It's A Fair Rule

AFAIK, Hanners’ Father can't do it yet. Spookybot would find it totally gross, but there's not a lot beyond their capability.

Don't know if someone asked but in this world can a human consciousness be loaded into an AI chassis?

Bubbles: “My sense of time is accurate to one part in 100 billion.” (takes harpoon gently from stunned Brun).

Matt Grayson

I love Brun so much right now.

Nicholas Lopez

Congrats! I’ve been a reader since the very early days, and it’s still something I look forward to every morning.

I think Brun feels like she can threaten Bubbles and get away with it, and doing so will cause her to back down regarding the use of the flare. If that's her thought, I believe she's probably right. If Brun thinks she could actually hurt Bubbles with the harpoon, I'm less confident in her correctness.

Some Ed

Bubs is talking about the harpoon.

Daryl Sawyer

please don't harpoon my girlfriend ...

Joe

Did Brun just catch a little bit of older-person shade there? Anyway congrats on the milestone; it's been an adventure and I'm glad for it.

Four thousand! That's as many as forty hundreds! And that's terrific!

prettydragoon

Mad love. Keep them coming. I'll read QC for as long as you keep on making them.

'grats on the big round number. It's been one heck of a ride over the years, and I'm looking forward to seeing where it goes next.

Peter Jensen

Man that's a lot of comics

Olivier Laroche

You're da best.

Kyle Rudy

Congratulations on so, so many great pages! Keep going!

Manuel Schumacher

Woo!

Kinda Squirrely

WOOOOO GRATZ! :D

Dane Filemyr

Here's to another 4,000! I honestly feel like these characters are my friends after hanging out with them for so long. It's amazing storytelling that's by turns real, deep, raw, goofy, charming, sad and always gorgeous and funny. Thank you, Jeph!

Holy crap, how have I been reading this for 4000 comics?! Congratulations Jeph, we love you!

Errol Lobo

An extraordinary body of work. Lovely storytelling with great characters.

Maurice Kessler

Congratulations on the milestone! I've just now finished another trip through the archives, and was struck by how much the strip has become deeper and more engaging just in the last 1000 or so, let alone the preceeding 3000. Here's to strip 10000!

Mark

Congrats Jeff! Can't believe I've been following this for 10 years, but I'll definitely be here for the next 10! 😊

capnsoapy

Here's to another 4000 butt jokes!

Thomas Boys

This has been a real long time coming. You’ve come a long way from strip #1 and done some really amazing things along the way. It’s been a thrill following your work over these years. You got a *lot* to be proud of. 👏

Francis

Stop for a moment and think Jeph. Do you consider QC to be your child? If yes, and it's now 4000... Damn you're old.

Jekotia

Congratulations!

Jason Rock

Congratulations!

Dave

Thank you so much for everything throughout the years, I look forward to your comic everyday

Jeremy Sistrunk

Congrats Jeph, and I have enjoyed the fuck out of each one of them. You are doing a great job and I love your comic. Also loved Alice. Keep up the great work.

Jeffrey Anderson

Congratulations on The Big Four Kay! 🎉😃

quarridors

Congratulations! =D

Baltakatei

It sure is!

Lene

Congrats, Jeph!

Mad Marie

Claire is so adorable in panel one holy moly

Michael DK

That's a big fucking deal. Congrats Jeph.

Mike Rodgers

Just checked - Charles Schulz did 17,897 comics, albeit only 2,506 Sunday comics of the length of QC. Congrats on hitting a serious milestone - for better or worse, you are one of the grandmasters of the field and I for one thoroughly enough following your work.

Randall Smith

Her harpbrun, you mean.

Ralf Paul

I have some catching up/laughing to do then ! That harpoon is a great gimmick :-) Nearly every morning these comics make me giggle and often think. Thank you !!!

I think that's a good rule given Brun's previous experience with fires.

Bagge

Congratulations on 4000 awesome strips, Jeph! Here's to 4000 more!

Everett Bradshaw

Dang! 4k strips!? Congrats, Jeph!

Grace Kieser

Woo congrats! And the cast of characters you have at 4000 is absolutely wonderful ❤️

Abhimat Gautam

Congratulations Jeph!

