Lost And Found

A noble death

Lost And Found

Comments

I'm sure someone else spotted it first, but props for the reading material and having Adams & Pratchett front & center. <3

Melissa

thank you for the warning!

Colleen Dewis

Ah, I figured it out - it's 'The Hydrogen Sonata', rendered as 'The H₂ Sonata'. (Please admire my Unicode Subscript Two!)

Clifton Royston

Googling priapic echidnea lead me down a strange rabbit hole filled with strange four headed penises. Oh Beeps. Why you do this to me. 🍆💦

legobil

I can see we're all the same type of party people - zoom straight to the bookshelves and start scanning them.

Clifton Royston

Can anyone make out the book title between 'The Wasp Factory' and 'Player of Games'? At first I thought that was 'The 5th Elephant' but that's on the shelf below, and didn't belong with the Banks anyway.

Clifton Royston

I had forgotten that Jeph is a big Iain Banks fan (and Iain M. Banks fan)! All indicative of good taste.

Clifton Royston

Oyyyy.

Ursus Ridens

Thank goodness I'm not the only one who sings that in their head every time they hear the word "crossfire"

Mikey Bear

You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company.

Captain Button

AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH the picture of Baby Goth Dora in panel 4! 😍

Mikey Bear

por que no los dos? ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

Oh you are in for a TREAT. I basically had to read the second two of the trilogy over a weekend after finishing the first

Michael Westbom

Cleo enjoying that afterglow

George Bias

Nice selection of Iain M Banks on the bookshelf :)

Stu Reeh

With Beeps you honestly can't tell whether she's making a pass or just idly discussing weird sex ideas at random :) I do very much like that she's the officiant, it adds an extra touch of chaos energy to the whole proceeding.

Stephen Wells

Viking. Fire and water shall cleanse.

Stephen Wells

This calls for the guillbrotine!

Nicolas Demers

They.

Carl G Knoblock

Aber bekleckert nicht die Jacke Jacke.

Fred Baker

The Fifth Elephant. It’s in the last panel, next to H2G2, which is fan shorthand for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s on the shelf next to the DSLR Bible.

Sean Foley

I'm having trouble reading when I zoom in. Which Pratchett's are on there?

Sean Morgan

Enjoy!

Shawn K. Younkin

Thank you. Never heard of it. First volume now on hold for me at local library.

Ursus Ridens

Yes, but I just hate going into those bat caves to get the...uh, never mind

Ursus Ridens

...the bewildered but curious, too, look on Emmett... (He be wildered.)

Ursus Ridens

Thank you, Jeph, for not drawing in the details on Sven's jacket. But, um, what kind of funeral is to be held?

Ursus Ridens

not a blush. a glow.

Joe

Jono Hayward

I thought of that but the jacket seems to be the same colour as in previous strips 😆

Jono Hayward

Or possibly it is visible...and is the entire jacket. In which case, ewwww

Tim Starliper

this is one of the few fantasy ships i'd like to see set sail (for some reason). Sven is trying to reset his life and I think Beeps might be a good one to fill that need.

Jim Feldman

My opine is this is felonious (old straight guy). He should have just burned it and said it was spontaneous combustion. Red wine or Alfredo is a Brosdemeanor.

Jim Feldman

It's a stain. What's to see? And no depicted stain can match the images that are evoked by Sven's expression.

Philip Masters

I'm trying to make out the other titles there. There's a few Ian M Banks and Ian Banks (Consider Phlebas, The Wasp Factory), two volumes of "The Photographers" which I assume is just photo albums (or maybe photo art books), "The DSLR Bible" (okay, somebody is serious about photography), and "So Your Teen is a Goth", which combined with the picture on the wall suggests that a certain someone from this house was a bit like hard work back in their teen years...

Philip Masters

On the back. Or possibly on the lower hem.

Philip Masters

I don't think he was threatening Steve. He wants last rites for the jacket. Can't blame him.

Hugh Eckert

P.O.E.

Hugh Eckert

Ayyyy!

Hugh Eckert

Probably just off camera.

Hugh Eckert

Just tell everyone the jacket is a cummerbund

Afunnythinghappedtome

Is there supposed to be a visible jizz stain on the jacket, or is it just implied? It looks fine to me 😂

Jono Hayward

"5 stars, would illicitly hook up again."

BookBeard

Digging the Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett titles on the book shelf.

