John Wedoff

Not too old for bouncy castles until the joints start to go. (I'm too old for bouncy castles)

Tannerbot

Bouncy castles and alcohol seem like a terrible idea. Right up cubetowns alley.

RobertC

Go karts and bounce houses.. both are needed

Michael

Marten needs to admit he wants that castle too and you know Claire wants it the most

Pope Discordius

That look on Martin's face in the last panel...

Michael Boettger

Best opt for the power wash/ disinfectant option.

Andrew

Why is this ball pit full of cubes?

Jay

So she was 17 when she came to Cubetown. Old enough to be tired of being called a "child prodigy" but young enough for it to be technically accurate.

jonesnori

I think I'd prefer a tea party. With yummy pastries and little sandwiches.

Ashley Thomas

is the drinking age in Canada 18? but yes woo party. nothing could go wrong there.

Kyle in Orbit

Bouncy castle on an artificial island in the Atlantic... I have seen how wind plays with bouncy castles anywhere near a beach, so that would be hard nope for me haha

Zak Reichle

I had to look it up because 19 is not old enough to drink here and at first I was confused(Missouri is 21 for drinking and marijuana), it appears the drinking age is 19 where Cubetown is located (I think?)

Sean Kinlin

The bouncy castle will just be made of a bunch of Morays.

Inahc

18 in Alberta (the Texas of Canada), 19 everywhere else

Lee McDonough

I'm with Liz on this one. Bouncy castle , never to old.

mooviies

18 in Quebec too. Didn't even know other provinces were 19.

Nick Barker

Is CubeTown in international waters?

Shey

Alberta, Manitoba and Québec.

Zak Reichle

Moray using the bouncy castle would be.... Interesting 🧐

Daniel S

Sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And a bouncy castle.

Mad Marie

Fill the bouncy castle with pressurized booze instead of air.

Captain Button

"Bouncy castle on an artificial island in the Atlantic..." in a town full of unrestrained technical geniuses. I've got a bad feeling about this...

Carin Maja Brooks

I've been too old for bouncy castles since before I was old enough for them, then

Captain Button

Song here is "Party Out Of Bounds" by the B-52s.

Karvil

Yup, 19 in Nova Scotia (and most of Canada)

Mad Marie

like she said, recreational cannabis.

Mad Marie

yeah! power wash that castle with vodka!

Joel Bateman

Never too old for a bouncy castle!

Paul Zagieboylo

At least at Cubetown there is essentially no risk of people not making bad choices; alcoholic beverages and recreational cannabis seem to be entirely optional.

Mad Marie

“Tiiiiiinflatable roof! (rusted)”

Rob McBobson

If it's party time, you need a rapping dog. And if you don't get that reference, it's proof that Jesus loves you.

Vilinda

You're never too old for a bouncey castle!

Pxtl

Iirc the drinking age is 18 in Quebec too... But realistically in Quebec the drinking age is just a suggestion.

Dr. Allegedly

Adult bouncy castles are a thing and they are great

Shawn K. Younkin

Worse case- it blows up! Best case- it BLOWS THE FUCK UP!!

Zak Reichle

GREMLIZABETH WILL NEVER STOP SHOUTING!

Mad Marie

(on the back, does it say “stood”?)

Shawn K. Younkin

Never too old for a bouncy castle and bad decisions!!

Captain Button

I saw that Terry Gilliam cartoon on Monty Python!

Rosilin

Mixing alcohol, bouncy castles, and adults, is how my spouse ended up getting his ribs broken years ago. The crack was so loud all of us outside of the castle heard it and collectively winced. 🙃

Mad Marie

I’m with you, Lenore.

Mad Marie

@Nick: doubtful. It’s possible CubeTown has some special legal designation that allows it to function as a sovereign state, but I believe it’s too close to Canada to qualify as international waters.

Sean Kinlin

And what words are under "stood"?

fluffy

I'm mostly concerned about what kind of custom mad-science bouncy castle the researchers have put together, like it's a bouncy castle made out of actual stone

Mordaeus

Alcohol and bouncy castles sounds like it'd result in having to clean up unspeakable atrocities.

MikeT

She may not have partied, but she knows the base elements of one perfectly

Mad Marie

(searches for a schoolhouse rock video on osteoporosis)

David Pablo Cohn

Damn it. I now need a t-shirt that says "Cranky Science Goblin."

