Time Skip, A-Woo-oo

MAWWIAGE?

Time Skip, A-Woo-oo

Comments

Wow Bookbeard, I'd completely forgotten that whole section of the story

Clifton Royston

Pretty sure it's referencing Duck Tales, a-woo-oo!

Watson

Damn, good sleuthing! Yeah, it's like an elongated Comic Sans xD

enchantedsleeper

Found it. Samaritan Tall Lower. My first guess would have been Comic Sans, and it does look similar.

Carl G Knoblock

Well, I got the three panel part right :P

Doc Gumby

I never questioned that it would be Tai and Dora, because any other wedding would mean we'd skipped over theirs. But the Save the Date was an odd choice. My guess is that either 1) Jeph wanted to mess with us juuuust for a bit or 2) "Save the Date" was the easiest way to invoke a wedding, since "You are cordially invited" can apply to lots of events. Though he could have put "to the wedding of" and then had the names indecipherable.

enchantedsleeper

Joke will be on us when Jeph does a single-page montage of the reception xD

enchantedsleeper

Not Save the Date. You expect a fancy font on wedding stationery. I've just never seen the Some Time Later font used before.

enchantedsleeper

Oh, Willow in werewolf mode definitely "rings a bell"

Pejo

Which one, the "Save the Date" or "Some time later..."?

Carl G Knoblock

I'd see a better future for Willow and Winslow, but it might just be too sweet to happen.

Ursus Ridens

I'm guessing a three panel with no words, just establishing shot, close up, crowd reaction.

Doc Gumby

Some of Yay and some extrudates of the Director?

Ursus Ridens

@enchantedsleeper That's what I noticed too.

ValdVin

you know what I just realized? It's a "Save the Date," not even a wedding invite. That kind of makes me think it's not Tai and Dora's wedding? Bc the Save the Dates would have been sent out a long time ago. Is it....is it Clare and Marten??

Chelsea

mawwiage is whath bwings uff togevvah todayyyy.

Joe

Man, Joe. How years waiting to use that? Amazeballs.

David Durant

Most people seem to think that the "A-woo-oo" is from DuckTales. (I haven't actually seen it)

enchantedsleeper

Taira?

enchantedsleeper

Marten actually promised not to move before the wedding, so we are still potentially going to see that happen. But Jeph doesn't have to show all of it.

enchantedsleeper

👏 👏 👏

Richard Lindquist

I have to hope it is their wedding--I'd hate to miss it! Personally I think it makes sense. The ability to skip to the Tai's and Dora's wedding gives him the ability to tell the funny high points of the move to cubetown in retrospectives/memory recall, and not have to skip too far into the future. Good way to not have to go through all of tedious parts, and the move would take a looooong time.

Mooster

Watch this not even be Tai and Doras wedding

Aerin Moriarty

How has this touched on DuckTales?

Michael

I find it very strange how invested I am in this wedding.

Allan Widner

I'm realizing that I don't know what to call this wedding. Dotai? Taido? Bianbert? Hubchi?

Bill Silvia

Cue Alice Grove eating cereal...

Ursus Ridens

The ceremony will finish in August 2025. Reception goes through 2030 easily.

BookBeard

Earworm! I hate it, but I love it.

Ursus Ridens

Guesses as to when in real time the wedding is done? My money is on August 2025.

Not that Patrick Foltz

I'm curious to see if it is just a two week skip. It is notable that this storyline gets it's own cover so to speak.

Not that Patrick Foltz

I mean, now I ship it...

Etienne M.J. Dubourg

Which was approximately two and a half *years* ago real time.

Rob Vary

That's another deep callback.

Opus the Poet

The actual question Pintsize asks is, "Wanna fake a honeymoon?"

OldGoat

I agree but I also think having Yay come back too quickly would undercut the seriousness of their situation. I'm looking forward to finding out how Roko has been handling it in the meantime, since I doubt she would just let the matter drop.

BookBeard

Three weeks away as of (roughly) a week ago in-universe. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4873

BookBeard

(other side of the card) You are cordially invited to the wedding of Lieutenant Potter and Agent Turing! When: [Redacted] Where: [Inadequate Security Clearance]

BookBeard

I dig this. Claire and Marten getting set up in Cubetown could drag on FOREVER. I'm psyched to see how things have changed and then learn how those changes came about. Plus those ladies have been waiting long enough!

CaseyAEC

Imagine if we get punked with a completely different wedding

joe velsher

CANTILEVER!

joe velsher

and this is where teh comic ends

JourneymanWizard

Thank you BookBeard! Made me re-read the previous wedding arc. And reading Claire learning whiskey is so fun. That Dune reference is legendary.

legobil

Yes.

prettydragoon

Thank you, thank you! I shall be here all week for *all* your prognosticatory needs! (I called it!)

