This one, of the ones that haven't been mentioned a couple times already. Dora's little wave and the look on Faye's face in panel four absolutely make this strip.

The random button strikes again!  And with the recent Tai-gasms, it's appropriate... you also get a good look at her tatoos!

Also, 729.  Man, that was a good week!

That one (515) has to be the strangest introduction strip of a character in webcomics history.

ESPECIALLY considering what we know of Hanners now.

..AND she was smoking.  Those meds she was on at the time really lowered her inhibitions and must have been pretty good at supressing the OCD, enough to approach Marten after following him to a bar and even get snarky. 

I remember other strips where she had an odd reaction to meds - is she still on them?  I get the impression that she's trying to cope on her own now.

Although any comic with Hanners is near the top of my list, I also really enjoy Dora's reaction to The Flaming Lips!

Well, for me it's a lot of them, but the strips that do it for me most are the overly cheesy comic belonging to the day I first came to the site and the one that got me hooked on QC. Add pretty much any given Pintsize comic. Oh, and this one.

For arcs, nothing beats the Karaoke Wars arc.

She hasn't worn it since before she hooked up with Sven, IIRC.

No, that would be the lemon meringue singularity.  The lemon singularity is just acrid and bitter, with a hint of citrus freshness!

This one too because I cannot for the life of me remember seeing Dora in a ponytail.


IMO Dora looked a lot better with longer hair.  And for some reason the blonde hair with black tips just seemed to fit her.

Marten and Dora have a full conversation in nonsense in public
Hanners and Marten get into a verbal arguement about how they would beat each other up

My personal favourite is how the "bar where you can hire quaint edwardian clothing" recurring joke is eventually transformed into Wil getting hired as a barman there simply because he wears quaint edwardian clothing on a daily basis. It's such an unexpected, hilarious, and absolutely genius, twist.

None make me laugh any more but there are a few that make me smile.  Among them:

Number 172, number 220 and number 480.

Both of them because they have plot/character development and a great punch line.

This one makes me chuckle. And I like Faye's "Runners" shirt.  :-P

I love how ridiculous Pintsize looks in panel 3.

This one is pretty good too. (as are a number of them before and after- Hanners making frieeeeennnnds with Mieville, Hanners finding Dora's "party favors", Surprise Snuggles, Dora farting on Marten......I think it's safe to say that was one of my favorite arcs)

1322 through 1327. Especially 1323.

Little did that redhead know...

I think my favorite part of that arc is the last panel in 1328.


oh! and this one! It's equal parts silly and cute. Vulcan boob squish comic reminded me that there was another Faye Boob comic that I enjoyed haha.

Jeez....I could do this all day. Methinks it's time for another archive binge...

And I do love this one of Marigold/Sven, not only for all the reactions (which rewards the regular reader) but Momo's little wave in the first panel:

There are very few that don't make me chuckle, just a little. Even the parts of Faye's Talk, in which she described her life with her father, had their smile moments -- before the Big Reveal, of course.

There are one or two that kind of leave me cold, but that's such a damn good average I'm not going to mention them. Besides, they have their fans.

I think my favorites are #185 and #474.  Maybe I'm an asshole, but I find drunk people, stoned people, and anyone who is in an altered state of consciousness to be entertaining.  Hence, I will always try to remain sober just so I can enjoy drunk people making a fool of themselves.
