Tricky Dick

Shawn K. Younkin

Sven's hand and then Sven's OTHER hand!

Hugh Eckert

I prefer the "Hey, Kool-Aid!" method.

Sean Brannon

Richard is my new favorite character, I demand a 500 strip long flashback to Richard's story! XP

Melissa Wilson

I am *so* ready for that ship to embark on another voyage!

Melissa Wilson

She’s giving me Tai’s relative vibes… Not a sister, but maybe a cousin?

Melissa Wilson

Gmail LIES!

Melissa Wilson

Yes; this is certainly fact!

Melissa Wilson

Truth! They can barely withstand mediocre thrusting!

Yelling Bird

Oh, I'm not saying she's huge, but she's more well-rounded than the other girls at the wedding is all. And I'm super-cool with that.

Mitsuki Ayane

and just like that Sven stole her... ~<3

Doc Gumby

That also explains the lack of personal items, pictures etc.

Philip Masters

While it may be tempting to see them as closeted closeteers, I think that’s reading a bit too much in.

Bill Silvia

I'm guessing one or both of them has a closet sex fetish.

Philip Masters

Anh might have done better if she hadn’t been interrupted by her discovery of true love.

Philip Masters

One imagines Sven turning Richard’s face to the wall before things got too warm. Every time.

Philip Masters

She’s hardly that large. Just pleasingly built, for comfort rather than speed.

Philip Masters

Unless they heard Sven approaching and hid in the wardrobe out of confused politeness. Also, their genre antennae may be well tuned, causing them to realise that they were currently in a farce. In which case, use of the wardrobe was mandatory.

alphanor

Why were they in the closet anyway? The bed would be easier and much more comfortable. And Dora's mom said she would change the sheets tomorrow, and I don't think Richard would have minded too much.

Steve McSheffrey

I didn't notice the dinosaur at first and thought him talking to Richard was referring to his crotch.

Steve McSheffrey

Better than my mother telling me my grandmother had died, me realizing if I died she'd find out I was gay at the funeral, and telling her right then and there I was gay.

Leak

Hidey-Ho's...

legobil

Heh. Railed. And, apparently not, if Sven was able to interrupt.

legobil

Plot twist: the Robot spa is called Secret Robotics and is located right next to The Secret Bakery.

legobil

I bet the purple haired lady is able to answer this in a few comics, or at least he would if Sven had not entered so rudely.

legobil

[insert South Park Al Gore “it’s super cereal” meme]

legobil

legobil

This is now my in head canon and no one can stop me.

legobil

He didn’t have the heart to take it from it’s natural habitat.

legobil

T-Richysaur Dix.

enchantedsleeper

I think that Sven would covertly turn Richard to the wall whenever sexytimes were about to go down xD

Stephen Wells

That diiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiick

Stephen Wells

I think he IS the snack.

Stephen Wells

She's of French stock, her name is Demoiselle d'Honneur-aux-Cheveux-Violettes, her family were landowners in the Auvergne but moved to America in 1789.

Stephen Wells

@Graydon Hah, I just went to find those links :) Character invented here: https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2007/11/07/the-spur-of-the-moment

Stephen Wells

She's apparently more efficient than Anh in arranging to get herself railed.

Stephen Wells

It would be nice for May to see it.

Stephen Wells

@Mad Marie isn't that the plot of the Lego Movie? :)

Stephen Wells

Now I REALLY want him and May to work through their issues and get back together, they've both got much better at being people. I mean, May works for Marigold now, she can *refund* him for The Body :)

Mrpink

Is Richard Sven's emotional support animal? O_o'

enchantedsleeper

Me neither, although I guess it's now a guest bedroom and those tend to be pretty plain... But somehow Richard survived xD

Clifton Royston

Clifton Royston

I like the way you think.

Graydon Armstrong

Any relationship to Rex Ready, Time-Traveling Secret Agent Dinosaur For Hire? https://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2011/04/04/rex-ready-the-return-of-rex-ready

Graydon Armstrong

The Hanners heart eyes on your pfp seem apropos for that comment.

Mad Marie

With the proper chemical(s), plastic can be permanently joined to plastic via a process called "solvent welding".

Charlie Rose

I wasn't expecting Sven's room to contain literally only the dinosaur

enchantedsleeper

Imagine for a moment, though, another scenario: Steve comes to the wedding with Cosette. Marten asks Steve how boat ownership is going, and Cosette rolls her eyes and says that she's learning to live with it, but she wishes that Steve wouldn't make so many nautical puns. (Steve and Claire then begin punning together). Several strips later, Sven goes to sit down in his childhood bedroom - before Steve AND Cosette AND the pink-haired bridesmaid all fall out of the wardrobe together.

enchantedsleeper

I think Jeph broke up Cosette and Steve just so that Steve was free to get into Situations at the wedding...

enchantedsleeper

Yeah, I had to read it a few times to get what was happening xD I think his brain is just catching up to this new development.

BookBeard

Bah, ridiculous, that's clearly not Faye. Her name is Waye Fhitaker. She's from Macon Georgia, she does abstract wooden sculpture and operates a robot spa and wellness center with a large green ex-military AI named Sparkles, with whom she is definitely just friends.

BookBeard

Correction: It *was* his room.

Bagge

He knows how his life works

Salodni Ikkis

Exactly, the illicit wedding hookup room

Tim Keating

DUDE IT'S HIS ROOM!

legobil

My thought at first also, but then also Steve..? But also, time may have passed. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

legobil

Eh. I just use the app :)

Fart Captor

They did, actually

legobil

Inside her? Is Steve’s 🍆 the Party?

legobil

Do you mean it isn’t a good way to come out of the closet?