David Durant

If Steve is marraying anyone other than Cosette there shall be 😤😤😤 (borrowed from FartCaptor).

David Durant

Nope, they decided against potluck. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4511

BookBeard

Something tells me Pintsize asks a lot of people. The real question is who actually said yes...

BookBeard

Which of Tai's dresses? The girly dress or the breakaway tutu? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4744

BookBeard

Re-read these again, and it is SUCH a good run of strips 😂 Bubbles offering to create a distraction with a signal flare: "Where were you keeping that?" "Betwixt my mighty glutes." 🤣🤣🤣

enchantedsleeper

Whose dress, Tai's or Dora's?

enchantedsleeper

I really need to catch up with S*P, the last time I checked in was probably in the late 2010s

enchantedsleeper

Life is like a hurricane in Northampton Robots, romance, coffee shops also, Cubetown! Love is a mystery, or just chemistry! QC! oo woo oo Every day Jeph's out there making QC! oo woo oo

William Burns

Bubbles

BookBeard

[goes down on one knee but still has to look down] DROID 06, WILL YOU MAKE CRUSHBOT THE HAPPIEST CRUSHBOT IN THE WORLD?

BookBeard

I love a good Groucho reference!! Especially that one!

alphanor

Wasn't Tai and Dora's wedding in just a few weeks the last time we hear about it in-comic? As in, it would be this fall? I can't find the reference

Chelsea

I clutched my pearls for a month before I realized it can't be that huge of a timeskip, If that we're going to happen we would focus on some other characters

Jessie Basham

Time-Skip-A-Loo-La She's my baby! Time-Skip-A-Loo-La Drives me crazy!

Doc Gumby

Roko and Sourdough

ljdbjlasfbjk

Moray & Liz?

Uniquitous

Is this where they Tai the knot?

Todd Ellner

Probably not Yay.

Erin Putnam

Sam and Emmitt

Miyaa

"Or rewrite history" would be entirely appropriate, it would seem.

Jason Rock

That dweem wiffin a dweem

Matthew Harris

Awesome! I know a Pastafarian who marries people while he wears a colander.

Carrie

Don’t panic; you know where your towel is.

Melissa Wilson

Some time later in a galaxy somewhat nearby...

Mad Marie

Yay says you're welcome.

Opus the Poet

Doesn't feel like only two years ago.

Opus the Poet

The assumption is it's Tai and Dora.

Opus the Poet

HHGTTG FTW!

Opus the Poet

Life is like a hurricane...

Bill Silvia

Probably Dora and Tai, or maybe Veronica and Jim? Or people we didn't know were together. BUT.....Yay...?

Onyx

No way!! I asked my girlfriend to marry me this summer! (I'm wondering who Pintsize asked though).

Doeke Zanstra

Penelope and Dolphin Jack.

Dean Reilly

I like how Jeph puts "some time later" so he doesn't have to commit to when everything else was in relation to the wedding. Is it the next day???

enchantedsleeper

What font is that? It seems unusual for QC

enchantedsleeper

The explanation could also be any strip where they mention the wedding, I guess xD But why does it say "Save the Date", those are usually ages before a wedding

enchantedsleeper

I WISH

enchantedsleeper

That was a Clue film reference

enchantedsleeper

Pretty sure it's DuckTales.

Tim Weber

Sean möglich...

Leak

What's next? Sunstone skipping forward to volume 20?

Leak

Gloop hug!

David Garrett

Dora's referred to her "wife" at least once. Either she was being ironic, or that already happened off camera.

Ravenswing

I’m going with the Duck Tales theme song.

David Garrett

It could ALSO be Willow in Werewolf Mode. (Check Jeph's NSFW collections if this doesn't ring a bell.)

Joseph Bonnar

Pintsize is marrying his pigeon son's mother.

Atramors

I looked through the comments & didn't see anyone address the "A-Woo-oo" in the title, so my headcanon is that that's the beginning of the Doctor Who theme. 👍

Pejo

After the last strip, the "Moray & Liz visit Northampton" storyline seemed to be wrapped up, which made Yay's farewell note also seem like the end of that storyline too for the time being, rather than a short pause. I guess this pretty well confirms that. Shit, I miss Yay, I hope they're all right, & I hope they return soon, in one form or another.

Pejo

We can only hope that mawwiage is what bwings us togethah with Yay.

Stephen Wells

Together they learned the answer to why Bubbles has a...

Stephen Wells

Dora has a thing from Bad Dragon which lets her knot the (message ends, connection lost)

Stephen Wells

Man I was hoping it was crushbot getting married.

Robert Smart

Damn. It's not potluck, is it? (I'm out of Hamburger Helper.)

