Make It Clap

From a different angle, perhaps Emmett is showing signs of a superpower

Mad Marie

The difference being that I care about Jeph's characters. As part of a reading group I started reading Anna Karenina and once the cast got to about 3 degrees of separation from the main cast, I started thinking "Who are all these idiots?" Having finished the first part, the group unanimously decided to give up on the second one.

Ouch

Ursus Ridens

Jeph: "If Tolstoy could do it in a fictional Russia, I can do it in a fictional Northampton. QC will be remembered for centuries as a sweeping epic of romance, robots, and butts."

Ursus Ridens

Faye's superpower. One of Faye's superpowers?

Ruth Merriam

What do you think, is Jeph up to enough characters to populate 8 or 9 separate strips?

Mark

Reading this week's strip in succession, the way that Emmett is slowly emerging from the hoodie like a butterfly from a chrysalis is an amazing, understated piece of comics art.

Stephen Wells

You can't keep doing this. You can't keep making new favorite characters for me. It can't be healthy.

Spank off , spank o... oh um. nevermind.

JourneymanWizard

YB, calm down. The title is “make it clap” not “give it clap”.

Mad Marie

Clap on, clap off... the Clapper!

Winning comment (in my book) of the day

Lyman Green

Once I encountered a friend's teenage daughter who I had been told had a couple of impressive achievements under her belt. I said "I hear congratulations are in order", which she somehow interpreted to mean that I was expecting HER to congratulate ME.

Mark

After he makes snake shirts please

Miyaa

File under the same heading as when she got together with Bubbles and was wondering "Wait, have I _always_ been bi?"

Stephen Wells

I like how Emmett misinterpreted Faye's implied wink in panel 2 as a misunderstanding. That is extremely a 14 year old response. QC is so well-written, gosh.

Pejo

LORD OF FROGS!

Bagge

😂😅🤣😹

Carrie

I love how Sam returned with the same amount of drama as she went to the bathroom

Bagge

i like to imagine op actively closed this page and then their brain processed that information and they rushed back here to comment.

Absentia

I didn't put it together until I reread the last strip

Fart Captor

What nobody has mentioned yet is that Faye has excellent skills with the distraction. Whatever possible thoughts of suspicion Sam might have had while coming back have now been completely obliterated and forgotten by thoughts of butt mechanisms, and also Emmet has plenty of time to pull themselves together before Sam will be taking any notice of them. Well done Faye!

Brooks Moses

Lol, I love the 4 minute pause between the two comments

Dimitar Bounov

She's a chaotic _GREAT_ child minder.

Andrew Mitchell

WAIT, DID FAYE REMEMBER A CHILDHOOD GIRL CRUSH??

Fart Captor

Awwww, Emmett you sweet adorable queer babby 🥺

Fart Captor

compared to #4691 Faye looks downright corseted in this one o_o

Logan Nix

Ah… Faye is good with teens without being weird.

Sparky

Cheeky!

Mad Marie

Everybody seems to have missed the single most important feature of the past three strips. WE NEED JEPH TO MAKE BITEY (the snake) SHIRTS AND HOODIES! Edited for clarity.

Joseph Bonnar

so what?

HaHaHa!

Faye's waist is getting smaller. At least in this strip.

Paul Britt

Whoo-hooo for robot butts

W H Sparkman

On the contrary, there is at least one butt. Probably several.

Jaron Mortimer

Faye IS a chaotic good babysitter. Thats how she bonded with Sam in the first place isnt it?

Chris Magnelli

Bro all that robutt work is doing some absolutely stellar things for Faye's figure. Them things look stupid large.

Jaron Mortimer

Faye continues to be a treasure.

Hugh Eckert

It's a stereotype. We say about the same as everybody else.

Darth Hypno

is "aboat" how they say it in Canada? I assumed it was a typo the first time, but you used it twice. Along with the other way you've written Emmett's text, I assume so.

Kyle Stephens

okay, Emmett absolutley has a crush on Sam and it's adorable. i hearby dub this ship the SS Sammett

Absentia

Nice job, Faye!

Todd Ellner

'Would be' a chaotic good babysitter? The whole reason she knows Sam was because she taught her how to sharpen knives while her dad was on a date

Sally Fields

There's an app for that: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3117

Captain Button

It will never stop being funny how we went from "Marten Reed, Professional Indie Ogler" to "Fay and her gay robo bae running the robutt repair bay"

Gamera

That's because she was Emmett when she was a teen!

Grace Kieser

The joy of clenching cheeks.

AJ Saint

Emmett might be my new fave. They remind me a lot of a student I had last year, though they were 10. Same energy though.

Jenea Ylinen Fredrickson

Emmett's a good kid. no ifs, ands or butts.

Peter McDevitt

ALSO, THAT'S NOT A ROBOT BUTT! THAT'S AN ENTIRE ROBOT CROTCH, WHICH IS AT LEAST TWICE AS AWESOME!

Yelling Bird

This has been so wonderfully wholesome. Will Sam introduce emmet to froglord?

Tannerbot

Yonatan Zunger

Emmett is great

Kyle Jenkins

no spraying in the robot butts!

Sleepy John

Mean Twerks Before Failure

Greg Matyola

You don’t even have a butt you can clench, Bird!

Miyaa

I too had a friend I would follow anywhere, I wish I still did.

Orion Rhine

Does. It have. Sound. Effects.

Andrew

Now I'm imagining there's a company whose only product is the solenoids that are used to make robot butts clench. . o O (Clenchenoid, Inc.)

Zig Justice

THIS IS INFORMATION I MUST POSSESS!

Yelling Bird

That Emmett face has killed me and resurrected me.

Errol Lobo

amazing

Spacey02111

Omg. Emmett’s face in the last frame.

David F

The great butt clench conspiracy of 2022!

Michael Boettger

At least Faye understands. That’s good.