Yonatan Zunger

I also love how over time more and more people I know show up here :)

Mad Marie

Hydrogen, Carbon, Oxygen

Brian Rice

Yes... but BOUNCY stone. Physics-defying stone!

Mad Marie

(C2 H5 OH) + (C21 H30 O2)

spectria.limina

Marten doesn't know about the drinking age in Canada does he?

Populuxe

Bad choices AND a bouncy castle? I wanna go…

Diptych

Liz's doesn't have the writing on the back - that only appears on the larger sizes - they have 'stood' on the shoulders of giants.

Brad Power

19 is old enough for both alcohol and cannabis anywhere in Canada. Cubetown is in Halifax.

Joseph Bonnar

Me too, but then, I run an ambulance service. *bwahahaha*

OldGoat

Unless I'm mistaken Halifax is a city in Nova Scotia. Cubetown is off the coast of NS. The Sisters of Perpetual Penitence who taught me about rulers and applying them to knuckles for insignificant infractions had their HQ there.

Orion Rhine

As I have told my nieces many times: you are never too old for a bouncy castle. They stop complaining when I use my superior weight to launch them.

Ed Marshall

Plot twist: Moray *is* the bouncy castle

Daniel Farnitano

Does this call for the Arbor Day banner or is that only for celebrating someone getting laid?

Sean Kinlin

In Cubetown, ambulance chases you...

Mark N

Not our universe. That may be one of the many differences. Besides, the drinking age in Canada is 19 except in a few spots where it is 18.

Sean Kinlin

I tried to send a message about bad decisions to the people in the castle, but it bounced.

OldGoat

Liz seems quite keen on getting some first hand experience with alcohol, recreational cannabis, and the exercise of poor judgment.

Dr. Otter

Non-Newtonian stone!

Zig Justice

I hope the 1:00 pm explosion will be in attendance

Zig Justice

I think you mean "Ardor Day" banner, amirite?

Tudza

Bouncy castle and high winds can also be a problem.

Miyaa

So you do have experience with having/making chemistry.

Miyaa

19 is also the legal age to gamble in Ottawa, though I suspect gambling will become a national thing in Canada.

Dissociated Women Incorporated

I’m roughly twice her age, and the concept “too mature for a bouncy castle” sounds nonsensical to me

Bagge

Bouncy castle through the ages: - Forbidden delight - BOUNCY FUN! - Bouncy fun but... ironically? - Too cool for bouncy fun :-( - Bouncy fun but... ironically? <- Liz is here - BOUNCY FUN! - Bouncy fu... ack, my hip! - Forbidden delight

TwoRavens

I've been to a party that had alcohol and a bouncy castle. It was pretty fun.

Joseph Ascanio

You are legit never too old for a bouncy castle

Todd Ellner

True maturity comes when you say "I am too mature for a bouncy castle, but I am going to play in the bouncy castle because I want to."

Thisguy

Yep. Jeph was half moving Marten to Cubetown because he wasn't fun and didn't do much anymore. Then as this arc goes on, he realised he'd actually made Marten fun again and wants to write more. Go figure.. I mean, I WANT to see more storylines about Cubetown, sounds an interesting place.

Todd Ellner

MAD magazine said maturity came when you stopped pretending you were buying it for your kids.

Thisguy

You're never too old for bouncy castles... In spirit. In body, you usually get tired and start having chest pains after 5 mins.

Armcannon Gaming

I love how you've been writing Martin lately.

Wednesday

Ah, yes, Canadian fashion staple Doots, known for their Pooter sweats collection.

YsabetJustYsabet

Hmmm... given the current info, I'd bet that parties in Cubetown fall into the following four categories: A) Lowkey/relaxed/quiet B) Unbelievably awkward C) Call the police, riot/parade in progress D) Space- and/or time-warping event with possible lasting repercussions **cue VWORP VWORP VWORP sound effects**

YsabetJustYsabet

I'm probably too old but also too old to care. Bring 'em!

YsabetJustYsabet

There is absolutely no reason at all why a party can't have that in a room specifically set aside for it; man, I can think of SO MANY parties in the past that I would've enjoyed way more if they'd had that. Fantastic idea!

