I, for one, welcome our new undead comic artist.
Look forward to seeing his first strip.
I wonder if anyone following Gunnerkrigg Court besides me expected Yelling Bird to put in a bloody appearance.
-
well, very cool. it was no alcohol-induced fantasy or hallucination...
-
And the cycle of Steve's love life goes on.
Flash-forward two hundred strips later, Steve's back in a bar somewhere, rockin' the drunk beard and recreating episodes of The Muppet Show with shotglasses.
I'm guessing, anyway.
-
Doubleyou Tee Eff. :-D
-
1350 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1350)
-
Marten is not sure whether to be amazed or horrified.
-
So, who is Svidaniya, and why is the comic title telling me to do her?
sorry.
-
That poster behind Steve's head in the first panel kinda makes it look like he's wearing a goofy crown-hat that says "BAD." Which is sorta appropriate, I guess.
Though it's still not as funny as that one a while back where a distant windowsill lined up with Sven's open mouth so it looked like he had a weird rectangular moustache. :-D
Edit: ...and I just hit the Random button, once, and that exact comic (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=796) popped up. Er...

Tortura's scar changed sides, unless she is one cut up lady, or is a fan of temporary tattoos.

Dude her name is "Tortura."
Why would she not be an extremely cut up lady?
Oh, and this is highly amusing.
-
Russia in da house! lol Nice Jeph!

I think he means that relations with a scarred up woman named Tortura are likely to be interesting to say the least.
-
Well, they certainly weren't kissing when we saw them together before (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1350).
-

But you can't say with absolute certainty that it's not kinky.

Suspicions of Questionable Content taking place in a universe filled with superheroes, secret agents, mad scientists and giant robots but all the action takes place off panel: Confirmed

Actually, that's not a bad look for Sven.
On other fronts, how is Tortura not Tortura, TheReaper?
I'd also like to add that we still don't know if the whole thing isn't roleplaying combined with vast amounts of alcohol. Which does not mean that Steve is not a kinkmiester.
Very nice perspective 'shot' in the last panel.
-
Yes! More Steve! Woohoo!
-
Awwww yeah, it was canon! Sweet!
-
Whoa, I completely forgot about 1350. So Steve just might have kind of double life going on?
Cosmic coincidence: I just watched "From Russia With Love" last night. Spies + hot Russian babes = fun.
-
Awwww yeah, it was canon! Sweet!
That was my exact thought. Go Steve!
-
I'm sure there's someone out there who's thinking that QC is jumping the shark by doing this . . . and to THAT person, I say, please, do you remember the Vespavenger?
Fantasticly done today, Jeph, straight down to the lipstick marks on Steve in the last panel.
-
And agent Turing.
-
A red spy is in the base? We have to protect the briefcase!
In conclusion: Steve might be the Pyro. Hudda hudda huh!
-
Tortura... Has her name been mentioned before? It rings familiar somehow...
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lKuQXGrFSQ0
:D :evil:
So, The US Dept. of Kicking Your Ass has it's top agent.
Tortura - Nice name for a Russian Agent
-
Women with facial scars are HAWT!
8-)

Holy shit, I just looked up who played the Russian babe in the 007 movie, and it's Daniela Bianchi.
-
One of the cousins no doubt.
Oh, and Happy Victoria Day everyone.
-
Mmmmmm......Tortura.............
And HEY YOU! MIB4U! Get off my avatar!
:laugh:
-
Too bad Tortura has to go into hiding. She would make an... interesting... addition to the gang. I mean, we already have a girl who was raised on a space station, so Tortura fit in pretty well.

-
So, who is Svidaniya, and why is the comic title telling me to do her?
sorry.
Lol! :mrgreen:
"Do svidaniya" is actually a russian phrase that, simply, means "goodbye." However, Mr. Google thinks it has any number of variations - "Goodbye forever," "See you later," etc.
p.s. Jeph - what does the Cyrillic phrase in Tortura's speech bubble mean? Thanks! Keep up the amazing work!
-
I knew MIB4U's avatar stealing days were numbered.

It's pronounced "Privyet". Basically just means "Hi." Svidanya on its own means visit, appointment, or date.

