Hopefully there's not another appearance of Yelling Bird Goatse...

-
Wait, more guest strips?
-
Yep. Instead of a solid week of them, the 5-day 'week' is split up by the weekend.
-
The tweetfeed at the side of the page suggests Jeph had a bad day at the comic con. And the flight back hardly ever seems to work well for him. It's not unreasonable to suppose we'll see some mutual aid from those who stayed behind for Comfy-Con.
-
I'm actually hoping he got Zach Weiner to do another guest comic.
-
Well, whatever happens, Gabby will look different. (http://pic.twitter.com/EdcqLLmq)
-
who's "Wigi"?
-
I think he meant Wigu; meaning Jeffrey Rowland. I hope that's who he meant cuz that's who I voted for in the poll.

...I don't know WHAT you are talking about. :roll:
-
Oh you're right, it says Wigu after all! I must've been confused.
And no, I don't think he has done a guest comic yet. Kinda weird, but then again, he's a busy man.
-
Oh you're right, it says Wigu after all! I must've been confused.
Yes, yes... that must have been it. :laugh:

:psyduck:
-
Wait - this is a callback to his last guest strip...
Weird. And without knowing that, meaningless.
-
I'll use another word for it: Boring.

Is the timing right? Has that long of a jump happened?
-
I now regret being the one guy voting for something from Zach.
-
Gotta admit that I was hoping for a guest strip by Sean Mcginnis of Twisted Kaiju Theatre - Godzilla and Pintsize would make such a lovely couple.
-
For those of you who forgot... (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1975)
-
Why did he draw Pintsizes mouth correctly in his first guest strip, but not the second?
-
I knew I'd seen this gag before...
-
I knew I'd seen it before, but I didn't realise that they were both Zach.
I can only suppose that he's leading up to something, but a new gag would have been nice.
-
Yeah, he's leading up to something in 2017.
-
The whole "pintsize is going to take over and rule humanity" gag was funnier before Jeph confirmed in comic that the sigularity has happened. The AIs have achived the point where they could rule humanity if they wanted to. They just have no interest in doing so. They just want to be part of society, hence Momo's concern over AI rights. Even Pintsize just wants to look at porn and have fun.
-
Maybe "making the signularity happen" is part of a bigger plan to lull humans into false security thinking that it wasn't so bad and the *REAL* signularity will come later?
-
So, Questionables, what other guest comic weirdness will we have this week?
The mandatory appearance of Choochoo Bear. 2 (7.7%)
Danielle will come up with something. 4 (15.4%)
Has Wigu done a guest comic yet? 2 (7.7%)
David Malki does the Retro QC! 1 (3.8%)
DAMN YOU WILLIS! 5 (19.2%)
Something we have YET to see done in QC. 7 (26.9%)

That, or the AIs figure ruling humanity is too much damned work.

That's what Clinton seemed to suspect.
-
All of this talk of destroying humanity has a foothold in the QC canon (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=805). I'm not saying that QC is going to have a robot uprising in 2017, but I'm also not saying it isn't.
-
I'll say this for Randy Millholland. He has Pintsize's personality NAILED. This is also why Pintsize wouldn't bother taking over the world. Where would he find time for shenanigans? And yeah, I chuckled at this one.
-
For someone who knows ex-cutters, this one strikes me as on the usual S*P borders of "dude, not funny" and "zero fucks given".
I got the banhammer once for jokes about(retard jokes), so I'm not one to preach, but this one made me want JJ back.

Not really. When Winslow riffs off of Pintsize talking about world domination, Pintsize's response indicates that it's not true ("Okay, now you're just creeping me out."). They've joked about world domination before, but I don't think that's really on the AI agenda.

