Hang on, Gordon?
I thought it was Gary the hallucination?
Comic! And what a cute one!Very.
Upon closer inspection, could it be foreshadowing that Claire uses future tense in the last panel? *tryingnottoship*"That'll happen" and "That happens" essentially mean the same thing. That something tends to happen (in this case, her hair getting on or in someone).
There must be plenty of people by now raising their eyebrows and looking askance at how Claire takes care of her hair: the Claire-bear hair care stare.It's unfair!
It's the humidity!My physics teacher back in school would always use that when one of his experiments failed. And pretty much every one failed, so I guess our classroom must've been fucking damp...
Everybody say it with me now.. Dawwwwwwwww <3 :D

For the last few strips, I've been staring at that barn painting more than the actual characters.
I ship it with the Mogwai poster.

Either way, I predict that tomorrow's strip will be four panels of Hannelore and Garydon the ArachnoPC staring wordlessly at each other.
Which might be confusing, because today's strip involved a person whom already switched bodies. To their actual body from a wrong body. Despite never switching before.Either way, I predict that tomorrow's strip will be four panels of Hannelore and Garydon the ArachnoPC staring wordlessly at each other.
In the last panel, we find out they switched bodies.
"Yeah, that'll happen"My conclusion is this hug is the start of a growing attraction between the two, and 500 strips later Claire will have a major reveal that either ends in kissing or a large turn in the comic.
That will
*squeeing sounds*
AND MAKE MARTEN CLAIRE BABIES AND HAVE A HOUSE AND A LAWN AND A DOG AND A SWIMMING POOL
Another major reveal?
I think more than the 'that'll,' the nuzzle-y nature of Marten should be considered ship material.
You think someone who could judge character wouldn't date Marten? Or just that Claire shouldn't?
All of his romantic relationships have.I don't really see that as a meaningful statement. If you're monogamous, then all of your romantic relationships end...until one doesn't. As far as we know, he's only had two girlfriends, one of which was a college relationship that wasn't as serious as he thought it was. Not a remarkably good or bad track record, really. You could count Padma, but that was more of a fling that both wanted to go somewhere, but circumstances made them both fuck it up.

I'd say her hair is too dark to be considered "ginger".Yes, it's much closer to "auburn" than "ginger".

"Got into a fight with Claire"? Have we been deprived of humourous action?I seem to remember that the last time we saw Emily she was running away from Clinton for some reason after finding him weird or something, so I thought she came back and decked him to make sure he wasn't a Terminator. And then on realizing her error, she got an icepack out to help him recover.
This arc will be the deciding factor on whether or not Jeph has any balls of which to speak of.
I seem to remember that the last time we saw Emily she was running away from Clinton for some reason after finding him weird or somethingThat's not why she ran away. (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2428)
So what were Claire and Clinton fighting about?
I guess Emily decided that for lunch, she would give peas a chance.Peas cannot be achieved through violence.
Karma's a bitch Clinton. ...
Does anyone have a mental picture of the peas being whirled around?Yes, a Birds Eye view
Oh good, I wasn't the only one who thought this."Got into a fight with Claire"?

I was wrong :(
If Scott Ramsoomair has the gale to write this comic http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=270 why can't Jeph make a comic where a pre op trans gender character has a relationship with a member of their current pre op sex.The last time something non-PC happened the extreme Tumblr feminist underbelly caught a wiff of it, came out and drove him to the drink which ended in him stabbing himself, and that was only because there was one of the characters had low self-esteem. What do you think they would do if he "insulted" them a second time?
Confiding in Marten in the first place suggests that Claire is a good judge of character.For her, maybe. What about for him?
If she is, then she'll realize that Marten is a better choice for a Just A Really Good Friend than for a romantic partner.
If you're monogamous, then all of your romantic relationships end...until one doesn't.Some romantic relationships last longer than others, but they all end.