"Until we meet again."
-
Well, wherever Ms. T is going, my money says her first stop is a plastic surgeon. Otherwise, that scar is simply screaming "Hey, target. TARGET!"
Unless, of course, she's already been 'done' and that's a fake scar; hence the wrong side. Which means she braved death to see Steve.
Insane, that woman.
-
Holy shit, I just looked up who played the Russian babe in the 007 movie, and it's Daniela Bianchi.
OMG IT IS A CONSPIRACY YOU GUYS
-
I knew MIB4U's avatar stealing days were numbered.
I thought stolen avatars were de rigueur. (Mine is stolen from the Unicode Consortium.)
-
Since this seems to confirm Steve's adventure as being true (unless for a while it has all been a creation of drunken stupor) do you think we will ever see a shirt that has a design of The United States of Kicking Your Ass? I would definitely order such a shirt.

I prefer the more direct translation of "until the next date." Now I hope for more Russian to pop up so I can see how much I remember from my semester of taking it.
-
The word in russian translates as "hello.'
Dos Vidanya, is "see you later" or "See you again."
(I studied Russian very briefly in high school)
-
I guess she has two scars, one on each side.
Where is the new comic ?
F5
Seriously, where is the new comic ?
F5
...
-
Read the twitter - Jeph's main computer is bust...
-
I, for one, welcome our new sock-puppet overlords
-
I was hoping that the last panel would show one of the characters trapped in a closet and having gone crazy and forced to create sockpuppets of his/her friends.
-
Ha, I wasn't the only one who expected something similar!
-
This is the best comic since any given comic featuring Steve.
...What's that there was one of those yesterday? Well dang.
Okay but aside from those, this is the best comic.
-
well at least now we've seen Raven again :evil:
-
LMAO the Raven bit was best...that and the term "sockcest". :-D
-
If this is what we get when Jeph's computer crashes, I wouldn't mind it doing that more often. :D
-
"Sorry about the stupid comic, my main work computer got completely FUBARed trying to install the newest OS X update and I spent most of the night trying to salvage it to no avail."
"FUBARed Mac"
Must.... resist... temptation..... (especially after the new set of "I'm a blank" ads).
-
Jeph, your computer may be borked, but I still lol'd so hard at this issue, especially the Hannelore and Raven socks.
-
I read all of the dialog in a high-pitched voice. Just me?
-
OMG Sven looks like Gyro Gearloose! :-o
-
"Stupid" or not, today's comic made me laugh a lot. Though the button eyes now having me picture Dora, Faye & co. with Coraline eyes ... :-o
-
So I'm listening to my favorite radio station (99.3 the FOX) this morning and they always have sound clips of random people shouting the stations unofficial slogan "The Fox Rocks !!" only after reading todays comic I'm thinking more like "the Socks Rock !!!!" That and like whoah scarey huh last night watching CSI Miami and all the Russian gangsters in there and now in here on yesterdays comic. I'm so totally geeked out right now.
-
Oh, God, that was funny! I actually laughed out loud with people around!
-
The last panel it the most hysterical panel in QC history.
"I have something else inside me." *Jaw hits floor*
-
for having to scramble to get a comic out, Jeph, that was a good one. nicely done :)
sock-puppet character t-shirts anyone?
-
I suppose nothing else can be said except:
*strikes a pose* SOCK IT TO ME!
*gets pelted with rotten fruit*
-
Who is talking to Faye? Or perhaps who is it in the same panel as Faye-sock, since you cant really call them conversations.
-

I don't think Raven is a sock.
-

I wondered for a second too, but I'm pretty sure it is Tai.
And, if this is what we get when Jeph's computer gets "borked", I want to bork it again soon!
-

Tai.
-
Sock puppet Hanners is some seriously funny shit.
:-D
-

Tai.
Thanks. Realised right after I asked the question anyway. The glasses give it away.
*feels dumb*
-
I don't think Raven is a sock.
Well, she has stuff sewn on, I don't assume she's a condom. Looks like a fap-sock to me.
-

'Fap-sock'. I can always count on the QC forums to expand my vocabulary.

I have a theory re our socks:
point 1: Who here is not represented by a sock puppet?
point 2: Who has a history of reacting to breakups with Tequila fueled hallucinations?
point 3: Who just shared a passionate goodbye kiss with a certain scarred Russian hotski in the previous episode?
Conclusion: Steve is not taking Tortura's departure very well at all!
-
I'm just waiting for the other shoe to drop
*Whistles innocently*

Why?
What do you know that I don't know?
What's going to happen?
Why is everyone looking at me like that?

Do older men get 'fap-support hose'?

This comic really rocked. ^_^
Sorry about the computer issues. I could use it and turn it in a mac joke. but that would be too easy.

Heh. Your post was the top google result for "fap sock" (followed by LTK's).

Oh Hell Yeah!
-
Oh Steve... thanks for bringing some single male wisdom to the comic. And you know he snapped those fingers before pointing them.
*Are they at the library? Tai will probably agree. Or add a "random" fifth girl.*
-
I never heard of it, a 'fap-sock'. Please explain.

