Oh, sure, Corsetto can ship them...
Oh, sure, Corsetto can ship them...Haha, that was my first thought as well. On the other hand, how many guest comics have made their take on QC one that Jeph would never do? I think that's what makes them fun and interesting. I suppose I wouldn't have expected anything else from the famed GWS writer.
Wow.... a forest of sex toys.... And Marigold doodled Hanners on one of them..... thats just....non-canon.
One could argue that it's semi-canon.
That Hanners really does have a suit made of space rubber.One could argue that it's semi-canon.
What would that mean?

Still... if a guest comic strip is just 'semi-canon' by default, then saying something is semi-canon isn't really saying much except that it appeared as a strip.Well, it's saying that the author, the One True Generator of Canon, looked it over and waved it on. Without that wave it's not canon, and if he says "this is part of the story" then it's canon even if not technically made by him. I recall that this happened with Harry Potter, with Rowling approving of some fanfiction that filled in gaps she didn't write about.
She needs them to make a broom.You win so hard.
So is the D now for Dildoes? Doesn't roll off the tongue as well... or on it :evil:She needs them to make a broom.You win so hard.

Or consider them Star Trek novels (characterization and backstory all over the map) instead of Star Wars novels (under such tight approval by Lucas that, if you see it between book covers, it's canon)?Less apt comparison than most think. Two of the Voyager books were actually considered canon at the time though their status now is questionable. Additionally, since Roddenberry died there's been no singular arbiter of canonicity for Trek. [/randomnerdtangent]
Also, was one of those toys a dolphin? :psyduck: Eye also spye a spring, a kittie, and a lady bug (heh, not a lady anymore.)
And to start the week DICKS!!!

Just to mess with your minds, here's Jeph's last tweet of a sketch from the con: QC YAOI (http://yfrog.com/gz9dmftij).
OK, after this last guest strip, which was funny (as was Pintsize threatening humanity with death by boners boners boobs), I believe that "shipping" and portmanteaus should be absolutely permitted. If Jeph can handle Hanners face being inserted into Marigold, then he can handle people saying they should hook up. Just saying.

Love the epic Dora burn he managed to slide in at the last second. :laugh:I don't know if it's a real super power, if every f.... person on this planet has it.
Huh, it looks like Danielle Corsetto AND Randy Milholland have drawn guest strips for Jeph! This should be good!This one is good, but the earlier one is better.
I wonder if Mr. Milholland can possibly outdo himself (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1875)...
It's like Mr. Milholland knows exactly which buttons to push... and then takes to them with a cartoonishly over-sized mallet.
What happened to the poll? I voted yesterday...
...and again today.
Well, of course. Danielle also knows about that secret Jamie/Hazel slashfic that Jeph has on his computer. :psyduck:Somewhat different when you consider that Ms. Corsetto is sometimes known to openly ship-tease Jamie/Hazel. Granted the attraction is one-sided if it exists at all, and thus nothing could ever come of it, but it's slightly different of a situation than Marigold and Hannelore who... as far as I know have never shown any signs of attraction. There's a good, close friendship blooming, but anything else is pure wishful thinking.
Plan C: Marten as Boneless Wings Boy.
So to recap:Guest week 2011: The Week of Hannelore shenanigans!
- Chris Hallbeck, Maximumble and Book of Biff (Five minimalist strips)
- Dave Willis, Shortpacked and Dumbing of Age (Hanners and Buttwiping)
- Dave Kellett, Sheldon and Drive (Hanners' old friend DefenseNet-10)
- Evan Dahm, Rice Boy (Coffee of Doom Snapshot)
- Zach Weiner, Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal (Hannelore discovers Pintsize's Secret!)
- Danielle Corsetto, Girls With Slingshots (Marigold's Secret Drawer)
- Randy Milholland, Something*Positive (She's NOT PIZZA GIRL! Right, Garlic Bread Kitty?)
Notice which character appeared in ALL SEVEN GUEST STRIPS.
And I want SOMEONE to color today's strip!
Nice reference (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108526/) Jeph made there.
...also, it's Saturday at the earliest, and that was Wednesday at the latest ("date on Friday," not "date tomorrow")...Shhh! Raven's a genius; she can't possibly be wrong! Clearly the tinkering with the espresso machine caused the entire universe to lose a couple days.
And then Marten was transformed into a bowl of petunias and his only thoughts were merely "Oh no, not again"Apparently the Internet has completed its corruption of my skimming reading abilities, because I at first read that as "a bowl of penises".
And has Raven always had a kanji tattoo, or is that something new? (and can anyone read it?)
Since nobody has pointed it out yet:
Brick Joke trope!

I assumed that Jeph, in a subtle way, had referenced something from my childhood.
I'm sure you can see where "It's Back" in reference to an espresso machine shaped like a dinosaur is comparable to "We're Back," a movie about dinosaurs.

Also, Flat What.
Also, I tried to find if there was an Adams' Law on TvTropes, but then decided actually finding it would be extremely unlikely.
It took me a minute to realize he meant Douglas Adams... I was left thinking, "is this the guy who told us not to buy any Orson Scott Card books without giving an equal amount to GLAAD?"

