Well, you see, back in the olden times before bathing was invented people frequently developed a fairly pungent fragrance and so it became customary to leave others some personal space in self defense. Nowadays, leaving such space implies the other person smells or is unpleasant to be near and therefore it is only polite not to leave any. Or at least that’s what that nice Warner kid told me.
Not sure on that one, but thanks to my background in Southern Baptist Vacation Bible School and my parent’s passing infatuation with a Ministry to the Deaf, I know that “Create” is a twisting motion with both hands twice. Do it three times, and it becomes “Copulate”. Also, “Lesbian” is making an L with your Forefinger and Thumb of Right hand, then putting the hand to your chin, which looks like a certain action that Lesbians might be known for. Made me giggle.
I immediately read that as “her own stupid skate” and was all set to congratulate you on your punning. Now I’m wondering what the correct protocol here is.
I’m reminded of a scene in Discworld where Angua has to balance her boyfriend and her ex. It includes a scene where she makes a point of sitting down at the spot exactly in the middle of them.
Are you referring to the Fifth Elephant?
In that case, one of them was human, the other a real wolf, which makes balancing things out rather more of a hassle..
…well, kinda. What stuck with me was how LITTLE their respective species mattered for the situation (other than serving as a rather cute metaphor for her in-between-state as a werewolf, and her eventually choosing Carrot/humanity over Gavin/wolf…isity?). That camp fire scene had been exactly the same with two human boys or two wolves (although probably minus the camp fire)
I suspect that Malaya is very insecure in terms of her relative position in the social pecking order. That’s why she’s so acidic and aggressive in putting others down.
In this particular context, she knows that she’s competing with years of close friendship to be Marcie’s #1 companion, so she is particularly harsh with Sal.
“This ledge ain’t big enough for the three of us!”
How this storyline ends.
You’re dethpicable.
New book name?
I wonder if Marcie may disagree!
A Marcie sandwich!
Get your popcorn he-re!
Marcie’s like “Sweet. Two hot ladies fighting over me!”
A flower in each hand
Will deflowering be involved?
…
congratulations on giving Willis his next Slipshine porn idea
Sal already said, she ain’t doing that
She’s thinking “Oh god either I’m really fucked or I’m *really fucked*”
Proper fucked?
As opposed to improper fucked?
Before “ze Germans” get here.
Marcie had a dream like this one time.
personal space, what’s that

Marcie doesn’t know what’s going on, but she likes it.
That does appear to be a hint of a smile on her face.
On my lil phone screen, she looks perturbed. Time will tell.
On my big 27″ monitor she looks perturbed. Like, “Da fuck?”
Yeah, I’m with perturbed here. There’s a smile when she sees Sal, but it’s long gone by the last panel.
Marcie is the best meat for this sandwich.
… hot.
I’m not sure if “I ship it” is quite the right word here, but I would certainly enjoy porn of it.
Sandwiches are for consuming not shipping.
β Μ« β
A sub sandwich might be.
Then how did THOSE get here?
*Points at the premade sandwiches in the vending machine*
By simultaneously doing real violence to the concepts of “food”, “consumption”, and “sandwich”.
Exactly! Theyβre for shipping, not consumption!
Nicely played.
Newman!
If the plan is still ‘pretend to be into Marcie to get Malaya into Marcie’, it’s working.
If not, then this is just plain hilarious. If a bit worrying because it looks like Sal’s backsliding.
It’s still the plan and she still hasn’t told Marcie. What could go wrong?
marcie looks happy, i think(?)
probably not complaining Malaya clings to her more~
Happy to see Sal, less so as the scooting intensifies.
Hovertext is amazing
Is this something I need to Google or would that even help?
Come on people now
Smile on yer brother
Everbody Get Together
Try to love one another right now…
Today’s strip is brought to you by JCPenney.
I’m a bit surprised the company can afford such a sponsorship at this juncture.
scoot scoot scooooot
This is reminding me a lot of high school
skoot skoot skootin dootin

Scoot scoot scoot
Scoot your booty
Scoot you booty!
I wonder what the sign language is for “strap-on”
Well if Sal’s plan to hook them up works, maybe we’ll learn in the slip shine.
I never ‘pegged’ Sal as THAT kind of girl.
I meant Marcie and Malaya but it’s nice to see I’m not the only one whose mind goes to Sal and Marcie I guess. π

“Get U Some!”
(Sorry, I’ve been revisiting the Borderlands games) π
Hey, that’s legit. Feels like everyone’s replaying Borderlands lately, myself included.
Seems appropriate to mention

