But Doctor, I Am Pagliacci

Thanks! The things we learn by doing "research" on the Intertubes!

Thank you so much Crimson Barrel

It's from a pretty famous joke, it was quoted by Rorschach in The Watchmen: ""Heard joke once: Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up." Man bursts into tears. Says, "But doctor...I am Pagliacci." Good joke. Everybody laugh. Roll on snare drum. Curtains." So in this context, Pagliacci is a name. If you're going to go around the internet correcting people, you should make sure you know what they're talking about, friendo.

Just to let you know, should be “I’m a pagliaccio” Pagliacci is “clowns”. Italian for dummies pillow ends here

One time secondary her thing was to "sword swallow" while gargling lemonade. Pity "do not stick it in the crazy" is such accurate, even life preserving advice...

Dancing on the Edge of Sanity

Change the first one to "You going' to Gargle Town?"

Two new shirts: "Gargle up!" and "Put a clown nose on it!"

Dora looks younger, too. Art shift.

Joe

why be gay when you can be bi?? multiplies your opportunities. they could even get all poly about it.

Derrik Pates

Maybe Jeph will follow his rival Dave Willis' example and do a Slipshine?

Clifton Royston

I recently started a reread from the beginning, and Sven *definitely* looks younger now than he did on his first appearance. Of course, he's only a year older than Dora, so maybe it's all due to the attitude change.

i want May to be gay for Melon, but these two assholes could probably make for some fun friends.

Andrea Andrew

At this point, I think May could either end up with Sven or Winslow(if he ever comes back). I’d be down with either ship. With that said, this was a good first meeting.

Anonymous lady in the final panel, you don't know as much as 10% of it!

Evgeniy Semyonov

Sven Bianchi, Clown Prince of Sex... Which was already predicted, kinda: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1195

Dean Reilly

Please, like Sven needs to wait an hour if he wants to get his dick laughed at.

Penguin

Now you know why Walgreens has red nose day.

darklion

Fucking, maybe. Dating's clearly out at this point, though I guess things could change.

Some Ed

This is someone who was excited to get a job jacking off animals, and her chief complaint of her current body seemed to be that her hand joints were all pinchy, making it unpleasant for anybody she tried to jack off. Of course she's serious.

Sleepy John

does she have a clown car, then?

Carl Fink

Nice inclusion of Clown Nose Day, man.

Erin Moriarty

Maaaaaan deep pull on the Pagliacci reference

mooviies

All aboard!

What. How. Damnit, Jeph. You had to go and make this dark horse of a ship make sense........stellar as always. Thank you, Jeph.

Grace Kieser

I ship it more than any of his past relationships! We all knew he and Faye were a bad idea!

David Hall

FML, I ship it

Yonatan Zunger

... Sven and May are totally going to end up dating, aren't they. Nothing could possibly go wrong with this.

JD

May is probably being serious.

Asher Rose Fox

Fart Captor

Cody Renton

I've been trying to remember the name of that goddamn clown for weeks, thank you Jeph

SpazzyC

Well, they each seem to have made a friend.

Matt Grayson

The weird thing is how much sense this conversation makes in context.

z

Two quid that there's a post-coital scene where the two of them are EXTREMELY happy with the end results. :)

Alex Thompson
