In Which Clinton Is Clinton

Thanks! I'd forgotten this scene completely

Jeff

Clinton being best boy <3

Mae.Bee

Wasn't there a scene where Brun told Clinton (or Elliott?) that she's ace (but using her own words to describe it, very Brun-like) I don't remember a scene with Yemisi talking about her sexuality?

djellafine

the correct ship name for moray/clinton is moron

LH

If the Singularity brings about nothing but Morays, there might actually be world peace.

Trans4Life2021

when you're sniffing a board of those stickers you hoard that's a Moray

Clarence the Liar

JEPH THIS IS UNRELATED BUT MENOMENA JUST DROPPED A B-SIDES EXTENDED VERSION

PGH

Just the one, but she's great!

Andrew Mitchell

Brun's sexuality is as yet unverified, although I strongly suspect ace. Yemisi is the only character confirmed as asexual.

BookBeard

The comparison of Moray and Iris right now... :)

Joseph Bonnar

I don’t know… she might be at the other end of the spectrum, which also hasn’t really had any representation (unless you count Sven? Or Pintsize, but he’s his own weird, weird thing.) She’s enthusiastic about everything she tries and she wants to try everything. She even had the crew use her body as a bong. Doesn’t seem like much of a stretch for her, once she tries it. Not that Jeph could actually include it in the strip, of course.

Joshua

The text at the bottom - signed Gag Halfrunt?

Joshua

Oh yeah! I forgot about Brun since that was like...months ago in real time

djellafine

We have one - Brun! I have no *idea* what Moray's sexuality is, tbh.

Yonatan Zunger

Aww, Moray!

Shaodyn

awwwww

Jared Cyr

!!!!

Sean Kinlin

A doughboy in the hand is worth 2 slime girls in the cube.

Sean Kinlin

@Zak: Actually, he's a Minolta.

Sean Kinlin

When you affirm you’re great After Clinton’s tirade That’s a Moray

panpolypuff

no thoughts only 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️

skinnybdink

or at least an affirmation txt file

MayLaBelle

I hear the Publix behind the golf course has the best sandwiches in town.

Miyaa

When does she meet Zaphod? He's just zis guy, you know?

eduardo

Moray is a human-level intelligence AI with no discernable power source and no visible means of locomotion. She doesn't even know how she moves or how she maintains that humanoid female shape.

Opus the Poet

I used to live in Augusta GA. place was a madhouse during Masters weekend.

Opus the Poet

Steve hasn’t been the same since.

Miyaa

Finding out that her husband had an affair with his secretary will do that. (I hope Yay got him good with an ICBM.)

Miyaa

Clinton: "Well... I'm kind of already filling that role for my boyfriend." Moray: "Ohmygosh! Is he cute as well? I sprung a leak when I first heard about Marten!" Clinton: "Oh he is! Wait, what?"

David Paul

I'm also with Clinton on this. As much of an oddball as she is, Moray is actually pretty fascinating. She has a lot of issues to sort through, but then don't we all to some extent?

David Paul

Claire often has a bit of a blindspot when it comes to Clinton, she normally just sees annoying brother, whether that's what he's doing or not

Zak Reichle

Canon ^^

Zak Reichle

True, but it will be much healthier when Clinton takes this energy home to Elliot :)

Stephen Wells

“Who’s that? Oh, my emotional support human”

Andrew

Do you know many? :)

Andrew

D'awww

Streb

She's just jelly from the block?

Ben Engelsberg

The harm is he's her ANNOYING DORK BROTHER UGH Sometimes you can just be petty for no reason x3

enchantedsleeper

The urge to ship is intense.

Ack

She's a gooey green mist He's a bright metal fist Thatsa Moray!

SpookyPenguin

Gruesome aftermath only, page 122. And my notes only said 'LANPark'. Sigh. Edit: The notes have been corrected, so tense changed to past.

Some Ed

His fanning over people has caused offense and alarm in the past, but so far he seems to be doing fine here.

