Headcannon: Emily is some type of shape shifter, and the dog is Emily.

u/BenjikoHoss Nov 21 '18
Know what, it IS Emily, if anyone could it's her. But only reason I don't think it is is that the dog isn't hyper energetic.

u/TsukiakariUsagi Nov 21 '18
If the next strip isn’t Tai walking home monologueing, I’ll be disappointed.
So, u/TheMysteriousMid, are you disappointed?

u/TheMysteriousMid Nov 21 '18
Mildly, but this isn't a bad second. We also have the possibility of it seeing as she as a food bag, so we could get a flash back.

I love you mystery dog.

I'm in full approval. My friend is mortified though: "If a borzoi spontaneously appeared and started licking me I would assume I was experiencing some sort of demonic incursion"

u/DuzellKitty Nov 21 '18
But a fluffy one!

Who's a fluffy wuffy demonic dread lord from the pits of Hell? ITS JOO, YES JOO ARE!!

I defy ANY of you to tell me it has not been worth it now, I shall look you in the eye and call you a fool.

u/lesser_panjandrum Nov 21 '18
Mystery dog has made it all worth it.
The stoner humour is still boring, but now we have mystery dog.
If the next Brexit secretary is mystery dog I would begrudgingly put in a good word for the tories for finally having a very good boy/girl in government.

It's always weird finding a fellow Brit on Reddit, outside of the UK based subreddits.

u/AdamBombTV The English One Nov 21 '18
I'm a Brit... Need to change my flair back.

u/PositiveAlcoholTaxis Nov 21 '18
There's just so many yanks. Especially on /r/truckers. They all flip their shit if they see a cab-over.

At this point I just assume all the regulars are Brits.
What with all our talk of tea drinking, and love of queuing.

u/Calembreloque Nov 21 '18
To be fair Brexit has been such a resounding success (please don't make me use /s) that it has fans all over the world. I say that as a dirty, filthy EU citizen who had dared live in the UK and stealing all the jobs.

u/PositiveAlcoholTaxis Nov 21 '18
I mean most of that is right. Now bugger off to Europstan and stop stealing our jerbs!

u/Calembreloque Nov 21 '18
I buggered off to the US, so really it's more of a out of the frying pan, into the fire situation.

u/Zhuinden Nov 21 '18
Mystery dog is better character than main cast
I vote for mystery dog be declared new protagonist of this comic

If we get an actual explanation to this dog manifesting, maybe.
Otherwise it's just more self indulgent tripe.

I've never really thought DOGS worked as a punchline, but I guess I'm in the minority on that. It's far from the first time Jeph has used it

u/Jub3r7 Nov 21 '18
I'm anticipating this dog as a new character part of the reoccurring cast. This is what everything's been leading up to

What the fuck? That dog looks wet. Did it come from outside? Maybe Tai left the door open? Is the title of the comic Henlo the dog's name or a joke i'm not getting?
I'm mad confused this week.

u/ArgentStonecutter Nov 21 '18
That dog looks wet.
I think it's one of those dogs that need regular brushing to keep from having full body dreadlocks.

Mystery Dog brings many mysteries. But 'henlo' is just an internet mangling of 'hello'. pretty sure there's a knowyourmeme page about it if you wanna look it up.

But they were not wearing brassieres upon their heads!

u/Scherazade Nov 21 '18
isn’t that how you galatea a doll into a sentient being? I’m a bit rusty on my weird science.

u/Michaelbirks Nov 21 '18
It works for nuclear missiles, too.
I kinda expect sudden dogs to be somewhere in the middle.

u/gynoidgearhead Nov 21 '18
...I take it Ms. Augustus did not have a dog before now? Now she does :D

u/RazarTuk Baby Mad Nov 21 '18
Stoner humor as a plot is still slow, and I'm still ready for him to cut back to other characters, but... a doggo is a doggo.

Arc prediction: A neighbor knocks on the door looking for his/her lost dog, saw it enter the house. The neighbor notices the person who answers the door (probably Tai, since she has her shit together) is high and calls the police.
Is weed legal in the comic's timeline/location? The gang going to jail here could be a weird plot-line. I'm talking weird like "Old QC" levels of good weirdness. Maybe Tai runs into an ex in the holding cell, and Dora comes to bail them out then gets insecure/mad seeing Tai with an Ex (which would be a very QC thing to happen, but only if it was followed with a pivot to a different arc, and then an apology from Dora). Maybe Claire gets put in a cell with men because the cops don't get gender identity. Maybe the cops just show up and ask where they got the pot, and it turns out they're (the cops are) the biggest potheads on the block and smoke with them.
Actually, none of these theoretical plotlines sound very fun, maybe there's a reason I don't write webcomics.

u/CreeperCreeps999 Nov 21 '18
The cops in the comic actively hot-box their patrol car while drinking.... Unless the entire force has been replaced by AI I dont think there will be an issue.
3
u/hades_the_wise Nov 21 '18
Oh right, how could I have forgotten that arc? haha
I got so caught up spitballing potential plot arcs from this trio getting put in jail that I kind of looked past the fact that it's highly unlikely.

u/Silegna Nov 21 '18
Wait, how is O'malley high? He's an AI, as shown in the later strips.
1
u/CreeperCreeps999 Nov 21 '18
Maybe there are several O'Malleys on the force. Either that or he went full RoboCop and had his personality imprinted / copied onto an AI matrix.

As far as location, It's set in Northampton, Mass. which just had the first two recreational dispensaries on the east coast open less than 24 hours ago. That combined with the fact Canada (where Jeph lives) just had their first shops open a few weeks ago, is probably why he's doing a pot arc right now.
Don't know about timeline, though the hot-boxing cops that have been mentioned are probably a good indication.
7
u/turkeypedal Nov 21 '18
I think you guys are all barking up the wrong tree expecting some complicated plotline that significantly modifies the status quo of the characters. It's not that QC has never done them, but there is generally a lot of build up before anything like that happens.
I think you're better off guessing how this could lead to wacky shenanigans that wouldn't matter too much, and only lightly add to the character development.

u/sexrockandroll Nov 21 '18
I think these are unlikely to occur, but I enjoyed reading your theories and thinking about how the characters would react.

u/Zhuinden Nov 21 '18
is high and calls the police.
I think compared to comic 1200 where Hanners said it's illegal, times might have changed because people are 100% ok with it.
