Questionable Content 5: Suffers Occasional Outbreaks of Butt's Disease

[Gez]

How does a robot make you lose your faith in humanity?

Who built the robots, again?

[Flickerdart]

Who built the robots, again?

Other, more primitive robots. Singularity, remember?

[Coidzor]

Who writes the robot's material?

That's not her underwear, that's her back tattoo.

Oops, my bad. It would have been some weird underwear, I'll admit.

[Felius]

Marteen really needs to stop being so nice. And Tai, couldn't you, like, wait until the morning, when you will meet him at work?

[Morph Bark]

It's probably those kinds of boxers causing Dora's attraction, considering how everything in the QCverse is connected to butts.

[Coidzor]

Tai has no tact and very little actual respect for Marten. But we've already established this.

This was established by her being a member of Questionable Content's character cast.

[Ravens_cry]

Geeze, now Tai's having freakouts.
Well, must mash the Drama™ button even if breaks.

[Gez]

Geeze, now Tai's having freakouts.

This also was established by her being a Questionable Content cast member.

It's part of the contract or something. The Character will remain, at all time and in all circumstances: 1. disrespectful of Marten (even if they are themselves Marten), and 2. constantly angsting and freaking out about everything.

Anxiety Is a symptom of Butts disease

Anxiety Is a symptom of Butts disease

Nah. In the strip, Angus has Butts Disease, and he's totally chill, bro.

[Ravens_cry]

To be fair, if Dora grabbed my butt like that while kissing me good night, I'd probably be in a fairly intense state of freakoutisity,

[Coidzor]

Honestly I found the pose of that kiss to be kind of... awkward and painful looking. Admittedly, mostly for Dora.

[Eldan]

I mostly read this comic like some anthropological report on a tribe somewhere in the jungle with customs totally alien to me and all I believe in. This, I think, is a good example. Why are people freaking out here? I don't have the slightest idea. It all seems to be going really well for them, from what I can see. I can only wait and hope there is an explanation forthcoming, eldritch and terrifying in ways Eldan was not meant to knows though it may be.

[Somebloke]

Well, haven't all of her encounters to date consisted of polyamorous casual flings? And this is a real monogomous relationship. With someone she's really into (read: is falling for pretty hard). Who is a friend, and an ex of a close friend.

If she gives herself to this, there's a lot to lose when it goes to hell.

I don't think it really counts as polyamorous if it's a string of one-night stands and casual flings. I think there might have been one poly relationship in her past, but I'm a bit muddled as I dislike Tai as a character and her role in the story so far.

Marten doesn't have a spine, so there's no real risk of losing anything in regards to him save via him being moved by someone else.

My God, I'm agreeing with Yelling Bird, my life is over.

[Shadow of the Sun]

I don't like politics in non-political comics. Not saying that I disagree, just that I find Jeph's random political interlude obnoxious.

[The Glyphstone]

Do you enjoy/listen to Yelling Bird when he's not being political?

[Shadow of the Sun]

Not particularly.

[memnarch]

Isn't that what Yelling bird is supposed to be though? Something obnoxious that you don't want to listen to?

[Shadow of the Sun]

If your "sorry I can't do a strip today" gimmick makes me want to stop reading your comic out of hatred of it, you're doing something wrong.

I'll agree with the beginning but I don't think Jeph was all serious there... otherwise I don't think he'd just thrown out common insults but rather tried to make some point with it... unless he is much more... well, what's the right word... much more serious about politics than I'd imagined him being.

But... I kind of feel the joke fell flat. Still, one shouldn't be so touchy just because he disagrees with him. (Well, not disagree... he wouldn't use this character to present his personal opinion)

[SlyGuyMcFly]

My God, I'm agreeing with Yelling Bird, my life is over.

I think that's the point

[Morph Bark]

If your "sorry I can't do a strip today" gimmick makes me a significant amount of people want to stop reading your comic out of hatred of it, you're doing something wrong.

FTFY. At this point in QC's run, I kind of doubt your absence would be noticed.

[Coidzor]

^: You... you sure you don't want to go with a better rebuttal than that?

That seems uncomfortably close to basically admitting that the comics fanbase doesn't care about the flaws because they're all sycophantic to some degree and so it's not worth discussing or for the bloody guy who makes it to ever consider.

Do you enjoy/listen to Yelling Bird when he's not being political?

Not usually. Sometimes I'll skim to see if Jeph got his leg torn off and eaten by a Siberian prostitute(see: Bear) or something or if he's just got the flu.

We are discussing Yelling Bird, the two events are hardly mutually exclusive.

[stsasser]

My God, I'm agreeing with Yelling Bird, my life is over.

Comrade Yelling Bird is the best character on QC!

I'm sorry, I'm not quite sure I'm following you.

I guess it's time to check out QC for the day then.
