Other Kinds Of Inheritance

Comments

I like a neko wafer once in a while...

Elrod

Jeph said they were non-alcoholic bitters so it shouldn't matter.

LaPrimaNerda (Sarah Davis)

I know people who used a soda/bitters as their "get sober" drink (It was me, I did that.) and while bitters is high-proof liquor, the amount used is so negligible compared to a shot of it (1-to-2 ounces depending on how much the bartender likes/loaths you, or if they are in a place where they are required to measure their shots for each cocktail [If the bartender has to jigger the pour, chances are they hate everyone]) that you would have to drink several in an hour to even catch a buzz, which is possible, but not probable.

Mikey Bear

Emmett sent a bunch of bitters into that drink effectively making it alcoholic...

Da Nargh!!

Is it bad that I want to see Sam as a goth catgirl? I think she’d make a great catgirl. Probably I shouldn’t think about such things.

Clifton Royston

What does that have to do with Jim and Veronica, though...?

enchantedsleeper

Being Claire's boss (and Faye's former) might somehow fit into the equation? ETA: And the other bride is Claire's former and Marten's current!

Bill Silvia

Yes 🤣 I was just re-reading those strips yesterday. I hope Jeph doesn't pass up this opportunity for some FANTASTICALLY awkward conversations.

enchantedsleeper

Dont forget that Dora And her dad have both, uh, appreciated some of Veronica's work over the years lol!

Green

You know, I was thinking that it's kind of weird Jim and Veronica (and Sam, and Emmett) are at the wedding. The wedding venue was nearly at their house, so I guess that's why, but Veronica's connection to Dora is - idk, former in-law, kinda? And Dora DATED Jim xD Only once, but it's funny that we all talk about Tai's history when Dora is the one with two different exes at her wedding xD

enchantedsleeper

Also bitters are often such a small component of your typical drink that I doubt it would register much ABV in the final product. People give drinks with bitters and soda to children in some parts of the world.

joe velsher

It absolutely is. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4892

Veronica is certainly very attractive. But if I was going to lose my head over an age-appropriate woman in cartoons, Aurelia would be my jam. Unfortunately, she's into younger men...

Scott

The question is how much of a fan of Veronica Aurelia is.

Bill Silvia

it's definitely come up before that Melon's memory is awful: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3917 (not the only strip but I can't be bothered to look up more right now)

Lucas Werkmeister

Jeph actually clarified they were non-alcoholic bitters on the site

Zak Reichle

It's a really good point. We don't know if AIs have eidetic memory. Frankly it's amazing that's never come up before.

David Durant

Most bitters have alcohol in them, so I hope that isnt an issue for faye

JozanBrinter .

I love how Veronica knows Claire well enough to recognise her habitual puns on Marten. Also, big fan of Veronica's new look

lazymagpie

Plot twist: Veronica is a big fan of Aurelia but doesn’t play, watch, or know what a video game is. She’s just into the sexy cow lady

el_zilcho

Evil juice

Daniel Burnett

That's pretty much how I feel about bourbon.

Clifton Royston

Becomes very good at wall climbing: necro-nepo-neko-gecko baby

Halloween Jack

Yeah but I assume Bubbles has visual memories so it would be simple to just replay the video. But considering Emmitt’s chaos field, I can totally see the wrong video playing… scarring Bubbles & Faye for life.

Miyaa

Only held in there by a handkerchief knotted at the corners, it's so sad...

Doc Gumby

I hope she meets Aurelia, realises she's MommyMilkers, and completely fangirls out about it :)

Stephen Wells

A George's Marvellous Medicine situation but with much lower stakes :)

Stephen Wells

I was thinking the same thing!

melloncollic

This will require Emmett to remember exactly what they put in it!

Mark

Doc: So you have a piece of brain lodged in your head?

Captain Button

Aerin; no, as in the Monty Python sketch.

Doc Gumby

So incredibly NSFW

Stephen Wells

TIL Jeph edits the comics between Patreon & the QC web site sometimes

Pejo

Nah, it's just that Emmett's correction of Claire's name for them happened to come on the heels of that story. We know that Emmett has had similar stuff happen and shrugged it off. (Heck, they even gave themself a tattoo - arguably one of the most angry/rebellious things you could do - and seemed entirely nonchalant about it)

enchantedsleeper

We got the shoulder straps a few strips back, we just haven't seen Faye since then xD

enchantedsleeper

True, I think Marten would appreciate some Claire-ity!

enchantedsleeper

lol Claire doesn't even have to be on screen to get credit for the terrible puns. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

And also, in general xD

enchantedsleeper

Ooooh, DommyMilkers is SUCH a good ship name.

enchantedsleeper

Sean schön

Leak

Sam could do much worse for a role model

Bagge

I will, Clairvoyantly state, there are more puns coming.

legobil

I think it's time to Claire away this entire conversation.

Dean Reilly

Yes, it's much better! The lack of neck jewelry on all the people wearing strapless/sleeveless dresses was making me bonkers

djellafine

Damn Marten’s mom is so hot. ❤️🥵

Rodrigo Ourcilleon

Sean YES

Daryl Sawyer

That last panel is everything.

Onyx

But those are all adventures I want to see!

William Cole

The pun in the alt text hurt me

Edward Clayton Andrew

Sean NO

Miyaa

@Andrea Andrew My reaction to panel 1 of https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5409 was that Emmett became Dark Emmett because of the bulldozer incident

Not that Patrick Foltz

Oh he's fine. He's just been going around bursting into random peoples houses, demanding explanations of increasingly obscure science fiction subgenres. "Explain Cyberpunk!" "Explain Space Western!" "Explain Afrofuturism!" "Explain Post-singularity Dystopian Transhumanism!" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2198

BookBeard

It's the chanting that does it. Evil is delicious.

