Scotty

Carrie

Ain’t love grand!!

Mike O'Dell

Sexy Marten ;)

Sexy Claire 😍

HRT can do impressive things there even if you start it later in life. Start it early enough and you're identical results to a cis person's puberty

Fart Captor

I love it! Also, Claire's got more hip game than I would've thought :O

Phoenix

I would totally subscribe :D

David Howe

If Claire and Marten got married I’d die happy

A+ Claireface. Love to see her punning

Pun-up.

Mad Marie

That last panel. <3

A Lys Lindheim

As wholesome as this comic is I'm just going to ask...Claire pin up?

Ben French

too many clothes.

Marty BlackEagle

Nash Wolfe

I'm sorry, I know it's basic, but I love Claire's freckles .

Abreon or Abrea

God I love these two.

Will Weaver

Gah, Claire is so CUTE! And her and Marten's dynamic is so fucking wholesome, I love it!

Daniel Blom Paulsen

Claire face!

Bruce Steinberg

Adorable. I'm so happy they have such a healthy relationship

Claire is definitely still my forever QC crush. Puns are one of the most attractive things. ❤️

TubaGinger

"and then they fucked", but unironically.

Stephen Wells

I feel her so much. For 13 years after I got my MALS I worked tangential library jobs in the private sector at two (now-defunct) companies before landing an actual library job. A little over a year later, something opened up at my alma mater that made use of my online searching skills, something that was still new in the 1970s. After 28 years of indexing/editing a periodical index, I retired from the dream job I never knew I dreamed about.

Daniel Drazen

I know one, but she's mine! All mine!!!1!eleventy!!

Todd Ellner

strategically placed

jimbo

Is that someone's knee, in panel 3 bottom right?

Michael Voorhis

Martin was never really the protagonist per say. Things would happen _to_ him and nearby him and he was an excuse for the "camera" to be there. Is there a name for that kind of character? I'm too scared to look at TV Tropes 'lest I lose another few hours...

David Durant

God, I love these two together.

Claire's face in the last panel is *chef's kiss*

Orion Rhine

as a polyamorous lover of puns, i approve.

Absentia

This is distilled serotonin. Pure, uncut, straight from the fucking source. I need more.

Mr. Ifrit

This is a worthy addition to the pun-iverse

Brianna Hinricher

god that's such a good post-pun face

dirtknight

I'm glad she's feeling better.

Bagge

these two are really adorable xD

Logan Nix

Pretty girl :)

Secret Cisco

Are the spaces between their faces in that last panel deliberately uncolored?

Morgan Bauman

I can't express enough how happy it makes me that Marten recognizes that Claire makes a much better protagonist than he does.

I can kinda relate to Marten on this - most of the best things in my life (jobs especially) have fallen into my lap rather than me going after them specifically.

Daniel S

Did you ever get into the archives before she was introduced? There's some GREAT stuff back there w/ other characters that don't have the focus these days (or straight up left their town/planet).

Pejo

Claire is best Claire. My girl saves the best puns for me, too. It is a supreme joy.

Thomas Halpin

FBSEALH! Not to be That Guy but I remembered the initialism was almost pronounceable & it bugged me that I couldn't remember what it was so I looked it up. 😅 (Got some interesting Google suggestions along the way.) Anyway I guess that WAS today, despite it being a whole-ass month ago IRL.

Pejo

Marten is more at peace with his nature, before his drifting style had suspicions of meaning maybe he wasn’t ambitious enough with some characters, and maybe himself.

Shane Wegner

CLAIREFACE!

Daniel Farnitano

ITYM 'Claire Platipun Club'

Frank Wales

That is an absolutely terrible pun and both Claire and Jeph deserve to be proud of it

Merle Blue

That's one tight t-shirt he's actually wearing, isn't it?

Carl Fink

Wait no but what is his job again?

jorgi

I love them so much. These two were the entire reason I started reading QC so long ago so to see them thrive gives me pure serotonin

For a moment I was like "Wait what was his job again?" Cause you know QC time is weird like that. Love that Claire face in the last panel.

Scott Vogel

CLAIREFACE!

Hugh Eckert

Oh my gosh these two are so cute.

Absentia

I love this one!

Chad Freeman

I *would* subscribe to that, yes.

Autographedcat

Nothing wrong with drifting as long as you’re happy :) and working in a coffee shop can be awesome if it has good vibes

Really. I would MARRY the first woman I met who could out-pun me. I'd be happy forever. In agony too, but happy nonetheless.

BobC

I love Claire so much 😢

Fart Captor

At first glace, I thought Marten was wearing some kind of strange suspender jumpsuit.

MikeT

I mean, have you met most of this fanbase? Pretty sure we would go for NSFW Crushbot pics and be happy.

Anthony Gaglianese

Ugh... her grin in the last panel feeds my soul.

Shawn K. Younkin

the best claireface

Joseph

I love her so so so so so much. And Marten. Because he is PERFECT for Claire. This is truly awesome. ❤️

Katrina Urmson

Claire had a terribly difficult horribly stressful day, from deciphering the needs of a FBMELH, to having her sense of self worth accidentally being called into question by her mother, to a mixed sense of relief and shame by the actions of friends, to a tenderly sweet tete-a-tete with her beloved. Sleep deeply and peacefully, dear Claire, and arise refreshed

Michael Boettger

OK I can't be the only one who wants racy Claire art now too, the shoulder freckles aren't helping 😶

Pejo

Thanks for leaving us with this one for the weekend, Jeph!

Mad Marie

fuck’s sake

David

That smile is pretty cute

Kyle Major

Help this is too sweet and cute

Fart Captor

I think that’s technically what yogurt is.

Mad Marie

As a trans woman, Claire's punniness is relatable

Carin Maja Brooks

Yes.

Mad Marie

Her smile... unsettles me. I like it.

Edward Clayton Andrews

You got this! Keep working towards that goal!

KingAtticus

Hey! I was gunna say that!

Vilinda

I love Claire and Marten as a couple. They both have their moments of self doubt and disagreement. But they both know how to be there for each other and just listen.

ERRORCODE616

/golfclap Bravo!

Matt Grayson

oh christ

Tamara Macadam

Deploy maximum Claireface!

Adam with two As, a D, and an M

I love these two so much.

Ted Van Roekel

OMG CLAIRE 😄

That smile at the end. Glad she's feeling better 🥰

Drazi

Love the expressions in the last panel :)

Phil Haddock

Claire yes

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

Claire is definitely goals body-wise. *sigh* just gotta get these last few pounds outta here. It's proving to be a monumental task no matter what I do :(

Trans4Life2021

I love Claire so much. And I love this wholesome two-of-them-in-bed-after-a-stressful-day-being-loving dynamic.

Yonatan Zunger

Claire yes.

Drazi

CLAIRE YES!

CLAIRE NO.

Jaron Mortimer

I read that as reproduction by pudding and was confused for a second