Diptych

Most assuredly, yes.

Diptych

Definitely

Uniquitous

I wish Claire would just let Clinton be positive here. What's the harm?

Uniquitous

Lucky for Clinton, Moray is exactly the kind of person who likes to hear this.

Nulgar

I mean, she can probably do those if she really wants to.

Some Ed

Honestly, everyone needs an affirmation board.

Hawkeye

Honestly, Clinton's reaction in this situation is pretty normal. I'd also be in awe if I was speaking to a sentient goop lady with an adorable personality.

Luke

cloray

MiqoRems

Gimme the Future! Gimme the Future! Gimme the Future with a Sli-my Girl!

Captain Button

It's my impression that as they were growing up, Aurella also lacked a lot of chill, in no small part because of their deadbeat dad. But she accomplished the goal of getting them to college, and she breathed a sigh of relief and reassessed stuff.

Some Ed

Was that a Zaphod Beeblebrox reference?

Nathan Kinsey

I've always gotten the impression that Aurelia's "chill" kicked in later in life.

BookBeard

I mean, he's not wrong.

Yelling Bird

(I've suspected for some time that Willow is aromantic, but I haven't mentioned it lest I be torn asunder by hordes of enraged shippers.)

BookBeard

I don't think Panromantic is an accurate description. I agree that Moray enthusiastically loves everyone, but so far it has always seemed platonic. In this regard she is much like Willow, strong propensity for forming friendship but no obvious tendency (yet) toward the romantic.

BookBeard

I am trying to figure out how Aurelia managed to raise those two. Not even the slightest chill in either of them, while their mother kicks back and plays bass and casually accidentally becomes a vtube celebrity.

Allan Widner

No fighting - there is Moray enough for both of you

Bagge

She just needs a third arm and a second head

Magic Chopstick Games

But he's matured and is now using his non-chill powers for good instead of selfish ends.

William Cole

I'll give you ace, but Moray seems more Panromantic than anything. She enthusiastically loves practically everyone.

William Cole

Moray would probably be willing to make the gushing reciprocal.

William Cole

Clinton is in awes of her, and most of us wanna fuck her. Jeph, stop creating waifus.

Joel Bateman

Not even Moray is normal about being Moray.

William Cole

You've just described my dream job!

William Cole

It would be lovely to have an aro/ace character

Chelsea Watson

Quit being a buzzkill Claire! They're both having a good time.

Carly Dingman

but without the "with you"

Minzoku Bokumetsu

Figuratively, at least.

Sean Kinlin

There's that zero-chill Clinton we all know and love.

BookBeard

For the Clinton/Moray shippers (Minton?) I think Clinton is just fascinated with Moray as a being and there is no sexual or romantic interest in that. And I've been meaning to comment, since I've seen other characters getting matched up with Moray in previous threads: Moray strikes me as kind of ace; anyone else get that vibe? Idk why, just a feeling. Ace/aro maybe even. (That's asexual/aromantic for folks unfamiliar)

djellafine

True geekiness at its most pure.

djellafine

Black Cow: You can see both root beer and ice cream in her.

ValdVin

Rereading through the archive lately and it's kinda fascinating. Especially since around strip 100 there's a small arc of Pintsize interacting with other AIs about one of them getting unwillingly modded that would probably horrify most of the current cast.

Jay

This is going to throw Elliot's anxiety into overdrive when he hears about it. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4912

Graydon Armstrong

We all need someone to thinks of us how Clinton thinks of Moray. 😂

Aran Fielder

His name is Cameron Streamsworth. His friends call him Cam.

BookBeard

nice hhgttg ref there

marty aka spockblocked

When you're made out of slime Clinton thinks you're divine that's a Moray...

Connor Wilson

Experimental robots in boxes of breakfast cereal? What an absurd and outlandish thing to suggest. That could never happen. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2743

BookBeard

Love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference in the post-comic text!

