taunt the dynamite monkey. Tai has formulated a proper analogy to this.

Michael Boettger

Extremely cute! But I foresee a emergency call to a hair salon early tomorrow.

Dean Reilly

Jeph saw the comments from people who couldn't tell Dora and Emily apart and was all, "Haha, just you wait".

Matt

Jeph, why you give me so many bad ideas?!?

Emma Humphries

Weed ideas aren't like drunk decisions. They are orders of magnitude worse. You wouldn't do your Differential Equations homework drunk; you would think it's a great idea to do them stoned.
