Cosmography

Plus a lot of the characters are renting apartments--IDK about Northampton but where I live, pet-friendly buildings are hard to find.

Danya Michael

I was sad because this isn't a poster for sale on the topatoco site. I want it as a poster.

Kuragari

I see Jeph sold a poster to that shelter.

John Ridley

Veterinary guy is cute xD

Leugi

Arthro-PCs take the place of pets, to an extent. They are clearly not pets, but I think the people who have companion contracts would probably otherwise have pets.

Some Ed

Compared to the people I know, it's remarkable how few pets there are among the QC crowd. Penelope? Meena? Sara? Surely someone else has to have a pet. Are there are more pets than Mieville and Princess?

Elf Sternberg

Two, actually. The Rocket Roomba casualty and Anthony Jones.

Matt Grayson

And Pintsize had a pigeon. For a while.

Danya Michael

she has a small pouch embedded in her waistband for easy, on-demand access, just for such situations.

Joe

Spooky -Bot has greyhounds. And we can't forget that Bubbles cares for plant named Arthur. :)

Shawn K. Younkin

This is my headcanon as well.

Dev

Good point! I just wanted to see how we got there.

kwixote

I was going to say that this would be the first time a QC character had a pet, but then remembered <a href="http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Mieville" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Mieville</a>, and had completely forgotten that Sven has <a href="http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Princess" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">a cat</a> too. First dog though.

Mark

I love Shelby on the poster ❤️

Abhimat Gautam

This <i><b>is</b></i> Dora adulting. Claire - and particularly her Mom - would have just kept the dog.

awgiedawgie

They've always looked very alike, to the point where it has been remarked numerous times in the comic. Don't have time to look up the strip numbers now, but there was at least the time they did the zombie/assimilation bit, and the time when Veronica wasn't *completely* sure there wasn't a possibility of them being related.

Peter Jensen

Definitely a good archive fetch, the kind I'm also fond of doing.

Peter Jensen

I actually thought that was Martin the first time through.

Chris Heg

I'll be honest, I thought Dora *was* Martin until the last panel.

Valraven

I, for one; commend you on your recollection skills!

Shawn K. Younkin

It’s remarkable how Martin-ish Dora is in this one! Hoodie (maybe Martin’s?), passive, confused...

Yeah, yeah. I was just showing off that I remembered a previous hound breeder reference. Jeph can do whatever the hell he wants here, and i hope he does.

Matt Grayson

I'd consider it unlikely, solely because it is apparently not chipped. Someone who breeds champion dogs for a living will definitely have all dogs chipped as soon as possible. It's possible the chip has failed somehow, but I'm not sure how likely that is.

Peter Jensen

Remember Claire <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1716" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1716</a> who raised champion wolfhounds? Maybe it's one of HERS!

Matt Grayson

Martin senses all the ways this could go wrong if he were there. Smart boy!

Matt Grayson

Probably not, I don't see Claire or her mom sitting still while THE FATE OF THE COSMO HANGS IN THE BALANCE!!

Shawn K. Younkin

He sells it as a shirt in the QC store, if you did not know already. :)

Shawn K. Younkin

I'm honestly surprised Dora came alone and that Marten didn't tag along. It would have been such a cute relationship moment if the two exes came to pick up their stoned current SOs

Bagge

I thought borzoi was just another cute term for dog, like pointy boi.

ruined

Or... owner is Claire's Dad. Mom kills him, keeps dog, happy ending!

Matt Grayson

I’m going for “Owner is younger single guy who shows up on last day. He and Ms. Augustus have a fight to the death that morphs into a meet-cute.” Second choice “Owner shows up, sees Claire’s mom, shouts “Angelica!” (Or whatever her name is). They dated in high school. Romance rekindles. Jeph, please ignore me.

Matt Grayson

I like to hope Claire carries confetti around with her at all times

JD

I feel like Jeph left a scene out here. I was looking forward to Dora showing up and adulting.

kwixote

Jeez, Dora, couldn't you and Tai have convinced Claire and her mom to sleep it off before doing this?

Czarzhan

new qc on a saturday?

Anime Omelette

Confeto?

Holly Nelson

Confetti is the plural. Anyone care to guess the singular? Without asking Google, of course.

BobC

I would like the Good Dog poster from the background please

Lucy

It's not your eyes, I thought so too for a moment.

Robert Ragona

Do I have weird eyes this morning or did anyone else briefly think it was Marten and not Dora accompanying them?

Ralf Paul

And there are going to be thousands that will be available, in the next year or so, thanks to Florida banning greyhound racing!

Grace Kieser

Thank you. I was trying to parse this, and your interpretation of blurry obscured words seems on theme. You didn’t write out option a) Yes.

Simran Khalsa

Awww, Claire'sMum is soooo cute. So is the Borzoi.

Denise Webber

On a happier note, if you are looking for a dog that will love you from the moment you scratch her ears, adopt a racing greyhound.

Philip D Jones

I can see where this is going. The dog’s real family shows up. They are adorable, especially their little girl. She misses her doggie so much. They will be so grateful to get their dog back Claire’s mom can’t let on that she is devastated. But she is. Bittersweet ending.

Philip D Jones

Yay Surprise Comic!

Lars Gottlieb

Like this one? ;) <a href="https://topatoco.com/collections/jeph-jacques/products/qc-dogsaregood" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://topatoco.com/collections/jeph-jacques/products/qc-dogsaregood</a>

AnonymousBlob

Wow. This IS the epic story of how Claire's mom adopted a dog

Bagge

Is your dog a good boy? Yes Dogs are good Obviously. Like, So good.

Thomas Halpin

Dora having to adult. Her expressions are hilarious!

Chuck Dee

Tai such a pro she has Visine tucked away in like 6 strategic places.

Benzy

Such awesomness! We are not worthy!

mooviies

Librarians can select the confetti perk as early as level 4.

Gary Walker

Some people just have the confetti talent....

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

The red eyes on Claire and Ms. Augustus are fantastic.

Gary Walker

Looks like it. Did we ever learn her first name?

Fart Captor

ClaireMom's still high, ain't she?

Elf Sternberg

She saved the confetti that got caught in her hair <a href="https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2865" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">when Tai threw it at her</a>.

awgiedawgie

Please put a “dogs: they’re good” tee in the store.

Jp

Ermf

Brian

Always keep a reserve of confetti

Kyle Major

You're gonna toy with my heartstrings and snatch this good girl away at the last minute aren't you Jeph? HOW HYPOTHETICALLY DARE YOU

Fart Captor

It's Friday, right??? Not complaining, just checking