Meanwhile... I'm trying to imagine what it would be like to be in a chassis like Gordon's. Sort of a "+4 Dex, -15 Cha". How much of our opinions are based on appearances? Can we look behind someone's eyes, to see them rather than their body? Can we overcome our prejudices - though that's a bit of a tall order, I should de-scope. Let's try "can I overcome my prejudices" based on appearance?
@Zoe: As someone who's done a lot of overcoming the past year, I don't think I'd ever get over my inborn automatic response of trying to kill Gordon with the nearest heavy object. Then again I'm so ridiculously arachnophobic it probably qualifies as something more severe....I've had to eject two Huntsman spiders from the premisses recently. Catch and Release.
Ah prejudice, it's a pain in the ass. Especially when it's your own prejudice that you're trying to overcome and you know you're behaving stupidly, but you still can't shake the automatic response.I've become aware of it through my own life experience. Not my personal situation, but I now mix with people I never would have before 2005.
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
A story writer passionate about his stories wouldn't let militant extremists control the context of their work. I'm also not insulting him, I've been reading QC since the beginning loving almost every minute of it but I've noticed a sad tone here as I do with nearly every other webcomic I read. No one seems to want to do anything risque and it's becoming extremely depressing to see a remotely interesting plot ruined for you because you know the writer 9 times outa 10 isn't going to take the non PC route. Case in point was why I linked the VGcat comic. There are people out there who don't care about being PC and are mildly successful, I just wish Jeph was more like that.If Scott Ramsoomair has the gale to write this comic http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=270 why can't Jeph make a comic where a pre op trans gender character has a relationship with a member of their current pre op sex.The last time something non-PC happened the extreme Tumblr feminist underbelly caught a wiff of it, came out and drove him to the drink which ended in him stabbing himself, and that was only because there was one of the characters had low self-esteem. What do you think they would do if he "insulted" them a second time?
In the end Jeph has the final say in what happens and all we can do is speculate and not insult him because you "don't see this arc going anywhere I want it to go."
Just because Scott doesn't update on a regular basis doesn't strip him of the fact that he isn't afraid to do something incredibly Non-PC so my argument is sound. Also if you want to get that kinda technical Jeph doesn't have a perfect update record either. I haven't seen Ryan and Lar over at Licd post a filler strip in sometime like 5 or 6 years? Despite going on con tours for months at a time.If Scott Ramsoomair has the gale to write this comic http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=270 why can't Jeph make a comic where a pre op trans gender character has a relationship with a member of their current pre op sex.
If only Scott Ramsoomair would bother to POST a damn strip at least once a week instead of this wishy-washy schedule, perhaps your argument would hold some weight.

All I'm saying is Tolkien wouldn't have changed the Hobbit if some militant Christians started throwing bricks at his house for corrupting the minds of children with his books about magic (Much the same way Dungeons and Dragons caught alot of hate).There are people out there who don't care about being PC
And there are people who care about how others are treated and treat each other, regardless of ideology. Jeph is like that, and he will make his own choices without reference to us anyway (he only rarely glances at this forum).

Keep in mind that there were verbal personal attacks on Jeph earlier, and he had a hard time dealing with it. I wouldn't resent Jeph for trying to avoid something like this, not implying that he does.I wasn't so much trying to tell him how to write more so just venting something that has bothered me about web content lately. For the record I'm not even a fan of a Claire Marten shipping I just thought this was a chance to do something that would really push the envelope because no one ever takes those kinda risks anymore.
Jeph should do what he wants to do. It really isn't our business telling him how to do his job.
He should have hung it up a long time ago.I thought he did hang it up a long time ago. And I just looked, he's done about 20 strips since 2009, and three since 2011. That's not an irregular update schedule, that's occasionally coming out of retirement. There's no comparison between that and Jeph occasionally taking a sick day. (Also LICD occasionally posts a filler strip, not that their Con Tales aren't fun, though)

... And, there's also plenty of reasons for it to not be Marten - his passivity in many situations would probably frustrate Claire to no end. Conversely, her intensity, if he's in an especially passive mood, or wanting to interact with her in some way other than what she's focusing on, could annoy him. ...

