"Ask me how I know." Oh, Faye. Love you.

Will May be able to cry when she sees the outpouring?

When you pallette-swap a character it makes them more powerful.

I complained bitterly several months back, when Dora basically became unrecognizable! If evolution continues along these lines then pretty soon they will all have to have name tags, like May... (Resistance is FUTILE!)

Partly it’s that Sven is a physically kinda big dude. When you see him beside Hanners in that first panel, recall that he used to be drawn as close to a head taller than her, notably broader through the shoulders? Not, like, ripped and burly, but definitely lanky, noticeably among the taller characters in the comic. Now...he really, honestly looks like Marten with brown hair, except even younger. It’s the most startling change in design of a character that I’ve ever seen in QC, which I’ve been reading for, jeeps, more than ten years?

Jim Lee

so who should model for sven-I nominate a young James Taylor!

jimbo

Didn’t Sven used to wear glasses? That would help.

M Cohen

See, that's the thing. She doesn't have all these friends - but she does have a couple of very close friends who DO have all these friends. It's all in working your extended network.

Alex Borders

So, no. In the past, even taking into account the evolving art style, several characters had chins that were more squared off, with a shallower jawline slope that other characters in the same strip. I don’t dislike the fact that in many newer strips all characters seem to have the slender jawlines and pointy chins. Just an observation of evolution! Not a criticism. Keep up the good work!

Did everyone always have the same chin? Researching...

I dunno, this seems to be one if these subjects where it’s a matter of “when”, not “if”.

Comics Ladybird

Perhaps if you put Sven back in glasses...

Mostly it's an interpersonal communications course, with a seminar on making budgets.

Bryce Maryott

missing the word 'IF' she wants any advice on butt implants

Jere

Sven's features were usually more angular than Marten's too.

Mark

We’re apart of this Patreon club. Who says we aren’t already donating?

Miyaa

I read marital arts and now I wonder what that would look like.

Armin von Werner

What doyou mean I cannot donate to a fictional cause? This is outrageous

Tachpmg

Give her all the implant. No too late for that multitool idea

Bagge

Damn, at this point I want to give to May! ;-)

Chris Waldrip

Panel 5: "And she" should probably be "And if she"

Cody Renton

looks like good ole weed in a detective pipe to me

zing zang zoom

Is Tai doing crack??

Brian Leahy

Yeah give her the ass implants

A sheep

She may be a fighter jet yet.

Bagge

"Your ass will be an inspiration to the whole company. You'll go into battle on stilts so everyone can see it!"

Valraven

When Roko was suffering from a particularly severe instance of body dysphoria, Yay put her into sleep mode. More than likely someone will extend the same courtesy to May.

Michael Boettger

Ooh, now I feel really bad for making the "Martinize" joke. Sorry! Not to mention that everybody just thought I didn't know the spelling of "Marten." You'll have to look up "Martinize" (or maybe ask your grandparents).

who is this sven imposter?

Yeah, I hear they have a deal for Wendy's themed robo-part covers

Cleo Schmitz

Probably wouldn't surprise her - she knows that she and Marten look a like.

Shawn K. Younkin

Would be funny to see Dora's reaction to people saying her brother and Marten looking alike.

trenomata

Yea new Sven is terrible. Without the dialog I have no idea who he is.

Much heart warming! One worries though...if May's body is such a wreck, what about her memory core? Roko had extra reinforcement because she was a cop, which suggests that the level of protection an embodied AI is provided with varies. Is there a mandatory minimum level of durability and shielding provided so that even someone like May can reliably expect not to experience physical damage to the ol' processor in the course of normal wear and tear? Put differently, if she's subjected to severe feels overload because of unexpected generosity and kindness, is it possible for her to actually suffer injury from it?

Mahlernut

I'm crying noooooowwwwww ;_; but it's good crying

Grier Conley

Remember, optimists can never be pleasantly surprised.

Sleepy John

Warm fuzzies!

Or a roomba with a jet engine strapped on. There may be a couple of those flying around here already.

SilverbackRon

I didn't notice that until you said so.

SilverbackRon

Yaknow, with the technology available in the QC world, May could get a reasonably priced body, maybe even an slightly older model that is anatomically correct, and then if there is enough left over she could get an RC fighter jet that she could upload into and be able to fly fast.

FuzzyDragon Cosplay

"ask me how I know". seriously. PLEASE ask me!!!!

Joe

Does this mean it took Sven three tries to get it into May’s left ear?

Simon Green

Is anyone going to ask Yay to contribute? I mean, they already know, but i bet they would appreciate being asked

Thomas Halpin

I believe that was the purpose of the recent picture of Marigold.

Bill O'Connor

How does this make me cry? I don't know, but thanks.

cookiecryptid

It's a shame that Dora and Tai aren't having their bachelorette party in Montreal. Pintsize probably knows all the good strip clubs...

