We end the year with Sweetits (and, assumingly Yelling Bird and Randy).
I plan on putting up a year-end "moment of the year" poll next week; post your nominees!
-
I hate Randy, but voted for his nose so bright anyway.
Is it the Pride Orb nowadays?
-
How can anyone hate Randy? How is that possible? O_o
-
I would love to see A Christmas Carol with Yelling Bird as Scrooge...
-
I'd love to see a backreference to the QC characters from the YB+ST subuniverse the way Sweet Tits shows up sometimes.
-
Harriet the Spy grew up into Sweet-Tits? (Also how did she find out her name, I thought she didn't even know it.)
-

Clearly she read it from the script.
-
No, the correct answer is that she is a spy.
-

Im sorta with skewbrow and YB on this one. I think he's super irritating. He's supposed to be that though so I think he's a pretty good character and I like him a lot because I hate him if that makes any sense...
-
That girl is a spy!
-
Or is that just what she wants you to think?
I got nothing.
-
YB and Sweet Tits for an early Christmas! Yay!!!!
Was almost as exited as when I found out that Christopher Lee has a version of "Little Drummer Boy" out.
-
There aren't too many girls named Harriet anymore. When I read the comic, I honestly had somehow forgot that name had existed.
-
My sister's best childhood friend was called Harriet. But we knew her as "Widdy" - I have no idea why!
My sister (in boat) and Widdy (on shore) in about 1960 or 61.

My mother built the boat.

Howdy, folks! long time reader, but I came to the forums... in pursuit of an ANSWER :psyduck:
an answer to a burning question: who the fuck is harriet, and what is the nature of a sweet tit?
muchly appreciated if you could answer this please yes
yes
-
Harriet.
Harriet was my grandmother's name.
Harriet?
HARRIET?????
HARRIET?????

Heh, I dunno, I don't find him irritating at all, I like him almost as much as Shebly, and Shebly is awesome. I mean yeah, differing opinions, but how is he supposed to be irritating? YB's funny, but YB's also a terrible person bird, so YB hating Randy doesn't make Randy irritating.
-
I suspect Andy might take issue (http://questionablecontent.net./view.php?comic=1569) with the "unlov - ed?" line, but otherwise, there's this... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XcEBJvbJ_zg
Harriet was also the name of one of the student editors of a college newspaper I wrote for, but that was back in the mid 90's so she probably doesn't qualify as a girl any more.

Constant exposure to an endless litany of "hi, I'm randy" would probably drive me to distraction too, but beyond that Randy's eternalness makes me want to take him apart a few times to see what makes him tick.
Is "I want to vivisect you a few times but its only because I know you'll get better" hatred? I don't understand human emotions properly, sorry.

My mother's first two names were Harriet Faye.
Sadly, nobody I know is named Sweet Tits.

I don't know if that's hatred exactly but I wouldn't classify it as affection. After watching Madoka Magica I am not a fan of eternal animals and I'm sure others who watched share my feelings. I sympathize with YB in the case of Randy.

I'm kind of indifferent to Randy, but I can't help but smile when I see him. :P

That. Same with Shebly, which means that this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1661) makes me quite happy indeed.

The coloring/drawing pages make me wonder if we're supposed to take the recent insight we've gotten and apply it to whether we think he's been good. :P

Well, he will get very similar limbs in both cases anyway. For good robot he will get dick and pussy tentacles, for bad robot he will get plush non-functional dick and pussy tentacles
-
In either case, I fear what will come of what people can come up with...

Since Pintsize has been extremely naughty this year, Santa sentenced him to forced labour (http://www.flickr.com/photos/26113930@N06/8306174023/in/photostream).

Poor Pintsize, how is he supposed to unwrap those boxes with box limbs?

