I wonder... who IS pointing at the screen when saying "that's Melon"? And are they pointing at the right one this time?

2025-02-06 05:39:13 +0000 UTCI mean, I bet they're wonderful walks in memory lane for those you can do them. And fully admit to shaking my fist at clouds. I think the main reason it annoyed me was that people were harping about exactly how many bodies yay has been confirmed to have, when we know that they will probably only have the one next we see them, if we see them
Rhyon Ingalls
2025-02-05 03:09:19 +0000 UTCWe are, but I'm betting there will only be the one next time we see them
Rhyon Ingalls
2025-02-05 03:05:41 +0000 UTCI was pretty delighted to be reminded of the Hercules meeting AND the glimpse into Yay’s apartment!

2025-02-04 16:34:42 +0000 UTCDon’t take this away from me…! I am not demented, yet, that I know. But if I was, would I know? What were we talking about again? Who are you? Where am I?

2025-02-04 15:59:58 +0000 UTCAre we talking about Yay's bodies?

2025-02-03 04:07:07 +0000 UTCBut Melon says, "Bubbles! Hi!" She clearly knows that they know each other.

2025-02-03 03:07:32 +0000 UTCYep, Melon had all her seams back and smooth ears by the time Yay disappeared https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5380
Not that Patrick Foltz
2025-02-03 02:32:21 +0000 UTCAlso lost the definition in her ears. Pretty much reset back to pre fire. Didn't we also see her at the club when Yay disappeared?

2025-02-03 02:26:11 +0000 UTCThey definitely could but they've said many times that sanctity of personal integrity is one of their very few hard moral boundaries.

2025-02-02 23:55:21 +0000 UTCAaaaand I read that thread/link to the end and kind of cried. Thanks, BB, I think…
Claudia D.
2025-02-02 21:59:24 +0000 UTCYou can't do the copy and paste thing? That's too bad! I usually enjoy seeing various old stripes that connect in some way, and I don't find the copy/paste to be difficult.

2025-02-02 21:14:28 +0000 UTC@Captain Button this was the first time we saw Yay topless.
Opus the Poet
2025-02-02 21:11:14 +0000 UTCWell other people enjoy it and Jeph thinks it's fine, and honestly book beard never bothered me. Sorry to distress. Most of my ire was directed at the incorrect "um actually" fellow who is either dirty deleted or blocked me, so trash took itself out, but now it looks like I'm just mad at bookbeard. And I'm sorry I brought it up. I still think I will stick to comment sections that don't have self-appointed glossary posters, as apparently it activates my fomo since I can't see them. Luckily this is literally the only place I've seen this behavior so it'll be easy for me. Sorry to bother anybody.

2025-02-02 16:52:48 +0000 UTCPlease, Melon. Don't sing.
ValdVin
2025-02-02 16:38:45 +0000 UTCRight, but the point is that it really doesn't look like that. The straps are drawn exactly like the neck seam and don't look like they either hang off the shoulders or bunch up from being pushed up from below (due to Roko leaning forward). It's especially noticeable with the bottom visible portion of the right strap (our left) curving like it was stretched by the upper curve of the breast. The second panel of the previous strip was similar, except that the difference in distance between the neck seam and the left and right straps broke the effect.

2025-02-02 15:57:10 +0000 UTCI never expected to feel such kinship to Melon as that very first phrase. That is so me. “Hi, my name is *introduces oneself*!” “Yes, I know! We met *names place and/or occasion where I most likely did meet that person* before!”
legobil
2025-02-02 15:22:04 +0000 UTCEvery time I see her I think of that.

2025-02-02 14:47:34 +0000 UTCI, personally, love the links and appreciate those who go through the effort of pointing them out and posting them. It’s a helpful thing that builds community. Enjoy or not, it’s a kindness.
Claudia D.
2025-02-02 14:37:58 +0000 UTCDitto what Alcaria said. I tried on a pink wig last summer. Loved it. Go for THE GREEN! Amazon can bring it to you this very week.
Claudia D.
2025-02-02 14:31:46 +0000 UTCClearly, there was a flaw in that seamless plan to prevent further infestations. When nothing could replace the feeling of gestating insects, she hatched a plan to revert to old ways. (Puns intended, not sorry) 🙂

Claudia D.
2025-02-02 13:45:58 +0000 UTCI wonder if Yay could piggy-back on another AIs body... Peeking out through Melon's eyes...

legobil
2025-02-02 07:45:01 +0000 UTCI certainly appreciate the links, and at least in chrome, it's triple-click to select and then the right-click menu has a "Goto ..." entry. Unfortunately this isn't *quite* enough friction to keep me from then rereading a couple of months forward every time I see an interesting link :-)

2025-02-02 07:38:53 +0000 UTCIt's comforting to have a robot doing monkey grooming on you, I imagine.