Vanestus

Congrats on 4000 Jeph!

Kyle Jenkins

Reader since 2005...I remember when I thought 1000 was a lot...

darklion

Whew... I was worried for a moment there. Good to see Brun has it all under control.

Andrew Mitchell

Bubbles' lesser known alter ego is L'll Miss Sparkly Cheeks...

Chris Gallaty

No incendiary devices especially considering what happened to last bar Brun worked at.

Colin

4000! Been reading since 2009 <3

Leona

Congratulations on 4,000!

Erin Hartshorn

Love the menu... Burgers "Nachos" Salad

John M Davis

Congrats! I’ve been reading your comic since high school, it’s so cool to see how your style and skills have grown over the years!

John Montgomery

Woo! 4k and counting!

Mordaeus

Congratulations on 4K comics! Wow!

Hugh Eckert

No. It's exactly 4000.

Ami

16th Anniversary on August 1.

kaitou

Congratulations on your 4000th comic! You're doing an amazing job, much love from Montréal <3

Mari San

llent...and it would put out the incendiary devices!

...public dunking? Exce

We need more crimes punishable my Public Shaming.

Buck Caldwell

And isn't your 15th Anniversary like August 13th or something??

Erin Moriarty

4k! wow! been a hell of a ride!

Matt

4000! Long time no Hanners, by the way...

Congrats on four thousand comics, Jeph!! Thanks for all the happiness you’ve brought us for so many years!!

Mandy Hoskins

His power, it's over 4000!

MikeT

Congratulations on the milestone! I’ve been reading since early days, and QC is still one of my all-time faves.

William Cole

Seem like more than 4K for me, as I often imagine comics for other characters not in the current arc. About 90% of which involve Yelling Bird. But still...

BobC

Gratz man!!! I have consistently enjoyed this comic. Thanks so much for doing it. <3

Shawn K. Younkin

We do...just...no one ever told you... :(

Shawn K. Younkin

Congrats on 4k! Does that mean higher resolution or something? :)

Chuck Dee

I highly doubt she is immune, but her combat training/programming would probably easily handle Brun.

Shawn K. Younkin

Way to go Jeph! Your characters have always had such life to them, and your art just keeps getting better and better. There's a reason you're one of the artists I throw money to, because you've earned it.

Ted Van Roekel

Congratulations on 4000! Thank you for all of them, they've been a source of comfort and joy for me throughout the years. 💜

Rosilin

I was 25 when this comic started. Where did the time go? And why don't we have all the cool stuff in this comic yet?

drone r0m-3

Is Bubbles immune to Harpoons in her current form? I would've assumed her armor would protect her from that sort of thing, but she hasn't worn it in quite some time.

Mitchell Sealy

Yay, Brun! Yay, 4000 comics. Yay, no bars were burned down in the making of this comic!

Czarzhan

I think it's just the owner who dresses that way, because he likes it. I don't think there's a dress code. Elliot's been keeping it pretty casual too.

Mitchell Sealy

I remember your first few of these. Congrats on 4K!

Ray Cornwall

4000!? Holy Crap!

Congrats on the milestone!

Stuart Telfer

HOLY 4-K BATMAN! Wow Jeph, you're incredible!

Michael Voorhis

Congrats! It's been a fantastic journey and a regular part of my life for the last few years. I hope you will do a couple more of them, there is still a lot I need to know about Faye!

Bernhard

Daaaaaang!

Nikki

I understood that reference.jpg

Samantha Yeaman

You are prolific and wonderful! Keep it up as long as you want, you Rockstar!

Thomas Halpin

Four thousand IS a lot of comics. Well done Jeph. The time flies. I was just thinking the other day that I've been reading this for practically a decade and doing the Patreon for five years; it feels like practically the blink of an eye. Also woe to Brun if she thinks she could manage to harpoon Bubbles. I'd be interested in the results.

Samantha Yeaman

I love this series 4000!

Terry Parry

Gratz on the 4000 comics Jeph!

Lord Crusade

Why is brun not following the fancy dress code

Ting

Sven not doing something stupid? Is that even possible?

Miyaa

And now we know that Brun still has her harpoon. YES!

Congrats on 4k! Here's to 4k more?

brun is master of all in the bar