Oh, Jimbo... it's somewhere between Twilight, Les Miserables, and Girl Genius.
-
Sorcery 101 strip woo!
I do love when artists from other webcomics I follow come on as guests :-D a good christmas present I'd say.
-
What.
Oh, is this a Jimbo story? OK. Still, completely out of nowhere.
-
"Dr. Hetronormative", Tai must be pleased.
-
Uh... Beyond that reference to a throwaway line, what makes this a QC guest-strip? Usually even the more out-there guest strips involve more QC stuff than this
-
Besides the added allusion to "Girl Genius," it's all a reference to the works of Jimbo -- pretty much all from the same strip in which Tai makes her "heteronormative" reference.
-
No, he mentioned at the nerdcon that he was working on it.

Antoinette Banemoon (http://www.questionablecontent.net/1526).
Yes, it's an exception, in that it doesn't have any QC characters in it.
-
Hilarious guest strip today. Usually I don't like them because they take away from the main strip IMO, but this was just pure comedy gold and a great callback to the olden daze. (Why do you never hear of "newen" anything?)
-
It is a nice sketch of Claire, though, even if Jeph is snowed in.
-
Jeph's situation reminds me of "Trapped in Paradise"...I hope he didn't try to knock over a bank.
Nice Claire sketch. Cute ^.^
-
Is there supposed to be something on the home page? I just see a blank space where a comic would be.
-
There's a sketch pf Claire; photographed with his phone, so it's a jpeg, not a png or gif..
-
Same here, but I'm using IE on a new (!!) computer, and I guess It's just not configured right or something.
I "viewed source" and found the image address in the code;
http://www.questionablecontent.net/images/snowedin.jpg
so, there you have it. Don't know how to get IE to show it - gotta download Firefox.
-
The page is corrupt; it contains a malformed comment which the browsers are reacting differently to (the terminator is "--!>" instead of "-->"; strictly IE is probably being the good boy here), and the top menu still sees yesterday's comic as the last. Jeph probably edited the page in a hurry or under adverse circumstances, or even on his iPhone.
-
I noticed the odd closer - Firefox has been downloaded and shows it fine. It strikes me that the close-bracket (>) should allow the following command to be read anyway, even if the previous command is corrupt; in that respect, I'm surprised IE is so unforgiving, especially since it's still able to show all the other items that follow the corrupt code, such as the links list and ads...
But that's a whole different tirade.
-
FF shows it fine.
To Jeph from Ray Charles:
Why does every single thing I see
Look exactly like a doodle to me?
If I ever have a doubt
What life is all about
I get my pencil out and then commence to doodlin'
And I find it real relaxing
'Specially when I feel that life is really taxing!
-
AAAH! I just read the newspost - the man's just over an hour from my house! There are only two comfort inn's anywhere near Harrisburg, and only one of them makes sense based on traveling to MA through NY....
SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
god, I'm such a fucking fangirl...
-
Be careful driving.
-
You should go there, shake his hand and say that you represent his forum. You'll probably survive.
-
He'll be OK if he says he's one of the PonyLeaks guest strippers.
-
If Jeph offers you a burrito, politely refuse it.
-
did anyone NOT draw dick limbs on pintsize? (not me, i drew big veiny ones)
-
I'd refuse one from the Shame Orb, especially if the freezer's full of burritos.
-
Observe...yesssss...the
little hatssss burritosss...yessss...
-
I prefer the one where the......"animal" poops candy at random intervals. Um.....oh wait, I don't go to that site anymore. Nevermind.
-
...at least they have a wrapper...
-
god, I'm such a fucking fangirl...
There's a fine line between fangirl and creepy stalker...or was that groupie... :psyduck:
...Let me ride shotgun. :mrgreen:
-
Interesting
-
Ok, wow, that was just fucking weird, even compared to other holiday comics.
-
I think I would tell Yelling Bird I don't have any orifices either if he asked. Even if several were clearly visible.
-
You'd have to use at least one to divulge that information in an audible form (unless you are clever enough to use pre-recorded programmed messages).
But even your own lack of orifices would not deter Yelling Bird (his damn cloaca has more storage space than an aircraft hangar. Hammerspace bird? :psyduck: )
-
Does that read "Gas Station Burrito", and does that describe the source of the alleged food item, or its effect on the person who eats it?
-
It does indeed say that. As for the meaning...could be both.
-
I strongly oppose Space Ham as a substitute for Waffles.
I'm a vegetarian. I dont do Space Ham. Also, Waffles, man, Waffles !!!
-
Would be interesting, I think, to see Jeph's speculation on roller-grill food. You know, hotdogs, cheese dogs, those breakfast-torpedo things. They're not even individually wrapped for your protection (tasty, though, when you're in a hurry).