A sock in which you masturbate.
-
#130 is another example of Marten not setting ambitious goals.
-
I wonder why he didn't include Penny?
-
Because she has a boyfriend ?
Faye and Raven dont.
Well, not sure about Raven of course. Long time since we last saw her.
-
I wonder why he didn't include Penny?
If he really want to go for the impossible dream he should include Hannelore. :-D
-
Nah, Steve's got an eye towards Hanners.
-
I'm not sure if Steven has met Hanners already ?
Anyway, I heard you can get water from the moon if you cook it on high enough temperature.
So for eating the moon, only thing you need is to extend your lifespan by ... some billions and billions of years.
Oh, and prevent the earth (and the moon) from falling into the sun when it is getting to the end of its life.
-
Meh. At this point in my life the only reason I'd want more than one woman in my bed is so they'd have someone to talk to after I fall asleep. :laugh:
-
i'd be worried that they'd have more fun with each other and i'd just end up sitting at the foot of the bed watching Cartoon Network or something...

As Lou Reed said, "Very difficult is winning the Nobel Prize; impossible is convincing your jealous girlfriend and insane roommate to have a foursome with the slutty girl from work."

I refer you to 1387 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1387) or the print thereof.
-
Or 1100 (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1100); or 715 (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=715); or even the day Hanners was first seen (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=517)!.
-

That is not Hanners. That is Hannelore, who was mysteriously replaced with the pod-person Hanners some time before this strip (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=800). Hannelore's last appearance can be found here (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=759). I suspect the Roomba is involved in the conspiracy, since it was present in her last storyarc.
-
Nah! She's still Hannelore much later (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1204) than that.
-
I have a conspiracy theory...so wild and unbelievable it just might be true! Here it is:
What if Hannelore...
...and Hanners...
...are the same person!
I know it sounds crazy, but that's what they said about the moon landing being fake, and, well, we all know how that worked out.
-
Or perhaps Hannelore…
…and Hanners…
…are, as Colin Hay put it, "one person who feels good to be alive."
by which he, and I, mean multiple personalities.
(Why…
…by the way…
…are we posting…
…like William Shatner?)
-
Nah! She's still Hannelore much later (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1204) than that.
*whoosh*
I wasn't talking about the name, but rather the sudden and drastic shift in characterization. And hair. Especially the hair [cutting it short earlier didn't count since that was an actual action instead of a mysterious shift]
-
Hannelore (aka Hanners) changed her OCD meds a while back. She mentioned it in the strip. Whatever the change was, it can be the reason why her personality is so different now.
-
Maybe Hannelore ages backwards, like Benjamin Button or fans of lithium batteries?
-
Ahhhh, there's the Steve I remember...
-
Seems like Hannelore's still in there somewhere, occasionally breaking to the surface.
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1404
-
Well, you'd think after having a crazy Russian chick Steve would find ordenary girls dull. :D ;)
-
In 1408, second panel, there is a passer by. She seems unnecessary to the strip, so I suspect it's a cameo of someone - any idea who?
-
I have a theory re our socks:
point 1: Who here is not represented by a sock puppet?
point 2: Who has a history of reacting to breakups with Tequila fueled hallucinations?
point 3: Who just shared a passionate goodbye kiss with a certain scarred Russian hotski in the previous episode?
Conclusion: Steve is not taking Tortura's departure very well at all!
That actually sounds pretty logical. Well, for an internet discussion on a web comic about sock puppets based on the characters in said web comic.
If it IS true.. I wonder then why would Steve imagine Raven as a fap sock? :P
-
I totally imagined Marten's last speech bubble in Yahtzee's voice. Especially the last three words. Sounds like something he'd say. Not just because it's sarcastic, there's a specific wording...
If it was just because of the sarcasm, all of the characters would talk like a cranky man with an English accent 95% of the time, which would be... disturbing, to say the least.
-
Hurray for pre-midnight comics.
Those photos must be super disturbing if they're making Tai recoil.
-

