He's Just Asking Questions

I got covid! It fuckin sucks! I have a small buffer at the moment so hopefully there will be no comic interruptions while I recover, but we'll just have to wait and see. Thank you for your patience.

He's Just Asking Questions

Comments

Indeed it does. An astute observation, friend.

Guilherme Monteiro

I just got over being sick, but the test strips say not COVID. Still no fun. I hope your illness was even less than mine.

Carl Fink

Aaack! I’ve just gotten back online today after several days in ICU with Covid! Still in hospital, but soon to move to rehab for a short time. Didn’t knowing had it until sudden exhaustion set in and I was unable to stand. Rescue squad has to cart me out of my bathroom. Once in ICU and diagnosed, Covid triggered an episode with my chronic Atrial Fibrillation. Improved now, and walking around on my own.

Guy McLimore

Of course, yes. That's why Sven's demand is so uncomfortable xD But for that matter he could make up anything that would be less personal if he didn't want to share the true conversation.

enchantedsleeper

Covid sucks. We had it a while back. My case was mild, my partner lost her sense of smell and sense of taste for about 4 months. Hopefully yours is mild and passes quickly, Jeph!

Matt Pedone

In panel 5, it looks like Sven is holding up the dino.

Matt Pedone

All the good mojo i have to spare, I'm sending to you; heal well, and *stay hydrated* because if you don't it'll take longer and you'll feel like utter shit (worse than you already do, I mean.) Mint tea kind of helps-- it's a stomach soother and enough of it will make you mildly sleepy, though it won't do much else.

YsabetJustYsabet

Rest up Jeff! Covid sucks!

Cole Blackblood

Dang it, everyone in the comments section is like "boo, get better soon, Jeph, your HEALTH is important." I want some comics and comic-related discussions, damn it. Work, people, work! (Cracking my whip). But, seriously, get well soon, Jeph.

Guilherme Monteiro

Thank you for the good wishes. I appreciate that. I got a Paxlovid Rx right away and it seems like it may be helping already.

Clifton Royston

All true! And get Paxlovid if you can

Chelsea

Guest Comics?

Not that Patrick Foltz

Mmmm - Cretaceous IPA.

Allan Widner

Sarcasm is wasted on Lars.

Daniel Drazen

Hope you get better soon.

QuillCarrier

Feel better!

Raul Trevino

Oof. It's no fun. Rest up and feel better.

Roland Roberts

I hope it passes quickly. And we will still be here whenever you get back. Please take care of yourself first.

Brad

Feel better soon! Take care of yourself first; don't worry about comics. Also, Sven- no.

Hugh Eckert

Get well soon!!!

Mae.Bee

Take it easy and don't worry about the comic, you're health comes first

maninblack

Covid is nothing to test, take it easy. We will be here when you're up to it.

CaseyAEC

your health is far more important than our entertainment mr. jeph. please rest, stay hydrated, and get proper nutrition <3

Blair Finkmoore

As other's have said, don't push yourself. Nobody's world will come to an end if the comic is delayed.

Carl Cravens

Hope you feel better soon! No stress if the buffer runs out, I'm sure we can all survive a break.

Skye

Dang, Jeph! I hope you recover from the plague soon! (I used to refer to COVID as "the plague" in the early days, and dipshit spreaders as "plague rats", and I guess the name stuck) Definitely rest, and look after yourself. I hope you are able to shake off the worst of it.

David Paul

Feel better soon! Sending hugs!

Spazzzen

It's definitely better than violating her trust on the other topic they talked and worked through... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2323

David Paul

Son of a Bianchi...

David Paul

I’ve somehow still avoided getting it. I hope you feel better soon Jeph!

Lyman Green

Yikes - get better!

Kith penDragon

Rest! Also take an antihistamine as well as paracetamol and ibuprofen - recent research indicates antihistamines help reduce the severity. Good luck and best wishes.

Stephen Wells

Feel better soon Jeph!

Jeffrey Anderson

Hoping for a quick and unproblematic recovery! Don't push yourself when you start to recover, take the time until you're fully back to strength, otherwise the risk of ending up with long-term issues is so much worse.

halfur

One of his main traits has always been an ability to consider things beyond himself. Donating to support May's fundraiser was actually a pretty big step in that regard.

enchantedsleeper

Man, it's like they're related! xD

enchantedsleeper

That would be interesting, the return of Yelling Bird in 2024 xD

enchantedsleeper

Oh no, poor C3P0, sharing a name with a virus variant 🙈

enchantedsleeper

I hope your round with it is light and passes quickly </3

enchantedsleeper

I'm not sure that's really the core of it? They were already pretty solid before he thought about that.

enchantedsleeper

As someone who got it recently as well, I give you my best wishes. It sucks, even though it was brief. Still feeling stuff a week after, its a bastard of a disease.