You can think that all you like, but as a two word statement about something that left abruptly, "It's back!" is pretty innocuous.
Just another fine example of a viewer seeing something that probably hadn't even crossed the artists mind...
I'll get banned again

Douglas Adams*commits seppuku at his grievous mistake*
*Douglas* Adams
There is a huge difference
Although I do find Dilbert pretty funny
Edit: so basically that looks like the worst haiku ever, however it is simply a result of me reading too much Achewood and starting to talk like Roast Beef
sorry about that
I'll be eloquently blunt: I would visit no fewer than a thousand passionate ravishing's upon Raven's person, posthaste. If she were real. And open to the idea. And just as much because of her mind as her body. Again, if she were real. I'll stop now.
What in the world? What kind of insane troll logic is that? (not refering to Near Lurker, but to whoever near Lurker is quoting.)
Personally I fail to see the relevance of the comment at all. It probably just went over my head, but I don't see any connection between Adams and the LGBT agenda.

Many of the secondary and incidental characters bear a remarkable likeness to main characters.
Either there are only so many faces Jeph can draw, or it's a much smaller new england town than we realized...
:roll:
This is not a continuity error. It's proof that Dora has indeed been replaced by a replicant. As per my hot sexy fanfiction.
Can't see any other explanation for her suddenly saying "Do you know who that guy is?", when it's not the first time they've all met.
Now the Pugnacious Peach gets her work in front of well-heeled collectors. This could end very well indeed.
Assuming Faye will be up to the extra work she'll have to do when more orders start coming in. This is where many hobbyists fail to turn a profit, 'cause it suddenly stops being fun and too much like work.
Hmm... Raven's a physics major? "Parallel entanglement processing core" sounds like kind of a compsci thing...
My assumption has always been that Jeph was aware that that particular character could mean both "princess" and "concubine", and that was the hidden humor behind it.I've never been sure how far Jeph's playing with Raven's tattoo is intentional. In its first appearance the tattoo was in Chinese (公主) while Raven thought it was Japanese, and I assumed that was part of the joke considering the general cluelessness of getting tattoos in a language you cannot read. Jeph has now corrected the tattoo to 姫, which is the Japanese variant of the Chinese 姬, (which, as you point out, is pronounced jī and can indeed mean "concubine"). Playing with multiple meanings of characters is a very Chinese thing to do, and certainly in Raven's case the double meaning is very appropriate, so maybe Jeph is slipping us a Bilingual Bonus (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/BilingualBonus). A third, rather archaic, usage of 姬 means "female entertainer", which is also remarkably apposite. Props for taking the trouble to include the tone number in your romanization BTW, though I prefer the more elegant diacritics even if they are more difficult to type.

hmm, she could cut back on CoD hours, let Hanners/Cosette/Raven pick up the slack.

Apart from suddenly making a mental connection... nah, too obvious.

Since her mind is a projection of Jeph's imagination, I'd say that makes you gay. :wink:

I'll read the thread in a bit; the poll is most interesting, with that nice curve from least to most recent. Were the more recent ones really better, or do forumgoers just have short memories?
Quantum entanglement is a physics thing, and being concerned (loosely!) with action at a distance is appropriate to refer to here. It's a compsci thing only to the extent that it might be involved in some aspects of quantum computing.
Nah, they're not gonna get back together. I was the same way with my first ex-girlfriend in college; she ended it, we stayed good friends for the rest of the year, and the very first time we hung out we both thought of the last time we had sex. Pretty common when you switch abruptly from intimate partners to platonic friends.Hmm. I've never really stayed friend with the people I dated, so...
Ooh, yeah. That was way better.
Boy, that last panel has got me thinking how the sex was.
Let's put this way: Has Veronica Vance pretty much turned off Marten to nearly every form of sex out there?

Actually I was under the impression they had an active, healthy sex life, minus the Slayer mishap (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1199). Marten certainly wasn't above regularly having shower sex (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1694).
I remember having the same discussion with my ex. Only we ended up boinking. And we didn't stay friends. :|
Of course, my ex dropped out of school the next year, joined the Navy, and is now in West Virginia, so hopefully Dora's isn't *exactly* like my ex.
4. pwhodges... Bringing up bad sex in conversation, probably agreed. Good sex, on the other hand... :evil:
But will Marten get free coffee again??
Marten still looks tired and ragged over it all.I think there's something about the 'TEH' shirts that just makes Marten look naturally tired or ragged. Potentially the colour...

I thought in one strip Dora said that Marten viewed sex in....Utilitarian terms? (and I can't find the ^^&^$ strip....)

Urgh, been there, done that... in two different relationships. :| It's not a good idea, IMO; generally speaking, if you've decided to break up with someone, the break-up happened for a reason and getting back together will just bring back all the old problems.
*Sigh*... And now, I'm depressing myself by thinking about the last time I had sex with my... er... I was going to say "girlfriend" but it would be more accurate to say my "it's complicated." :p
Who's in the crate, Dora?
He fit in that crate? Man, he must be a slim Jim.*badumtish* Now go sit in the corner for the next hour as punishment.
oh god what have I done
