Another classic one would be;
Panel 1 - Dora sends Faye out for her lunch break, leaving Dora alone in Coffee of Doom.
Panel 2a - Close up of a black heeled boot as a customer walks in.
Panel 2b - Dora hasn't seen who it is yet and is just chatting away about random crap.
Panel 3a - Dora turns around, still talking.
Panel 3b - Dora has suddenly become ashen and silent.
Panel 4a - A close up of Dora's eye and a brief silloute of a woman with a ponytail.
Panel 4b - Faye eating a burrito in that cafe and hears a familiar sounding scream of terror.
Dora vanishes, strangely leaving Coffee of Doom to Faye and Marten
Mom visits a year later with a strange, masked submissive slave woman who is oddly familiar
Can I invoke Rule /34/ now?
What I'd love to see is a comment from Marigold on her twitter feed:

My opinion was that YellingBird's using one of those small .45s... he's gonna need to reload soon.
Should we be worried that he's thinking of doing an all-Yelling Bird/Sweet Tits/Randy webcomic?I've started to notice a bit of that, too.

Script's done. It's a regular QC!Regular in the sense of none of the characters in the previous script, or regular in the sense of very-slightly-plot-advancing, or regular in the sense that Faye in the CoD bathroom is not?
Is there no end to Marten's embarrassment? But will he fly into a rage, simmer resentfully, or just reach a state of mute acceptance?
Randy = Capt. Jack Harkness.
Please tell me someone gets this reference.

He may decide to no longer endure this humiliation sober. That may be his breaking point, and he may be so "broken" that he may not care about possible consequences of another bender. Remember this IS a guy who has a habit of hitting the bottle when things go drastically wrong in his life...
And what I noticed, too: I don't want to sound harsh, but this is what happened: Dora broke up with him. Woo, big deal. Yes, it's depressing, but it's nothing really drastic. Drastic would be discovering he or one of his family or friends had a severe illness or something, and I think his mother is right to try and lighten the mood with jokes and embarrassment and baby pictures (yes, I'd be angry out too if my mother did this to me, but at least I'd be angry, not moping).
...I think his mother is right to try and lighten the mood with jokes and embarrassment and baby pictures (yes, I'd be angry out too if my mother did this to me, but at least I'd be angry, not moping).
I think this might be the moment when Marten breaks and the walls come crumbling down. The real question might be, what are we going to find once they're down? Simmering mass of anger and hatred about to blow, or another set of walls of quiet acceptance?
Put it this way, if its the former, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone was told a few home truths.
What I find most hilarious is the expression on the girls' faces.She is trying so, SO hard not to laugh. But she's more or less laughing because the other two are ROTFL.
Et tu, Hanners?
EDIT: I'm thinking the proposal by TED is too far out of character for Marten. C'mon, asking Marten to suddenly change and become serious and emo is like asking Weird Al Yankovic to do Shakespeare.He doesn't do Shakespeare, but Weird Al's music is kindda poetic, isn't it? :psyduck:
With you on that jwhouk; third panel Hannelore is the most adorable Hanners.What I find most hilarious is the expression on the girls' faces.She is trying so, SO hard not to laugh. But she's more or less laughing because the other two are ROTFL.