No, it's not iambic pentameter. Sorry, please try again.
-
....aren't you confusing William Shatner with William Shakespeare? :?
or am I just not getting the joke? ...It's late
-
It all depends .. . . . onhow you think . . . . . Kirkspeaks.
:D
If Tai is disturbed by those pics I don't think I wanna know!!!!
-
The way I see it, as long as the water in that fall is blue, it's all good. As for flexing in front of a stufffed bear ... well ... there's no help for him there. He's either furry, into bears (the big hairy man kind, not the animal) or he likes to kill animals and pose shirtless with their carcasses ... which is just icky.
-
...is "glamour" supposed to be misspelled?
-
mixed signals....
is steve gay?!?!?
*dramatic music*
no...
that would be awkward.
-
Glamor is an acceptable spelling in some places.
-
Yeah. It's like "colour" or "defence" or like how "hat" means "condom" in some places.
-
If Tai is disturbed by those pics I don't think I wanna know!!!!
Of course, Tai might simply be disturbed by the sight of Steve's manliness in full bloom.
he likes to kill animals and pose shirtless with their carcasses ... which is just icky.
I have thought of four different responses to this, and each one disturbs me more about myself than the last one. Thank you.
-
And Tai becomes a switch hitter, but only if there is a stuffed bear in the room.
Or she's simply disturbed that Steve is carrying wallet sized cheesecake photos of himself for distribution. I know if any of my friends did that I'd be creeped out.
-
Yeah. It's like "colour" or "defence" or like how "hat" means "condom" in some places.
Not really.
-
...or like how "hat" means "condom" in some places.
Please tell me where these places are, so I know to miss the national anthem if I go to a ballgame.
-

It has long been my goal to bring enlightenment to the masses. You, sir, have just helped me get one step closer to that goal. So, it is with all sincerity that I say "No, no, no, thank you!"
:-D
-
I'd tell you I was happy to have obliged, but, thinking about it, I can't really say that's true.
-
Welcome back Steve. You've been missed.
:lol:
-
Welcome back Steve. You've been missed.
:lol:
but our aim has improved!
-

Been Ranging in Runescape huh?
:D
-
I am glad that there was no penalty box for all of the bad, unfunny jokes that I have told. Although having Hanners sitting in front of me keeping track of the time might have been all right.
-
OOhhhh ... Hanners touched Angus! So would it be Hangus or Angers? OOoh, ooohh, HANGERS!
:-P
-
The sad thing is the joke wasn't bad originally, but the rules say that if you explain a joke it retroactively becomes bad. If he'd waited for the "OH LOL I GET IT" moment he would have been fine.
-
Faye has NO BUSINESS criticizing anyone else's jokes...
-
I am glad that there was no penalty box for all of the bad, unfunny jokes that I have told. Although having Hanners sitting in front of me keeping track of the time might have been all right.
And you know you'd be there for precisely 120 seconds.
-
Well, plus or minus one picosecond, I figure.
-
What's weird is that Hannelore's stopwatch doesn't seem to be digital. It's hard to know EXACTLY what time it is on an analog watch.
-
The watch is just for show, she's calculating it far more precisely in her head.
-
Yes, she's mentally counting 1,103,115,812,400 oscillations of a Cesium 133 atom.
(Hannelore really likes to count things)
-
The watch is just for show, she's calculating it far more precisely in her head.
" ... 118 kittypicture 119 kittypicture 120 kittypicture OUT! OUT! OUT! OUT!"
-
Hah, Hanners is totally wearing the same shirt Dora is wearing in 1376!
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1376
-
You mean a blank generic green one that there could be any number of?
-
You mean a blank generic green one that there could be any number of?
Yes.
-
Usually I just follow the script without fully appreciating the artwork, but I really liked Hanners's pose in this one.
-
So there's a sign indicating which penalty was received. What other Coffee of Doom infractions could there be?
A likely candidate is bad pickup lines used on the baristas.
-
You know even my oldest lad knows that if you have to explain the joke, it's not funny.
-
So there's a sign indicating which penalty was received. What other Coffee of Doom infractions could there be?

That and hitting on Penny
I think that that's actually a Stopwatch in Hanners hand.

i think hitting on baristas at COD is a pithing offence!
-
But hitting on either Penny or Hanners is a Boxing Event
-
More than just boxing, in the case of Hanners. Remember the arsenal she had in her bag when she moved in with Marten and Faye? I cant find the strip offhand, but it was when her apartment was filled with Hannermom's documents.
-
This one:
Comic 966 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=966)
-
I wonder if she was in the Girl Scouts.
:D
-
Only if there were girl scouts IN SPACE. Yes, accepting and nurturing the space environment, and building character and skills for success in the space world. Oh and selling cookies from space station to space station. That would be a bitch.
-
The badges were the most badass thing ever.
...or is that just Boy Scouts?
-
The Girl Scouts, they got stinkin' badges.
And yes, I actually looked that up. GSA was on… sabbatical in my area when I was growing up, so I never knew any. They're back now, though. They and their cookies.
