That would be a fun time machine experience.

2024-12-26 03:46:32 +0000 UTCI was sad at first but then pretty quickly glad. Their relationshit was starting to make me really dislike Dora.

2024-12-26 00:28:08 +0000 UTC15 years later, 2024 Jeph speaks foreboding at 2009 Jeph. I Wonder what 2039 Jeph Will say looking back at Directember! ”Why didn’t I do this 15 years earlier”

2024-12-25 23:13:09 +0000 UTCOh this is funny. Lately I've been rereading a lot of the older comics and had just gotten to the original of this one. I then wanted to have a look at the latest and ended up with the exact same comic. I was a bit confused at first.

SilverbackRon
2024-12-25 09:13:41 +0000 UTCMe too. Their breakup seemed so infuriating at the time. Which is exactly what Jeph was going for. I am glad we got both Tai and Claire in exchange. Totally worth it.

2024-12-25 09:11:16 +0000 UTCWeren't the Telepathic Laser Crustaceans one of the secret weapons of Doctor Laser Vengeance?

2024-12-25 05:44:58 +0000 UTCThree years, I think. No, probably more like six. I'd get up to check the card in my wallet, but I can't stand the cracking of my knees and back this late in the evening. Gave up my mouse for a trackball years ago, so I'm good, so long as my thumb and index finger keep working. Oh, and one more thing: GET OFF MY LAWN!

2024-12-25 05:24:03 +0000 UTCIt's odd. I came to QC when Jeph did a guest strip for another comic I was following. I forget which one! Similarly, I came to DoA a couple nanoseconds after Dina made an appearance in QC. Dina is my inner dinosaur! Where has all the cross-comic traffic gone? Are we (and Jeph, by association) getting old?
BobC
2024-12-25 05:14:56 +0000 UTCI lucked in at number two or three, and I still think of this as an early one.

2024-12-25 04:43:51 +0000 UTCI love how the crop of Marten's hair in panel 2 makes it look like it is moving along with his expression.

2024-12-25 04:26:24 +0000 UTC♫ Cause it's December the 24th And I'm longing to be up North ♫ Wait. Yesterday morning it was 2F. I think I'm far enough North now. Enjoy the holidays, and the archive dives Jeph is setting off.

2024-12-25 04:19:15 +0000 UTCI remember being really sad when Martin and Dora broke up, but now I'm happy with how things have turned out. ~<3

2024-12-25 04:09:17 +0000 UTCI oddly have more respect for Marten than I did before knowing he has three of these...
Brendan Luster
2024-12-25 04:04:48 +0000 UTCAt least two. Possibly three, according to the news post. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2614

2024-12-25 04:01:31 +0000 UTCFor that matter, Roko is presumably also still working there as Elliot's apprentice. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3961
BookBeard
2024-12-25 03:42:48 +0000 UTCWell, Eliot presumably still works at the Secret Bakery. And Roko, presumably, still has a thing about bread.

2024-12-25 03:30:18 +0000 UTCTwo, so far, but my problem is disability. Only another year and a half, however, before I get it for real!
Am Queue
2024-12-25 03:01:51 +0000 UTCHe had two! Pretty sure he was dressing for the party he went to with Tai? Dora was there? Nope…date with Claire? Help us, BookBeard Kenobi, you’re our only hope!
Darren Franzen
2024-12-25 02:16:22 +0000 UTCI've been on it for 18 years. Almost as long as this strip has been running. I retired 5 years before that, before this strip started.

FreeReedz
2024-12-25 01:51:23 +0000 UTCHow many of those shirts did he have? It couldn't have been just one for all those years.

2024-12-25 01:49:47 +0000 UTCI'm on my second year of Medicare, I'm fucking old. How many years have you been on it? 😜

Dean Reilly
2024-12-25 00:33:41 +0000 UTCBeen there, done that, Marten's got the t-shirt
Michael Steamweed
2024-12-25 00:21:00 +0000 UTCI miss the Secret Bakery. We need more of them in our lives.
Michael Steamweed
2024-12-25 00:20:24 +0000 UTCI would love to know what year 1 Jeph would think if he saw this months time travel through QC.

2024-12-25 00:16:18 +0000 UTC15 years is plenty distant
Brian Yaras
2024-12-25 00:16:09 +0000 UTCYes! The the good 'ol days are so very often overlooked until someone breaks through the lense of nostalgia.
Carrie
2024-12-24 23:54:57 +0000 UTCDon't worry about the sense of nostalgia, it probably just means you need to clean the espresso machine. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1941

2024-12-24 23:51:28 +0000 UTCMerry Xmas, questionable content-consumers!
William Cole
2024-12-24 23:39:11 +0000 UTCI started reading QC around #400, and I thought of this strip as "one of the early ones", only to realize it came over 1000 comics after I started reading! Time is so weird in QC Land.

2024-12-24 23:18:36 +0000 UTCIt gets me too I remember when this was new at this point. I don't think I had met my wife yet.

2024-12-24 23:06:57 +0000 UTC21 years to date, huh. What a journey. And with luck, there's more to go over the horizon ❤️

Brian Yaras
2024-12-24 22:58:48 +0000 UTCThis month has been a fun retro of the way the comic has changed over the years. It's wild how much the characters have grown 💜
