I keep on waiting for Angus to return out of the blue.

This "bank one" approach hadn't occurred to me - thanks!

Open Channel D.

That's not how you transport a vibrator!

Diptych

So, Overly Attached Girlfriend in a Suit really likes her ... pen? Is it a vibrating pen? Is that why she's overly attached to it? If so, then why is she carrying it in her hand? Should it be ... somewhere else?

Brad Knowles

When Jeph starts toying with cute couples, that's what prompts me to actually check the Patreon feed to get a day ahead because I CAN'T STAND THE SUSPENSE.

Ian R Buck

Elton Brun. Known for such hits as Enormous Dancer, Saturday Night's Not Alright For Fighting (You Will Be Removed From The Venue), Rocket Hand, and Your Song And Your Song Too.

Diptych

...oh. Bother.

Aaarrrgghhhhhh suspense idk if I need more brunellton or Faybles. I want both! (Brunellton is what we’re calling them right?)

Red Pen Girl is dressed like the super-powerful AI that freed Bubbles' memory block. Disaster imminent!

Jon Pio

Melon was the last one in the chair, though. RIP Melon.

Will Weaver

OMG the anxiety..... I cannot wait!

The woman, "this pen is red!"

John M Davis

Load more comments 2 of 130 .. uh .. yeah, think I'll just wait for tomorrow's comic.

Unanimous D

Damn it, Jeph... Right in the Feels.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

What pledge level gets me the strip after this - NOW? :)

Armin von Werner

Random extra loves pen!

Patrick Jackson

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Jeph Jacques

Meanwhile, at Coffee of Doom, Bubbles has just sat down hard enough to destroy her chair. She also destroyed Punchbot, who was sitting in it at the time.

GragSmash

JEPH WHY DOES EVERYONE LEAVE

F'yacin

nah i think that lady in the street did something, she looks to suspicious.

Or possibly seeking Momo for advice. Or Punchbot

Fart Captor

I didn't read this until this morning but somehow last night I dreamed that this was the comic. Followed my May at work, where Steve comes in to buy cereal.

We have remember that Bubbles is also fragile emotionally and she took a risk doing a thing she felt uncomfortable doing and then perceived that she was rejected for doing it. Faye was so overwhelmed with her own emotions she never considered Bubbles' emotions.

SARA J DAVIS

I don’t know what I was expecting ... but this wasn’t it. It’s your story; I’m just a passenger. But I hope you’ll be kind to figments of your imagination that I care about.

Bob Ellis

This is my guess, bubbles goes and finds a body more human like. And then Faye tells her to change back etc

Jacob Crux

No, Spookybot in disguse; the pen is Bubbles. Spookybot wants to show her some stuff before she makes any final decisions about a relationship with Faye.

Ben Russell-Gough

Daaaaaaaaamn yooooooou Jeppppphhhhhhh !!!!!!!! :p

Gerry

Panel 2: Melon in disguise, first day as pen-tester!

Jan Gampe

She's totally just back at the apartment

Fart Captor

I smell a particularly generous patron whom Jeph is rewarding with a walk-on non-speaking part.

Ben Russell-Gough

Agreed; this is the point where Faye's brain fills in the blanks. When Bubbles returns, Faye will be so afraid and will have worked herself into such a panic that she'll not even THINK of holding back.

Ben Russell-Gough

The most likely explanation is that Bubbles is out getting some supplies. However, Faye's brain will assume the worst. The heartbreak she feels at the thought of losing Bubbles will fill in the few remaining blanks and kill the few remaining doubts she has. Bubbles is going to be very surprised when Faye jumps her when she comes back. I mean, she doesn't MIND being glomped and then held in a death-grip whilst Faye babbles apologies and professions of love but it's still pretty darn shocking!

Ben Russell-Gough

So much foreboding, Jeph... <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2093" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Even more than this.</a>

David Paul

JEPH

It's actually a good thing - even if Bubbles is just out for essential shopping, Faye would be too scared of the idea of losing her to "take time to think it over". Faye may say to Bubbles much more on the adrenaline than she was planning on.

Evgeniy Semyonov

*sigh* Poor Faybles. I want to give Faye a hug but I'm a little afraid of her so I'll let Bubbles do it... if Jeph ever puts them in the same panel again. It could be months, even years. By the way, I just want to say how much I enjoy reading the comments from everyone. It makes QC that much more enjoyable and I appreciate it. In closing, BUTTS.

Celine Chamberlin

NOOOOO WTF

Stoodmuffin

My vision of what may happen next: Bubbles is in the bar with Brun and Elliot, drowning her sorrows. Clinton, seeing her, will contact Claire, who will get in touch with Faye, who will have to come and dry Bubbles out.

Aaaaaaaaand this is when I realize QC has become an addiction, no longer merely a pleasant pastime. I'd have quit by this point, if only I could. I am weak. I must see the next strip. If I give more, can I get them TWO days in advance? C'mon Jeph, just a taste to tide me over?