If the purpose of webcomics we don't write ourselves were to break new ground rather than entertain, it's worth noting that Jeph is breaking ground by having Claire be just another character. I gather from the comments of several trans people that this has been a breath of fresh air to them.

THEN collapse in a screaming heap. Amnesia-inducing drugs would be appropriate therapy.

I've had to eject two Huntsman spiders from the premisses recently. Catch and Release.I am not supposed to kill creepy-crawlies, so I have quite a arsenal of catch-&-release kit. The key weapons are transparent plastic bowls with wooden knobs glued to the base. This allows me to hold the bowl securely, and see the spider etc. through the plastic as I slap the bowl over it. Then I slide a sheet of plastic between the bowl and the wall, floor etc. and take the captured creature outside. As Zoë says, Huntsmen are big and I need my "B-52" 200mm diameter catcher for them. There are Redbacks and occasional Funnel-Webs in my garden, along with the odd poisonous snake. Yes, welcome to Australia.
They are territorial and highly aggressive birds who compete with and displace native wildlife for habitat areas. They take over tree hollows and plug up nest sites they are not using, forcing possums and birds out and ejecting nestlings and eggs from their nests. They also compete with native fauna for food and habitat.Source (http://www.abc.net.au/tv/wildwatch/results/award.htm)
My thought was that her major worry about the Marten-snuggling was that he would feel somehow weirded out snuggling with a girl who wasn't 100% biologically female. But then that could be just me projecting....Or me. Same issue here. Plus me getting weirded out too - just because you're Trans/Intersex doesn't prevent you from feeling the same Transphobia that many others do. It can be inconvenient on a personal basis, but also useful as it allows you to see the Transphobes as merely human, like yourself. Not innately bad. This really is a case of "to understand all is to forgive all" and to laugh at the inconsistent illogicalities of being human. Kindness is the answer of course, to forgive yourself, so forgiving others becomes not just trivial, but inescapable.
oh god.No, Huntsmen are "catch and release". They're ... about as harmless as you can get for a venomous creature in Australia. They just look scary. Ok, terrifying. 20cm B-52 size Spider Trappers definitely appropriate.
i googled huntsman spiders.
i do not have any kind of arachnophobia but those guys give me the heebiejeebies. i would, as was said by someone else earlier, probably wind up destroying with extreme predujice if i met one IRL.

Attempting puns aroundEmily seems to produce what the old IBM manuals called "unpredictable results".
This is the second? time we've seen claire's :mrgreen: face.
It's not the pun that's bad, it's her interrupting. I should give her a peas of my mind.Even peas may be purchased at too high a price.

Whoa, Emily got angry. Was Claire's joke really that bad?Seriously, that was a face of sheer disgust. The joke wasn't that bad.
Perhaps Emily's face reflects her belief in the saying "If you would have peas, prepare for war".“Fighting for peas is like screwing for virginity.”
Whoa, Emily got angry. Was Claire's joke really that bad?

Not altogether fair, since that is by far the most common method of increasing the number of virgins.

Not necessarily decreasing them at the same time, no.

Wait, that's the intention of the poem? If anything it gives kids an idea on how to make peas sweeter and less healthy. Also kind of badass.
I can't imagine being slow enough as a kid to think that putting round things on a flat thing would work as a method of transportation to my mouth. But then, I wouldn't use a fork as appears to be the norm either. It's clearly a spoon food.I don't get it. Who eats peas with a knife?
Children; who thus need a ditty to gently shame them out of it.
Altenatively, it's a reflection on the impracticability of it.
She has seemed completely artless sometimes.
We could speculate that she got pigeonholed early on as "the odd one" and chose to make the best of the role by cultivating it.
But then, I wouldn't use a fork as appears to be the norm either. It's clearly a spoon food.Yeah, my mom used to get mad at me for eating rice and peas with a spoon, instead of a fork like I apparently ought to.

Emily's probably more the type who would take Claire back to the lake house and toss her into the legume.