Johan Nyqvist

Don't die, Jeph!!!

Garra Wolfdog

Marten, you can say "I had to think through if I was prepared to move for her career." It's OK.

Bagge

Ouch. Yeah, don't expect to recover from Covid fast and don't push through the sickness, it can relapse. Though the variant I caught early this year was only really bad the first few days, it still took a month before I could get back to work.

Atashkada

I am so sorry you are ill.

Joseph Bonnar

I want the Cretacious IPA.

Joseph Bonnar

Sven no xD Also, feel better soon, Jeph!!! Please rest and take it easy!!

enchantedsleeper

All right, now my big question is how these two plot lines are going to intersect...

Hal Shipman

oh covid sucks to get, nearly died from it, please feel better soon Jeph. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

Oh No, sorry to hear that. Take your time and get well soon

Severin Schols

Getting COVID truly sucks, hope your feel better soon 💜

AngieWords

Oh, no, I'm so sorry to hear that! I hope you recover quickly and well - sending you positive thoughts. If you need to take the time off please do so and don't even worry about it

Kelly

Take care of yourself and get well soon Jeph! I had COVID for the first time 6 months ago, and was only really sick for a few days, but it took me a couple of weeks to recover fully.

Mark

Hopefully you'll recover quickly!

Covox

Get well soon

Andreas_B

Boo-hiss! Hope your case is as mild as possible! Sending healthy vibes your way! 🙏🏻👍🏻💪🏻

David Neale-Lorello

Oh, that sucks! Hope you get better soon! ❤️

Ingrid Nordbø

Get better and don't worry about us! We'll survive!

Wicketbird

Hope you heal quickly!

Resa Wildermuth

I got it in Nov. of '20, and still survived it. Not much fun, though. I've gotten all the shots and boosters since then.

Carl G Knoblock

Get some rest and take care of yourself! Hope you feel better quickly!

David Martelli

Take care of yourself first, we can wait.

André alias DD

Them both being idiots is surprising exactly no one. Also, get well soon, Jeph!

legobil

Did the sarcasm go over Sven's head, or is he just ignoring it? (also, I hope you feel better.)

Davus Otho

Hope you recover quickly! And ditto the posts about Paxlovid.

FreeReedz

Take Paxlovid. It worked great for me and husband. Reduced our illness to 5 days.

Marsia Powers

Sorry you got covid. Just got done with a bout of it myself, except it won't completely fuck off. Hope your luck is better than mine.

Uniquitous

Recover well and feel better! If that means I didn't get an update, I'll be fine. Maybe I'll go buy a mocha or something if it bothers me at all.

Thomas Halpin

Ugh sorry Jeph

Jeff Solomon

Fuck COVID

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Sorry to hear about your infection. It really sucks how few people bother masking anymore and have no consideration for all the people they could be infecting even if they're asymptomatic. Get lots of rest, intentionally. Try not to strain your system as it attacks our respiratory system

Ami

Don't stress about it if you need to take a few days comic free. We'll be here when you come back.

Bagge

I still wear a mask anywhere outside the house, which makes getting it doubly annoying. (My newly college grad kid came down with it this weekend, and by the time he knew or we knew, it was too late for me to avoid it.)

Clifton Royston

Goddamn it, you too? I just tested positive today for the first time ever. I agree, it sucks.

Clifton Royston

I bid you a quick recovery! There's probably a lot of sleep in your near future. It's gonna be okay!

Mordaeus

Maybe nosiness is hereditary?

William Cole

But can May handle Yay?

Andrea Andrew

Either one of them could easily destroy him.

William Cole

Rest and self care. Get well soon

Tim Mitchell

Rest and self-care are wayyyyy more important than whether a webcomic gets updated for a while! Take care, Jeph! You are absolutely worth it.

Yugo Nakai

Hope you feel better soon!

Aerin Moriarty

I hope you feel better soon and all the way. Long covid sucks. Sending out good wishes to the universe for you! (((((((🥰)))))))

Munchkin Threats

I hope you get better soon. I don't wish COVID-19 on anyone let alone one of my favorite artists!

Carrie

Oof, I feel ya. Stupid virus!

S. Rune Emerson

I subscribed so you could be healthy and thrive while you're creating something cool. The healthy part comes first. Take care of yourself!