2025-02-02 06:29:49 +0000 UTCI wish I lived in the QC universe, people (and AIs) seem much nicer there. plus I would like an AI GF. Not Melon though, I feel like I would be taking advantage. But there are a number of Female chassis AIs that I would like to spend some time with.

2025-02-02 06:03:20 +0000 UTCAww, Melon's back. Ya know, if she had a puppy would it be a Melon Collie Baby, Jeph?
Joseph Bonnar
2025-02-02 05:28:11 +0000 UTC"Of course Melon, it's a beautiful farm and they're very happy there. Plenty of wide open space for them to run and play and chase rabbits and eavesdrop on encrypted comms traffic forever and ever."
BookBeard
2025-02-02 05:19:26 +0000 UTCI absolutely appreciate people posting links to relevant comics from years past. I certainly don't remember every single comic or detail from the 15+ years I've been reading the strip, so I appreciate being reminded of connections, callbacks, or characters I've forgotten or missed. I can't click the links, but it's hardly a trial for me to copy/paste it.
Rob Vary
2025-02-02 05:12:19 +0000 UTCMuch Later... Roko, when is Yay coming back from that farm they went to? Bubbles: ...
Mad Marie
2025-02-02 05:02:14 +0000 UTCI get that it's your thing, and it's great that people enjoy it, I personally can't read them, and have no intention of doing extra work just to verify what I already knew, which is that my comment pertains to the comic. Don't want to ruffle any feathers, don't want to yuck your yum, just letting you know.
Rhyon Ingalls
2025-02-02 04:57:57 +0000 UTCI miss long haired Melon.
Miyaa
2025-02-02 04:49:06 +0000 UTCIt can be difficult to keep track of relevant details and events over the course of, as you rightly say, a more than two-decade-long story, and I personally enjoy the exercise of finding and sharing those connections. Other people seem to enjoy it too, otherwise I would have long since stopped doing so. I apologize if you feel it is condescending, but I assure you that is not the intent.
BookBeard
2025-02-02 04:45:57 +0000 UTCNeither do I! But then, I do avoid mirrors.
BobC
2025-02-02 04:31:53 +0000 UTCI just noticed that somewhere along the way Melon seems to have regained the joint seams on her arms and hands since getting her new dermal covering. My headcanon is that she set herself on fire again and had to replace her arms with an older pair she had lying around. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4806 (She had the seams when we saw her in the nightclub too, it just didn't occur to me then)
BookBeard
2025-02-02 04:30:30 +0000 UTCI love the links. Thank you to those who post them. Sometimes I remember part of a story but for the life of me I cannot find that particular page. But since we are all talking about it, at least one or two others also are thinking it and post the link. I love it!
SilverbackRon
2025-02-02 04:30:05 +0000 UTCBubbles I love you so much
Pejo
2025-02-02 04:29:26 +0000 UTCI mean, the other alternative is not doing it all. We all read the same comic and at best it comes across as showing off that you can leaf through an archive quickly, at worst it comes off as condescension in that your indicating that someone else has been reading the same comic you have for two decades and yet hasn't been comprehending it as well as you. Especially since the comment immediately underneath proves that one incorrect, so we're citing sources on estimates at best, and making people do extra work to watch us be wrong? Feels rude.
Rhyon Ingalls
2025-02-02 04:24:36 +0000 UTCThe mobile app makes the links clickable. Also there are various browser plugins (for Firefox at least) that will do the same.
BookBeard
2025-02-02 04:22:03 +0000 UTCActually, May was still in prison when we first met her. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2501
BookBeard
2025-02-02 04:19:58 +0000 UTC(that or it's a Firefox thing, dunno how other browsers handle it)
Minzoku Bokumetsu
2025-02-02 04:16:54 +0000 UTCthe alternative is Patreon doesn't allow hotlinking like that and we will otherwise not have direct access to whatever reference because "it's QC comic number 4235" is even less accessible than the link we have to copy/paste
Minzoku Bokumetsu
2025-02-02 04:16:07 +0000 UTCI don't see an issue
James Anthony
2025-02-02 04:15:34 +0000 UTCAre we SURE that's Melon? Arthur may have just been decorating fruit again.
William Cole
2025-02-02 04:12:17 +0000 UTCWhat is the alternative? I just posted a proper HTML link (Yay * 5) and it isn't clickable either. I generally just select the whole link and right click and "Open link in new tab" or whatever.

John
2025-02-02 03:53:44 +0000 UTCCan I ask why we're sharing links that can't be accessed without copy pasting to a new window in the comments? Especially when they're just links to the archives? It feels a touch condescending, since we all read the same comic and it has never been officially stated how many Yays there are. We all know there's a lot