So, four out of five guest strips so far are about Pintsize...
-
So, four out of five guest strips so far are about Pintsize...
I was just about to post something along the lines of: "Crikey, don't the guest comic strip writes just love Pintsize!"
I suppose it's because he's the easiest character to make one-off joke strips about.
But I have to say that the main reason I don't get tired of Pintsize is that Jeph doesn't overdo the Pintsize humour.
That's kind of gone out the window now. And now I'm tired of him.
Yeah, I know. Gripe moan whinge blah blah blah. First world problems. Et cetera. I'm over it. Just had to get it off my chest.
Edit: having got over my initial reaction, I probably would have enjoyed the comic a lot more had it appeared earlier. It's probably the best of the recent guest strips.
-
I quite liked todays guest strip as well. Hell, I could see Pintsize doing something like that to Marten...
That being said, this round of guests hadn't done too bad (OK, Zach's was kind of a let-down, but anyway)
-
I'm just sad that Choo-choo Bear didn't make an appearance. :(
I bet he was over at ComfyCon instead. :x
-
Wait... how DOES he play "Navi"?

-
Also, isn't Pintsize's chasis like, military tough? What Marten is even asking about won't dent Pintsize, right?
-
His head was badly dented by Faye, though, and then by Marigold when she was preparing to repair it.
-
There was a tweet by Marigold to the effect that the military hardware was easy to pop back into the desired shape.
-
Designed to be maintained by sergeants, then.
-
Oh my. Oh my my my my my.
That was...unique. Even for Pintsize.
-
Honest to god query: Has there ever been a Marten/Pintsize shipper?
-
Looks like Pintsize finally got his wish (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1812).

I voted 'DAMN YOU WILLIS!'. Apparently my vote was well-placed.

Yup. Pintsize is best taken in small doses. Kind of like bourbon. A small nip now and again isn't bad, and leaves you feeling pleasntly buzzed. Heaven help you if you up end the bottle though....
Because, OWLS.
(there really needs to be an owl emoticon. just saying.)
-
Willis, not to be outdone by Miholland, boldly flings himself across the line of good taste!
-
You ever get the sense that the Walkyverse is just one big circlejerk of successful webcomic writers with twisted senses of humor? I mean, Dave alone is a sick pupply, but add Randy, Jeph, Danielle, and the rest of 'em into it, it just gets very silly. So silly Graham Chapman's ghost has to show up in a military uniform.
-
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwww...
(I know, I know.)
-
Hahahaha This was a good one. Nothing like some awful images that stick with you.
-
My response to today's guest strip (particularly the Epilogues):
1. Open skull
2. Insert ice pick
Eleventy-π: stab at brain until contents erased.
-
First, I'll note that there is no exclamation mark in the canonical "DAMN YOU WILLIS." (Futility be damned.)
Second, is this the last of the guest comics? And if so, can we say they ended on a brown note?
-
That one was tolerable - right up to the Epilogues, then I needed the brain bleach.

I think we need some bourbon in this thread. In massive quantities. To cleanse our eyes and minds of things man was not meant to witness.
-
Or robot, for that matter.
-
Glad to see I'm not the only one with this reaction: eeeeyyyugh.
I believe Willis has attained the apotheosis of butts.
-
Today's comic could be read as a continuation of yesterday's comic... Pintsize nags Marten into taking him to the modding competition, where Pintsize gets modded into a butt...
-
Best guest comic since 939. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=939)
-
I always thought the whole Singularity thing was supposed to be a parody of the whole idea...
The Singularity is supposed to be an apocalyptic positive feedback loop. That's pretty much what it means - it's named after a point of discontinuity in a meromorphic function, specifically meant to invoke a vertical asymptote on a graph of "progress," by whatever metric, where technological prowess all but literally divides by zero. The idea of machine intelligence outpacing human is just the how, not the what. With that in mind, the subtext of the whole Singularity bit, where the alleged trigger occurs, the media is whipped into a frenzy, and the cast barely notice, seems loud and clear:
"Get a grip."
-

Dare one say? It is the asschaton.

