Momo could temporarily transfer into her old chassis and be a cute flower girl. She might not enjoy the idea though.Momo would still be a cute flower girl in her current chassis.
I voted for Bubbles as the funniest option.
I'm thinking that it will be Momo. While Dora knows Sam, she isn't close enough that I think she'd feel comfortable asking Sam to be part of the wedding party. Emily, on the other hand, would just end up being too random to corral into any fixed role!Or the machine she designed to fancifully toss flowers would become the first techno-organic creature.
If you're an American, taxes are due Monday.
Would be funny if it were Raven though.I completely spaced on including her in the list!
Marten can't be a flower person. He showers regularly and has a job.

Besides, I have a strong feeling that he'll end up giving away one of the ladies in question.

Or he could get an online divinity degree and perform the ceremony.Or bring the woman (https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2396) (she looks like a Unitarian-Universalist minister to me) who officiated at Henry's and Maurice's wedding.
Flower girls are typically children and there are none in this cast.Samantha, as noted above.

Maybe Dora and Tai could be talked into having a "snake girl" instead.Flower girls are typically children and there are none in this cast.Samantha, as noted above.
Imagine Sam trying to "ew!" her way out of it.

I think that Faye was genuinely into Angus but this emotional stake had developed before they questioned whether their desires for the future went in the same direction. That, if nothing else, is the parallel between them and Marten and Claire's relationship because Claire is too insecure to look to the future and Marten too unwilling to rock the boat. So, maybe that's the lesson to learn: Marten and Claire need to be sure that they really do want to be together no matter what before some major decision gate appears on the path immediately ahead. FWIW, in retrospect, Jeph made it clear that Faye didn't have that confidence, given how she started drinking heavily the moment the possibility of Angus moving away presented itself.
Maybe Dora and Tai could be talked into having a "snake girl" instead.Oh dear god, no! That would be the worst idea in the long, sad history of bad ideas. Sam would probably take it onto herself to go into the woods, get loads of snakes and release them during the ceremony.
Faye used to describe the end of Angus in different terms (https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2923)
Mieville. Mieville will be the flower girl.But will Mieville be high as a kite whilst doing it?

This is true but there is this thing called 'character development' as well as the passage of time.
Remember that when Faye and Angus split, Faye was still abusing alcohol on a regular basis. Which goes a way toe plain her self loathing evidenced in her statement. She's in recovery now, supported by her friends and at least one other person who she has a strong emotional attachment to. She may be looking at things with a new sense of herself.Are you typing on an Amazon Fire tablet too? I get the weirdest goddamn autocorrect artifacts if I'm not paying close attention.
Consider what might have happened if she uprooted herself, lost her community, felt isolated in New York. Her al nihilism would have gotten worse and things may have ended tragically.
My manager mentioned the other day that she had the same birthday as the second president, John Quincey Adams.
I couldn't let that one go either...
:-P

So, to recall Jeph's rant on social media around when one of the characters called a snake's bite 'poisonous', I am willing to bet that Jeph knows which Roosevelt but Faye doesn't.
Eeh, I dunno. As Jeph said at Henry and Maurice's wedding, they're basically theatre and I can't see Tai turning down the chance to put on a show!
We're talking about her wedding, tho'.Eeh, I dunno. As Jeph said at Henry and Maurice's wedding, they're basically theatre and I can't see Tai turning down the chance to put on a show!
Agreed. But Tai has a lot of sense, and woudn't usurp someone else's wedding.
(Still no Dora and Tai bits. DAMN IT JEPH....)Well, you see, Jeph decided to kick the can down the road. :claireface:
We'll probably know when Tai gives Marten another power hug. Or another break up.
Since it will take some time before Claire finds out for sure (oh, hell. She did great) that particular arc can go onto a simmer. Jeph does strips full of feels, Tai and Dora work towards a yes, and maybe we see Hanners or others drop in for a visit. Call me a cockeyed optimist, but I'd like some happy endings.
... and we have Jim (since it appears to me Jim and his ex have shared custody over Sam, it can't be that bad).Oh, yes it can! Although I have to note that Jim and his ex don't seem to be using Sam as the rope in a tug-of-war. Far too many couples do.
Something tells me that Claire has, since she tore apart a load of official documentation because she "didn't take orders from home wreckers" and nearly blew everything, gone to a lot of effort to teach herself to control her temper. It's sort of a new thing for her to be so restrained and I'm wondering if she was even really that anxious or if she was just feeling that she had to make out that she was that anxious for some reason!I hesitated to post this since I am not a trans woman, but I was reminded by Claire's reaction (last panel) of how TERFs (and probably others, but I've seen it mostly from TERFs) will take any expression of anger from trans women, especially physical, and argue that as violence that stems from them being "male." Like, a lot of trans woman I know are terrified of expressing anger or doing anything that will get them labeled as "dangerous," no matter how unjust that label is. So when Claire apologizes for being "violent" here, I sort of see that anxiety mixed in. That connection might definitely not be intended, and it could be more about Claire's personal progress in controlling her temper or, more simply, for humor. It just stirs up a lot of familiarity to conversations I've heard in the past.