Sean Foley

There's a book that says "So your teen is a goth." Love the background details 😄

happy

When in doubt, thermite! It's cheap and easy to make.

Carrie

Cleo on her way to give Anh her review and recommendation. Steve should probably hydrate, maybe do a few stretches.

Stephen Wells

Cleo be like: that was some really great music!

Andrew

those books!!! i know what I'D be doing at this event and it would NOT get me laid.

Boots McGoot

next to h2g2 no less

Sarah Peper 🏳️‍⚧️

I love the book that just says "SMUT" on the cover

Bailey Doolittle

So, he broverstepped a broundary?

legobil

Hahaha, I love the details! The haphazard tie knot on Steve, the slight blush on Cleo 🥰

legobil

Definitely just a Brosdemeanor! It's still gross if you both aren't cool with sharing fluids! #youcanhavesomehomo #asatreat

Grace Kieser

Same, I zoomed in on the bookshelf before I even read the dialogue.

BookBeard

Sven can surely get a Country and Western title out of what happened to his jacket. "My friend's done the dirty on me . . ."

Jason Miller

Sure, unless of course they have a particularly interesting job. Like, say for example, product testing at a sex toy factory.

BookBeard

What makes you think there is a part of the jacket that isn't stain?

Vince Smith

How serious of a violation? Was it a capital broffense or just a minor broversight?

BookBeard

True, enzyme cleaners are tremendously useful. But on the other hand, fire is nice and warm. So each method has its pros and cons.

BookBeard

OMG! Grumpy teen Dora!

Bagge

I would assume that the stain is on the back, so not visible to us. Possibly we get to see on Sunday

Sharpless

is there supposed to be a visible stain on the jacket? because I'm not seeing anything

Maxwell Black

Steve... bruh.

AlexKorobeiniki

Goes with the handy parent guide "So Your Teen Is a Goth" on the bookshelf!

Rebecca D

Beeps still swinging for Sven? you love to see it. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

🤣😂 it's all about the enzymes. Specific ones that are situation dependent. But, 100% effective.

Carrie

But what about Brayden and Jayden?

Captain Button

Unless Tortura scares her off...

Captain Button

He tossed all his work into the public domain recently. Or at least that stuff that wasn't contracted to some publisher somehow.

Captain Button

You know you might actually be onto something there. She was working on getting her memoirs published way back in the triple digits, which is at least a couple years in QC time. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=460

BookBeard

Just this morning I got "Selling Out" stuck in my head but couldn't quite remember all of it, looked it up on Spotify and ended up listening to the complete works of Tom Lehrer for like 3 hours. I regret nothing.

BookBeard

Squid ink just doesn't work

Todd Ellner

Only for a quartet

Todd Ellner

Don’t get caught up in the… CROSS FIRE!

will davison

The second best way, after fire.

BookBeard

Good old Brad Chad and Thad, it's been a while since we've seen them. I wonder how they're doing.

BookBeard

Most of my clothing has at least some jizz on it. Granted, it's mostly MY jizz though.

Yelling Bird

The Southern Reach trilogy? Exceptional reading tastes!

Shawn K. Younkin

Steve, you dry clean it yourself BEFORE returning it! Total bro code violation!

Grace Kieser

This is what happens when you're not careful with your precious bodily fluids.

Sean Kinlin

The nice man cumeth.

Sean Kinlin

Lots of people have commented on it.

Sean Kinlin

That picture of Dora the Destroyer is adorable, nice touch.

Allan Widner

Give it time, she'll be back for more. You know what they say, "Once you go Steve, you won't want to leave."

BookBeard

Cleo does seem rather pleased with how things turned out.

Populuxe

That is in fact "The Fifth Elephant", one of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.

BookBeard

And considering Steve’s career path, Sven’s threat is more performative than frightening.

Populuxe

Hahaha, that is a nice detail.

SilverbackRon

Cleo is a squirter.

Opus the Poet

Also a pretty great jam by Stevie Ray Vaughn.

Doc Gumby

Steve, did you make big cums on Sven's jacket?!

Diptych

If it's uncut And un subt– Le

Adam with two As, a D, and an M

Apparently a novelization of “The Fifth Element” exists in the QCverse. Honestly, I could imagine the movie with an all AI cast. Save for Dallas, who would be played by our lady pleaser, Steve.

Chauncey

Are we not talking about young, sulky Dora's portrait? Because it's amazing.

