By a mildly interesting coincidence, no collector has managed to own both the Pizza Girl and Penelope action figures at the same time.
Mad Marie
2024-11-20 22:05:28 +0000 UTCThe "Smiling Penelope" action figure was a limited edition. It was only available in a set with "Erotic Poetry Wil", complete with tights and a codpiece.

2024-11-20 21:42:59 +0000 UTCI'd have expected them to join an existing union that covers the hospitality sector rather than forming a Coffee of Doom Workers union.
Diptych
2024-11-20 01:58:37 +0000 UTCI imagine you need at least 10 employees to form a union.

Melissa Wilson
2024-11-19 03:34:29 +0000 UTCOr… Dora could have been wearing a fall, just for the nuptials. She wouldn’t be the first bride to try on some special occasion hair with her special occasion clothes.
Melissa Wilson
2024-11-19 03:31:56 +0000 UTCTake credit for the pun, Jeph. We don't know if it's intentional (or even there), and it's probably more fun not to know. (It may really all be in your head, O.C. Guy, but that's just what brains do, ain't it?)

Zak Reichle
2024-11-18 21:30:59 +0000 UTCCould be intentional. I could imagine Dora saying "make it look like a black claw grabbing my skull" down at Grim Trims or wherever goths go for haircuts.

2024-11-18 13:22:35 +0000 UTCI... I don't think it's intentional?
enchantedsleeper
2024-11-18 12:48:47 +0000 UTCUnrelated to this particular strip, I was reading through the archives and realized that Roko's entire kink about purchasing baked goods launched in her face is literally just a pun about her having a fetish about "getting bre(a)d" and I'm just... extremely furious. That took over 6 years for me to get the joke. 6 YEARS JEPH 6 YEARS THAT PUN HAS BEEN SITTING IN MY BRAIN JUST WAITING FOR SOMETHING TO SET IT OFF. AND I HAVE NO IDEA IF IT WAS INTENTIONAL. Well done. Please continue.
Ohh Crap Guy
2024-11-18 10:53:26 +0000 UTCI hope she wasn't eaten by an Allosaurous.

enchantedsleeper
2024-11-18 09:57:49 +0000 UTCMelon is special and amazing but I don't think this is fair to Ayo 😅 She's perky, a tad misguided, but she's no Melon.
enchantedsleeper
2024-11-18 09:53:18 +0000 UTCNo issues here. QC opens to today's comic (iiNet - Australia).
David Paul
2024-11-18 09:53:18 +0000 UTCI think that Ayo recognises no higher authority above Hanners (other than Dora) xD
enchantedsleeper
2024-11-18 09:51:03 +0000 UTCCould be a couple days later?
enchantedsleeper
2024-11-18 09:49:57 +0000 UTCAyo, you should be in a union anyway but it's sweet that your first thought was to use it to make your boss take a holiday.
Diptych
2024-11-18 08:57:39 +0000 UTCIf the Brits call a bachelorette party a "hen party", would they call this idea a poultry co-op?

2024-11-18 08:03:20 +0000 UTCco-op like a party in a RPG? I can see it, Emmet is already working on being a warlock. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
2024-11-18 07:24:00 +0000 UTCAaah, ok. Because I always wondered how you would grow a co-op because every new member would have to sign up for a bunch of debt or pay a lot upfront to buy a debt share of someone else. Having the debt be no actual person's debt makes more sense
Veronica Jane
2024-11-18 07:03:06 +0000 UTCYes and no. Generally you would own a share of the business and then the business would hold the debt. From there it all gets nitty gritty based on how the coop is structured, but usually coops are incorporated entities like most business, so the liability is with the business and not the members.
Alex Mullenix
2024-11-18 07:00:00 +0000 UTCWow, a haircut must've been a high priority if she's already got one by Monday morning.

BookBeard
2024-11-18 02:53:56 +0000 UTCI assume she went to the same farm that Raven went to. There's lots of room for Coffee of Doom employees to run around and play there.
Veronica Jane
2024-11-18 02:53:36 +0000 UTCWould becoming a co-op not mean Ayo would have to take on a share of all of Dora's business debt or do I not understand how co-ops work?

Ed Marshall
2024-11-18 02:41:18 +0000 UTCThere was some talk about this issue in one of the QC subreddits. It sounds to my kinda-but-not-really-that-knowledgeable ear that there may have been some weird changes to the DNS record for the QC website. If you're on Windows, try opening an elevated command prompt and running "ipconfig /flushdns". This will flush your cached DNS entries and will force a new query the next time you try loading questionablecontent.net. I just tried going to the website on my phone and my phone popped up with this link: https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4720 It's a comic with Roko and Yay talking on Roko's couch. If you click current comic, it shows the comic posted here yesterday where Roko is sitting on the same couch trying to talk to Yay and now I have a sad again.
Nikki
2024-11-18 02:40:20 +0000 UTCSo the disaster teen has managed to hang onto her job for the intervening "however long it's been"? That's good! Good job Ayo! Why would Hannelore be running the shop in Dora's absence, though? What happened to Penelope?
