Obligatory Warning

Totally. I think the art pretty much hit its modern form around 2013, maybe a bit earlier.

Kenneth Carlile

No, Punchbot shows up later and is a different color. Similar model and outlook, though..

Kenneth Carlile

I should re-read the archives again, if only for the magical journey through Jeph's ever-evolving art style.

Mark

.... Is this punchbot?! <a href="http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3007" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3007</a>

Julienne Ignace

Nope, still nothin' to ship here. On to the next comic...

"Oblige" (v) means to do something for someone else as a favor. "Obligate" (v) means to cause someone to be compelled to do something.

dipique

"And then give her mff mff mff..." "We really do, have to go; come along, Amanda."

Daryl Sawyer

Smooth Clinton.

Patrick Jackson

For whatever reason, the last one made me start re-reading QC from the beginning. It's fun! I just ran across this little gem: <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1900" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1900</a> The note under the comic is priceless.

Kenneth Carlile

“...and a kiss, give her a kiss, too!”

Will Weaver

Jeph, what could you do to make it a trifecta? Critical plot error? Should Critical Plot Error be the name of a band?

Summer Sudbrink

Buck Caldwell, I’m going to say yes. :)

Summer Sudbrink

a typo AND an art mistake, this is my best work yet

Jeph Jacques

Yeah, Evie and Amanda. Amanda thinks it's a bit early to be talking about it but now she and Evie are THINKING about it...? Well, stuff tends to happen in those circumstances!

Ben Russell-Gough

The more I think about it, the sweeter I find it that Amanda so wants Faye to be happy. Y'see, that's what I really think this about: Amanda wants Faye to be happy and thinks that Bubbles is the person to do it.

Ben Russell-Gough

Strangely Evie didn't mention weddings... surely she wouldn't dare not invite Faye? *shock*

Andrew

OoooooOOOoo. Something tells me we'll be getting another wedding story one day. :D

Dahlia Rose Israel

Ah, the good ol' Faye welcoming to the family

Bagge

Obliged is more usual, but obligated is still correct.

Phil Haddock

Or only 11 easy payments of $30 bucks!

Drakoo Dreamer

She is the Kwisatz Haderach.

Luzahn

Well obviously she has a mood jacket. It's like a mood ring, except bigger and kinda random. Buy YOURS for only $99.99. XD

Littleshiro-kun

Evie's jacket changes color in the last panel, I doubt that was intended O_O

Dustin

In the sense Faye is using, the difference seems to be purely regional.

Diptych

Obligated= required to. Obliged, as in “much obliged” = in your debt for that service (usually solely social debt and minor, a colloquialism)

Simran Khalsa

Aww, murders ^_^

Fart Captor

They're on the same curling team.

Gary Walker

What's the difference between obligated and obliged anyway?

Summer Sudbrink

Yes, this is palette-swapped Player 2 Evie.

Dean Reilly

This is going to be an interesting week.

The jacket originally matches Faye's, then suddenly changes to match Amanda's. Is this an 8-bit video game with a limited palette?

Carl Fink

It’s a form of relationship camouflage, to warn off potential suitors.

Andrew

Great, now Bubs will think Amanda likes her!

Andrew

I’ll be getting 30C, so I’ll ship some of that warm your way!

Andrew

I wanna know where I can get me a color changing jacket like that

Heh. "Whoops." Has Jeph learned to start reading his comments yet?

Buck Caldwell

Suddenly matching jackets?

Summer Sudbrink

It’s gonna be 30F where I am tomorrow. If anyone feels obligated to warm me, feel free.

William Hanna