Is there no end to Marten's embarrassment? But will he fly into a rage, simmer resentfully, or just reach a state of mute acceptance?The appropriate response would be to tell Mom to lock up when she leaves and then walk out on her. Sadly, Marten is probably too nice a guy to do the right thing here. His mom really needs a sharp lesson. Such blatant disregard for her son's feelings is egregious.
It looks just like a Telefunken U47.
I think we've seen the sum total of his response to this - "Goddammit, mom!"
I kind of disagree with his depression being a 'whoo, big deal' kind of thing. When you're in a long-term relationship and it just...ends like that, particularly the way that it did, it can feel like someone died. Hell, after my last break-up I cried for weeks and still had moments as far as six months out after where I'd find myself driving into work and some U2 song or something would come on the radio and the next thing I knew, tears were streaming down my face. He really loved Dora, and now she's gone.
That being said, I agree that his mom's totally doing the right thing in trying to pull him out of it,
When I had a break-up vaguely similar to Marten's, I even tried telling myself "it's just a break-up, what's the big deal?" Didn't prevent several months of on-and-off depression.
I still don't see why "humiliating him, repeatedly, in front of his boss (and other friends)" is thought to be a good idea.
After all, dildo's are the comic relief of the sex industry!
Any industry, really. There's just something about the penis...Indeed. Try to doodle a penis, and see if you can hold the laugh..
Also, Veronica seems pretty split on the issue herself... her facial expression tells me that she did not expect her son up so quickly.Yea, got the same feeling myself and also got the feeling that she knows that she went too far.
There are only two things a mother (or a father, for that matter) can do for someone who's been through an emotional upheaval;Couldn't have said it better. When all is said and done, the main reason she's in the city is Marten. She's there for him. Admittably, she might embarrass/shock him quite a bit but in the end he knows it too.
1) Be there for him. Veronica offered murder, tongue-in-cheek (I presume), and hasn't had much of a chance beyond that, what with lunch, meeting Tai, and nap time. These were (relatively) public places, not a place where he can open up and she can provide comfort. I expect that shortly, when the lady's league breaks up and exits, she'll have some alone time with him, and he'll have a chance to open up. Whether we see that or not, I think it's the main reason she's come to see him.
It's going to be interesting to see what her confrontation with Dora is going to be like.
Come on, she's come all this way, she can't leave before she goes and sees her.

...I held the book hostage until she took the picture out and promised to never bring it up around anyone again.
Look, I know parents love their children and want to remember every one of their milestones, but there are some milestones that are best left as memories and not as pictures and/or videos.
Sweet-Tits is reading Ass Magazine.
that's Ass Aficionado Magazine, thank you very much.
Your comment made me think, about how drunk he was because Dora broke up with him. Or when Faye told him she couldn't be together with him.
Why is that hitting him so hard, and why does he think drinking makes it better? He planned to get drunk. ALONE. (Yes, that makes it worse. If he'd started the emergency burbon with Faye, that would have been totally different).
And what I noticed, too: I don't want to sound harsh, but this is what happened: Dora broke up with him. Woo, big deal. Yes, it's depressing, but it's nothing really drastic. -clip-(yes, I'd be angry out too if my mother did this to me, but at least I'd be angry, not moping).
I had a similar experience as Marten.
My mom showed me some scrapbooks she'd put together a few years ago, and while looking through them, I find a picture of me in my potty-training phase sitting on one of those little kid chairs, the one with the bowl/bucket underneath to catch the product. That would have been bad enough on its own, but it gets worse. Not only was I sitting on my potty-trainer chair, I was butt-naked and wearing a Burger King crown with a stupid smile plastered on my face. Mom tried defending its placement in the book because it was "a cute picture" (her words, not mine), but I held the book hostage until she took the picture out and promised to never bring it up around anyone again.

How did you know I was also making an icon of little Marty in his halloween costume and why were you mean enough to beat me to the punch. You suck.
I'm just gonna say it: It's wrong that I thought the picture would have the dildo in Marten's mouth, isn't it?My thought was that it would be a pic of him as a baby (it is a baby book after all...) with him sitting up and him holding the dildo upright between his legs.
He looks like he could have been swordfighting with it (hurr hurr "swordfight"). Delator. I hate you. And you can read minds. How did you know I was also making an icon of little Marty in his halloween costume and why were you mean enough to beat me to the punch. You suck.
Nice icon though :-D
I actually don't understand genuine horror at sharing baby photos. Everyone has some, I mean, unless you're excessively into seeming "cool" at all times I don't see the issue. And yeah, there are plenty of naked pictures of me as a kid, it was hard to keep my clothes on!
You know, that picture isn't nearly as bad as it sounded like. And really, from the sounds of it, this isn't the first time she's shown off that picture, and I think his complaints sound sort of more pro forma than actual.
Today we learned that QC exists in a universe where wiggle lines show up in photographs! #christmasmiracle
Wow, young Veronica does look a lot like Dora! :-o
Except for the mouth, the hair length, and the fact that Dora's a natural blonde.