Dean Reilly

I'm gonna cry at the end of this arc, aren't I?

Tyler

aaaaaa this just reminds me of all my friends who've donated money to me when i've been in need and now i'm crying ;o;

emmavoid

I have bad vision. I had to squint to realize Tai is lighting a pipe.

Carl Fink

Neck meats. NECK MEATS!

BobC

Yeah, I thought Sven was really tall. He looks too short here, and I thought he was Marten at first.

Pete Hanson

I have, on a couple of occasions, had cause to ask for charity from friends and loved ones and... I have a sense of how this is going to hit May. Seeing how much people are willing to help you if you're in genuine need and just ask can be utterly mind-blowing in a very good way.

Reyn Goldfur

I think Sven just needs a different, distinct way to style his hair. Probably in an annoying hot way

David Rogers

Sven/Marten problem is easily solved: just draw Sven in more explicitly weird carnal festivities with May, and we'll know that he's definitely not Marten. ...unless May's new body will be a dorky-looking red-headed floofy librarian type (really nice model going on sale, perhaps?).

Evgeniy Semyonov

Jeph...you know you're going to make a 35 year old man ugly-cry with this storyline right?

In comic #5491 it turns out that they're all from the same family. I can't wait!

Andrew Mitchell

Sven should have an air of casual confidence about him. "I know I'm good and I don't even try"

Nicholas A Wagner

Marten and Dora look like twins, so why shouldn't Sven look like Marten as well?

awgiedawgie

This is going to break May in the best way, and I honestly can't wait to see it. As well as wanting to see what she will have as a body once she's migrated over.

Anthony Gaglianese

Isn't Sven supposed to be kinda tall and willowy and gorgeous? Maybe try sketching Orlando Bloom at the corresponding age?

Auros Harman

I need more Jimbo.

Bailey Tighe

friends :3

Tamara Macadam

I could see Penelope & Will contribute. I’m not sure if Steve, Cosette, Raven, or Jimbo would have known May. Pizza Girl would donate after she learns of May’s plight from the Invisible Emu.

Miyaa

I use this for everything.

Chuck Dee

Millie just wants a world where everyone can have the ass they dream of. the best motivation.

Rat

No, Thank You.

Chris Heg

This is a great opportunity to see some folks we've not seen in ages. How are Penelope and Wil these days? Steve and Cosette, Raven and didn't Jimbo make a bunch of money selling trashy novels...?

David Durant

AHH SHE HAS ALL THESE FRIENDS I CANT WAIT FOR THE REACTION

I have a feeling that when May finds out it's gonna be like "HRNGH NICENESS OVERLOAD"

I'm wondering what her reaction will be when she sees how much money gets raised and the names of all those who gave. Her coolant pump will grow 3 sizes* Faye and Bubbles can handle that, right?

Michael Boettger

Yup. Really looking forward to her discovery that she is valued by her friends.

Kajsa Anderson

I usually pay someone that much to bust some of my ports.

Spoogle McGee

Now are we going to see May have a growth moment of "omg all this money I can get the fighterjet!" Then turn around and get a moderately cost body and set aside the extra for the nonprofit that Roko and Beeps work for?

James Cooper

Giving Sven his glasses back would help a lot with the sameface. “Sven! You're wearing glasses again!” “Yeah, I didn't like the contacts.”

Richard

Nothing is more badass then a fighter jet.

JD

Grammar be damned, we all know there's not gonna be any "if" about May wanting butt implants.

Rob Vary

She might get enough to be a fighter jet!

JD

This had me so emotional, this year must really be getting to me.

Anton

Awww. It's so nice seeing everyone care for May, despite her not thinking anyone would or does.

Justin Cox

I would be more concerned if Steve eating cereal will now look like a redhead Marten eating cereal.

Miyaa

god imagine Marten growing his hair out and then he looks like Sven and not the other way around

Agnes

Oh no I didn't realize that was sven until I read the description text

fusorx

"Ask me how I know." I think this is my new favorite way to tell someone you're fucking

Carin Maja Brooks

the left ear port is traditionally where the USB coffee warmer is plugged in

LH

ruh roh, typo! "And IF she wants"

Scout

Idk why this made me tear up. I'm such a cry baby.

So i didn't see sven as a brown haired marten.....until now. Now that it is pointed out I cannot unsee it.....looking back at older pages looks wierd too now....

Slashplane

You're welcome, Jeph!

Marlo Delfin Gonzales

She's going to have such a bad ass body!

Tara Cook

I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT CRYING OVER HER REACTION WHEN SHE SEES

Hope

Their community 😭

Heather Tennant

Ahahaha, for a moment judging from this title I thought Jeph was making a Patreon-exclusive post. "THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MONEY, FRIENDS"

TMN

She can get a cover for the new USB port in her ear to protect it for later

Max D S

Oh I'm so excited for this makeover
