Dora's got her next career planned out.

Jim and Dora - I'll be scared when their plan comes together.

Jim the Hipster Baker.

"Totally have time to clean this up."

Dora the baby breeder, nice ring to it.

Check Please!

Marigold starting to dance.

Marigold stopping when she got an audience...Creepy Hanners.

Babies - Awful, little mewling poo-larvae.

Technically Jim's divorced next Tuesday.

:I Dora, finally gets the hang of Jim's humour...hopefully.

[Delator]

Jim's got a kid?

http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1672

She doesn't want kids anytime soon, and he already has one.

You're in Jim...now don't screw it up!  

[hannahsaurusrex]

Dear Stephen from way back:

I used the term "flames of their love" to make a really bad pun. "Flames of first date intrigue" doesn't sound as good.

You are right that it probably will end with her being selfish and Jim not following her, but I like to hope otherwise.
I loved Marten and Dora together, but I can also see them with other people.

I hope you forgive me for my terrible sense o' humor,
Hannah

EDIT: Addressed the wrong person.

[Tova]

Jeph is an awesome guy, but I feel like I should respectfully state my opinion as a fan. If he told me that he had a problem, I would immediately stop, since these are his forums after all.

Um... I wasn't taking issue with you stating your opinion. I was just disagreeing with it.

[pwhodges]

I hate to say it, but it is a sad day when QC goes for domestic humor. This strip hits a little too close to newspaper comic territory.

Well, it's only one strip in 2000-odd so far; and I'm not sure I agree with your assessment anyway.  We can't really judge the single panel until we see what he does with it - maybe it's somewhat of a call-back to why Faye moved in with Marten, for instance.

[Carl-E]

Let's see - we've seen people moving, figuring out how to share an apartment, cleaning...

I don't think the domestic humor's new, and there's a great deal of material that can be mineed in Jeph's unique style.  Just 'cause it involves a kid doesn't keep it from being QC!

[nonethousand]

aaaaand the creep is back!

come on Jim... is it seriously a first date joke?

[steveh11]

That had been going so well...

[Arancaytar]

Did we already know Dora's age, or is this new?

[Tuitsuro]

Jim, now is a wrong time to be channeling tapirs.  

[akronnick]

Jim, Jim, Jim...

To be honest, that's something I would do. I have no filter when I get nervous.



Wait..

I'm 36, Jim's 39. my son's 10, Samantha is 13.



I HAVE TO START A BAKERY!!!!!

[michael28]

/spit take

Very interesting life plan. When your kid is in his/her/its teenage years, divorce and find some new woman for the next gen. Maintaining your own genes for a longer time in the grand play.

btw. Jims 40, and gets 41 one in July

[TinPenguin]

The girl's name starts with an M, callin' it.

Well, perhaps she is 'Mantha to her friends...

[BluishJeans]

Oh God, really smooth Jim, really smooth.

Seriously, is anyone still thinking he is an older version of Marten? Because he sure can be as awkward as him, if I must say.

[michael28]

Marten + some ego + divorce + carrer me thinks

Well, they're somewhat similar anyway. Jim has a more mature 'feel' to him while Marten is still kind of 'childish', but what do you want with about 15 years more of life experience.

The Marten/Jim comparison aside, I really like Jim so far, and I like how the date is going, especially how happy Dora looks, she looks like she's having fun.
...Well, up to that last joke anyway ^^'

[Dr. ROFLPWN]

Daaaaaaang Jim you are going to take the awards for "terrible statements in intimate settings" away from both Sven and Angus at the same time

(and I love you for it and am totally rooting for you to get with dat Dora)

[pwhodges]

Some things are a deal breaker, of course.  But my daughter (over ten years older than Dora) has never wanted to have children herself, but none-the-less has just got engaged to a divorced man with a ten-year-old-son - I presume he did not  make a similar joke (certainly he didn't when he came round to dinner last night).

[Delator]

...I'd like to say I jinxed him, but lets be honest, Jim was gonna screw that up anyways. 

[michael28]

Marten would be 23, I think, meaning Jim war an adult when Marten was born, thats a heck more life experience

The Marten/Jim comparison aside, I really like Jim so far, and I like how the date is going, especially how happy Dora looks, she looks like she's having fun.

Which is more funny, if you're thinking about who does normally do most of the relationshop jokes in her circle   . The right answer would have been: "Huh, ah, huh, bub......"

"Could he be... bizarro Marten?????"


Ho ho ho.

well the qc universe has a robotic overlord, anthro pc like pintsize, a mad scienticst (probably not German, ) in a space station developing cross breeds between lions and bunnys, dimensional hopping espressosaurus, so maybe a dimensional portal into a many worlds like bizarro universe would be a nice change.
 + a bit of time travel.

[akronnick]

"Check please" seems a bit extreme, when she's gone along with the "bank robbery" jokes - I'd have thought a glare/Faye-style punch was all it deserved.

Maybe she called for the check because she likes the idea and wants to get started right away!!!!



What?

[Blackjoker]

Jim seems to alternate between saying the perfect thing and then a moment later chewing on the sole of his shoe. I have to say I am amused.

[laizeohbeets]

BREEDING. REALLY, JIM.

[cesariojpn]

new character!!!

Will Jim's wife be a new character too or is she someone we already know?

Veronica Vance.

