jephjacques - Long Goodbyes

Leaving my initial comment unedited as a testament to my wrongness. Also it's giving "Holy Roman Empire" SNL vibes 👍

Not only is it not strictly an American holiday, but it's also not even a banking holiday. It's considered a federal holiday, but the stock market was open. TIL

The promise is fulfilled!

Stephen Wells

I see I wasn’t the only one surprised by this. 🥰

legobil

2024-11-11 08:55:37 +0000 UTC

No comic today…? 😯 I hope everything is alright with Jeph.

legobil

2024-11-11 08:53:56 +0000 UTC

Or he's REALLY drawing the whole cast doing the "Turn Down For What" video... that's gonna take a while... D:

Leak

2024-11-11 08:52:17 +0000 UTC

Jeph has a recent (5 hours old) post on Blusky. I'm guessing he may just have forgotten today's post. It happens, but very rarely.

Joseph Bonnar

2024-11-11 07:59:00 +0000 UTC

He might be taking the day off for Remembrance Day in Canada. Did he take Labour Day off?

Graydon Armstrong

2024-11-11 07:51:06 +0000 UTC

It’s not just an American holiday. November 11th was specifically chosen because it was the day the Armistace for WW1 was signed. In the Commonwealth it’s mostly known as Remembrance Day.

Heather King

2024-11-11 06:39:09 +0000 UTC

Be the pride parade you wish to see in the world

Bagge

2024-11-11 06:10:16 +0000 UTC

Same

Onyx

2024-11-11 05:59:07 +0000 UTC

Yeah I was wondering too. I hope Jeph is doing okay

Cancertopia

2024-11-11 05:49:57 +0000 UTC

No post tonight? I wondered if I had my days confused. I doubt the QC release schedule observes American banking holidays. 😅

Pejo

2024-11-11 05:09:42 +0000 UTC

Based on the last encounter I feel like Sven kept him safely out of eyeshot and earshot during fun times. Gotta protect your dino buddy's innocence.

Eric Lusby

2024-11-11 01:55:00 +0000 UTC

Slender Man really jumped the shark when they introduced his teenage sidekick, Slender Lad.

Diptych

2024-11-11 01:43:26 +0000 UTC

I thought they were the same thing.

Miyaa

2024-11-10 21:37:16 +0000 UTC

The patrons have certainly been found wanting.

Clifton Royston

2024-11-10 20:01:59 +0000 UTC

Write, right, you're bloody well right. You gotta bloody write, to say.

Clifton Royston

You really don't have to try that hard!

alphanor

2024-11-10 18:21:21 +0000 UTC

Any hookup can be illicit if you try hard enough.

Yonatan Zunger

2024-11-10 18:03:41 +0000 UTC

He’s got a Rosebud named Richard?

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

2024-11-10 17:22:05 +0000 UTC

Good one.

alphanor

2024-11-10 16:52:28 +0000 UTC

Mayyybe, but probably not.

alphanor

2024-11-10 16:51:44 +0000 UTC

Anh is leaving. Unless she and Sven hook-up later and somehow end up in his old bedroom, I don't think she will have the opportunity to quiz Richard.

alphanor

2024-11-10 16:45:46 +0000 UTC

But I love Jeph's imagination!

alphanor

2024-11-10 16:34:41 +0000 UTC

joFinndian

2024-11-10 16:29:39 +0000 UTC

THE DINOSAUR. I totally forgot lmao

Richard Lindquist

2024-11-10 15:54:55 +0000 UTC

“Careless Whispers” starts playing for Richard.

Miyaa

2024-11-10 15:50:41 +0000 UTC

In that case, we should just imagine everything that happens in the comic from now on! Jeph can retire :D

enchantedsleeper

2024-11-10 15:47:02 +0000 UTC

I'll let Jeph correct me, but the shape of her nose and chin are virtually identical to Tai - guessing Cleo is her sister.

Joe

2024-11-10 15:45:41 +0000 UTC

But imagination is everything.

enchantedsleeper

2024-11-10 15:41:17 +0000 UTC

stage name or porn name??

Joe

2024-11-10 14:47:42 +0000 UTC

@bookbeard: Crushed and broken?

allanfranta

2024-11-10 14:45:29 +0000 UTC

Late night (or early morning) eggs, bacon, greasy potatoes and Orange juice or coffee and toast are the best hangover remedies. There are no cures.

allanfranta

2024-11-10 14:42:06 +0000 UTC

Veronica is in the first panel with Tai's parents; I presume at that point that she has at least talked to them.

alphanor

2024-11-10 14:30:32 +0000 UTC

This is gonna turn into a reenactment of the "Turn Down For What" music video starring the whole QC cast, isn't it?

