[Is it cold in here?]

and a mid-life crisis can cause some personality shifts...but seriously, it's like two different people.

Grandchildren urges seem to have hit her in the meantime, and hit hard.

All Samantha has to do is ask what her dad's new friend does for a living, or Google her name, for awkwardness to ensue.

[Blackjoker]

why do you encourage her hannelore, why?

[Akima]

Because compared to her parents, all other parents, even VV, seen pleasantly normal?

Xtian

Since "X" means "Christ", wouldn't it just be "Xian"?

[Nepiophage]

The first option. She had been drinking and was trying to bake a cake, and she failed.

Dammit, now I want drunken cake sex with big-boobed women.

Cold showers work for me, but YMMV.

Tell that to X-tina Aguilera. That has been bugging me for years.

Unrelated trivia: In Brazil "X" is pronounced as "shis" so you can see in many places the word "X-burger".

[Mlle Germain]

Today's strip is a big surprise, at least for me. When VV googled Jim back in uuuhh... 2484 I never thought anything more would ever come of that.
I even remember being almost reprimanded for almost-shipping (or at least too much speculation) when I wrote something like "Is Jeph seriously going to go down this path?"

Edit: Not saying anything much will come of it now, I'm just surprised it was brought up again at all.

Different language and all, but that sounds closer to "shitburger" than "cheeseburger" so...yeah...

[Thrudd]

Late on the topic and all but Yelling birds "creative us of language" is of the Pick from column A and from column B variety, where A is a small fixed list and B is whatever words came to mind at the time and even then they are pretty tame.

I personally laud the invective from Grrl Power's protagonist Halo aka Sydney Scoville, Jr., as truly being creative in any sense or nonsense meaning of the word creative, all while using mostly words from the English language.

So, when will Marten and Hanners hook up?

So, when will Marten and Hanners hook up?

The question is inappropriate. Check Rules 'n Stuff, Notes for New Members, 5th paragraph for the no-shipping rule.

[DSL]

"I contacted him ... "
Trying to imagine how that went:
"Hi, I'm the mother of the ex-boyfriend of the woman with whom you're in a business arrangement, but dated once and decided to remain friends with? Anyway, his boss thought we might make a good couple? What do I do? Well ... "

Or maybe it just started as a phone order* for crullers or eclairs and she just worked her way up to that.

*It could happen. A TV host in California called up a pizza place in his Ohio hometown to have some pies flown out. I imagine they needed a reheat once they arrived.

[Kugai]

Or they could have been Skyping each other


Hmmmm


I wonder if that qualifies as Internet Porn?

I mean, sure, if you say it out loud. But that's not why they use it. X is a substitute for the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter in the Greek Χριστός, which means "anointed" and is where "Christ" comes from. Which makes it all the funnier when Fox News and their like claim "Xmas" is secular.

What's that you say? Fox News is a degenerate hive of ignorance, misinformation, and outright fantasy posing as a news source? Nooo, it are unpossible!!

[Nepiophage]

Just wondering . . . What kind of "meeting" is Veronica likely to have in Northampton?

[FunkyTuba]

It's been established that she attends "business conventions" in *hampton. I also doubt she'd think twice about classifying the entire Northeast, if not the East Coast as "in town" just as an excuse to pay Marten a visit, specially if she was on the prowl for herself.

[jwhouk]

To someone from Cali, NoHam is "in town" to Boston.

[mustang6172]

What if Marten really was dreaming?  What if this is still Marten's dream and everything that happens from now until the end of QC is all Marten's dream?

[Method of Madness]

What if the entire comic was a dream?

[Near Lurker]

It seems unlikely to me that Samantha would be so aware of VV at her age.

Someone did not grow up in the Internet age.

[J]

What if the entire comic was a dream?

what if this entire forum is a dream?!

I, uh, misinterpreted that as SRS.

is there an award for best post/picture combination?

What if none of the story so far is real? What if it is just a comic?

[Is it cold in here?]

It certainly seems that way sometimes!

[pwhodges]

Next you'll tell me that the entire QCVerse is just the imagination of one guy or something....

[Method of Madness]

Well that'd just be silly.

[Zebediah]

In Hannelore's apartment there is a single speck of dust. Our entire universe is contained within that speck of dust. And Hannelore just started cleaning...

[Thrillho]

The whole comic takes place in an autistic kid's imagination.

QC is real. We are imaginary.

Who knows? We could all be LARPing the wacky adventures of webcomic forum users.

[Mordhaus]

It's pretty clear that she is just here to see the muffin man.

It'd be interesting if something did come of it, though.  We haven't seen Jim in a while, but as far as we know he still does business with CoD.  Perhaps he is overdue for a re-entry?

[Blackjoker]

why do you encourage her hannelore, why?

Why not?

Because Hannelore is Martens friend and should remember how much worse his mother made his misery after Dora dumped him?

[Kugai]

She's stalking her prey. 

[cesariojpn]

One that stars Marten's mom?

Fetlife?

Or they could have been Skyping each other

There is no spoonerism.

Spooner was an albino.

Alternate last panel: "All right, how much do you want for it?"  "Mom."

Okay, seriously, I can enjoy a bout of hating on Veronica and her embarrassing actions as much as anybody, but you're kind of pushing the line between comic canon and your own personal fanon here.

In case you need a reminder, was how much worse she made his misery after Dora dumped him.
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1840

As opposed to him moping and slamming an entire bottle of hooch before her visit.

One of these days, I'll figure out how to do that thing where my text links to whatever I wanted to link to.

Actually, there was the fact of her embarassing him when he was out. There was her dragging him around, showing embarassing pictures to his friends. Also, when he finally called her out on her behavior she shouted him down, made him apologize to her and apparently his friends thought this was fine, or at least said nothing to her about it. This isn't personal fanon, this is me pointing out what she did.

[Is it cold in here?]

I still wonder how The Pugnacious Peach would have reacted if she'd been in earshot of that incident. I am thinking of how she faced down Hannermom.