Jonathan Smith

Maybe they deliver.

jonesnori

Rest up. I'd suggest chicken soup but after reading your column I suggest Duck Soup https://youtu.be/VKTT-sy0aLg

RLDel

(Points) DINOSAUR

Andrew-b

Ahhh, I just had it. Sounds like you have the C3P0 variant as well. And no, I did not make that name up.

Timothy Roller

Get lots of rest and if you run out of buffer, give us some yelling bird strips. Don't mess with covid. It sucks and you don't want to push yourself and end up with long covid.

ducksauz

Hang in there and take care of yourself. Feel better soon!

Anna L Goebel

Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. You make the world a better place, it takes a lot of work. Thank you for taking care of yourself.

Ian McFarlane

Fell better and take care of yourself!

Kevin Dunn

Bummer. I hope it is a mild case. I have had it in the past and feel your pain.

Dan Weiss

Oof get well soon! I also got hit with it for the 2nd time back in June

KapsLocked

Please rest up, Jeph -- don't rush to get back to work, or back to anything. Get tons and tons of rest. Feel better soon!

Chelsea

Oh no! I hope it is a mild case

Lisa Prolman

Hope you feel better soon! Covid can knock you on your ass.

Darth Hypno

I had COVID last month, it was awful. I hope you recover quickly!

DrummerGeek

Get better!

Kenneth Harris

Feel better soon!!!

Cory Thorp

Rest and feel better, Jeph! If we have to wait for new comics while you recover, we'll deal.

Matthew Borus

Sven, stop being Dora. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4403 (Hope you get unsick quickly Jeph)

BookBeard

Nooooooo! Feel better soon!

Violet Moon

Jeez, Sven is really Captain Oblivious here. Has he no good sense at all?

alphanor

Get better. Don't worry about taking a break. COVID sucks farts out of stillborn warthogs

Todd Ellner

Rest up and feel better, we'll still be here. Don't forget to hydrate!

Andie KE8KOY

Get well and stay out of Nassau County, NY!

Rich Holmes

Hope you feel better soon Jeff!

Streb

Please rest - we will wait patiently for you to heal.

Jennifer Doyle

Feel better soon!

Rachel Maeroff

Hope you feel better soon! If there are any interruptions of course we understand, make sure to take care of yourself first!

James A. Whitney

Awww, man, I'm really sorry to hear that! Take care of yourself, and take it easy. We'll be here when you get back.

Kevin Hicks

GET WELL SOON

JoeTheCynic

Get well soon!

Woodys Woods

Oh no! I'm sorry that you have covid! Take care of yourself

Brittany Huckey

My wife kissed it better. She was really fortunate actually, never caught it despite my having it.

Thomas N Wyndham

Omg Sven please! Also Jeph please get rest! Covid fucking blows.

Anton

Take care of yourself, Jeph - we can wait if there are interruptions.

ArtemisFolly

Me and Mom were tired for a month, when we got Covid, and we were on aggressive rest. Don't risk your long-term health by trying to work through a nasty virus. *Rest* as much as you possibly can bear. We'll still be here, once you're better. (I am Beyond Not Kidding about the Truly Aggressive Amounts of Rest.)

Madeline Hunter

So busy laughing at Sven it took me a minute to see the hands-to-face poses; he's very expressive in his obliviousness. (And it's some great drawing by Jeph.)

ValdVin

Great Far Side reference.

Adam Eaton

Ugh I hope you feel better, that shit is going AROUND lately On a comics-related note, I just want to say as a gender-nonconforming person, the whole Claire/Marten love story is one of my favorite things. The love and acceptance, without him making big speeches about Love and Acceptance, is great (and broadly aligns with some of my best experiences in terms of talking about these issues with people I wanna smooch)

Tim Pratt

Feel better Jeph! And thank you!!

Sean Rotter

COVID is terrible, rest rest rest!!! Resting is the most important thing you can do right now!

Alenka Figa

Get well soon! My grandma and I both just had covid; second time for her, third time for me. Not fun

Ashbury Haight

I had covid for the first time last month. after 10 days I had no symptoms. Hope you'll recover fast as well!

Ricardo Bittencourt

Feel better! Take your time recovering! COVID is garbage!! That Cretaceous IPA poster is so great I'd look at it for days and days and not need anything else.

Kevin

Take care, and stay the H-E-Double hockey sticks away from me :D

Devin Gates

Cretaceous?! That sounds like an ancient recipe.

