Goodbye For Now
Aug20
When I was younger, a few of my relationships burned out because of this kind of thing. You meet someone awesome, and you immediately want to saturate your schedule with them.
Then I got older and realized this was a bad idea. Let the relationship unreel at its own pace.
Some of the readers are probably googling “play party,” and others already know what it means. Oh yes, this story is going to be fun to tell.
Soundtrack to this strip:
FYI Your navigation arrows are overlaying the stip at the bottom and thus also blocking some of the text boxes 🙁 (IceDragon (Firefox based browser)
Tested on Firefox, IE, Chrome, all A-OK. You may need to do a full refresh – Mel adjusted the layout last night.
Honestly, I have to agree with the first poster. I’ve never opened your site on firefox – arrows are over the comic. On chrome, they are, and a did a ctrl-F5 refresh.
Well, this is annoying. Anyone else? Sound off, pls. I need to get a handle on this.
running firefox version 23.0 on ubuntu, everything looks ok. no ad blocker running.
Yeah same here, in chrome and firefox but not IE. Just nuked cookies, cache, and restart. Same thing :/
Are you running an ad blocker? I had a friend pull up the site, boom, exact issue you describe. Without the ad to the left, the navigation bar ends up IN the comic. Will see what I can do tonight
Ah, yes. New browser, new addons, Adblock was one of them. Disabled that and it is working properly again. Thanks.
Whoops! there you go, I am an adblock girl. Sorry about that. I’ll add you to my exceptions 😉
BOOM. Think I figured it out.
Are you using an ad blocker? Does the ad on the left sidebar load for you?
I’m getting the same thing. Chrome, full refresh, even closed/reopened, and checked for Chrome updates.
Thanks for the heads up.
Chrome on my laptop does just fine with the arrows, but the comic is now covering part of the vertical ad on the left. Didn’t notice until reading comments.
I’m using adblocker and some other do not track me addons. your arrows cover the bottom of the bottom 2 panels. Firefox.
Yeah, turning off adblock for this site fixed it.
I forgot to do so; which I normally do for sites I actually like (as opposed to ones I just regularly visit).
Mmm… it’s been far too long since I had a “play date”, lol.
Murm murrrm, shit just got real son.
Munch munch munch
*snicker*
Ah, the euphoria of ignorance . . .
Nice mellow vibe for the morning, though. That was an unexpectedly terrific cover.
Look, we do NOT dis the Violet Wand. I believe the phrase ‘thing of beauty and a joy forever’ very much applies.
The damn things are way too expensive.
Don’t know what brought that up, but sometimes, you’ve gotta know where to look. Sometimes you can find them at beauty supply stores for a good price. I did find a nice violet wand kit here for less than the price of a good corset.

Only problem with the Nova wands are that the spark feels… sharper, for lack of a better term. The old school style has a arc that just feels warmer. …look, I know it doesn’t make sense, I think it’s one of those things you have to experience to understand the difference.
That said… I own a Nova kit and they are A-OK.
Thanks for the link, but even without international shipping it’s out of my price range. I’m presently between employments so anything above a magic bullet is too expensive…I shall pass the link on to US friends, though.
ok, I get it, looking at a hot cartoon chick is cool and all but the comic is Failure to Fire. Are we reading cool and funny things about guns and gun culture or just a cartoon drawing of someones life. Its like edTV but more like edComic. this story line is making want to read something else.
Wait.
Is this the only webcomic you read?
Whoa. And reading it stops you from reading other things?
I will try harder to keep the romance out of this romantic comedy. Just for you.
*glub glub glub glub*
Lower case joe is absolute right! How dare you show that a guy who works in a gun shoppe has any other aspect to his life other than the gun shoppe? How dare you try to portray characters as having more than two dimensions? How dare you have storylines that the average Ted Nugent fan think are too deep?
Exactly. Anyone remember how Penny Arcade got started? ‘The Bench’. That trick only works for so long before your readers begin to realise you’re just cutting and pasting panels so you can add different dialogue.
Heh. Heheheheehee.
Play Party?!!!! *Perk!* This just keeps getting better and better!
that was pretty much my reaction, too, other than wondering how far his little eyes are going to bug out of his head. *snerk!*
That was my reaction as well. I’ve been on Alex’ side of the ‘seduction of the innocent’ enough times to get The Grin whenever I see someone about to be introduced to this. I’m quite sure her play parties are much more than the “old guy in a diaper being whipped onstage” that a lot of the so-called fetish nights end up being.
good place to be innit? MUWHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHhAHAH ahem