I desperately want Hannelore to come back for the wedding, maybe to be Dora's witness/maid of honour.
If there's a Fucking, Austria, why not a Fucksburg, Montana?
And bearing on any decision would be state and local laws bearing on Claire being trans?Claire has pulled off an apparently flawless transition - outside of her family the only people who know her status are those she has told. If anyone else has guessed, they aren't letting on. Neither she nor Clinton have been shown encountering any childhood friends suggesting they grew up elsewhere. If she turned up in the middle of Montana I don't think anyone would guess and there's not likely to be anyone to out her.
Interesting. All this time I thought Fucksburg got it's name from Chinese restauraneur Lee Ho Fuk.I thot it was "Ho Lee Fook".
Montana's a big place and there's literally lots of room for differing attitudes. As politically conservative as it may be, some areas can be surprisingly tolerant.
Perhaps Claire would like instead to take Marten to Pleasure Point (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pleasure_Point,_New_South_Wales).And then they could visit Climax.
Intercourse, Pennsylvania.Been there. Deep in Amish country. Locals not amused by the the jokes at this point.
If Claire were to move, and Marten were to move with her, what would Pintsize do? My first thought is that he would move with them, but he has a life in Northampton, too.Somehow, I think Pintsize would be just as excited as Marten to move to Fucksburg....
I figured it was probably intentional, just felt it needed to be pointed out anyway just in case it was a simple mix up.So, to recall Jeph's rant on social media around when one of the characters called a snake's bite 'poisonous', I am willing to bet that Jeph knows which Roosevelt but Faye doesn't.
That's a classic JJ troll moment. He knows, he knows a bunch of us know, he knows anyone complaining isn't worth his attention.
How about Humptulips, Washington?T'other side of the Olympic Peninsula from Dosewallips. It's not all that far from Duckabush or Brinnon. ;)
Okay, its 3 weeks until comic 4000.
We've had a lot of warm and fuzzy feelings from the comics for the last few weeks.
We haven't had a lot of "drama" lately.
Anyone else feel like we're being lined up for something absolutely horrifying?
This comic's doing me a concern. Jeph is a big Azumanga fan and this is starting to REALLY feel like it's gearing up for the same sort of "everyone drifts off to the next part of their lives" ending...

With regards to the next phase of QC, I have a feeling it won't be much longer until Hanners re-appears (permanently I mean). Plus Winslow, obviously..

If you look back at #1000, 2000, and 3000, there was nothing earth shattering in them. Maybe JJ is looking to have the characters just move to the next logical phase of their lives.
At least I hope so.

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised if Hanners bought up Coffee of Doom, should Dora ever leave.
ADJKPF? The home row on Jeph's keyboard. Obviously.
That's true, but what if they had to move to Plain, Ohio?Or Monotony, KS?
How about Humptulips, Washington?
So, Marten junks a reasonable job he completely lucked into, and follows Claire to Wtfarewe, Montana. What does he do for a job? He's not really qualified for anything, and I presume its just as impossible to feed to people on a new graduate's salary that side of the pond as it is this one.

I've wondered whether a thermoluminescent material could be inlaid into a ring so you could warm it up and say "I cannot read the fiery letters".I don't know if that would be practical due to the temperatures involved.
Get a room you two!...oops wrong thread.