BookBeard

As long as we are getting a tour of parents, I wanna know what Marigold's dad is up to these days.

William Cole

Keep in mind that Faye used to drink REALLY bad bourbon.

William Cole

Eyeball Soup

William Cole

Welcome back!

William Cole

Shall Marten continue to tell these puns that Claire so adores?/Quoth Veronica, "Nevermore"

Bill Silvia

Emmett was mixing the drink, but they definitely gave an "in it for Sam's sake" vibe during their first wedding scene.

Bill Silvia

Now only Dora looks topless in that panel!

Bill Silvia

Ok, I have to know what those bitters are, because flat soda water, hot sauce, green olives and maraschino cherries is not a great start

Matthew Delahaye

It's only sudden for us on patreon, he actually added the straps and necklace in #5405 but only in the version on the website. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5405

BookBeard

Bitter & Spice & Everything Nice

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I like the sudden addition of straps and a necklace for Faye, and I mean that sincerely. I think it elevates the look, makes it feel more formal and complete, plus it combats the naked vibe I kept gettin whenever I see a strapless gal cut off at the shoulders. Also it's really hot, just gotta say it.

Green

necro-nepo-neko-kodomo

Minzoku Bokumetsu

I know, I had to take great Claire not to over do my pun.

Joel Bateman

necro-nepo-neko-baby nek minit

Simon Green

Mad Marten: Beyond Punderdome

Sean Kinlin

You Claire-ly had to stretch it a bit to make that pun work.

David Paul

Old Ones Fashioned

Sean Kinlin

... You made her goth JUST so you could make that joke, didn't you?

Robert Wrigley

"Let the puns flow through you!"

David Paul

"I mean, I guess Veronica is OK..."

Sean Kinlin

Yeah she was Claire-ly supportive of their relationship at the start. Maybe she could Claire-ify exactly what about the pun she dislikes?

Green

Gothsmopolitan!!! Yes! Yes! 1,000 times, yes!

Melissa Wilson

Maybe Sin-and-Tonic?

Doc Gumby

Kind of a pun-sided argument you make, but I’m sold.

Melissa Wilson

Ye Gods! I just realised the 'Meet the Parents' scene between these two is inevitable.

Thisguy

The Emmett-able Intoxicant (the pun could work with several words so in this case I want to specify the referenced word was "imitable" 😅)

Green

It's too late, the sickness is in him now.

BookBeard

If she was also a lizard would she be a nepo-necro-neko-necco-gecko-baby?

Adam with two As, a D, and an M

Oh no, I can hear the inevitable DommyMilkers shippers thundering this way already... *flees*

BookBeard

They are certainly a follower when Sam is around, that's for sure. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4694

BookBeard

I would love three months worth of strips of just Martin’s mom and Claire’s mom hanging out together! I think it’d be awesome.

Alan Groves

Challenge to the comment section: Now that it has Faye's seal of approval this cocktail needs a name. I'm thinking either "Grim Fizz" or "Gothsmopolitan".

BookBeard

It seemed like Emmett was doing the leading earlier.

Opus the Poet

I wouldn't want her to get caught up in patriarchal body image BS about being "wafer thin."

Captain Button

What! That was a good joke!

Alacrity Fitzhugh

yessss let the puns floww through youuuuuu feel the powerrr of the punn sideeee

SpookyPenguin

Necro Neko....Holy Chan!

Sorastro

Are you Doc Gumby as in the doctor with EDS?!

Aerin Moriarty

To be honest I kinda pictured panel one just being Faye's face in a massive negative reaction to Emmet's concoction.

Doc Gumby

Veronica has no one to blame but herself. She was trying to set him up with Claire from the moment they met. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2379

BookBeard

I'd watch that!

Doc Gumby

If she was eating cookies and a catgirl would it be a nepo-necro-neko-necco-baby?

Randall Norman Pick

I'm constantly inventing hypothetical QC spinoffs in my head and a prequel of Marten's mother's early life is high up there in my mind.

Aerin Moriarty

Good to see Marten's mom

Michael Boettger

1) oh thank god some shoulder straps 2) Raven Queen

Elberik

I have returned!

Yelling Bird

As they say in Britain, that's how the punt ages...

Doc Gumby

And if she was also a wafer she would be a necro-nepo-neko-Necco baby

Adarsh Nednur

And to her aunt she would be a nice-neice-necro-nepo-neko-baby!

Doc Gumby

And if she got into disappointing wafer candies, she would be a Necco-necro-nepo-neko-baby

Mitch Megaw

Puntagious

Adarsh Nednur

Now I want wafers.

Captain Button

Every time I catch up the ennui hits me. Have to wait a whole day for another one, or on weekends three days!

AJ Saint

LOL- I love Emmett but they are definitely a follower.

Shawn K. Younkin

It’s why half my comedy is puns and word play. Also some dirty jokes.

Andrea Andrew

Marten, no. Don’t let Claire influence you with her puns or her Claireface.

Miyaa

Sam 100% thinks her dad's girlfriend is the coolest. She'll just never admit that.

Jim Sharkey

Oh god... Her puns are spreading. Its Un-Claire-able to read.

Joel Bateman

"Positive role model" is accurate, but she does need to lock some of her suitcases up from prying gothettes.

ValdVin

Damnit Marten! I mean, well done, but damnit Marten!

Tannerbot

Good to see Faye’s old haircut. I thought Emmett was the one in charge of this goth transition.

Andrea Andrew

It's true, trans girls do love ourselves some puns

Violet Moon

And if she was a good child she would be a nice-necro-nepo-neko-baby!

Shawn K. Younkin

Puns are indeed contagious.