Ray S, 2nd nickname

I suspect it's Dora and Tai's wedding, but I could easily be wrong.

Joseph Bonnar

I have the fucked up situation of rapidly approaching their age atm

Dave, Duke of Fridges

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Rob Scott

But who gets to be the flower girl?

Bagge

Why did you say the same thing twice?

Nulgar

SEAN YEA

Brittany Huckey

That's an apt profile picture then. 🩷 to Stefani

Brittany Huckey

Yay better show up

chili sunrise

Which translates to a couple of weeks in real time and a multiple of 5 in comics.

legobil

None of your Marxist filth here!

Captain Button

Though in fairness, I want to see the Iris/Willow thing play out

Zapski

Sean, it’s possible!

legobil

Iris and Willow

Zapski

Insert Tychus from StarCraft 2: ”It’s about god damn time.”

legobil

The absolute teasing is off the charts. I predict Steve marrying a cereal mascot, but it could be the promised wedding we've been expecting.

Thomas Halpin

Steve & Cereal

Adam Friedlander

Liz & Sven are getting married!?

Uniquitous

He's playing tricks on us. The "some time" is maybe a few minutes. 🤔

Markus Schaber

I'm down for that.

PostRetroism

Nah, I bet the Black Slab got an invite

Ian Dunbar

Maybe Yay and the BSEALH eloped.

Sleepy John

"Why don't the three of us get married?" "Why, that's bigamy!" "That's big of all of us."

ValdVin

Thank you for putting words to that feeling I've been having. I'm glad it ain't just me! 36 so maybe a touch behind the S*P characters, but the gap feels smaller every year. Been reading both S*P and QC since long before I really should have been. 😂

Aran Fielder

Same

Shey

Sean, I don‘t know 🤷

Ísabel Pirsic

Tai and Dora

BookBeard

* Melon and a mannequin with "husband" written on it

BookBeard

Wait do we know who’s getting married?

Francis

Perfection, Roko and Brad is a match made in leaven. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3961

BookBeard

The fact that the wedding arc is starting while Yay is still missing is... concerning to me. Also, I give it 50/50 odds that the Black Slab Emitting A Low Hum shows up as an uninvited wedding guest.

Justin

Just as long as Marten and Claire are still going strong is all I need.

Ren Doiron

Tortura and Angus

Alias Fakename

Good point!

djellafine

Imma rsvp 1. And I'll have the bourbon. No need to feed me.

Hawkeye

Roko and Brad.

Daryl Sawyer

Willow and Pinteize.

Daryl Sawyer

It’s all about Sam’s wacky college antics now

Zapski

That's the fanciest summons I've ever seen.

kaitou

Also, I literally just officiated a Princess Bride wedding a couple weeks ago. I wore the hat and everything

Zapski

Joke's on him - I love Alice Grove!

Fay Roberts

This makes four webcomics I read which have touched on Ducktales. What have others here seen?

ValdVin

La Lie Lu Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Zapski

I was expecting something like this. Still missing Yay though 😥

Zapski

I don't know what I find more unnerving, Something*Positive where the characters have aged alongside me (Oh god Rory's voting now!) or QC where I started as their contemporary and I'm now 15-20 years older than them.

Slight Hiccup

Oh Faye got her special move, it's just that only Bubbles gets to see it.

BookBeard

Time? Progressing? In QC?

Carin Maja Brooks

If all the characters aren't now way stronger, alla anime time skips, I will be very upset. Been waiting for Fay to get she special move forever.

GZR

Well we been teasing this one for a while now. :)

Yelling Bird

Elliot & Clinton

Jose Alfredo Villalobos

* Station and Tilly

Pete

Cereal was always his first and greatest love. Cosette never stood a chance.

BookBeard

I presume it's Dora and Tai's wedding, but who knows?

jonesnori

I love QC so much. The disparity fills me with joy

Alcaria Swain

Real world time? About two years. QC time? A week, maybe a week and a half. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4846

BookBeard

* Jeremy and Number Seven

BookBeard

- pops popcorn in anticipation of Tai riding up the aisle on an AI unicorn -

Holly Nelson

phew thank yah for that

meepsalot

QUADRUPLE WEDDING! * Dora & Tai * Marten & Claire * Faye & Bubbles * Marigold & Dale DO IT!!!!!

William Cole

Stay away from the watermelon at the buffet. Just trust me on this.

BookBeard

it doesn't _feel_ like that was 1500 strips ago

ordith

Still waiting for that letter from Mark…

Holly Nelson

Too late, Steve already offered. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4157

BookBeard

...and so our minds are always in the gutter as we read.

Sean Kinlin

JEPH YOU DOG! Man, when was the last time we had an honest to god time skip?

AlexKorobeiniki

That can take years in QC Time!