Rob A

Also, Priapic Echidna would be an excellent band name.

William Cole

Photo credit: Peter Bianchi for every image in “Smut”

Melissa Wilson

I hope Richard was not also caught in the crossfire.

William Cole

I dont' think "girlfriend" would apply here, but they certainly upheld tradition.

Travis Young

Another satisfied customer

SpazzyC

No, but they can gift Jim "So Your Teenager Is A Goth"

Travis Young

It appears to not be antigrav, but spun grav, so it getting turned off would be REAL BAD TM

Travis Young

Sure, he could have it cleaned. But he would still know...

BookBeard

How bad could it be? I mean, unless Steve can rival Peter North for volume (or he and Cleo are, like, coprophiles or something), would a dry cleaner have any difficulty getting biological fluids out of fabric? Or is it more of a "this jacket will forever be unclean" thing?

Benjamin Geiger

I enjoy the details of Steve's and Cleo's hair. Post "illicit hookup" indeed.

ValdVin

They have two other pictures of a (possibly even younger) Dora looking similarly grumpy, so apparently that facial expression was around for at least a few years. But hey, if you're gonna goth properly you gotta commit to it. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1040 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5408

BookBeard

My first interpretation was that Sven was going to be killed for some reason.

Benjamin Geiger

And the Hitchhikers Guide...

Captain Button

I thought he was threatening to kill Steve for that 😅

Pejo

Thought that was DSLA & Google wasn't helpful.

Pejo

Don't you hate it when you meet someone at a party and all they can talk about is their job?

Rich Holmes

A dirty novel I can't shut...

Captain Button

Can confirm: was not a phase

Aerin Moriarty

The smut is actually a photo essay of corn fungus.

Doc Gumby

That is the name of her autobiography. Calling it now. 🤣

SilverbackRon

@Doc Gumby, toldja.

Opus the Poet

"Caught in the crossfire" is such a nice euphemism.

SilverbackRon

Hey Sven, remember when you were being a dipshit about Faye and Steve was the first one to set you straight? Just toss the jacket and call it even, you owe him one. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2753 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2756

BookBeard

Next Week: Tilly tries to eat cereal while the gravity maker is turned off.

Miyaa

Dora's portrait is great

Randall Norman Pick

The smut does not consist mostly of Veronica. No, you can't check.

Drazi

Dang it. Emmett is too young for me to be crushing on 😭

Drazi

I love young Dora and her “It’s not a phase, mom!” look on her face.

JMK

Sven needs to give that jacket a Viking funeral, that thing probably saved Richard's life 🤣🤣🤣

Aditya Rameshan

Don't forget the Terry Pratchett.

BookBeard

The jacket's funeral. Dulce et decorum.

William Burns

... whose funeral? What am I missing?

Benjamin Geiger

I thought it said Tech, and was like "yeah, that makes sense" 😂

James Anthony

The DSLR Bible has a different color spine in our universe. I think it's aqua.

Opus the Poet

Laughing over the books in the background

Melvin Miller

Oh there it is! He's in front of it the first two panels the shelf is in.

Devin Gates

Hi Beeps

ordith

Now that you pointed out the books I see a whole shelf of Iain Banks and Iain M Banks

Cathal Mc Ginley

Came here to make that exact same comment. Cleo looks radiant.

Opus the Poet

I immediately looked for the Banks on the bookshelf and was happy to see them

Arlo C-J

Right next to "SMUT"

Bill Silvia

Nice to see some Discworld in the bookshelf ❤️🐘

Pat Allan

And a picture of a young Dora on the wall

Michael Boettger

Attaboy, Steve

Blake Manor

That made my day ahhh!!!

pseudoclever

FYI, certain biological things are the best way for cleaning fabrics when other biological things are involved.

Carrie

That looks just like Sam, no wonder!

Doc Gumby

"So Your Teen is a Goth" lmao

Ashbury Haight

OH MY GOD BABY DORA???

Aerin Moriarty

I love the pink volume in the bookcase just titled, 'Smut'.

Doc Gumby

GothEmmett will repeat that joke in school, won't they?

ValdVin

Bruh, never wearing that jacket again either.

Jim Sharkey

"Smut"

Terry Parry

Steve got another girlfriend!! Good for him.

Andrea Andrew

Bros! Bros! Bros! (appear out of nowhere).

ValdVin

Cleo certainly looks all rosy and satisfied. Good Job Steve!

Doc Gumby