*ducks thrown items*

THWAPTHWAPTHWAP THWAPTHWAPTHWAP SPLAT!

OOOOOOWWWWWWWWW!! Those damn Jelly Dongs hurt!!

[themacnut]

Yep, Jim blew it. This is where Dora cuts and runs.

Maybe.

[cyro]

I am unnerved by the glaring similarities between me and every male character in this comic (bar Marten).

 

[iduguphergrave]

Jim seems to alternate between saying the perfect thing and then a moment later chewing on the sole of his shoe.

So, in other words, he'll fit right in with the rest of the cast?

*badum-tsh*

[TinPenguin]

Is Dora using a piece of paper to subtract 13 from 40?!

It's a photograph of his daughter he handed to her between frames.

[Tanksenior]

Hah! Called it!

Mmmm it feels good to be right

Well, seems like they've got a pretty good date going on right there.
.....
I somehow still feel like at anytime something could happen that ruins it though, it's a fragile balance.

[Tova]

I don't think the date is ruined, but boy that was funny.

[Dust]

Damnit it Jim, I'm a barista, not a baby-cannon

[Stephen]

I'm not gonna claim I told you so in any way at this breeding comment. Just a really bad joke in my opinion. My prediction was that the night would go off without serious incident. I know what it is like to be a bit creepy.

BUT! This is Dora and ALL of her insecurities.....

It ain't gonna end well.

[ProfSciencePHD]

JIM

SERIOUSLY

Made the comic.

[jwhouk]

Damnit it Jim, I'm a barista, not a baby-cannon

This is SO full of Win.

[stoutfiles]

Pretty obvious by now Jim is in this for the sex.  Too many roadblocks for this to work, but since Jeph just introduced another character in Samantha it looks like were going to be treated to another "bad relationship" plotline.  Sigh...

[LordVaughn]

I felt my own foot going into my mouth when I read Jim's joke.

[snubnose]

Anyone actually wanted this date to go well ?

[Tiogyr]

Anyone actually wanted this date to go well ?

My only reasoning for why it would go well is that having Dora go on a good date would troll the forums far harder than any dramatic plot line Jeph is going to come up with that isn't the date going well.

So....you wanted the date to troll you....

[lepetitfromage]

I don't think it went terribly, Dora is used to people making dumb jokes and I don't see her getting her panties in a twist over something like that. (Plus, I am totally rooting for Jim) Personally, I thought is was pretty funny. I was expecting her to come back with a witty retort- I was actually a little surprised at her response.

[NotAwesomeAnymore]

I figured calling for the check WAS the witty retort. We'll see how she really feels tomorrow I guess.

I also love how Jim describes his daughter as creative. It's so parenty

Jeph's made it pretty clear that he hates these forums and that he thinks the current storyline will stir up lots of arguing on here, I am not these forums, etc.

She probably does have a strong creative streak if she's attempting to cook something that results in the need for a fire extinguisher.

Technically you're a part of these forums, therefore you said you wanted the date to troll you.

Because the other forum I post on that discusses webcomics has made discussion of QC a bannable offense because of how much it is looked down on over there and how much that particular discussion has been beaten into the ground and how tired the moderators there are of it (one of them said QC is only slightly less offensive than CAD, which they still discuss because it's creator provides a steady stream of stuff to mock).

The creators of Dr. McNinja, Axe Cop and a few others are regular posters there as well, so I'm not too sure what metric they're using as the judge of "good webcomic".

Here's part of the OP from their rules thread:

I want to talk about [Blah blah!]

Perfect! Just be aware that some webcomics already have their own threads. They are as follows:

Gunnerkrigg Court
MS Paint Adventures
Achewood
Order of the Stick
Ctrl Alt Delete Hate Thread
Dominic Deegan Hate Thread

If your post is specific to one of these webcomics, please post in that thread, not this one. If there is some crossover and you are, for example, comparing a comic on this list to a newly-discovered one, then feel free to include that here.

"Oh great, Questionable Content doesn't have a thread yet! I want to rant about how much it sucks big fat donkey dong! XKCD, too!"

Wait up there, pal. These are roads oft traveled, and indeed traveled to the point of being oppressively dull. Are you really able to say something insightful and new? Really?

If the answer is "YES I CAN!" then roll the bones, buckaroo. However, be aware that there is a good chance you will be mocked (if not outright banned) if you are not as clever as you initially believed.

NOTE: I really fuckin' hate LICD, so feel free to trash that endlessly.

[pwhodges]

The only definition of being part of this community is that you are joining in; denying it doesn't change that.

And what relevance do the rules of another forum have to anything here?

I was asked why I post on these forums to discuss the comic (because the other webcomic forum I post on has banned discussion of this comic)? I quoted the rules post just to illustrate the point, is all.

[NotAwesomeAnymore]

My goodness. What a silly argument  

Not sure what Tiogyr was saying toward the end there, but the forum is a separate entity from you. If your country goes to war with France, are you personally at war with France? As a citizen you may take part, support it, or oppose it, or do something else, but it's not like your country was divided into millions of identical pieces. If the forum as a whole is trolled, that means the forum is in a frenzy because either a lot of people are going a little crazy, or one person is going a lot crazy, or a few people are going a little crazy while some are going a lot crazy, etc. But the state of the forum is not a fact about every individual inside.