YsabetJustYsabet

Or "Don't Threaten Me With A Good Time" by Panic! At The Disco. (SPOILER: Martin & Claire wake up afterwards to find they've been legally married at some point during the proceedings. How to tell Dora and Tai? --J/K)

Fart Captor

I see. So Gremlizabeth is baby AND smol. I figured to work here she'd be like twenty-two at the least 🤔

Fart Captor

A bouncy castle that's just a big heap of Moray's

William Davy

SCP-29654 is a Euclid class temporal anomaly at [[location expunged]] and presents as an ongoing party at [[REDACTED]] that was started 16 years ago to celebrate the arrival of a new ice cream machine on location. Within the party, only 15 minutes have elapsed since the start. Currently the source of the anomaly is unknown as all foundation research personnel sent in have yet to return.

YsabetJustYsabet

**nods** Like that exactly, yes, though possibly with road flares.

el_zilcho

You know there’s something you should know, so I’m gonna tell you so! Don’t sweat it, forget it, enjoy the show!

Ben French

I say this at 31...you're never too old for a bouncy castle. Also, hold up a sec, HOW DID THIS SMOL CHILD GET DUAL PHDS AT 17?!?!?

jonesnori

Right? Charming hats optional.

Todd Ellner

Enough joints and I will try the bouncy castle

Diptych

Bouncy bouncy, oo such a good time...

legobil

I first read joints as the non-recreational non-smokable kind, and thought the implied high age referred to the other, kind of bad joints.

legobil

Important question: Will North Hampton people be invited to this party?

legobil

I did not know the chemical formula for cannabidiol and I am surprised it only has carbon/oxygen/hydrogen in it. I did know the one for ethanol.

JCfromNC

Having never gotten even one of my own, I have no real idea, but perhaps two related fields so that it was easier to pursue both at once?

JCfromNC

Well, there ya go -- alcohol, bouncy castles and bad decisions all checked. You're only missing the recreational cannabis.

JCfromNC

Did you ever see the show "Eureka"? Now imagine that cast, but with less restraint.

Yelling Bird

NOBODY is too mature for a bouncy castle. They might say they are, but they are the ones that need it more than anyone.

Duncan

Shoes all in a line?

Duncan

I'm imagining that pronounced with 1.5 seconds between "North" and "Hampton"

Leak

Nepotism? Armed robbery? Aliens? (I bet it was aliens...)

Mark N

Her requests make me wonder, how many of the beings at Cubetown are actually biological humans.

legobil

Hah. As a non-native American I’m not even sure what my mistake was. I assume it is supposed to be Northampton? I dunno 😅

Chris Crowther

I like how Jeph gives us the answer to us trying to work out how old she is in the previous comic thread.

Brain ex Machina

Oooh boy... Bouncey castle with AI + bad decisions (think Melon) = very bad decisions... "And we interrupt our current program to talk about Cubetown, where an AI bouncey castle simulating the effect of drugs on itself launched several scientist miles into the ocean. The pressing question is: Should drug simulation be restricted for AI?"

Razorswift

Who is ever too mature for a bouncy castle?

David Paul

Bumper cars. Had them at our work christmas party a couple of years ago. Mad fun

David Paul

I have not seen that show in YEARS!

David Paul

Great, now Fart Captor will never leave... 🤷‍♂️ *jumps in anyway*

David Paul

The wacky hijinks department make a trebuchet that throws water bombs and try to storm the keep...

Lyman Green

Alas I never have been in a bouncy castle and now it’s too late

Leak

Go karts + bouncy castle + booze + drugs = Rainbow Road

Leak

How else would you get your hands on one that fast in a town with no apparent need for bouncy castles?

Carl Fink

According to random web pages, the record for youngest Ph. D. is 13. Granted, this was in 1813. According to Wikipedia, Eugenie Carys de Silva received a Ph. D. in Politics from the University of Leicester at 15. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eugenie_Carys_de_Silva But in any case, Gremlin, er, Liz is literally a cartoon.

Rob McBobson

Now, there's a reference that I don't get. Spuds is that beer mascot, right? Does he rap?

Stephen Wells

If Sam and Emmett ever get to meet Liz they will worship her as a god.

ValdVin

There's a "too late" agewise? I likely have too much mass for one, and my sense of dizziness is more easily set off by super-mega-blackout roller coasters than a number of years ago, but age wouldn't keep me out of a bouncy castle.

ValdVin

That is the spelling, and it's pretty much pronounced the same way. But I still whiff on the city of Southampton in England (SOU-tun, I think?).

ValdVin

Do you read Something*Positive, by any chance?

William Cole

Given it's Cubetown, it might turn into Fishbone's "Party at Ground Zero".