Leak

2024-11-10 14:13:50 +0000 UTC

I'm assuming she knows about Richard and will not allow him to be destroyed. Her manners aren't much better than that but they are better than that

Michael Phillips

2024-11-10 13:05:16 +0000 UTC

As he's currently a small static construct, that wouldn't be difficult.

Philip Masters

2024-11-10 12:58:29 +0000 UTC

He's Lego he can be put back together. Might be a little harder if they lost the instructions, but I'm sure they could find a copy on the Internet somewhere.

Opus the Poet

2024-11-10 12:57:28 +0000 UTC

I get the impression that Anh is somewhat adventurous and a little bit narcissistic. She'll probably spend a lot of time thinking and talking about this revelation, because it's all about her; whether she ever acts on it would be another matter. (I mean, we don't know for sure whether she really is bi, or whether she's just confused envy and admiration for desire, or maybe Hanners would be her only female object of interest.) Personally, I'm holding on to the hopes that she ends up being Pintsize's new human companion. They'd be a great couple. Chaos squared.

Philip Masters

2024-11-10 12:56:30 +0000 UTC

The idea of Lego selling AI modules in the setting has a certain charm. I mean, I don't know how many AIs would volunteer to inhabit them, but I get the impression that some would.

Philip Masters

2024-11-10 12:50:55 +0000 UTC

Beds can be replaced. The trauma for Richard may be harder to fix. I mean, he may go completely to pieces.

Philip Masters

2024-11-10 12:49:18 +0000 UTC

Fairly certain that it won't https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3765

Mark

2024-11-10 10:53:55 +0000 UTC

Why would I be jealous of that Nanoblock knock-off watching Faye and Bubbles in all their glory... 😲🤯😭

David Paul

2024-11-10 09:24:09 +0000 UTC

That we know of...

enchantedsleeper

2024-11-10 08:53:54 +0000 UTC

That's Faye! C'mon now. (Joking xD)

enchantedsleeper

2024-11-10 08:53:34 +0000 UTC

I think she's gleeful xD

enchantedsleeper

2024-11-10 08:52:43 +0000 UTC

Aw, it's over already? And we never did see Veronica meeting Dora's parents - or Tai's...

enchantedsleeper

2024-11-10 08:50:43 +0000 UTC

I'm not sure the bed will survive Bubbles

Salodni Ikkis

2024-11-10 08:21:43 +0000 UTC

damn... did I call it? ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

They got off on Dick!

Lucky guy.

Graydon Armstrong

2024-11-10 05:51:42 +0000 UTC

Or blindfolded? But I don't think she's a switch.

Graydon Armstrong

William Cole

2024-11-10 05:13:36 +0000 UTC

Dora established that Richard was made of Lego, but this is the QCverse so I suppose it could still be sentient... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5411

BookBeard

2024-11-10 05:11:58 +0000 UTC

Could Mr. Stallion and his wife use Sven's bedroom? They're married, and it's for illicit hookups.

ValdVin

2024-11-10 05:10:13 +0000 UTC

Sven is only a slender lad.

Dean Reilly

2024-11-10 05:04:15 +0000 UTC

Assuming she remembers all of this tomorrow...

Dean Reilly

2024-11-10 05:02:46 +0000 UTC

Automotive leaf springs are easy to make into swords. You just need to use a ball peen hammer on the back side of the spring to de-arch it. Then hammer the edge to thin it down and shape the tip. I'm simplifying of course, but that's about the size of it.

Opus the Poet

2024-11-10 04:57:22 +0000 UTC

Did we determine if Richard was just a toy Dino or some kind of AI?

Aerin Moriarty

2024-11-10 04:54:42 +0000 UTC

Only in videos 🤣

Green

2024-11-10 04:49:31 +0000 UTC

Richard's mind is about to be blown.

Opus the Poet

2024-11-10 04:43:14 +0000 UTC

Anyone else kind of jealous of Richard at this point?

Anthony Gaglianese

2024-11-10 04:42:23 +0000 UTC

The thought of Faye & Bubbles destroying Sven's bed seems yo have instantly cheered up Tai.

William Cole

2024-11-10 04:29:16 +0000 UTC

Sven is looking straight up in the last panel, so perhaps they should move to another room?

alphanor

2024-11-10 04:27:05 +0000 UTC

Maybe, but he DEFINITELY hasn't seen what's happening now.

William Cole

2024-11-10 04:25:05 +0000 UTC

It died as it lived.