William Cole

Marten isn't the only adult kid who's expert in doing this. https://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=612 &c.

ValdVin

My vote for Yay and the Director.

Tim Eldred

Well, I did love Alice Grove so I won't mind toooo much.

Ron Braithwaite

They are thinking of abolishing leap days in February. This is an urgent cry to keep Feb 29

Tudza

Tai said three week in #4873. I'd estimate prior to this time skip there was roughly two weeks left. Not much of a time skip in QC time maybe, but in real world time it probably just saved us about 4-5 years. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4873

BookBeard

That bwessed awwangement…that dweam, within a dweam…

William Cole

Technically every panel is a time skip...

Christopher Burke

Beat me to it.

Tim Eldred

I have GOT to see that. Gloop for everybody!

Alacrity Fitzhugh

So Floating Black Slab Emitting A Low Hum is finally tying the knot with Fairy Girl? I always knew those two crazy kids could make it work.

BookBeard

Sean, Maybe?

BookBeard

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Jacob Swider

I think Marten promised that they wouldn't leave before the wedding, so probably only a few weeks jump.

Bridgette Ryan

Steve is marrying Ol' Boaty. Turns out he was the boat that Steve drunk bought and they really hit it off.

BookBeard

For everyone freaking out and seeming genuinely confused, here's the explanation (thx Bookbeard as usual) https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3979

djellafine

Sean, Yes!

Mat

Sven getting married to May... with a watermelon as a the guest of honor.

Shawn K. Younkin

Roko and a loaf of sourdough, obviously.

BookBeard

Jeph will troll us all by reposting all of Alice Grove from tomorrow. 😄

Dean Reilly

I love Pintsize, but the Floating Black Slab can do MUCH better.

Shawn K. Younkin

Dora and Tai's wedding!!! Finally!!!

TSG

YEARS ago

djellafine

Let's hope Marten opens this card a bit quicker than the last one. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2372

BookBeard

Not that much of a time skip though, didn't they say the wedding was in a couple weeks?

djellafine

So, Dora and Tai?

Czarzhan

No. It's a save the date to say good-bye to Claire and Marten. 😭😭😭 Or it's for Dora and Tai.

Shawn K. Younkin

FINALLY

djellafine

Veronica and Jim are not married, no matter how excited Claire would be. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3157

BookBeard

Damn you for being quicker.

Elf Sternberg

Just after 3979, although it wasn't confirmed until 3989. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3979 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3989

BookBeard

Jeph wants to get on with Canada and forgot he has to speed rush a wedding before he can. 😅

Drazi

Sean, no.

Miyaa

Nope, Jeph has said he has no plans to end QC anytime soon. Check the news post on #5000. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5000

BookBeard

i haz anxieties...

Alacrity Fitzhugh

I’m predicting that Iris is legally certified to perform marriage ceremonies in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. And the ceremony takes place in Rhode Island.

Miyaa

WOOOOO

Aditya Rameshan

Yay and the Director's relationship had a rocky start, but they began talking over social media, and now they are getting married.

Doug Moen

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

BookBeard

I forget about Tai until she's mentioned in comments.

Steve McSheffrey

hold up does this mean were finishing the QC?!

meepsalot

WUV. TWUE WUV.

Diptych

Cut to Steve eating cereal, then panicking... Shit, I forgot my wedding day!!!!

Time to Tai the knot!

Sean Kinlin

AND THEN THEY ALL MATRIMONIED

voyager-ngc5195

When did they initially get engaged?

Evan

Jeph has a chance to do the funniest thing and make this about Sven getting married

Bach, outta pocket

Not yet, Dora made a point of asking Marten not to move to Canada till after the wedding

Taigan

Just the other day I was wondering if QC would end with the wedding, ca. 2040 in our outside time.

Olaf

I bet one Internets on Dora and Tai, since they're the only ones engaged as far as I can remember....

Keith Steiger

Tai and Dora's marriage finally?? I'm so excited, the first married couple in the whole strip (other than Marten's dads, and are his mom and Jim married? I forget)

Adarsh Nednur

hell yeah

Dan Curtis

If Pintsize is involved 100% it's going to be some elaborate joke about dates / butts

Simon Green

Heeeey, about damn time we get to Dora and Tai's wedding! Still worried about Yay, though, was not expecting a timeskip before this gets resolved... EDIT: Would have loved this to be Pintsize, but he kept getting zero opportunities to get anywhere with Moray. Dude deserves some happiness by now, let him meet someone who can handle the Pintsize style.

Alias Fakename

Have Dora and Tai tied the knot yet in the comic? I honestly don’t remember.

Kaos7heory

MAN AND WIFE! MAN AND WIFE!

Simon Green

Dora and Tai time at last. I remember how excited I was at the engagement.
