Same.

Carrie

I want him to draw this for a comic in the upcoming story arc of "the shower".

enchantedsleeper

Maaaaybe it would be a good idea to give Liz a more defined job role first... Then she'll know what she's having the ideas *for*, rather than going straight back to bashing her head against a metaphorical wall x3

Zak Reichle

Is Liz also related to Ego the living planet, just like Peter Quill ?

Bagge

Marten is a good dad

Diptych

My own treacherous brain uses the shower as an excuse to dredge up painful memories or imagine uncomfortable conversations.

Stephen Wells

If total ego death isn't on the cards, can Liz have a little ego death, as a treat?

Stephen Wells

Forty-five minutes later, inside the bathroom: Claire, Moray and Evan are giving Liz a head-to-toe spa pampering experience. Even if Jeph doesn't draw it, I can already SEE it :)

Like, kid, it's OK! You will be way, way more productive and useful and above all HAPPY if you just have fun in the space with a few other people who also like cosmology... like, help edit a book for someone. Work an educational campaign. Swap ideas with others for a bit. And maybe something will click once you've spent a few years in the field getting real experience. But if not, who cares?

Skeeter Zymbal

I just want to tell her that ideas don't come out of nowhere, and more importantly, nobody should expect or desire someone who can't even rent a car to make significant contributions to a field that is the product of the smartest people of the past two centuries.

Jax

Turns out Evan needed to charge and the QI charger is actually in the shower stall.

Jere

I see it now, she is nude in the shower, face contorted in rage as she grumbles "its not helping" then, she has an idea, and as she starts to write it down, her arms pop off

Robert Heinig

Pity Claire is only brushing teeth in there

Shit I did forget to buy shampoo again. Dammit

BookBeard

I do a lot of thinking in the shower. I mean, mostly I'm thinking "fuck, I forgot to buy shampoo again", but it still counts.

Dallas Hicks

I would suspect over 90% of the best ideas in the world occurred in the shower.

Green

Y'put on some chill synthwave, you get on in there, you eat an orange, and you immediately start visualizing all your walls as fluorescent ocean murals

Brian Bailie

Liz in panel 3 just might be my new favorite cartoon face. She’s so adorable right there!

Holly Nelson

Will work fine in a ziplock bag. 😃

Doc Gumby

Friday cliffhanger

ellafine

Still rude and self-absorbed, at least she's on brand lol

Boots McGoot

That's the kindest way he could have said that. Emotional intelligence champion Marten Reed

Chris Crowther

I can think of worse experiences to have in the shower.

Salodni Ikkis

She's gonna be so pissed if the shower actually helps

Ian MacLean

It's not about the shower. She needs to read Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi.

Alex Borders

Douglas Adams famously had many of his best ideas in the bath. He would regularly lock himself in for an hour or more, much to the despair of his flatmate, who really needed to pee.

Michael Boettger

Well, leave the top down if you have a convertible. Two birds/one stone.

Steve H

Just don’t shower while driving.

Fart Captor

No doubt that's why she needs a shower so bad :V

Wayne Farmer

Maybe Liz got into cutting, and followed up with poor hygiene. Self-destructive.

Wayne Farmer

Well, Liz is a little stinker.

BobC

I tried writing in the shower. Once. My tablet wasn't waterproof...

PixelThis

Gotta figure that was a design feature

Sleepy John

I hope her arms don't short out.

Marty BlackEagle

thanks

Joseph Bonnar

I love it when Jeph trolls us all. :)

...it is

Gabriel Burns

It's already been established that people sometimes get amputations just so they can get the high-tech prosthetics that exist in this universe, so unless otherwise stated, that seems the most natural assumption.

LH

i don't think they do much driving in Cubetown.

Holly Nelson

Def not a risk I would take. Marten would LOOOOOM!

Michael Keogh

Take your time Claire, and leave the door open!

Marty BlackEagle

will we discover what happen to her original arms?

jimbo

best ideas come when showering or driving!

William Cole

I call it the Genius Machine. http://nedroid.com/comic/driven-to-greatness/

That Blair Guy

My best ideas come from walking the dog.

Ben French

Get clean Liz. Can't wait to see how this goes, see you all on Saturday. Side note, love her face in the 3rd panel...that there is gremlin contemplation.
