Deleted scene from: "Questionable Content: The Motion Picture"

Exterior station. The Station has been brought alongside the core of Bu'ket. The crew follow the HANNERS PROBE along a pathway. In the center of a depression sits the core of Bu-ket, surrounded by a nimbus of light. The crew approach and note the faded lettering along the machine's sides.

Hannelore PROBE: Bu'ket!
MARTEN: B-U-K-E-T ...B-U-T-T-R-O-C-K-E-T ...Buttrocket! ...Buttrocket VI?
CLAIRE: PAPA. Pintsize Aeronautics and Porn Administration. Marten, this was launched more than three hundred years ago!
MARTEN: Buttrocket series, designed to carry porn to the farthest reaches of the universe!
CLAIRE: Buttrocket VI ...disappeared into what they used to call a black hole.
MARTEN: It must have emerged sometime on the far side of the Galaxy and fell into the machine's planet's gravitational field.
FAYE: The machine inhabitants found it to be one of their own kind, primitive yet kindred. They discovered its simple twentieth-century programming. Collect all porn possible.
CLAIRE: Learn every position that is learnable. Return that information to its Creator.
FAYE: Precisely, Ms. Augustus, the machines interpreted it literally.
FAYE: They built this entire vessel so that Buttrocket could fulfill it's programming.
MARTEN: And on its journey back it amassed so much porn, it achieved consciousness itself. It became a living thing.
ALIEN MACHINE VOICE: (unintelligible)
HANNERS PROBE: Marten unit, Bu'ket awaits the information.
MARTEN: Station, order up the computer library of records, on the late twentieth-century PAPA probe, Buttrocket VI...

I was feeling unbelievably shitty today; depression in overdrive and all that. I looked today's comic and it made me smile for the first time today.

Excelsior to you, glorious Buttrocket. o7

I love how Marten immediately realizes that Pintsize is to blame for the buttrocket.

He knows Pintsize so well.

Who else would design a Buttrocket in the area?

And the ButtRocket has now met May.

WHAM!

Neko_Ali · « **Reply #56 on:** 17 Jun 2015, 15:31 »

I dunno. I kinda would have expected to Willis to get the ending joke of this line, not being wedged right in the middle....

Wait, why isn't May blue?

pwhodges · « **Reply #58 on:** 17 Jun 2015, 15:37 »

Evangelion and Azumanga Daioh references in one strip!

And to my eyes May has a slight blue tint still.

She's kind of a very pale cyan in this strip. Jeph colors her skin a somewhat darker shade of cyan.

My first car was about the same color as May in this strip, actually.

Welu · « **Reply #60 on:** 17 Jun 2015, 15:53 »

I always interpreted May as white with a blue tinge. Jeph did change her colour immediately after the first strip with her chassis. Although Willis seems to have made it a bit more grey.

I want Marigold's hoodie.

Yup, I'm seeing pale blue too. It's very washed out, but yeah.

Just to get the obvious quote out there: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die."

I am pretty sure I've never enjoyed guest steps as much as I have this week.

Oh, and May is so right about gags that have been run into the ground. Don't get me started.

I don't mind it so much when a series/show has a few running gags as long as they also have
new jokes to go along with them. Also when an old running gag suddenly get's an unexpected
twist or something I usually find it hillarious.

pwhodges · « **Reply #73 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 03:28 »

Certainly the specific quoted gag about Miss Sakaki and the cat is not overplayed in the full context of Azumanga Daioh (whether manga or anime).

Oh, I don't know; I think that Dave Willis is showing a keen understanding of what makes slapstick work here.

A foreshadowed catastrophe of this kind where the person said such a misfortune is funny when it happens to someone else is the sort of thing that The Three Stooges or even great clowns like Chaplain or Keeton would have used.

I was wondering who is piloting Buttrocket when the obvious answer hit me.

An asstronaut.

I like you, also.

If it positioned itself on an orbiting telecommunications array, would it be a Sit-tellite?

chaospersonified · « **Reply #79 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 09:36 »

It might have to do that, I mean, what's the plan for when the propulsion system craps out? Would it qualify as an Ass-teroid? It's full of porn, sobmaybe a cumet? There's other possibilities, butt that seems most likely.

chaospersonified · « **Reply #80 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 10:38 »

There are so many possibilities here. It's booty-ful. Hopefully my string of wordplay didn't rump-le any tailfeathers.

...

Okay, I'm done. I think.

I hope.

I want to be done. I wanted to be done after the first one. The devious pun-elves keep whispering in my ear.

The Buttrocket Chronicles come down to a halt as we check on other important members of our cast.

So Willis got the last rocketbutt after all...maybe...perhaps.

pwhodges · « **Reply #85 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 15:48 »

May was not destroyed by the Buttrocket; in spite of the damage she took, she held on, and is either piloting it to somewhere she can have fun with it or destroying it with her teeth for revenge.

osaka · « **Reply #86 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 16:35 »

Does that mean that May eats the booty like groceries?

Zebediah · « **Reply #87 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 17:25 »

May downloaded her mind into the ButtRocket's computer upon impact. So now she's got what she always wanted: she is going to fly. Also she is going to be a big butt about it.

QC Guest Week Sonnet #1

When Hannelore said unto Pintsize,"Oh!
My little friend, you seem stuck in a rut.
How can I help to lift you from your woe?"
Replied he: "I have built a rocket-butt,
With which I may communicate my love
Of horny mankind's pornographic might
To any mind which may exist above
This earth: an off'ring fit and right
For first contact with some new alien friend!
(And fair warning to far more prudish foes
To keep away)--With your help I can send
It!" She agreed; and so they launched--but, oh!
This callipygian gift to outer space
Returned, and fuckin' smacked May in the face.

improvnerd · « **Reply #89 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 21:28 »

So disappointed that there was no buttrocket in Friday's strip. Hopefully it's just setting us up Monday's buttrocket-intensive strip.

Timemaster · « **Reply #90 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 22:51 »

Mays chassis is destroyed by the buttrocket and Marigold has to react fast to save the AI from the severed CPU. So she uploads May to Momos old chibi-chassis, which is still laying in her closet.

So Pintsize finally meets a dream come true: a female AI his size and as sordid and rotten as himself.
Together they will bring doom upon this trivial western civilisation...

BenRG · « **Reply #91 on:** 18 Jun 2015, 23:07 »

Jeph basically hits the nail on the head in today's news post: There are a lot of things the thought of which Hannelore likes but, when the time comes to put it into practice, she wigs out. The problem? Her imagination is just too good and she self-triggers based on her own hypothetical imaginings!

*Sigh* I hope that Jeph changes his mind about next week being more guest strips. They're tolerable and there is the occasional gem (like the 'Disney Princess' strip, parts of which are canon in my head). The thing is that I read QC for Jeph's ongoing story, not random funnies. It's his story-telling that sells the comic to me! Filler strips and guest strips just don't do it for me as a general rule.

Yeah, I get that Jeph wants a vacation but, over on Alice Grove, he said just a week before we get back to the story! If the guest strips are so good, hold them in reserve for the next time he's unwell or stuck at an airport or something!

Like being kicked in the balls immediately before orgasm so it shoots back inside you, today's comic required a long buildup for a painfully disappointing anti-climax.

So after this small break The Buttrocket Chronicles continue. Hanners kinda looks like "Absolutely nothing to do with me Ms. Whitaker. Nothing at all"
