Truly a great comic, I always look forward to it! The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.226.10.98 (talk • contribs) 09:19, 2004 December 10.


The comic's author has requested this article's expansion. Brace yourselves! As of the writing of this note, four editors have participated: Kevinsane, adding the awards, the inelegant but vitally determined anon adding most of the new content, with an IP of 72.18.188.69, CyberSkull, linking and styling, and yours truly, shoring up and making good. Of course all built on what many other editors had put there before.

Don't you feel warm now, Adrian? --Kizor 03:14, 20 October 2005 (UTC)


I've moved this part from the Laurie section here, considering it inappropriate for the article but still valid content.

"For reasons unknown, she ran away from home (and Ship). She was rescued by Marty (see Marty's section), at which point a mutual relationship gradually started. She never saw Ship again, until after Marty died and she was pregnant with Katie."

My reasoning for this is that we don't know enough to establish a coherent timeline and are largely just stating single events, which is rather pointless (I feel the same about Katie's crush on Little Charlie, btw, it looks like an one-off joke rather than a plot point). The Ship gap can't have been longer than a couple of years, either, and the part of Marty's section that's being referred to is no longer there. Of course these are just opinions. --Kizor 23:01, 8 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] New confusion regarding Ship

A new level of confusion has been added recently, as Ship has been seen to be in two completely different places at once, talking to both Katie and Laurie.[1]

I think that refers to this comic. Can we really assume that those panels happen at the same time? Laurie and Katie are in separate panels. I think a more interesting observation from that comic, is that Katie apparently went out the window and her (/their) scarf went through a Post Office Box, although not wikipedia material. 131.155.229.224 16:07, 19 November 2005 (UTC)

[belatedly:] Hel-LOO! Ship is an IMAGINARY FRIEND. Admittedly he seems to have some kind of objective reality within the world of the strip, but that's no reason why he has to be constrained by the boringly restrictive laws of physics!!!Lee M 23:16, 28 April 2006 (UTC)
[also belated:] Hi! :) I'm not questioning whether Ship can do it. I'm questioning whether it's a valid and likely conclusion. Please note that I'm not arguing this from Ships world, but from ours, where panels in a comic almost always indicate some passage in time. Passage in place (and not time) is usually indicated with an extra box with "meanwhile" or something in it, right? (BTW, I finally got myself a Wikipedia account.) V 22:28, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
I also didn't believe that was what truly was happening in the strip. I had just thought that he may have walked back to the house and talked to Laurie. Personally, I don't even think the idea of him being in two places at once fits "the feel" of the comic. If it came down to a vote, I would say take it out.Sir John Sack-and-Sugar 04:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] where does adrian live?

does anybody know that by chance, since it doesn't appear at his website?

[edit] More than cute

The article contains the quote, ...on May 1, 2006, The campaign was ended and the site got a brand new facelift. The advertising stoped and the logo was dumped.

Now the obvious thought I have is that it isn't May 1st yet, so what's this supposed to be saying? --Blue Dream 13:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Gay Theory"

The following was added by User:SU182.

On April 27, 2006, Adrian released a comic that showed a little somthing extra, The comic featured them thinking about what to do with their current situations, Then near the last panel, they said that She would hate it and hugged each other and said they loved them, This revealed that they truley loved each other and therefore they are gay, This means that they may enter marrage as one.

This is called unsourced original research, and I'm sorry, we do not allow it in Wikipedia. If you have a theory, write about it in a blog or forum, not this encyclopedia. –Abe Dashiell (t/c) 05:52, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

For heavens sake, man, they're MOM AND DAUGHTER! I bet you love your parents, and nobody calls you gay because you love the one that's the same gender as you! The idea makes no sense, it's family love...you have a sick mind. No wonder your post got deleted. --Wack'd About Wiki 15:50, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Marty's Death

'The circumstances of his death are as of yet unrevealed, although a recent comic alludes to a car accident. [14]'

Ok, I read that comic... and I do not believe that it has anything to do with Marty's death. It doesn't mention Marty at all, and it is very reasonable to take it that Laurie is just, flat out, afraid of vehicles. Ideas? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Xthepicturex (talk • contribs) 22:42, 14 December 2006 (UTC).

Seconded. Taking it out entirely sounds good to me. --Kizor 02:11, 15 December 2006 (UTC)