Oh, and bad pun, utterly dreadful, go to the back of the queue, with half of the other posters on here.
I am sad for Emily. But puns are not everyone's cup of pea. "You got to know when to hold 'em, know when to fold 'em, know when to walk away, know when to run..."She went to Coffee of Doom for the Cup o' Pea special.
I think it makes more sense that Hanners is going to fix things for Emily - she is very good at keeping herself stable when she can be there for others.
But puns are not everyone's cup of pea.
The last couple of comics with Emily as a major focus have really cemented why I don't like her character.
Emily appears to be thick headed a bit like Raven is some respects but while Raven had skills that suggested that she was actually an intelligent woman who has a naive streak a mile wide.
Emily thus far seems to be thick headed with no signs of any skills or useful traits in fact I think it will come out soon that she has a mental disorder or two to explain her level of chaos.
It's been a long time since I have last posted but Emily has finally got me riled up enough to come back and post. :roll:
Decent pun, terrible character.
I mainly think that Emily hasn't been fleshed out at all. Maybe she has got issues but right now, she's just 'ha ha, oh Emily, you kooky chick!' and that's it. I don't care about her at all, she's a throwaway (with a kickass haircut). I've been hoping that the little hints that Emily's struggled to make and keep friends might be elaborated on (she's gone from loner to a group without much of a reaction/adjustment/trouble), or she could talk about/use her degree (computing stuff?) or perhaps she could have a conversation with someone that isn't played for laughs but so far that hasn't happened. I've come to write-off Emily updates and I'm sad about that because Jeph seems to love her.
Do people ever actually get ANGRY at bad puns? Ever? Or is that just a comic strip trope? :psyduck:

Decent pun, terrible character.
It's pretty hard to make that call at this point in time. Though she's been comic relief in several strips, her character hasn't really gone anywhere yet. Disappointingly, even through the party arc (at her own house!) she took a backseat to Claire, Hannelore, and even Marigold, and was never really visited except to establish that she has parents, a large house, and no other friends. Until we see some depth added, she's left witha a very "Outdoors Pint-size" feel, though even Jeph has revealed a deeper side (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2332) to Pint-size from time to time.
Ninja'd by last post :-\ but I'm keeping it for the Pint-Size bit.

While we were trawling the archives for every reference to peas that has ever occurred in the strip, did anyone think to get a count of other vegetable appearances so that we can do a statistical comparison? Over-analysis is nothing without numerical data.

And yes, I would like to see more depth to Emily too. I really hope the current developments will introduce that.
I was just opposing the notion that she is only played for laughs. I think she is... kind of a sad character, much like Faye pre-500.
And shit, I really felt shitty for a moment for wanting Jeph to use Emily's angst for character development. My brain was like "Dude, you are wishing for someone to suffer just for advancement of 'plot'. You are bad and you should feel bad.' :psyduck: Then my brain was like "Dude. She is fictional. She is not actually hurt. No need to feel bad about it."
I'll buy that for a dollar.To be fair, she really needs to try it with someone other than the two most enigmatic characters in the QC-verse, outside of an alcoholic hallucination or angry stand-in avian.

Ah, a tomato-tomato pronunciation thing then, as I've always heard "peas" pronounced as "peezz", not as "peace" with the stop (can't remember what it's called) in the middle of the S sound.
it's a bad pun(http://media.tumblr.com/3aa531f2d37a6fbf141c2936b0e1ab91/tumblr_inline_mjkw9sQHdX1qz4rgp.jpg)
But if you've never heard the phrase "give peace a chance" then it could be hard to get the pun, so it's probably more of a difference in pop culture than a difference in pronunciation.I'd never cared much about John in his post-Yoko period.

Pretty sure "post(hooking up with)Yoko" was the intended meaning. As for the phase...

If I had one word to describe her, it might be "stunted". "Blighted" perhaps. Nowhere near the complete human she has the potential to be.
Lonely too.
[...] doesn't she seem like the type to bounce back quickly?What seems and what is are sometimes two different things. Yeah, Emily has an air-headedness that would be synonymous with the word "bimbo", but sometimes there is more to people's behaviour than just how they act.