The singulassity.
-
A buttbot?? There is only one who can save us now:
(http://img-android.lisisoft.com/img/2/3/4732-2-com.northdunes.sonicundergroundanimatedseries.jpg)
-
Well, of course Hannelore is the one who kept the singularity from destroying all of mankind.
After Station spent nearly a decade trying to figure her out, he came to the conclusion that humans were worth saving.
And I have every reason to believe he is actually AI #1.
-
The singulassity.
Is it too soon for a Brown Hole joke? Or has this already passed a moral event horizon? :roll:
-
And I have every reason to believe he is actually AI #1.
If nothing else, he's a pretty good example of a powerful AI responsible for the well being of a large number of people. I really doubt he's the first- but this, http://jephjacques.com/post/14655843351/un-hearing-on-ai-rights (http://jephjacques.com/post/14655843351/un-hearing-on-ai-rights) is the only thing I can find where Jeph actually talks about the first AI, and it's not 100% clear if that's actually canon for the comic. An interesting read, and it's kind of amazing that AI's have been developed enough in the QC-verse to make a case for citizenship since before 1999. Then again, in many ways the QC-verse is way more advanced than ours, and that could be attributed to a single successful AI experiment and the repercussions thereof.

Word.
I'm always amazed how much complaining gets done around here when we have guest artists come on. :psyduck:
-
Just when it's Willis.
Damn you Willis.
-
Back to the storyline, already in progress - it appears the place where the little house party happened really is Tai's house. I suspect that this means she moved out of her dorm years ago.
-
It bothers me a little that the colors of Tai's sheets change between the first and second frame... :psyduck:
-
Must be the effects of the Tequila Monster! :psyduck:
-
Is that a tat or just some frilly stuff on Tai's panties along her waistline?
-
Looks like tats.
-
Can anyone tell what is at the center of that Venn diagram on Tai's wall? I got Librarians on one side and Lesbians on the other, but the middle is too small to make out. Lesbrarians?
-

Yeah, it says "lesbrarians."
-
Oh the drama to come
*Drools*
-
Lesbrarians better be in the next poll.
-
Well hello, Mr Hangover Demon, fancy seeing you around here.
-
Tai, why do you want to forget doing the right thing?
-
Assuming that by "doing the right thing" you mean "not losing her panties", I am pretty sure that's not what she wants to forget.
It's the boldly confessing her love to Dora part; for what I would hope are obvious reasons.
-
What Tai remembers: not fucking up
What Tai wanted to remember: evolving into a butt and waging the battle of Rectnarok against the traitor Pintsize
(The tequila monster represents: consequences )
-
Damn you Willis! What has been seen cannot be unseen!
One bottle of wine between four people and Tai has a hangover and hallucinations? Of course it could be some sort of synergistic weed-weirdness, I suppose. Or there was off-screen secret bourbon.

Or there is even more stuff (and alcohol) she doesn't remember. Wait for the conclusions!
... and I first read the diagram as (Librarians(Librarians)Lesbians) ... which I found very funny in its own aspect but "Lesbrarians" in the middle makes more sense, of course.

Given how she pulled it off, I'd say it's embarrassment at putting Dora in an awkward position more than anything else.

Lookit her! She's TINY! (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1603) Although she seems to be getting taller.
-
Tai regrets in the cold light of day what was wrought with liquid courage. She fears that her confession will drive Dora away. But then she didn't see Dora standing as if she'd been beaned between the eyes with a baseball bat. And she didn't see the blush. :wink:
Also, I know it's neither here nor there, but has Tai put on a bit of weight around the hips? I know everyone's butt spreads out when sitting or lying down, but Tai has been looking less androgynous lately.
-
asschaton? singulassity? Rectanarok?
Butts disease has reached its virulent phase, I see.
Sooo...Tai not so much a playa, as it's the booze talking. Ruh roh.
-
Way I see it, Tai doesn't want to be a "playa." She wants monogamy, committed, ideally Italo-Swede flavored with free-trade coffee. Tai's hangup seems to me to be a fear of success, even as she strives for it, and she is apprehensive about the consequences now that she has made the leap, with the aid of alcohol-fueled boosters.
In other words, "Oh shit oh shit what if this actually works?"
We wait to see what thought processes are going on between the ears of one Ms. Bianchi.
Also, Robutts.
-
Is this The END?
Will butts disease go into remission once again?
Will Willis return to inflict more cheeky humour?
Tune in tomorrow.