The hair is irrelevant, and they're not identical of course, but the shape of the face, eyes and nose are quite similar. And I think there was a comic where someone (Veronica herself I believe) commented on the similarity between her younger self and Dora; I thought it was cool that it actually shows in this picture.

Actually, looking at that more closely, I'd say that the young Veronica looks a lot more to me like Raven. Of course, the last time we saw Raven and Dora together, I was hard pressed at times to tell the two of them apart (except for Raven's little mole). Or maybe this is just more evidence of me missing Raven. >.>
Also, in 984 (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=984) Faye’s complaint to Sven is pretty much the same as Marten’s drunken complaint to Faye in 1818.
Given that other than Sven, and as far as I am concerned, I don't know as the term should really be applied to Sven, I haven't seen any evidense that Faye has ever dated a "dick".Well, for one thing, it would not be too much of a stretch to say that Faye dated Sven's dick more than she dated Sven himself. :-D

There's an interesting phenomenon that occurs with subsequent siblings - there are always hundreds, if not thousands, of pictures of first children. Not quite as many for second children, fewer still for third children, and so on. For my baby brother (the fourth child in the family) we were hard pressed to find any pics between the hospital and kindergarten, just a few snapshots and the inevitable posed group pictures of all four of us...Oo, good point! I was an only child. My partner was the middle child of 5 though, and he's the only one who didn't get a baby album from his parents. :-P
Ahhhhaha. This reminds me of my poor sod, best friend, who bravely told me his childhood story which I will share.
He was probably under 5 years old or so, and managed to get into his mother's bedroom. Ever the curious cat, he picked up a dildo and was fascinated by it. It vibrates, and rocks around to his amusement, but to this day, God why did he do it... he still doesn't know, as for some strange instinct he actually put the dildo in his mouth like a baby would with toys. At that moment his mother came into the room, looking down upon his son with a dildo in the mouth and shrieked......
(P.S. He is now happily married with beautiful wife and a son, and most likely doesn't have any dildos in the house to avoid repeating the unfortunate incident.)
(P.S.S. Oh Hi everyone :-D )
BAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
And Ms. Vance/Reed takes it home for the win! Seriously Pintsize, I appreciate the effort, zany robot antics are what you do, but trying to step up on a nationally famous professional dominatrix? Seriously? Our lovely, well-aged lady of the evening has probably seen things that would melt your circuits.
"Memorializing the achievements of individuals considered as members of families (as well as of other groups) is the earliest popular use of photography. For at least a century, the wedding photograph has been as much a part of the ceremony as the prescribed verbal formulas. Cameras go with family life. According to a sociological study done in France, most households have a camera, but a household with children is twice as likely to have at least one camera as a household in which there are no children. Not to take pictures of one's children, particularly when they are small, is a sign of parental indifference, just as not turning up for one's graduation picture is a gesture of adolescent rebellion." On Photography, Susan Sontag, 1977.*Uh, the main issue with digital photography is how SLOW it is. A full half sec between pressing the button and picture taken is actually already considered FAST.
Or in other words, if your parents have lots of embarrassing photos of you as a little kid, think yourself fortunate. They thought you were special!
*Still very much worth reading, incidentally. Sontag's total lack of interest in the technicalities of photography means that it mostly hasn't dated with the changes since the 1970s (Though I will go on using my Nikon FM2 until they stop making 35mm film. Why do modern DSLRs have to be so bloated?).
DELETED LAST LINE:
Marten: My Godfather?
I think Faye throwing Pintsize across the room is the highlight of this strip. She's discovered the ethical alternative to dwarf-tossing.
I assume the 'bloat' Akima referred to is what is commonly called 'feature creep.'
All a skilled photographer really needs is a way to control aperture and shutter speed, a built in meter, and a way to tell if the image is in focus.
Most of the SLR's that are sold today, digital or otherwise, have so many metering modes and other settings that most users have no idea when to use what.
Oh, by the way, we've figured something out:
Faye's left-handed.
DwarfAnthroPC tossing can be done with either hand. I get the feeling we've seen her as a righty before, so maybe she's ambidextrous (swings both ways).
ha, i remember the first time i looked at goatse... Those were the days when i was with hopes and dreams about the future.
Now i'm full of memes... :psyduck:
Gotta agree on that. The whole scale of emotions is just marvelous (Marten's panicky expression in first panel, Faye's annoyance and anger on second, the whole gang's waiting curiosity and the final.. the sheer horror on everybody's face is simply priceless).
Not only that, but her expression when she does it - in one glance you get the whole of "Oh for fuck's sake, Pintsize, not now!"
In fact, all the expressions are great. I think I'm also wondering how Marten knew exactly what Pintsize was doing... those two are more closely connected than it seems...
This comic cracked me up. Awesome. Even though goatse is soooo disturbing. :psyduck:Totally same here. Although the initial reaction was kind of "the horror.. the horror!", especially after reading Jeph's newspost, I found myself laughing SO HARD (after the initial shock/grossout ofc). Now im just wondering, has the internet spoiled the last fragments of decency from my mind :evil:
I'm just glad I'm not full of memes. It sounds uncomfortable...It is. The worst part about being full of memes, is that i'm literally full of memes. :psyduck:

