140 – Presents
It’s been snowing lately, so I guess it’s time to break continuity in order to have our annual Christmas strip. It’s starting to look a lot like it I guess.
This is a direct continuation of the last one, which means I now an have an ongoing Christmas storyline that’s updated once a year. Wow. Also, Mimi’s ideal action heroine now has its own action figure in Chloe’s dreamscape.
I hope you guys have your Charlie Brown music ready. I sure do.
So Happy Holidays, merry Christmas, happy Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, or anything else you people might be into. As long as you’re celebrating something with your loved ones at the end of this crazy year. And thank you for staying with me for the ride all the time. :)
Please vote for me on Top Web Comics! I’ve been dropping from the rankings lately. I need all the help I can to stay visible!

Ninjaesque seems like a legit toy brand. interchangeable glasses?
Like Robert Cop?
LOL
Yup! She has the big ones from her old design that I used in those old strips!
It’s Nergal inside that last box isn’t it?
Probably not… he likes to show off more that this.
Hmmm, let’s see now. Since Mimi got Ben’s game & Marie-Neige got Mimi’s action figure, that would most likely mean Ben got Marie-Neige’s present. Now considering the kind of stuff we know M-N is into, I can understand his reaction…
Merry Christmas indeed…
On top of that, the wrapping paper is color-coded to the intended recipient. It even matches their outfits!
Yup, the last panel is where this becomes most evident.
Well at least she didn’t give that box to Mimi… O_O
Also, good to know in Noelle’s dictionary “naughty” does not
include “kinky”. Lucky Marie-Neige. :D
Everybody is entitled to his or her fun bedroom time without Santa interfering. :)
I was wondering if people would notice that.
yeah, and I got the joke instantly… but maybe that says something about me ^^;
i think i know what be got for christmas i assume its long .. and goes inside stuff
A key? A flashlight? A screwdriver?
I thought it was what was inside the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. :P
Seems a lot of people are making that connection…
Tis Slannesh within the last box.
We will never know what was in the box. But I suspect worst. Something for M-N. Something embarrassing. Something i-dont-know-where-it-came-from-its-not-mine-honestly sort of thing.
A present intended for Marie-Neige would probably qualify for all-of-the-above.
I have several guesses, varying in degrees of horror and lewdness.
It’s not every day you lay your eyes on a diesel-powered vibrator.
You’ve obviously never slept in a tractor-trailer.
After I quit driving, it took me forever to learn to sleep in a bed that wasn’t vibrating!
Must……..Resist…..Posting… Potentually……..NSFW pic….
DAMN. What is this from?
Naked gun 2 1/2, the sex shop scene. The squad leader found a…unique toy…
…Aaaaand I had no idea that was gonna pop up, so if you wanna delete it, go ahead. I’ll try again…
Naked gun 2 1/2, the sex shop scene. The squad leader found a…unique toy…
Everyone knows vibrators and the long/hard things you put in stuff arent the kinnd of things M-N buys. We all know she buys *special* toys. ;)
What is the symbol on M-N’s shirt?
Radio Québec. My favorite logo among every broadcasting corporation ever. Even though it’s been retired for more than two decades, it lives on in Frivolesque.
Having T-shirts from the 20th century seems to be very popular this century.
I grew up on their “low-budget but strong writing” educational shows!
looks like M-N’s box is on Ben, Mimi’s is on M-N, and Ben’s is on Mimi :D
now i wonder what’s inside M-N’s box, could it be some “toys” ? :D
Yup you got it!
A radio-Quebec t-shirt? Awesome!!!
Whoa, you recognized it!
Eh I’m sure they’ll do better next year. I imagine Chloe’s gonna get roped into helping Noelle every year from now on. Well at least in that strange dream universe anyway.
She would get the elves to help but union rules…
“roped”
Whatever is inside the box Ben is looking at, can turn an ass from this:
(_._)
into this:
(_O_)
hence the horrified look on his face.
OMG
I cannot unsee your ascii art.
A plugin bunny tail?
*Feigns innocence and fails*
I feel like Ben’s horror at the sight of it suggests it’s more than just your run-of-the-mill self-entertainment toys.
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS IN THE LAST BOX OR I WILL STOP TO BREATHE UNTIL I BECOME BLUE AND START LAUGHING!!!!!!!
Pleasssseeeeeeeee! (I really hope it’s the kind of toys clementine is thinking about when she thinks about Marie-Neige ;) you know kinky stuff)
It’s probably that, yeah. Ben never saw this coming.
Remember to keep voting for Frivolesque in the Top Webcomics 100, Frivo is as of this post at 46th place.
Is it just me or did Ben stumble upon the “Pulp Fiction” reference panel? The lighting differs greatly form Pulp Fiction so I’m going to assume I’m wrong and it’s another reference entirely ^_^ Nice touch to leave that to our imagination.
I really didn’t think of Pulp Fiction, but I guess the “staring down into something” trope is common enough. :)
Also it’s kinda hilariuos how Dez can make perfectly family-friendly strip so suggestive and lewd. Or is it us?
Oh, there is F-word there, not family-friednly T_T
There’s no smut like wholesome smut. ^_^
This has been Frivolesque in a nutshell so far…
I wonder what Marie-Neige wanted. Deluxe Shibari equipment with other fun filled things maybe? :)
Sacré Maxime.
It’s an action figure, not a children’s toy. Though still not the sort of “toy” she was thinking of, I guess
I don’t think Marie cares about the difference. Oh, wait, she does. She said that very same thing to Clementine!
This is so out of character for her. D:
aaaaaah and done. for now.
Oh hey, I just binge-read (?) this webcomic from start to finish in 2 hours, took the time to like the FB page and now…I’m contemplating my life…
Anyway I really like your style and your characters and your humor, I also could clearly see the art evolution, although it’s subtle, it really makes a difference *o*

En tout cas je veux savoir ce qu’il y a dans la boite destinee a Marie-Neige xD
Wow, thank you!
I did improve a lot from the beginning, and I keep getting better, I think. Glad you liked it!
Are you from Quebec? Where did you hear about Frivolesque? :)
Yeah, I live in Laval though. I was looking through the topwebcomics list tbh and yours just kinda appealed to me visually so I started it and I couldn’t stop!
Really happy that you’re a Quebecois, it’s refresehing to have names like Clémentine, and Marie-Neige in a comic :)
Bonjour au gens de Laval! =D
Merci merci, c’est des gentils commentaires. =D
Je vais continuer à essayer d’être bon!
Et je trouvais ça important d’avoir des petits noms bien francophones (quoi qu’un peu inhabituels) dans mon histoire, personne le fait.
I feel bad that I only realised just now that the Ninjaesque action figure is a reference to this: http://frivolesque.com/archives/comic/120-marketing
Especially since I did mention it in the post. :)
I’ll just call it having a senior moment and move on. :P
Where do you find Saki figures? Is that a Santa’s workshop limited edition?
They only exist in Chloe’s christmas dreams so far. ;)
I spy with my little eye. The old 80’s Tele-Quebec logo on Marie-Neige’s shirt.
I wonder what got Ben’s knickers in a twist? IF Mimi got something meant for Ben, and Marie-Neige got something meant for Mimi, and I to guess Ben got something meant for Marie-Neige? I wonder what that something might be. Knowing her, it’s probably a sex toy. In could have been worse, it could have been sent to Mini instead.
You mean RADIO-Quebec.
Radio-Quebec had the best logo ever. Where are you from, anyway? :)
99 more to go, M-N (although she didn’t buy this one either) :)