Woot-woot
THE LESBIAN LOVE SLEUTHS FOR THE WIN! (okay, maybe too early to declare an actual win, but it’s definitely looking good for their plan)
What is love? Scooting.
What is love? Ladies don’t squish me.
(Sorry.)
(Not sorry.)
Oh boy, here we go! And it even appears to be working!
Marcie: here I thought I had to be a dude in a crappy AXE commercial to get this kind of luck.
I like that they’re both about to get knee-deep into some shenanigans that could go horribly wrong. Oh, Walkertons.
And in both cases looking out for those they care about.
Marcie: 100% okay with this development.
This is among the friendliest Malaya and Sal have ever been to each other.
Look, Marcie, they’re getting along! Aren’t you HAPPY, Marcie? π
Aren’t we happy everything is working out so splendidly, MARCIE?
Funnier if you imagine “scoot” as a fart sound
Scooooooooooooot
https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=331
Marcie’s mind: “Either this is bad, or this is reeeeeally good.”
They’re both making the “walking” noise from Worms: Armageddon.
Pretty soon they’ll both be sitting on Marcie’s lap.
Re: Alt text: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma24wmAjRGo
Haha, it’s actually working? Malaya would actually fall for that?
This is the point where Marcie finally snaps and tells them both to grow up already.
She already tried that. That stopped them actively punching each other. I think she’ll have to accept that this is as good as it will get.
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/03-the-butterflies-fly-away/embed-2/
Of course, she has her own stupid stake in this stupid drama
http://www.dumbingofage.com/2015/comic/book-5/03-the-butterflies-fly-away/fuck/
Okay, but consider this – the way that scene ended was adorable. π

I immediately read that as “her own stupid skate” and was all set to congratulate you on your punning. Now I’m wondering what the correct protocol here is.
Look at Marcie’s expression. It is *totally* working.
I’m reminded of a scene in Discworld where Angua has to balance her boyfriend and her ex. It includes a scene where she makes a point of sitting down at the spot exactly in the middle of them.
Are you referring to the Fifth Elephant?
In that case, one of them was human, the other a real wolf, which makes balancing things out rather more of a hassle..
Exactly that scene!
…well, kinda. What stuck with me was how LITTLE their respective species mattered for the situation (other than serving as a rather cute metaphor for her in-between-state as a werewolf, and her eventually choosing Carrot/humanity over Gavin/wolf…isity?). That camp fire scene had been exactly the same with two human boys or two wolves (although probably minus the camp fire)
They’ll end up squeezing Marcie out from between them and then will snuggle shoulder to shoulder.
Looks like Marcie is in a Salaya Sandwich.
Deeeee-lectable! π
panel one
Marcie: Hey cool its my friend Sal
panel two
Marcie: Wait why is Malaya comeing closer?
panel three
Marcie: Wait why is Sal coming closer?
panel four
Marcie: What the? Now Malaya is coming closer?
panel five
Marcie: What the hell? Why are they both scooting so close? They keep this up I’ll be pushed off!
Don’t mess with my Scoot-Scoot
Scooty Puff Jr. suuuuuuuuuuuuuuucks!
Marcie gets that she is a prize, but only because Sal and Malaya are competing, not in her own right.
What is interesting is that Malaya scooted first. Sal sat down next to the edge and was about as far away from Marcie as Malaya by my estimate.
I suspect that Malaya is very insecure in terms of her relative position in the social pecking order. That’s why she’s so acidic and aggressive in putting others down.
In this particular context, she knows that she’s competing with years of close friendship to be Marcie’s #1 companion, so she is particularly harsh with Sal.
I really doubt that Marcie enjoys being the center of a frenemies sandwich.
Check her expression progression. Ends on a bemused smirk.
Next week on Slipshine hot all girl 3 way?
Tomorrow’s just going to be them rubbing their butts directly on her, isn’t it?
well i dont know about sal but didnt marcie have a crush on mayala?
Marcie: I wanna hit that!
Sal: Ah’d love to punch ‘er too.
There are some Patreon bonus strips that further explore Marcie’s crush.
Keep scooting on rough concrete like that, and there will be no fabric left on their respective butts.
Eh, Sal’s wearing motorcycle gear. She’ll be fiiiiiine.
seriously though, that is a great way to wreck your clothes.
Interesting. Sal’s wearing gloves again.
Marcie: “Huh, this is new.”
But yeah, Sal needs to let Marcie in on the plan at least.