Seriously, if Faye hadn't thrown Pintsize across the room, would this have been one of the rare moments when the lil' bastard would have been left speechless. We'll never know. (actually i can remember only one (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1200) case of shocked Pintsize)

Two things that just occurred to me while I was taking a whiz:
How likely is Dora to fire Cosette for "cursing" her relationship with Marten (is it even likely to cross her mind?)?
And what will Tortura make of Cosette, and vice versa, should they ever meet?
Seems 'twas not to be. Grateful for the comic-shaped thing anyway. Are those black wavy lines passed gas?
I've avoided Pintsize's twitter. I've never attempted to visit this "4chan" thing because of all the horrifying things I have heard. I've never even clicked on a link from this damned forum! Now, however, I just had to look up this "goatse" to get a better grip on this comic... I suppose the character's expressions should have been a clue, but still- why, Jeph, whyyy?!No offense, but are you new to the Internet or something? Goatse is a relic of a meme from before the year 2000. Everyone has heard of goatse, I thought. Even my brother knows what it is, and he's never even registered an e-mail address despite being five years younger than me.
I suggest you look up Tubgirl.
QuoteI suggest you look up Tubgirl.
Why would you tell anyone to look up that horrible picture. I've never actually been goatse'd or seen the tubgirl picture, but I know what they both are and I just have to say... I'd never tell anyone to look up to Tubgirl.
...Or Yelling Bird.
Not that it will make a difference, little bastard will show up either way, but at least you'll have plausible deniablity.
Akima, Tergon, Kugai, and the rest of the far eastern contingent, the new year's already upon you. Soon, it will hit snubnose, pwhodges, and the other Europeans. Then it's our turn in the states, slowly moving west. Eventually, the Hawaiians and other pacific islanders will be able to welcome 2011 (do we have anyone on Guam?)Happy New Year to all! We had champers and excellent fireworks over the harbour seen from the roof of a friend's apartment building. Now I can start looking forward to my second New Year in February. :angel:
I proclaim this the year of Marigold!
Happy New Year, but how did you not see that coming. Although three hours of traffic seems a bit rough, lacking in A-Z-fu?
Happy New Year and I continue my annual tradition of seeing it in with a case of the flu.Sympathies. But it's down to your hemisphere's poor taste in having New Year in mid-winter. :lol:
