What’s a wedding arc without something blowing up?
Two Comic week due to IRL things. Nothing wrong and nobody’s hurt, just a busy week. Resuming Monday!
Today's edition of the Secret Commentary is empty, because Dave failed to come up with something for it.
A new meaning to yellow cake. And just as toxic.
I 100% thought you were referring to a normal cake and was trying to figure out the bad ingredient. Eggs? Flour? Sugar?
Then realized the uranium would probably do it lol
“Pee on the cake if you want”
I nearly had a seizure laughing.
Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned… by burned fancy cakes.
No swearing, Marta.
Yeah, she needs to watch her fucking language.
Uncensored swears? 😛
It’s how they paid for the fancy cakes. Years of the swear jar.
Marta, Swear Jar!
Considering the day, she should be excused this one time for making with the f bombs! If I had a big fancy wedding and my wedding cake got messed up (before the wedding) I would be making with the fbombs too. In fact, make the caterer pay for those fbombs!
Isn’t the usual policy to bring in the black banner? Or use “fun with acronyms” as TV Tropes would have it?
I like how you basically allow uncensored swearing when it’s justified.
Is Marta justified in using this language in front of children? What would Todd think? But even were Marta justified in using it, doesn’t mean it’s appropriate to report/display it. It’s certainly a departure from the norm.
Jesus Christ. Here’s some pearls for you to clutch.
A knee-jerk cliche. I’d come to expect more of this forum.
I’m not particularly put out by the swearing, but I miss the days of creative censorship, both for the creativity (sometimes the best part of the page) and for the ability to share this comic freely with 100% of my kin circle instead of having to consider which ones are too young, too innocent, or too triggered by swearing.
…I mean there are other aspects to this comic that aren’t for sensitive readers, so maybe it’s past the point where I don’t have to consider who I’m recommending it to. But it was nice while it lasted.
Indeed, if this is a new storytelling choice by Dave, now rather than earlier is best. But I do rather regret it, and feel that the circumlocutions were more fun, and more creative as you say.
I feel this SO hard. We are trying to get kitchen cabinets. We got started in May. The cabinets arrived in September. The electrician is going to redo our kitchen wiring December 5th. The install is going to happen sometime after the new year, because somehow, some way, ALL of the install slots mysteriously got filled with other (red: bigger) kitchen installs. So we have an entire kitchen’s worth of cabinets still in shipping boxes filling our front room to the complete brim. We cannot even put up our Christmas tree this year because there’s nowhere to put it. We cannot have guests, obviously, for Thanksgiving or Christmas because there’s nowhere for them to sit. I’m on Martha’s side: SET TO SEA FOR REVENGE!
It’s how it is right now. We have such a lack of skilled blue collar technicians around for various reasons (the way seniority works in trade unions, all the rabid pushing kids to college, etc) and basically a lot of these people can get away with whatever they want since their is a flood of business for them and little repercussion if they screw up.
Oof, that’s a mess.
By the way, that should be “[its] only use”, in the last panel.
How is it Marta swears in real words? Is she just that cool, or does she now owe the cost of her whole wedding to the Swear Jar?