Being honest with a love interest is often the right thing to do. If Dora turns out not to be interested then Tai has arranged for that to come out quickly, substituting quick temporary pain for months of angst. So it's awkward. It would be a bit much to expect romance without awkwardness at their ages.

Tai's anchor tattoo has disappeared again.
-
She has more magically appearing/disappearing tats than anyone else in the webcomic world.
-
Considering the state of technology, digital tattoos and color-shifting sheets are hardly impossible. That or Jeph is more concerned about story and humor than consistent details. We may never know.
-
Jeph himself has said that small details will fluctuate and that we shouldn't attach too much importance to them.
-
IOW, Bellisario's Maxim.
-
I'm wondering what's tatooed below the bikini line...
A downward pointing arrow, with the words "Caution: Use may result in extreme giddiness, odd verbalizations and temporary loss of motor control. Owner does not assume any liability for damages."
-
"You must be this tall to ride this ride."
...So sue me, I spent the evening at the local county fair.

What ? Are you implying this comic isnt perfectly perfect ? BURN THE HERETIC !!! :-P

I want a delicious cookie now. It sounds delicious.

OMG.
I knew Jeph likes to be cruel to his characters.
But this is just ... just ... NOOOO !
How does Dora manage to miss Tai's interest all this time, anyway ?

Isn't Marten supposed to be the socially inept one when it comes to relationships?
I thought Dora could at least spot it when somebody has the hots for her!
Poor Tai though, it looks like Dora just 'dun think of Tai in that kind of way.
-
...No, I'm pretty sure Dora isn't oblivious, you guys, she just has a condition where you take a course of action that seems logical but UH OH it was the diametric opposite of what you SHOULD have done
It keeps happening to the characters in QC so much I am tempted to call it Northampton Syndrome
-
So in the one corner we have Tai, heavily embarrassed by her admission of feelings to Dora. Possibly so embarrassed she may even avoid Dora for the forseeable future, and if not will most likely avoid talking about said admission.
And in the other corner we have Dora, who while stunned and probably flattered by Tai's admission of feelings, appears to have self-esteem issues so strong they'll make up any excuse to get her to believe that Tai won't (or can't) follow up on her admission. Which means Dora probably won't follow up on it either.
End result: both miss out on their chance to at least try out a relationship with each other. Unless one of them breaks the stalemate and actually goes and talks to the other one. Which, this comic being how it is, could actually happen, but it'll be a while.
-
I don't think Dora is being oblivious at all. She just thinks Tai may have forgotten her confession and will therefore continue to act as if she's just a friend. It's still too early for Dora to be able to say if she feels the same way about Tai.
-
This is kind of a depressing twist, but probably one that many people encounter at least once in their life.

You pretty much summed it up how I see it as well. Dora's self esteem has never been particularly noteworthy. She retrospectively sabotaged her OWN relationship with her own insecurities, and most likely still has lingering issues (ones that those memories will more than willingly replay for) that leaves her emotionally blind ("she's so blinded by her own emotional past, that she can't see what's going in her present" is the closest meaning I can think of).
Tai's always been interested in maintaining a stable, monogamous relationship, but so far has never managed to achieve one, not even for a short length of time. One-night-standing and polyamorous romps are no ways to learn about relationships (they're fun and all, but sex is meaningless if your pursuit is about love).
Whether either of them like it or not, no matter how uncomfortable one or the other is, or how they think the other one is, they're going to have to talk it over. Sober if possible.
-
um so are we not talking about how dang cute Dora looks in this comic? Love that first panel :-)

The twist at the end of the comic is that it turns out Northampton was built on a small, rather unambitious Hellmouth.