Brian Leahy

Did you have to break my closet door?

Bagge

If Sven expected to be able to go to the illicit wedding hookup room without getting into adult situations he really need to rethink

Bagge

And we do!

David Paul

That would be Steve's idea of a cute nickname, though.

Ursus Ridens

That's Steve?? In the last panel, he looks like an inflatable date -- there, but not really, shall we say, in the moment. A pity, given the lovely Ms. Zaftig.

Charles Hirst

Boxer shorts. "It don't mean a thing if it ain't got that swing!'

Holly Nelson

Indeed! http://voith-usa.com/ESL/Ray_ESL_Cache/Topics/Cartoons/Far-side/far%20side-dinosaurs%20extinct%20smoking%20cartoons-562%20-.jpg

Alex Mullenix

Ey, I'm Steve-ing over here!

Alex Mullenix

We're going to make up for the time jump by spending months on this wedding. And we're gonna like it.

ValdVin

Wouldn't be the first time in this room, I'm guessing.

Magic Chopstick Games

Naw, those things are easy to fix, almost entirely because they’re so easy to pop loose

Commodore_Perry

A cigarette holder holder, probably

Jose Alfredo Villalobos

Threesome?

Cute_Fuzzy

BOMP

Sean Kinlin

Whereas wearing jockey shorts to a wedding is tight!

Thomas N Wyndham

Wearing comedy boxer shorts to a wedding is great.

Sean Kinlin

They didn't intend to come out of the closet so soon, but it seems like they're okay now that they're out.

BookBeard

OR DOES IT?! Plot twist: Her great, great grandfather, Jebediah Cereal, invented cereal. She is actually Sugar E. Cereal, heiress to the cereal fortune!

Sean Kinlin

Some people wear their hearts on their sleeve...

Sean Kinlin

Aren't cigarettes what really killed the dinosaurs?

Sean Kinlin

She's just putting the 'party' in 'wedding party.'

Doc Gumby

For the short arms, yes.

jonesnori

Friend of Tai's, I *think*. At any rate, she stood up on Tai's side.

Carrie

😏🙂🤘😌🤘

William Cole

Seriously! What did he expect?

Carrie

😲

Carrie

😲

Carrie

😂🤣😂🤣

Miyaa

So Steve and his Special K?

Yelling Bird

Aww yeah! Big girls are fun. :)

Ilana

Ohhhhh thanks for catching that

Miyaa

GDI

MikeT

Sven somehow channeling his inner Sheldon

Yonatan Zunger

I am totally here for watching Sven's gradual growth and transformation. Also for this as-yet-unnamed bridesmaid and Dat Ass.

BookBeard

In fairness, they *are* in the illicit wedding hookup room. Sven is the one breaking the rules by going there alone. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5404

Uniquitous

Aww, I like Sven's moment of being a cinnamon roll there. I can't think of another time when he's smiled over something that was just cute.

BookBeard

Per Dora's comment in #5411, Richard is likely made of Lego, which would make welding inadvisable. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5411

Grace Kieser

Steve and one of Tai's bridesmaids

Frank Wales

I see Steve is wearing his lucky luurve shorts

Amelia Lewis

Is Richard a product of Faye's early (while still working at Coffee of Doom) experiments in sculptural welding? Yes, this is a question for BookBeard. :-)

Killrain42

Damn. Too bad this series is wholesome.

Frank Wales

And a tremendously long cigarette holder, I presume

Ed Marshall

Well that's not cereal.

Green

Sven smiling so fondly at what must be a special toy/friend for him to still have it now is so very sweet and very heartwarming. I feel like we might be seeing a side of him that he very rarely lets other's see.

Dean Reilly

I guess she is going to have to come up with a good explanation for not being in the wedding photos in yesterday's strip! 😂

Kenneth Carlile

Goddamn bifold doors... weakest link, every time.

Austin DeRose

She is so hot I get it steve

Paul Britt

Who is the couple??

Mad Marie

Things that go bomp in the night

Andrea Andrew

Steve’s already moving on to this friend of Dora’s.

Adam with two As, a D, and an M

She is my entire type...

Tyler Laing

gmail said this might be spam

Dave Van Domelen

My spam filter did not like the subject line, apparently.

Rich Holmes

It has its merits.

Doc Gumby

He needs a fedora, a trench-coat and a cigarette.

ValdVin

But not without Sven. This is confusing Richard, as it should.

Commodore_Perry

Dick Rex, Dinosaur Private Investigator

Bill Silvia

I'm sure Richard has seen his share of adult situations.

Kurist Zero

Oof size: Extra Thicc 👌

Doc Gumby

Thus answering the question, "Does Steve eat more than just cereal?"

Richard

Richard is a good name.

Kenneth Harris

For a second... just a second while looking at the thumbnail, I thought that was Faye and I was sure that was not Bubbles...

ValdVin

We don't have a name for Purple Hair Bridesmaid yet, but she really is becoming a big part of this wedding.

Bridgette Ryan

This isn't a cut away to Steve having cereal, but he certainly is having a snack!

It's Lina

Dammit, beat me by --> <-- much

It's Lina

Hey Steve.

TwoRavens

'Ey, Steve!

Vilinda

Awww! Avert your innocent eyes, Richard!

Zig Justice

And now on the hook for closet door repairs

Logan Nix

is Sven healing his inner child with a lego dinosaur? good for him tbh

Tannerbot

Aww, that is really sweet

Michael

I'm sure Richard has seen worse if the rumors are true.

Shawn K. Younkin

Hell yeah Steve! You get some! And you go girl! Get that dick!