BobC

And now, Faye really knows what she wants.

Jason Doege

Georgia. Called it

ysth

In panel six, zoomed all the way out, square glasses look kinda round, and for a second I thought "Tilly??"

Jason Zions

One can only hope that Bubbles wisely decided a cup of Assam and some sittin' time in her large and comfortable chair at Coffee of Doom are what she needed.

Jason Zions

Personally I often put on my best business suit and walk through town with my favorite red pen.

Bagge

Did she just walk past a Woman in Black, still holding out her memory eraser pen?

RoofPig

ohnoooooo

Morgan McCauley

text her, dumb butt

Adam Friedlander

I hope Bubbles is getting advice from Pintsize. The laughs!

Chuck Dee

is it too late to go back to the Steve eating cereal idea tho

Magic Chopstick Games

It's established QC more that AIs don't actually experience conscious thought any faster than humans do

Cody Renton

Even the AI can do a relationship.

Matt

We jinxed it

Dylan T

I hope Bubbles is getting advice from Claire.

Danya Michael

Bubbles, being an AI, can obsess over what she did wrong to scare Faye away several million times a second. As in running away was the absolute worst thing Faye could do ever.

Afunnythinghappedtome

No no no no :(

Oh man, bad vibes :( Seriously sad about this.

Travis Wedding

i want to cry

this comic gives me anxiety

Colin

Jeph you mother fucker

Griffon

you're killing it right now

darklion

Who's the chick in the suit? She seems nice.

Bubbles changes to a male chassis. Faye's head explodes.

Carl Fink

BARTENDER POUR ME A COPING MECHANISM

Afunnythinghappedtome

motherfucking red pan!

Kyle Major

YES HE CAN THATS WHAT AUTHORS DO THE BASTARDS

Afunnythinghappedtome

So the next comic will be...Faye leaves sadly and heads home. She gets home and finds she's not at home either, and now she's upset. Meanwhile, in the next frame, Bubbles walks into the shop after a long walk and says, "Faye?"..."Faye?"...no one is there...then says "Ah, fuck" and leaves.

Bartley J Drood

JEPH, YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO US

JD

Only works if you scream it out like Kevin Sorbo reading his emotions as Hercules.

I really don't like how isolated that last panel feels.

I kind of expected this, but even still...DISAPPOINTED!!

Everett Bradshaw

You know I was just joking Jeph. Right?

Paul Rendell

"Oh. It seems they also mistakenly put a jar of scented body oil in my shopping bag."

Afunnythinghappedtome

1000 episodes of Questionable Content later... "And so concludes The Adventure of the Red Pen Lady. Now back to Faye and Bubbles."

Clifton Royston

WELP.

Clifton Royston

Bubbles enters a couple minutes later. "I was concerned about your pulled muscle, so I purchased a topical medicated balm from the pharmacy on the corner."

Czarzhan

Going for tea?

SpazzyC

Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the next page is Bubbles getting actual legitimate good advice from Pintsize? (“Okay, so how tall should my humanoid body be?”)

Miyaa

no, it's chekhov's gun

darklion

Oof, yeah.

William Cole

It's a very popular suit

Grace Kieser

ITS NOT A PEN ITS A HERRING

Afunnythinghappedtome

Please let her inexplicably show up with a certain cereal-eating dude who gives her good advice...

Afunnythinghappedtome

She's just out getting a pack of 9 volt batteries.

Jamison Town

Please just let her be out getting advice. Please please please.

Val

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Erin Hartshorn

Did Bubbles get hit with the overthinking D:

TMN

Isn't that what Dora and Tai are? o_o

TMN

Bubbles is gone.

The woman with the pen looks innocuous, but she wears the same suit as Spookybot so I don't know.

Brent Catherman

I don't understand.

Mitchell Sealy

JEPH, BUBBLES, NO! D':

Nicholas Lopez

AARGH

Afunnythinghappedtome

WHAT ARE YOU DOING JEPH NO

Sian

My very dear Faye: The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days — perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more … I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans on the triumph of the Government and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and sufferings of the Revolution. And I am willing — perfectly willing — to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt … Faye my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me unresistibly on with all these chains to the battle field. Yours, and no one elses, Bubbles

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

Next on Red Pen Lady Adventures...

Daniel Higgins

JEPH YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD OW MY FEELS

Afunnythinghappedtome

Like a punch to the gut

Alcaria Swain

Bubbles got a makeover, she's now a pen.

darklion

Red things are ripe, therefore, ergo, that pen is gonna be delicious.

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

Bubbles didn't clear out did she??

Shawn K. Younkin

I want to know more about pen lady

Erin Moriarty

Totally expected...and yet somehow still absolutely crushing. Right in the feels sir

Rick W
