Compromising Positions

Ack

I love how Marigold changes gears in mid-sentence. "You saw me yesterday" becomes "What kind of presents? I like presents."

Fart Captor

Oddly enough she's about 1.3 Emilys tall

Stoodmuffin

right, but Marigold has been MIA for a while

dvsDave

At this point Jeph is just cackling madly, while throws darts at a calendar to see when Faye and Bubbles will finally ship....

Scott Kenney

But Emily goes in high, knowing full well Marigold's low centre of gravity will cope.

Will Weaver

Clearly Emily’s tackle hugs are the most powerful tackle hugs.

Celine Chamberlin

What is the Marigold/Dale ship name? Because if it's not Darigold (a dairy-oriented company that may just exist here in the Northwest) I may have to be disappointed.

Daryl Sawyer

Wouldn't exactly be unprecedented. :-\

Jeph Jacques

Nah, I don’t look at those. I just thought up a good story for her!

Jan Gampe

How tall is Emily? In my head, she was always taller than everybody else, except Elliot.

Gillian Brown

YAY MARIGOLD'S BACK

Ben Russell-Gough

Especially when Emily seems literally incapable of anything resembling malice. If she wanted to have a relationship with Dale, she'd likely ask Marigold's permission (and maybe even invite her to participate)!

Stoodmuffin

Marigold looks like me. :)

Bagge

It's hard to stay jellos at Emely

Stoodmuffin

I MISSED HER! Omg I'd react the same way, though

Ben Russell-Gough

You don't need to be a shipper to know that it's in-character for Marigold to easily get jealous of Dale having a close relationship with any woman except herself.

Ben Russell-Gough

I've got to say that I don't think that the character art has changed in any noticible way.

Ben Russell-Gough

I doubt that's going to happen any time soon.

Ben Russell-Gough

Emily has a brilliant method for distracting Marigold from her own insecurities and her sense of being 'unworthy'. It isn't quite 'Ooh! Shiny!' but it's certainly that she'd prefer to think about presents than the possibility that 'friendship' may equal 'attraction' between Dale and... well, any woman other than her!

Panel 5 is Prime Blerf.

GuySavage

Yes she returns!

Andrew

Her hugs are more energetic than the LHC!

Andrew

Your gift is a brand new imaginary anime!

Nice detail with the tongue in the fifth panel! :D

Brent Catherman

If Jeph is asking if we remember Marigold I think he's been checking the message boards lately.

Rob McBobson

Yay! Marigold; my favorite too!

Travis Wedding

hnnnnnnnng another comic with no resolution to Faye's thoughts from last week.

Waffliesinyoface

panel 5: the mental state of all of your readers, me included

I started somewhere around when Faye and Angus got together mid 1000's I think been so long I lost track.

Populuxe

Marigold has become even cuter. WHAT DARK SORCERY IS THIS!?

Populuxe

My first strip was 2747, when Dave “Dumbing Of Age” Willis did a fill in strip. It featured May, Marigold and Pintsize. It interested me enough to keep reading, I fell in love with the strip, started from the beginning and never looked back.

Magic Chopstick Games

blep

Kyle Major

She went from having a problem to woot presents XD

Lisa

Marigold is my favorite too! There was a Marigold comic running when I first got into the comic. The one with the fancy dress that she was self-conscious in. She's a lot of why I started reading QC.

Luzahn

Look it's fine Marigold, you can just all date each other. Problem solved.

BobC

Ok. I *will* make a shipping comment.

Ye cannot change the laws of physics

Warning. Warning. This is a plot complication. Warning. Warning. This is a plot complication. Emotional turmoil incoming in 10 9 8 7 6 Mr. Spock? What's happening? 3 2 1 Wipeout...

Fart Captor

I'm assuming the background was enveloped with light because Emily hugs are the best

I had the same thought, time will tell but Jeph has said no babies (though he did have Marigold have a fever dream about birthing Hanners)

Samantha Yeaman

I missed Marigold so much. She is my precious little ball of gaming love and insecurity and I want her life to be filled with good things and level ups.

No I think the hug (and a bit of knowledge of Emily) alleviated any thoughts of jealousy.

Kevin

Is it just me or does Marigold look ahead may be Pregnant in the second to last panel?

TMN

Emily confirmed as author insert. :B

Fart Captor

Marigold's face while she's getting hugged is PRICELESS

MikeT

Yes Mari, it makes so much sense to be jealous when you're boinking him ten hours a day...

Joseph H.

No point being jealous of Emily marigold... she won't be able to conceptualize what you are talking about. Much too human of a thing.

Kyle Jenkins

Jeph, I don't think my heart can handle both the Faye/Bubbles will they won't they storyline AND Marigold being mad/suspicious at Dale and Emily....

Adam Friedlander

If Emily said she'd bought me presents, I would assume that a visit by the SCP Foundation would be forthcoming.

Kevin

Please don't send her away with Hanners :(.