Matt Pedone

Affirmation!

Not that Patrick Foltz

I need those two to meet irl

KSib

THAT'S A-MORAYYYYYYY

Jonathan Marinaro

Moray could *be* the mattress. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5068

BookBeard

I'd definitely date someone like Moray. Total sweetie. I'd need to buy a lot more towels first, though.

Noise

I just enjoy the fact that Clinton here is just sharing his genuine feelings. No ulterior motives, no unspoken qualifiers, no parasocial relationship. He really thinks Moray is awesome and wonderful.

rhekke

If Clinton moves to Cubetown they can become short distance friends!

PostRetroism

Liz has been promoted to the Librarian's personal attack gremlin.

BookBeard

Only in the masculine case; feminine plural is “Augustae”; neuter plural is “Augusta.”

Miyaa

That would be wrong. Very wrong. And not in a good way.

Todd Ellner

Librarian powers don't work when family is involved

Todd Ellner

"You called?"

David Durant

HAPPY ENDING

Tamara Macadam

I'M WITH YOU ON THIS ONE CLINTON

Wooly50

Please tell me Moray’s phone/drone is a separate AI with a personality all its own (unless it is fact an extension of Moray which, also cool)

Ken

As little as six months ago I would have poured cold water on the "near future" bit but I've been watching a bunch of Boston Dynamics, Google Gemini and OpenAI videos recently...

David Durant

Honestly, Moray needs someone to gush over her every now and then.

Shawn K. Younkin

And it happened so seamlessly!

Doc Gumby

No dumping Elliot!

David Durant

I hear Canadian A&Ws are better than those in the U.S.

Jonathan Taves

Poor Moray, she probably thinks people get cooler things than her free in their breakfast cereal.

Devin Gates

Wouldn't a mattress be more comfortable?

Jonathan Taves

I like how this comic started as a music-subculture-focused slice of life that had a funny anthropomorphic PC character as a gag and now its a post singularity near future sci-fi slice of life comic.

Munchkin Threats

I’m for threesomes, but only if everyone is on board 😎

KingAtticus

I suggest 'Wonder "We're Not Twins" Powers'.

ValdVin

that moment when you realize your affirmation board is all just scratch and sniff stickers

Brendan Luster

Root beer with or without the mug?

Sean Kinlin

I love all of this. Sure, Clinton has less chill than his sister wants, and his Claire is being surprisingly harsh for being high, but that's just folks being folks.

Thomas Halpin

Ouch! and Yay!

Alacrity Fitzhugh

🎶 Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right! Here I am Stuck in the middle with you 🎵

Kaos7heory

Ideally he will dump his boyfriend for a robot slime girl extruded from a robot slime jellyfish, or perhaps a polycule will form and um...threesomes would be extremely flexible

Derek Benson

Or is the plural Augusti?

Sean Kinlin

Moray's the best slime girl

Alacrity Fitzhugh

Claire activates their wonder twin powers to turn Clinton into a bucket of water.

Sean Kinlin

Which would be weirder to see floating in your colleague: hot dogs or root beer?

Bill Silvia

to be fair it's impossible to be *normal* about Moray

LH

Moray gets so much joy out of both of them for dramatically different reasons

Phaine Of Catz

I look forward to the slap fight between the Augustus that would put the Angry Beavers slap fight to shame.

Miyaa

and then Claire used her Librarian Powers to sic Liz on him.

Sammitch

Adorable!! I hope Moray and Clinton become long distance friends.

Carrie

When you're a girl made of slime and you're nice all the time, that's a Moray!

Kuragari

Moray's my favourite slime girl! ♥️

Andrew Mitchell

Awww, good for Moray.

Andrew L Butula

To celebrate Clinton's comment, Moray goes to A&W.

Sean Kinlin

Clinton continues to be my favorite character

Ashbury Haight

And Claire is in the middle.

Doc Gumby

"Awe and Wonder Chamber" gets taped over "Sadness Chamber".