Melina Filomia

It’s not the age so much as the ability to throw out my back by as little as breathing funny, so bouncing around is sure to do it

William Cole

Or possibly vice versa. Either way, a dangerous trio!

allanfranta

in my late 60's here, just have an ambulance standing by, knowing myself, if there is a way to get hurt in a bouncy castle I'll find it. Getting out of it, most likely. You young folks, you have to do something to get hurt, all I have to do is sleep "funny".

Chris Heg

Not mutually exclusive.

Joseph Bonnar

Ain't ME that's too mature for a bouncy castle, Yelling Bird. It's my damn KNEES!

VoxOrbisBrad

Hijinks will follow. The snakes will never feel safe again, and many things will be running around invisible, tripping people. Chaos will ensue.

Todd Ellner

More likely they would feel sorry for her. No fun. No friends. Constantly afraid of everyone. Utterly self conscious about her height and lack of achievement

TwoRavens

I mean, it was a warehouse party. I think I'm going to invoke my right to not incriminate myself.

Daryl Sawyer

I forget. Is she legally allowed to drink in Canada?

2026-09-07 23:00 Claire’s so HOT in this arc, damn you for capitalizing on the transfem urge to librarian jeph 🔫🔫

Wednesday

It’s per province, but drinking age in NS is 19.

OldGoat

That will be an interesting first encounter. Liz's Big Problem is never actually having been able to be a kid, and she certainly doesn't know how to act like one. However, both being precocious misfits themselves, they'll probably not respond to her with the cruelty that is too often the default for their age peers. It'll take a while to work out, but in the end Sam and Emmett will be delighted to enlist as Dr Liz's henchpersons.

Stephen Wells

I feel like Moray and Claire in panel 2 represent... something, I'm not sure what, but it's going to work for a lot of people :)

OldGoat

Meh. Cubetown is definitely outside of the Halifax Regional Police venue. Canada's Coast Guard is NOT a law enforcement agency, and RCMP Maritime is more concerned with fisheries, smuggling, and immigration issues. That means dealing with issues like consumption of alcohol while a minor would fall to Cubetown Security. Dear Gawd, Evan would be in charge.

legobil

@Leak all of the above…? 🤩

Leak

Was it ever established that Cubetown ISN'T a giant floating bouncy castle?

Am Queue

I enjoy them from outside, in a sturdy chair, moving along with the flow. Like gripping the armrests in an airplane seat and pulling up, to help the plane take off.

Am Queue

Both! Both is good!

Am Queue

Pot and castle would be better

That Harper Gal

She acts strange for a 19-year-old, to my mind...but then again she HAS been effectively feral for years?? I like her.

vvvvvvvv

Oh dang, this evoked some bouncy castle memories. The local RPG convention that’s been going on for 30 years always gets a bouncy castle on the premises. I think that some time during the previous decade the scales finally tipped and there were more kids than adults using it. XD

ValdVin

It occurs to me that enough adults in a bouncy castle might render the children little more than errant projectiles.

ValdVin

That was the person who chose "clean the bouncy castle" on the chore sheet.

ValdVin

Legally married to each other? When I hear "bad choices at a party" my mind thinks "legally married to other beings". (Then again I love any comedy about mistakenly married or mistakenly not married.)

Opus the Poet

We had a bouncy castle at a church party once. Let's just say some women should not get in bouncy castles, particularly women with cup sizes that have multiple vowels.

YsabetJustYsabet

I'm in the SCA (Society for Creative Anachronisms); I'm not even sure at this point how many times I've been in bouncy castles. I do remember worrying a time or two that having that many knights bouncing in them at once might puncture something from sheer weight.

Hugh Eckert

Bouncy castles and recreational cannabis for the win, though.

Hugh Eckert

And recreational cannabis at both! I'd probably opt for the fancy hats and tea sandwiches.

Hugh Eckert

The way Bubbles indicates air quotes around things when she's speaking.

Hugh Eckert

Not so much "too mature" as "oh gods I hurt myself getting up this morning I can't deal with a bouncy castle it will kill me"

Brian Leahy

I have some doots about the meaning of that shirt...

kupo

Sam and Emmett visiting Cubetown is the terrifying potential for mayhem that I never knew I needed until now.

George Wilson

You're never too old for a bouncy castle. My daughter loves to play in them with me.

Bonnie Doolittle
>>103928944

Rude. There are so many things we're told we shouldn't do. And here's someone else telling us not to have fun.

Opus the Poet
>>103928944

I'm not telling you not to have fun, I'm warning you that some women with large breasts may become seriously injured in a bouncy castle, or injure someone else.
