Pintsize ghostwrites Oglaf

A sheep

I feel like Oglaf-vision is how Pintsize sees the everything.

Cleo Schmitz

Nose latte sounds even worse than dick latte

Emma Humphries

Marigold's imaginary Emily's pose in that third panel is painful to look at. I'm going to have to call a chiropractor.

David Howe

They're fuzzy? :)

bruitist

I've just noticed Emily's shirt says "Stoats". I imagine that it's likely for a fictional band in the QC universe, but Emily bought it to just show general stoat appreciation.

Sprayed my latte out my nose. Very unsexy, but thanks. :)

Well, Dale doesn't look that different at least. Emily is a few rounds of entirely unnecessary plastic surgery away from looking like Marigold's mental image of her.

Scott Kenney

The thing I love most about the two Oglaf-vision panels is that Emily and Dale don't actually look that different, it's all about the body language. Oh, and the terrible dialogue of course.

R. Francis Smith

It was only on my third viewing that I noticed the SPECIAL in OGLAFverse.

"Hold On Loose Leaf"

Jeph, I want to complement you. You've shown time and again that you have one of the best webcomics around, and what I appreciate is that it depicts reality so very, very well. This arc seems to be going the same way that my first romantic relationship went. (Except that -I- was in Marigold's shoes. And no, I am NOT proud of my behavior then, other than that I survived, learned, and grew.)

Stoodmuffin

But girl! They CAN be just friends. Men and women can be just pals! End this hetero nonsense that implies boy + girl AUTOMATTICALLY means fuggin

Stoodmuffin

Oh man, the jealous feels. Aw, marigold.

OLGAF LOLGAF

Raina Lowry

I keep forgetting that Dale has eyes...

TODAY'S SPECIAL: FUCKIN'

Will Weaver

Between Marigold and Elliot there’s some crazy vivid imaginations around here...

Will Weaver

I doubt it. She’s probably just read way too much lemon fanfiction and/or watched way too much cheesy porn.

MAR

Do we know if Marigold is attracted to women any? She may be imagining Emily that way because she's attracted to her.

Ben Russell-Gough

Marigold doesn't work at CoD; she's a self-employed web-mistress and technology fixer.

Holly Nelson

Marigold doesn’t have access to our-world Oglaf, or she would know the cumsprite would reveal any wandering Dale might try.

Czarzhan

Anybody else think that Marigold may be picking up Hamner's shifts?

Czarzhan

LOVE the Oglaf reference! :)

Vince Averello

It's not just Oglaf-colored, the style is similar and very 'sexy' :

Todd Whitesel

Liked on the strength of the Oglaf reference :3

Ben Russell-Gough

He's put up lineart of an annoyed May. So, yes, I do think that we're going to have characters lining up to try to slap Marigold down with the clue-hammer whilst she persists in claiming that, because she has self-image problems, everyone else must think she's ugly too.

Peter Jensen

Hmm, I wonder if this is what Jeph talked about <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/960920603925630976" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/960955304572747777" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>, and <a href="https://twitter.com/jephjacques/status/963121009170796546" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">here</a>.

David Paul

Marigold was doing so well, too. After the <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1630" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">incident</a> <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1631" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">with</a> <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1632" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Angus</a> (prior to him hooking up with Faye), she did not recover well from that. She's always had boy issues, and the crushing depression that accompanies unrequited love (as well as the other crushing depression of Not Being Good Enough). That sort of shit feeling, whatever it may stem from, never goes away. Marbear, please, you can trust Dale. He's a good person. And he will be there for you.

Andrew Tate

Cocachino?

Jan Gampe

Yes, I'll have today's special please

Ben Russell-Gough

This whole thing makes so much sense when you consider it's Marigold. She's never held herself up as anything special and so it is obvious to her that Dale would prefer someone else. Notice how she turns Emily from 'tall and gangly' to 'curvy vixen' in her head to back up her paranoid fantasy!

Ben Russell-Gough

Yeah, I thought Marigold was jealous but... WOW! Is that what the world is like inside her head? Basically, it looks like a poorly-written fanfic which, when I think about it, is EXACTLY how I think Marigold's imagination works!

Denise Webber

This is what happens when you watch too much anime.

Drakoo Dreamer

That whale tail.

LaPrimaNerda (Sarah Davis)

Can we take a moment to appreciate that both Dale and Emily have not only noticed something is now off with Marigold, but are verbally checking on her? The drama is probably coming anyway, but the fact that they’re both so attentive may help smooth things out faster...you know, if Marigold actually admits to her insecurities and is willing is talk it out instead of just imploding.

Celine Chamberlin

I think Dale is her first real boyfriend, right? And she's pretty awkward socially, anyway, so it's not unreasonable that she's having these thoughts. She'll get there.

Bagge

...I don't want dick latte ;-(

Diptych

(I assume this is the cheesecake we were promised.)

This is not the funtimes ship I was hoping for last week :(

Diptych

oh marigold no

Brian

I love the Oglaf reference

Andrew

Marigold needs some inverse-anime glasses to remind her real life is (usually) different.

Andrew

Well yeah, when they’re made by a really annoying barista, sure :)

Ian Wolfe

Rob Liefeld is very proud, right now.

Kilonum

to clarify, the band, not the bullet

Kilonum

and now I have 38 Special stuck in my head

Ian Wolfe

It's a bright green little pill.

Ian Wolfe

Wow, Emily sure obtained a lot of, ehem, "plot" and "backstory" in Marigold's little delusion.

MikeT

Ah the pink mist of jealousy....

Rachel

I love the stereotypical awful comic book boobs'n'butt "oops, I've broken my spine and pureed all my internal organs" pose here. It is perfect for the paranoid fantasy.
