    Nora looks so serious in the last panel.

    I don't much care for nuts in brownies at all.


    And i especially wouldn't particularly want pistachios...


    Walnuts, thanks.

    • Chris W. 13 years ago archived

      I prefer my brownies without any nuts at all.


      Although I've never tried them with pistachios, so that might be good. I can't recall whether I've ever had pistachios.

        I normally dislike nuts in brownies, but for pistachios, I make an exception.

          Any favorite recipes? I came looking to see if one was linked.

      Why would you want to?

    • Sturzkampf 13 years ago archived

      Had to Google that one. Couldn't work out why you were so keen to keep sending stuff by sea. Haven't been so confused since Kate said she was making a point of including Proof Of Concepts in her comics.

    You got me curious too, so I had a look at wikipedia- apparently brownies were a US invention around the end of the 19th century.

  • Sally 13 years ago archived

    Nora the brownie inventor would be amazing. And, um, interestingly paradoxical. Or as the Doctor would put it; wibbly wobbly, timey wimey...

    You mean, Grand Hierachy of Things All Non-Time-Travellers Want To Do But Never End Up Doing.


    I don't think I've seen a single proper time travel story that involved killing Hitler, it's just what everyone SAYS you should do if you ever got it in real life.


    Stable time-loops are a crapshoot though I suppose.

      I knew someone who was going to write that story but he died too soon. Maybe it's a cursed plot?

    Chocolate pistachio? Damn it, now I have to try that. Last thing I made was chocolate-pepper cake. :D

  • Gillsing 13 years ago archived

    Chocolate and pistachio? She's really into that 'green and brown' combination, isn't she?

  • Me-me 13 years ago archived

    Farnsworth tried, I suppose, but as you say, missed.


    But I haven't seen C&C:RA so I can't comment. Limits of empiricism, innit.

  • David Argall 13 years ago archived

    I suspect she is confused about what Alexa wants, and more than a little worried it will cause her trouble. Some form of "I don't understand" at least allows one to stall, and in some cases, get out from under.

  • Volk0v 13 years ago archived

    That last panel.

    Best Panel.

  • FlyingGekko 13 years ago archived

    Awwwwwwhahahahah... the maid lady is so ridiculously cute!

  • Kate A 13 years ago archived

    It is indeed!

    That "someone in the latter half of the 20th century" is Albert Einstein in 1946.;-)

    Now kiss.


    ... what?

  • I don't want to pick a name 11 years ago archived

    While I imagine this may have been answered in later pages... if she's from later than our regular cast, getting a real strong feeling Nora's family tree includes Sid and Harry.

  • Ilmari 9 years ago archived

    Chocolate and pistache... yum. I have to try that some time.

    As it happens, I'm just now snacking on some white-chocolate-and-almond brownies (or rather, "blondies") that I baked the other day. :-)
