I’ve gotten drunk with my parents, and had fun! But boy, do I know other people’s parets with whom I wouldn’t dare to…. Even without the fear that they might be getting their hands on my access panel o__O
You had to say things like that, didn’t you? I’m curious about the mechanics of the Golem Girls, but now I’m imaging getting drunk with Bud and getting into her access panel…
Realizing you have “access panels” and have a totally different personality when drunk does bring up questions of enthusiastic consent.
Nice spin on the creator/created relationship. The real challenge on creators is to remember that, when successful, they have created neither children nor toys.
Shall I compare thee to a summer’s day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling BUDS of MAY,
And summer’s lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimmed,
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance, or nature’s changing course untrimmed:
But thy eternal summer shall not fade,
Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow’st,
Nor shall death brag thou wander’st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou grow’st,
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
I had a friend in high school who, every year, would go to a Halloween party dressed as the black mage from Final Fantasy. Every year the hat got bigger. It eventually reached the point where the hat wouldn’t fit through doors. I want to see his hat and May’s hat duke it out. Ultimate hat fight.
So golems can get drunk because when May handed over the formula for making her into one, she made sure that it was part of the programming.
The planet may have been saved/destroyed because of her fondness for the bottle. Not the typical flaw in mad scientists.
Maybe Lanthas had just invented fermentation when she was a teen, and it stuck in her mind as “the cool new idea” and so she incorporated it into every design.
That makes as much sense as anything and more than most ideas. I’ve always wondered how the GGG can get tipsy, there’s no biology there anymore, after all…
Her prototype golem was Tepoz, who’s got many powers over alcohol. (Aztec god of pulque, remember?) Only now does it occur to me to think that they may have been designed into him from the start rather than acquired along the way.
You know, that never crossed my mind. Every once in a while someone here will point out the blindingly obvious, and I am astonished that I never saw it.
Tepoz is a made thing. How the hell did he get control over alcohol?
Until today I never asked the question either. But it does sound plausible that Mayahuel may have included those powers intentionally. We’ve never seen Tepoz breathe fire like the Golem Girls; it’s reasonable the prototype was set up with different powers than the weapon of mass destruction…
its possible tepoz can teleport alcohol silimar to Monica’s poits – not actually create it.
It is possible he was just created to see if May could make someone who could poit.
Or well.. is Tepoz a glyph reader??
Nibbling on baked goods, watching the beans bake,
All of those demons locked in turmoil,
Strumming my six string, in front of the cafe,
Smell that coffee, it’s beginning to boil.
Wasting away again in Margaritaville,
Searching for my lost artifact of time,
Some people claim that there’s a golem to blame,
But I know it’s the poits damn fault.
Don’t know the reason that I stayed here all season,
With nothing to show but this brand new sphinx,
But it’s a real beauty, a native american cutie,
How she just got here I haven’t a clue.

Poited out my tube top, nearly caught by a shock jock
Cut my hair and had to cruise on back home,
But there’s booze in the blender,
And soon it will render,
That frozen concoction that helps me hang on.

Uh oh. W, I think you’ve just introduced a very dangerous analogy here. I remember that the toro in question swallowed a box full of pistol bullets, and began shooting away at Bugs via his horns.
Now, if May is wearing the hat and is being cast as Bugs, then Bud must be the bull… and she’s just ingested (or had-installed-by-May) something a whole lot more dangerous than a simple box of pistol bullets.
If Bud suddenly brows a couple of horns, I think we’re all in trouble…
Meh, I’ve seen bigger. One was a Yard, but it was 5 inches thick(12.7cm) mixed with a half bottle of tequila, the whole thing was about a gallon of fluid.
Call me, OctoDude. I just donated $20 to Paul on my Visa through PayPal. If he checks to see who sent that amount at about 115am, it was me. So I ask again, OctoDude, have YOU paid?
Poor Bud… I think I’d feel about as uncomfortable as she does. XD
as uncomfortable as getting Drunk with your parents.
PBH

*now where did I see that jar…*
You had to say things like that, didn’t you? I’m curious about the mechanics of the Golem Girls, but now I’m imaging getting drunk with Bud and getting into her access panel…
Not that that would be bad…
Ah, caught up through the archives at last. Hooray!
And poor Bud. I can just imagine May regaling her with tales of “when I was young and partying with the boys.”
Worse, she could tell Jin those stories…
Bud looks nervous, as if May is going to try for the access panels again…
BTW, did they fire up the galactic oscillator or what?