Which, in my experience, is how it always is with mutual attractions. I hope it doesn't come to that tired use of trite tropes. (Hah... there is a song in that.)
... can't watch anymore of these uncertainty-escapades. °O
-
What is interesting to remember is that Dora was the one who "chased" Marten. And Angus pursued Faye, as Wil did Penelope (and, arguably, Cosette did with Steve).
If something is gonna happen, one of 'em is gonna have to pursue it.
-
One thing to keep in mind is that Dora and Tai don't exist in a hermetically sealed bubble where no outside influence can get it. While they may be unintentionally picking up their respective relationship idiot balls, Marten and Faye are still in play. Both Dora and Tai will talk to their respective co-workers about this. Marten and the Pugnacious Peach live together and will compare notes. Plots will be hatched. Hilarity WILL ensue.
Or not. Either way, it'll be interesting. :-D

If by pursue you mean "Leapt upon him like a ravenous bear" where Steve and Cosette are concerned, then yes, she aurguably pursued him.
-
Hell yes! Delicious Cookies!
And Dora in panel 3 <3
-
So reading the comic, and checking out the replies is making me wonder, what tone of voice are people thinking Dora is using as she talks out loud to herself? Try it yourselves, say her line in panel 4 in some different tones. I'm undecided as to how she's expressing herself here. Reachng at straws, I guess her body language *might* be leading towards thoughtfully dismissing the whole idea, but it's hard (for me at least) to tell.
-
Leaning toward dismissive (it is Dora, after all) but doubtful. This ain't over.
-
I dunno, I wouldn't have interpreted it like that if the title wasn't "No, Dora, No!" Like, I also try not to get ahead of myself and read into things in romantic situations. Even when people are that direct. It balances out all the hope and excitement a bit, which usually wins.
-
The twist at the end of the comic is that it turns out Northampton was built on a small, rather unambitious Hellmouth.
From what we have seen it is no way or form a Hellmouth.
Maybe an apathetic, diabetic portal on roller skates with a penchant for sloth - a Heckmouth? :-P
At worst it could be a crossing of the ley-lines from Jersey with with the one from the San Fernando Valley and the one from Boston with the possibility of something from Buffalo [shudder].
:psyduck:

Dora in Panel 1 looks an awful lot like Marten to me.
I don't think Faye will let this stand. Possibly Hannelore won't either (remember the space arc? "HE. IS. FLIRTING. WITH. YOU.")

When I watch the livestream, I sometimes have no idea who is being drawn until the piercings/boobs/glasses are drawn, and I know I'm not the only one who has this problem. All of the main characters look fundamentally similar, although the newer ones do look quite a bit different from each other. I guess it has to do with the fact that Jeph grew as an artist doing this.
-
It's been remarked upon multiple times in the comic itself that Dora and Marten look creepily alike. The earliest instance I can remember of someone pointing out their similarity is 374. (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=374)

I don't think Dora is being oblivious at all. She just thinks Tai may have forgotten her confession and will therefore continue to act as if she's just a friend. It's still too early for Dora to be able to say if she feels the same way about Tai.
She is being oblivious AND thinks Tai has forgotten her confession - which she denies to herself was genuine because Tai was drunk.

um so are we not talking about how dang cute Dora looks in this comic? Love that first panel :-)
...No, I'm pretty sure Dora isn't oblivious, you guys, she just has a condition where you take a course of action that seems logical but UH OH it was the diametric opposite of what you SHOULD have done
It keeps happening to the characters in QC so much I am tempted to call it Northampton Syndrome
The twist at the end of the comic is that it turns out Northampton was built on a small, rather unambitious Hellmouth.
That would explain the damage to the kitchen. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1893)

Actually, yes, I think you're right. I didn't read it very carefully I guess..

Dora in Panel 2 looks an awful lot like a chimpanzee.

Ha! Never thought of reading that one in that way. I always thought the realtor was dodging the issue.. .

I always read that one as 'Let me show you the kitchen (to illustrate exactly -why- we want no witchcraft tomfoolery)'.

The divergence of interpretations in this forum never ceases to fascinate me. That interpretation had not even occurred to me.
And people get surprised when a member of the cast fails to see things that they think is obvious. Ha!
