Directember: Emergency Summons
Added 2024-12-12 02:11:54 +0000 UTCClinton's enthusiasm for AI nonsense has led to some fun moments so far, like this one. With Claire moving to Cubetown I suspect there will be a lot more in the future.
Break has been nice so far! I've been doing a little doodling here and there, playing lots of guitar and video games, walking the dog...pretty much exactly what I normally do but without the constant pressure of having comics to draw. It's nice! But I'm also starting to look forward more and more to getting back to work. Still toying with the idea of doing another time skip, but also have a whole bunch of ideas for where the comic could go if I pick up immediately where I left off. Options and choices!

You could always use those 'immediate' idea's for later flashbacks if you went with a time skip

2024-12-16 07:39:42 +0000 UTCSomething is definitely wrong with the website. I was in the middle of a reread, and can't consistently load comics anymore. Pages loads, but not the comic image. Much harder to reread from within Patreon. I'd love to just reread in print, but seems there are some later gaps.... πππ

2024-12-15 00:15:01 +0000 UTCI suppose itβs possible to do both a time skip and not a time skip with a series of split-page now-and-then panels. It might be fun to blend storylines with parallel action in different timeframes or character perspectives that culminate in a common revelation. Could be tricky!

2024-12-14 17:19:28 +0000 UTCI'd love to see Clinton do a gradual heel turn and become the robot-handed supervillain I think he has lurking deep within.

2024-12-14 10:59:25 +0000 UTCI love that little mini-arc and Clinton and Yay snarking at each other :D

2024-12-13 19:42:39 +0000 UTCThese retrospectives make me want to start over but it would take so much time and I would need to use your website. :(
Be well, do good work, have fun, and keep in touch
2024-12-13 17:23:42 +0000 UTCI'm glad you're having a good time, and really liking the flashbacks.

2024-12-13 09:30:30 +0000 UTCAfter Emily, Clinton was interested in Brun (speaking of someone I'd want to see on-panel again.)
ValdVin
2024-12-13 01:39:20 +0000 UTCI think you're confusing two different characters. Emily (tall Asian chick) was the girl Clinton had a crush on, who said she didn't want to date him. She's still working at Coffee of Doom and AFAIK a current member of the cast, even though it's been a little while since we've seen her. RAVEN (emo chick) was the girl who broke up with the homeless busker. Raven was the OG bimbo-savant (much more on the bimbo side of things than Emily), but she hasn't been in the strip for like...ten years now. Jeph essentially wrote her out by having her go back to school to get her PhD. Honestly, it would be HILARIOUS if Raven of all people showed up in Cubetown, but I kind of got the impression that Jeph had gotten tired of writing her.

2024-12-13 00:43:51 +0000 UTCI can see it, but the cartoons take much longer than usual to show up. The ads appear more quickly.
jonesnori
2024-12-13 00:37:50 +0000 UTCWild how Clinton went from the worst charecter in the world to a cool dude after getting his hopes crushed by the girl who's name I can't remember. The one with the sundress, think she's prolly gonna show up at Cubetown because she was a bimbo-savant for lack of a better term. The airhead who broke up with that homeless guitar player over ideological reasons, and because he was "really into anal".

2024-12-12 22:56:31 +0000 UTCI had a great theory for why this strip wasn't in our Patreon alerts but it turned out I had forgotten what day it is :)
Stephen Wells
2024-12-12 21:36:36 +0000 UTCThat stuck in my mind because after the "a transformer exploded" line, Jeph's under-comic line was "Oh no Bumblebee" :)

2024-12-12 14:35:44 +0000 UTCFirst we'll jump to who's left! Then we'll note that Claire's ri-i-i-i-ight! We'll all vote for our ships! And watch relations ti-i-i-i-ight (en) But it's the Cubetown ar-ar-ar-arc That really made Yay insa-a-a-a-ane! Let's do a Time Warp again!
Amelia Lewis
2024-12-12 14:35:02 +0000 UTCDo a timeskip that starts with multiple months of flashbacks.

2024-12-12 13:43:03 +0000 UTCSame here. I assume that's why there are relatively few comments at the time I'm eating breakfast
MayLaBelle
2024-12-12 13:34:01 +0000 UTC(a) Station would still remember the conversation, (b) he may think that Clinton shouldnβt be encouraged, and (c) maintaining multiple points of attention seems to be beyond most QC AIs apart from Yay.
Philip Masters
2024-12-12 13:16:13 +0000 UTCFor me, probably the most fun "Clinton dorking out about AIs" moment was when a transformer blew at the other apartment complex and all the AIs were outside hanging out and sharing batteries.
Daryl Sawyer
2024-12-12 12:57:44 +0000 UTCWhy not both, pick up where you were, but a bit after that do a time jump. Or Time Warp if you prefer.
Jeffrey Anderson

Lyman Green
2024-12-12 10:43:38 +0000 UTCAfter the time skip to Dora and Tai's wedding, I'm hoping we get to see the lead up and leaving of Marten and Claire to Cubetown. For me, it feels like too significant a moment to skip past, but whatever you do I'll be there for it! QC has been a part of my life for over 20 years and I'm grateful for it still going and being part of my day. Keeping enjoying your well earned break, Jeph!
Matthew Rose
2024-12-12 09:39:38 +0000 UTCI'm really enjoying this walk down memory lane. I'm this close to start a full reread!
Kaarchin
2024-12-12 07:57:35 +0000 UTCIf, Bookbeard, there is another time warp, let it be done with Tim Curry as a guest host.

2024-12-12 06:50:29 +0000 UTCPatreon related. I haven't gotten the notification email for this strip, nor is it showing up in the "notifications" list on Patreon itself. PC, Win 10, Firefox.

William Cole
2024-12-12 05:19:02 +0000 UTCNo wonder it is leaking!
SilverbackRon
2024-12-12 04:48:33 +0000 UTCI haven't seen anything wrong on Patreon, but I am using Firefox on Win10. But on the main QC site, his comments on the old strips has all the single apostrophes replaced with question marks in little black diamonds. So it might be some confusion about the character set he is using versus what Firefox thinks it is.
Captain Button
2024-12-12 04:42:25 +0000 UTCIf you decide to do another time skip, I'm personally a fan of the montage-style (#3136 for example). Feels less like we're missing stuff that way. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3136
BookBeard
2024-12-12 04:33:45 +0000 UTCIs anyone else having trouble with Jeph's commentary acting like a neon sign and blinking? It seems to be multiple fonts while it's blinking, too. I have had to reload the page multiple times to get it to settle down, for several days now. (I'm on an Android tablet, looking at Patreon in Chrome.)
jonesnori
2024-12-12 04:31:15 +0000 UTCNor did I. I happened to be refreshing yesterday's post and saw that there was a new one.
Sean Kinlin
2024-12-12 04:25:15 +0000 UTCI didn't either.
Captain Button
2024-12-12 04:06:57 +0000 UTCYou could do a time skip to the year 4285, right in the middle of the Fungus Wars! You could even cover the Battle of the Mycelial Bulge!

Sammitch
2024-12-12 03:08:34 +0000 UTCKinda surprised that Station doesn't have some low-level subroutines (roughly equivalent to today's best chatbots) that could take over for him in talking with Clinton.
Michael Steamweed
2024-12-12 03:00:08 +0000 UTCI like that Claire is protective of her brother. And that she teases him sometimes.
SilverbackRon
2024-12-12 02:53:35 +0000 UTCI mean, he didn't get tied to a chair, threatened with a sword or slapped across the face with his own hand, so as first impressions go I'd say this ranks among his best.