Andrea Andrew

Don't be an idiot, Sven. Ugh, too late. Whatever someone else's experience is, it will never be the exact same as what you can expect out of life, partnership or whatever the fuck comes your way. Advice is good, details on another person's life are just nosy. Jeph, please take care of yourself! I have somehow managed to avoid the 'Rona so far but those who have had it tell me it's especially nasty. I am sure we would rather have a break from QC than have you suffer long Covid from pushing yourself too much.

SilverbackRon

I think that I’ve been lucky to have avoided COVID. Not sure how I’ve done it.

Andrea Andrew

Feel better Jeph!

Aditya Rameshan

Sorry to hear that. Hope you’ve recovered down there.

Andrea Andrew

Get well soon!

Vilinda

Get well soon, Jeph!!! I’m sorry we didn’t beat Covid in 2020. I still wear a mask in grocery stores and on buses.

Andrea Andrew

Hope you feel better soon! Take the time you need!

Daniel Newman

Sorry to hear that, I hope you'll be OK presently!

Patrick R. Wade

Well considering he has Covid, I highly doubt he'll have the energy to go to a robot bar.

King Omni

Get well soon, Jeph.

YoPaulie!

Also chocolate pudding and Indian food.

She Purple

Just finished having Covid, Jeph. Paxlovid is your friend if you can get it! And Cheez-Its are your friend if you get Paxlovid mouth 😛

She Purple

It's a Zero Stars, Would Not Recommend experience. Take care of yourself first. My go-around was helped by miso soup, pho (as hot as you care), and chicken soup (1. It's good for you, and 2. It's nobody we know.).

ValdVin

oh shit man! Wish you a speedy recovery!

Igor Mosyagin

Hail Hydrate!

SilverbackRon

Oh no, I hope you feel better! (But also, Guest Week so you don't have to feel pressured to get back?)

Boter Bug

Get well soon Jeph, get plenty of fluids like some Cretaceous IPA.

Doc Gumby

Hope you have a speedy recovery Jeph, covid sucks.

FuzzyDragon Cosplay

hope you feel better!

Brendan Luster

Take care of yourself man! And Sven, you know if you treated women other than just a piece of ass... maybe you could get a girlfriend.

Shawn K. Younkin

Ugh. Feel better. We'll whine, but really, we have old Pintsize strips to make us giggle while we wait in the VIP room. :-P

Jp

Get well soon - had it three times despite all vaxxes & boosters, no fun at all. But if you can get Paxlovid, it's a lot easier

mshenna

ah, balls; good luck with recovery, and Do NOT hesitate to ask for retrovials or whatever the stuff that unfucks you in post is

Valk

Oof I'm so sorry you have the Rona, hope you heal fully ✨✨

Shey

Awwww! Stupid covid. I hope you recover swiftly and avoid ye olde long covid 🫂

Dan Tomalesky

The post in the background is distractingly quirky.

Eric Christian Berg

Feel better soon!! Hail hydrate and rest up

Dorian

Damn, best wishes, dude! I've been given this advice on avoiding long covid and will pass it on: rest as much as possible and significantly longer than you think you need to after recovering. Personally I would rather see a long break in QC than for you to have what I have (I have a similar post-viral condition acquired before 2020).

Diane

Take care and rest even more than you think you need to. Covid ain't no joke. I wish you a speedy recovery and no long Covid!

Amy ☣

Take your time to feel better!

Phaye

Sven has good intentions, but he seems very oblivious to social cues like privacy, similar to Yay. Oh no. Is that a possible ship?! I hope Roko and May are ready for competition.

Andrea Andrew

Sending good vibes your way! Hope you get well soon. Drink lots of water, getting dehydrated makes it way worse!

Kylie Rudder

Dang. Sorry to hear that you caught the 'rona!! Hope you're feeling better soon!

Tom Cavnar

Sven, you need to learn about boundaries, my guy!

Grace Kieser

COVID gave me erectile dysfunction and made every one of my joints ache.

Thomas N Wyndham

I hate when that happens.

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Feel better!

thelibrariancat

Dang, the 'rona fuckin sucks, hope you feel better soon!

fluffy

Oh no! I hope you have an easy time of it. Make sure you rest & take time to recover ALL the way.

William Cole

Please get better jeph. Covid is no joke. I don't care what anybody says. Please take care of yourself.

Jose Alfredo Villalobos

Ah shit, the spicy flu, hope it passes quick!

Jason Wotzko

Oh no, I hope you heal up fast!

Nik

Get better soon

Thomas Malone

Aw man, hope ya get better soon!
