With comic 4000 approaching do you think anything special is planned?

[TheEvilDog]

Hmmm, Comic 4000?

My guess is...

(click to show/hide)

Sara McKinney wakes up on her floor to the sound of a shower. Rising, she realises she slipped in the shower and the entire 3999 comics have all been just a dream.

[BenRG]

Strip 4000 will be the big, unexpected twist at the end of Faye Dora and Tai's engagement party. No guesses as to what that might be though.

[Zebediah]

Faye and Tai's engagement party

Faye and Tai getting engaged would be a twist in itself.

[cybersmurf]

the 4k twist: it's all been a simulation in Hannelore's head.

[Nepiophage]

Hannelore shows up at the engagement party.  With Mr. Snuffles. They’re engaged too!

[Thrudd]

Marten: Tai put in an application for and he gets accepted to a junior teaching position in the music department

Claire: Gets only one job offer and it is from the University Centre in Svalbard

Halfway between Norway and the North Pole

[Thrillho]

I spoke to Jeph personally and I can confirm that it turns out that Bruce Willis is a ghost.

[cybersmurf]

4k plot twist: Faye knocks up bubbles.

[Is it cold in here?]

WE ARE WORKING ON THAT TECHNOLOGY

WRONG! Shame Orb knocks up Yelling Bird.

WRONG! Shame Orb knocks up Yelling Bird.

Too obvious.

Thanks for being that person.

My mind touched that thought when writing my idea. Thank you for actually going there, you made me giggle IRL

[NemesisDancer]

I like the idea of a character we haven't seen in a long time turning up (maybe Sven, Penelope, or Raven), though I feel like it's unlikely.

[jwhouk]

1000 - Naked old women.
2000 - Momo's new chassis
3000 - Emily's "character development"

4000 - Alice comes to visit?

[Scarlet Manuka]

4000 - Alice comes to visit?

And spends the strip eating cereal with Steve.

Ding, ding, ding!
Well played.

I stand corrected! Sven has returned (and also got prettier since we saw him last)

[BenRG]

My three best guesses as to the subject for strip 4000, based on the recent strips:

• Marten and Claire have a heart-to-heart ending with Marten promising to be a 'new me' and Claire responding that she's happy with the Marten she's got but she thinks that he isn't happy and needs to get a hold of his life;
• A bizarre three-way conversation between Faye, Bubbles and Sven played for laughs;
• Sven is all mopey about Hannelore going away (she's one of the few girls that he knows whom he likes but without sex getting in the way); Faye tells him to suck it up and text her; strip 4000 is him texting Hannelore and them making an arrangement to meet somewhere like Seattle. Bonus points if Hanners is on a beach in Tahiti or Hawaii at the time.

Considering this is Dora's engagement party, Sven being there should be kinda expected, no?

Honestly I also would expect at least Penelope and Cosette there. Yes, they are employees and employees are not necessarily invited to such private things, but considering Dora's general interactions with her personnel I would expect it here. Raven too maybe, although it has been so long that we have no idea whether they even keep in touch at this point.

Big twist: Sven shows up but those interactions go just fine, and then out of nowhere Angus steps into the bar....

[Is it cold in here?]

So this Angus walks into a bar ...

[cybersmurf]

Well, I'm sensing somewhat of a deja-vu ... someone being thrown out. literally.

[NemesisDancer]

Bonus points if Hanners is on a beach in Tahiti or Hawaii at the time.

I hope this happens - I've always enjoyed their interactions

Steve eating cereals. But... (wait for it) a new brand!

Steve is all out of cereal. so it's gonna be him drinking a glass of milk. over seven panels.

[OldGoat]

Steve eating cereals. But... (wait for it) a new brand!

A new oat circle cereal called "RObOs."  Melon will join him.

[BenRG]

Given today's strip, I guessing it's going to be something about Faye.

[cybersmurf]

Probably, but JJ can be quite the troll.

[Theta9]

So we have it now. And it's just another typical QC comic; no great revelation or upheaval.

[Cornelius]

Well, it's the return of the harpoon?

[OldGoat]

So we have it now. And it's just another typical QC comic; no great revelation or upheaval.

For which I am glad.  Too bad about all the malfunctioning crystal balls and ouija boards.

Are they really "malfunctioning" if they have no inherent divinatory power to start with?

They are performing exactly as they were designed to function, if not how they are marketed to function.

[OldGoat]

My sarcasm generator, however, is fully operational.

[Is it cold in here?]

Reminds me of the person I know whose office was burglarized. I don't know why he had a crystal ball, but he did, and it was among the items stolen.

The cop who took the report said something like "It didn't work too well, did it?".

Actual headline, written by a colleague, on a story about police raiding a "psychic" on fraud charges:
"She never saw it coming."