BookBeard

2024-11-10 04:21:00 +0000 UTC

Am I the only one who feel stolen of a loud comedic crack as the structural integrity of Sven’s bed and/or poor Richard gives way?

legobil

2024-11-10 04:20:41 +0000 UTC

Schroedinger's hookups! All liaisons in Sven's room are simultaneously licit & illicit!

William Cole

2024-11-10 04:20:35 +0000 UTC

Who's full throating what now?

Drazi

2024-11-10 04:19:38 +0000 UTC

They can do both.

BookBeard

2024-11-10 04:19:28 +0000 UTC

True, but it certainly can alter one's acceptance of it. Hence Anh's assertion that she was going to "re-embalm" her newly realized feelings. But perhaps her chat with Faye was sufficient to break her out of that loop. Only time will tell.

BookBeard

2024-11-10 04:17:45 +0000 UTC

And if she is cereal compatible with Steve.

alphanor

2024-11-10 04:17:15 +0000 UTC

Well said!

alphanor

2024-11-10 04:13:19 +0000 UTC

Sven level reinforcements would not be up to Bubbles level requirements.

alphanor

2024-11-10 04:11:56 +0000 UTC

But it was where it was supposed to be because that's where Tai informed everyone that that was where any illicit hookups would be, ergo it's an illicit hookup.

alphanor

2024-11-10 04:09:09 +0000 UTC

I really, really want to see Anh's morning after, both to know how much of all this she remembers and how she reacts to it. Will she confront her new feels, or will she bury them deep, deep down where they won't surface again until the next time she's drunk? Personally, I'm betting on the latter but the former would be better story material.

JCfromNC

2024-11-10 04:00:53 +0000 UTC

And nothing makes a hangover worse than being dehydrated, which is what the alcohol is doing to your system. Peeing is a small price to pay for not waking up to a thumping headache.

JCfromNC

2024-11-10 03:59:11 +0000 UTC

@Am Queue, booze does not actually alter one's sexuality, fyi

Todd Ellner

2024-11-10 03:41:22 +0000 UTC

Somehow I doubt Richard hasn't already seen quite a lot during Sven's teenaged years...

Green

2024-11-10 03:37:32 +0000 UTC

Right.

Carl Fink

2024-11-10 03:36:34 +0000 UTC

I am betting tomorrow, we switch to Momo, May, and Iris participating in Willow’s yoga class.

Miyaa

2024-11-10 03:33:17 +0000 UTC

If that is the case, we need to know what is Cleo’s breakfast routine.

Miyaa

2024-11-10 03:29:57 +0000 UTC

It is PERFECT!

Shawn K. Younkin

2024-11-10 03:27:33 +0000 UTC

We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic dinosaur… Richard will be that dinosaur. We can make him better than he was before Better…Stronger…Faster!

Shawn K. Younkin

2024-11-10 03:27:18 +0000 UTC

Well, Cleo seems to be going home with Anh, but it's possible that Steve is going there, too. I can't tell.

Cue Veronica being blindsided...

Am Queue

It wasn't illicit, it was expressly where it was supposed to be!

Travis Young

2024-11-10 03:08:43 +0000 UTC

We'll see if it lasts past the hangover.

Am Queue

2024-11-10 03:07:34 +0000 UTC

I’m sure Anh will quiz Richard later.

To make into swords?

Captain Button

He misbehaved in some other room, and nobody has discovered it yet.

Sean Kinlin

2024-11-10 03:02:21 +0000 UTC

Put it in his Almanack.

Sean Kinlin

2024-11-10 03:01:29 +0000 UTC

Cleo first appeared as one of the bridesmaids, although we didn't know her name at that point. She and Tai seem to be old friends.

Clifton Royston

2024-11-10 02:52:34 +0000 UTC

Is Steve going home with Cleo? 👀

Erica Koch-Johnston

2024-11-10 02:51:41 +0000 UTC

Richard! Avert your eyes!

Matthew Van Gangelen

2024-11-10 02:49:46 +0000 UTC

If you "right" the almanack, you correct it; there are things in QC’s universe that Benjamin Franklin never thought of in his wildest dreams, so yes, “Poor Richard’s Almanack" would need a LOT of "righting". But maybe Todd just got betrayed by voice-to-text and meant write and I should just go to sleep.

Claudia D.

2024-11-10 02:45:04 +0000 UTC

Yup, and as I said a few pages ago, I’m sure Faye will recommend a good replacement bed for Sven’s childhood ego.

Miyaa

2024-11-10 02:44:52 +0000 UTC

Why wouldn’t Sven have already had that bed duly reinforced?!?

Melissa Wilson

2024-11-10 02:44:11 +0000 UTC

Right.

Faye will take it upon herself to rebuild Richard. By the time she's done he'll be 12 feet tall and poop industrial quantities of espresso.