That is clearly not May’s first. It might not even be her first pitcher.
Hmmm… I wonder where Tepoz is… have YOU seen him recently?!
Bud is looking like that ’cause she found a note in her glass:
“Help! I’m trapped in a margarita factory”
(virtual beef jerky to the one that gets the ref)
Darn it! I know I’ve heard that before; I just can’t recall where.
“Help! I’m trapped in a fortune cookie factory”
Old-as-dirt ref that can no longer be confidently traced back to a single original source.
“I’m trapped in a margarita factory!
.
.
.
“Do not shend help!”
Hint: it was a peanut butter and jelly sandwich factory…
Not since it was revealed he’s Nudge’s ‘poit’ man.
I wonder how those two connected…
They’re getting Buffeted!
…Some people claim there’s a woman to blame
But I know
It’s completely May’s fault.
Enough Margaritas and the whole world’s your friend!
Bud was worried when Jin got drunk…
mm now those glasses are the size i would use when drinking cocktails

(So people know where it came from.)
That hat is terrifying.
I swear it’s getting bigger.
“The Hat That Ate Minneapolis”
I had a friend in high school who, every year, would go to a Halloween party dressed as the black mage from Final Fantasy. Every year the hat got bigger. It eventually reached the point where the hat wouldn’t fit through doors. I want to see his hat and May’s hat duke it out. Ultimate hat fight.
It’s a hat? I thought a giant mushroom was trying to eat her head….
…..What? In this comic, it could happen…..
I like the way the line of Bud’s hair continues the line of the hat.
Relax Bud, I’d LOVE to drink marnigritas with May…
It’s not the marnigritas…I swear.
That’s what happens when you turn on bold and turn off italics…
Ah hah!
Put those parts back on the elephant!
(Took me like fourteen hours {some of it sleeping, of course} to remember…)
Ha-Haa! I’m not the only Nesmith fan in the house…
I see.

May enjoys her cocktail hour! =D

maybe she wanted to create her personal bartender?
Sorry if I’m the only one asking, but what’s that thing behind them?
o.o;
Mayahuel’s thermonuclear hat.
Good point. Maybe the hat IS the galactic oscillator.

Bud Fanboi- Beware there are parrot heads in the area.
Eh! Parrot-Heads are easy to spot, and I’ve got a good scope…
Full of Win, Fanboi.
I DO SO believe Jimmy would approve. Nicely done. Now when will we see the video on YOUTUBE?
Me singing, let alone in public or on youtube would fall under violations of the Geneva convention.
Beat me to, ya bum!
Excellent work though, hard to hold it agin’ ya.
To be fair I couldn’t believe it wasn’t done and was sure someone would have beaten me to it by the time I figured out what to do and click post.
+1!!!
Reminds me of this.
Ha-Haa! Puts a whole new color scheme for the hat in my fevered brain!
Uh oh. W, I think you’ve just introduced a very dangerous analogy here. I remember that the toro in question swallowed a box full of pistol bullets, and began shooting away at Bugs via his horns.

If Bud suddenly brows a couple of horns, I think we’re all in trouble…
If Bud gets horny, any unaccompanied male at the Cerberus Club is in danger.
If those margarita glasses are to scale, then those glasses are huge!
(And what about the hands holding them?)
You wouldn’t hold hands with Bud?
Meh, I’ve seen bigger. One was a Yard, but it was 5 inches thick(12.7cm) mixed with a half bottle of tequila, the whole thing was about a gallon of fluid.
I’ve seen glasses as big (or bigger) in Atlanta-area Mexican restaurants.
Bud has that charming look someone would have if they were talking to their pilot that was drunk on a flight.
ooOOoooH! Spooky!

HATZILLA!!!!
History shows again and again how hats will point out the folly of May.
Scale thought:
Isn’t one of Bud’s defining characteristics supposed to be her long, racehorse legs?
Granted, May is wearing what appear to be 2-3 inch heels, but her legs are almost the same scale as Bud’s, while the rest of her body is shorter.
Just something I noticed in the pinup.
Someone please call me when a story arc begins.
We’ll call you right after your check arrives. You ARE paying to read this, right?
Are you? I have recommended it to my FB friends and voted for it, which is some support. Of course money is always good, too.
Call me, OctoDude. I just donated $20 to Paul on my Visa through PayPal. If he checks to see who sent that amount at about 115am, it was me. So I ask again, OctoDude, have YOU paid?
High five Octodude! You managed to sucker another one into donating.
*high fives*