Are we really on page 2 on Friday? I know it's a non-standard week during a holiday, but still...dang.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sGPdYuciShA
While I disagree on the other voices, that's the PERFECT voice for Shame Orb.

The other voices are too South Park-y for me. But yeah, perfect Shame Orb voice.

Waffles contain more bacon fat per ton than most commercial grades of ham.
Also, who says spathe ham is made of meat? Could be genetically engineered Agaricus bisporus grown to titanic size in the 0-g solarium.
-

I would be very surprised if waffles contain specifically bacon fat, or even any meat fat, at all. I'm sure they do contain fat of some kind, but the recipes I looked at either specified butter (which can be acceptable to some vegetarians, if probably not to vegans) or margarine (which is acceptable to all vegetarians if made from vegetable oil).
Space ham on the other hand I would expect to be synthesised from mycoprotein or something. Raising pigs in space would be very wasteful, especially if one wished to avoid this sort of thing (http://www.wspa.org.au/Images/intensive_pig_farming_175_tcm30-1463.jpg).
-

What kind of waffles do you EAT?!
Also, I could see genetically grown "ham" that's really a vegetable protein, yeah. "WE ARE WORKING ON THAT TECHNOLOGY."

That was more of a sarcastic aside about the quality of the ham you can buy in plastic packets than it was a dissertation on waffle recipes; I consider serving ‘meat’ that's been "plumped" by water injection and chemically tinted pink like that to be a mortal insult, almost as bad as chicken nuggets. "Mechanically recovered" my ass. *rage*
-
Mechanically recovered (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanically_separated_meat) means something completely different.
Think Pink Slime. :-P
-
Time was (say, late 1970s, or early 1980s; I discovered this while eating lunch in the school cafeteria in seventh grade) one could, by squinting at the ingredient list on a package of any of the chocolate-like snacks offered up by a currently-defunct commercial pastry maker, discern the words, "May Contain Beef Fat."
"MAY CONTAIN ... "
I still remember, after all these years, my tablemate's explanation: "The cow that was sh!tting in it to make it brown fell in one of the vats. They're not sure which one."
-
Space ham made from actual porkers?
Yeah, right, when pigs fly.
-
Smithers: Will you be donating that million dollars now, sir?
Burns: No, I'd still prefer not.

Admit it, it works.

I like MDBS's link for the Shame Orb's voice, but I'm not too big of a fan of
Sweet-Tits's Harriet's voice.

Meh, I don't figure the Shame Orb to sound mechanical for some reason. I always just imagine it as a really loud, deep grating guy-voice. Kinda like Seth Rogen with a little Brian Blessed mixed in.
Also, I laugh at Bev's misfortune and sympathize at the same time.
-
Bev?

She saw where it came from and still she picked it up in her bare hands. Harriet, Harriet ...

Yeah, that was one of my first thoughts, seeing that. What if it's got bean grease all over it? Lord knows I've had enough experience with gas station burritos to know...you gotta use gloves. 0_o;;

I finally got around to listening to the voice-over...somehow, I think Ignignokt (http://aqua-teen-hunger-force.wikia.com/wiki/Ignignokt) (of the ATHF Mooninites) has a more appropriate voice...just my opinion. XD

See, this is exactly why I had that neural firewall installed. Stupid pink elephants.

Is that the kind of firewall that's alcohol fueled?

Nope. Burns pure caffeine, such pretty colours….
-
I always imagined Yelling Bird sounding like Gilbert Gottfried.
-
He does a great job Narrating Fifty Shades of Grey (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5K1RcKJVbHA), so I think he'd do well doing Yelling Bird.
-
That was annoying me all afternoon, too. I remembered the voice (how the hell can you forget a voice like that?), but the name screwed me up...
