Kinda disappointed in the comic lately
has alot of potential for story but more often the creator turns to another "LEL WEED" strip
and as a trans girl, kinda saddened that most of it revolves around claire, like the creators tryna redefine her character from
a quirky nerd who happens to be trans, to a stoner who happens to be a quirky nerd

Harm or Harms? Major difference :-D

Pheeew - pretty sure it was 'Harm', but that was a quarter century ago ... But yeah, I figured it was the owner's surname (it was one of those turn-your-livingroom-into-a-salesplace affairs, as opposed to the classic Dutch coffeeshop with a storefront that actually sells coffee and tea on the side).
P.S.: That link ... :-\

More likely first name I think. 'Harm' is a very common first name in the Neterlands. It's meaning in English may be a happy coincidence, or maybe the owner was well aware of it and picked it partly because of it, who knows...

Welcome, new person!
I agree that lately not a lot has been happening in QC, but I feel like a lot has been part of setting up new storylines. JJ has a history of planning narratives pretty well, so I am pretty hopeful. Most of the setup seems to have been around Brun, and now around Marten/Claire and possibly around Tai.
Today's comic seems too...deliberately addressing weed use to be just a one-off.
As for your assessment on Claire, I can't say I see that the same way. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this only the second time CLaire has gotten high, and only for a very specific reason this time (i.e. graduating)? To me that hardly qualifies as trying to redefine her as a stoner, at least at this point. Of course it's possible that JJ takes it into that direction as Claire could be susceptible to weed addiction due to some anxieties she may have. If so, perhaps the narrative could develop into not so much about Tai having a problem herself, but about Tai being an enabler/facilitator.
Zebediah:
Up until now, Claire’s main vice was her unwelcome meddling in other people’s affairs. So what’s the problem with her acquiring a new and less annoying vice? I doubt she’ll ever achieve Tai’s level of drug use, and the one of the points of today’s comic is that even Tai has cut back.