BookBeard

2024-11-10 02:41:00 +0000 UTC

Yes, she must drink a lot of water, because nothing improves a hangover like a desperate need to pee.

A few days later a shipping container arrives on Anh's front lawn containing $80,000 worth of pride flags. She has no memory of ordering them.

BookBeard

2024-11-10 02:39:46 +0000 UTC

Full-throated denial has flipped over to full-throated acceptance. Good for her!

alphanor

2024-11-10 02:34:45 +0000 UTC

I really like the bemused facial expression Tai has in the last panel. She is appreciating the situation!

alphanor

2024-11-10 02:34:19 +0000 UTC

But this is Sven's presumably 'normal' non-reinforced bed.

alphanor

2024-11-10 02:31:58 +0000 UTC

Indeed!

Carrie

2024-11-10 02:30:49 +0000 UTC

The magenta haired woman is Cleo, introduced earlier when she and Steve were also making use of Sven's bed for an illicit hookup.

2024-11-10 02:30:14 +0000 UTC

You could right a whole almanack about the things poor Richard saw tonight

Didnt Bubbles do a major structural upgrade to their bed when she first moved in.

Michael Boettger

2024-11-10 02:21:56 +0000 UTC

Which room is underneath? That area should be avoided in case of structural failure.

“Careless Whispers” starts playing for Richard.

In that case, we should just imagine everything that happens in the comic from now on! Jeph can retire :D

I'll let Jeph correct me, but the shape of her nose and chin are virtually identical to Tai - guessing Cleo is her sister.

But imagination is everything.

*HIP SLAM*

But we didn't see it xD

stage name or porn name??

@bookbeard: Crushed and broken?

Late night (or early morning) eggs, bacon, greasy potatoes and Orange juice or coffee and toast are the best hangover remedies. There are no cures.

Veronica is in the first panel with Tai's parents; I presume at that point that she has at least talked to them.

This is gonna turn into a reenactment of the "Turn Down For What" music video starring the whole QC cast, isn't it?

I'm assuming she knows about Richard and will not allow him to be destroyed. Her manners aren't much better than that but they are better than that

As he's currently a small static construct, that wouldn't be difficult.

He's Lego he can be put back together. Might be a little harder if they lost the instructions, but I'm sure they could find a copy on the Internet somewhere.

The idea of Lego selling AI modules in the setting has a certain charm. I mean, I don't know how many AIs would volunteer to inhabit them, but I get the impression that some would.

Beds can be replaced. The trauma for Richard may be harder to fix. I mean, he may go completely to pieces.

Fairly certain that it won't https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3765

Why would I be jealous of that Nanoblock knock-off watching Faye and Bubbles in all their glory... 😲🤯😭

That we know of...

That's Faye! C'mon now. (Joking xD)

I think she's gleeful xD

Aw, it's over already? And we never did see Veronica meeting Dora's parents - or Tai's...

I'm not sure the bed will survive Bubbles

damn... did I call it? ~<3

They got off on Dick!

Lucky guy.

Or blindfolded? But I don't think she's a switch.

“Get off to” *snerk*

Would that make him a T. Sex?

WRONG!

🙋‍♂️

Dora established that Richard was made of Lego, but this is the QCverse so I suppose it could still be sentient... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5411

Could Mr. Stallion and his wife use Sven's bedroom? They're married, and it's for illicit hookups.

Sven is only a slender lad.

Assuming she remembers all of this tomorrow...

Automotive leaf springs are easy to make into swords. You just need to use a ball peen hammer on the back side of the spring to de-arch it. Then hammer the edge to thin it down and shape the tip. I'm simplifying of course, but that's about the size of it.

Did we determine if Richard was just a toy Dino or some kind of AI?

Only in videos 🤣

Richard's mind is about to be blown.

Anyone else kind of jealous of Richard at this point?

The thought of Faye & Bubbles destroying Sven's bed seems yo have instantly cheered up Tai.

Sven is looking straight up in the last panel, so perhaps they should move to another room?

Maybe, but he DEFINITELY hasn't seen what's happening now.

It died as it lived.

Am I the only one who feel stolen of a loud comedic *crack* as the structural integrity of Sven’s bed and/or poor Richard gives way?

Schroedinger's hookups! All liaisons in Sven's room are simultaneously licit & illicit!

Who's full throating what now?

They can do both.

True, but it certainly can alter one's acceptance of it. Hence Anh's assertion that she was going to "re-embalm" her newly realized feelings. But perhaps her chat with Faye was sufficient to break her out of that loop. Only time will tell.

And if she is cereal compatible with Steve.

HIP SLAM
