This is almost in the ballpark of old QC crass humor, looks like he wasn't kidding when he said Cubetown was making him interested in writing the comic again. A year ago I never would have guessed we'd see a reference to something so "problematic" as wet t-shirt contests again.
>somehow that makes you look more naked
It's true. My almonds activated immediately upon seeing it. Who knew MORE clothes could make Moray more erotic?
There was a wardrobe guy for Star Trek named Theiss whose designs were all about nearly falling off. The clothes emphasize the temptation of what's beneath.
Bless those horny maniacs.
A reminder that Claire is a dude out of college with a librarian degree and this job now seems to entail human resources, being a boss and all kinds of stupid shit.
He couldn't even find a regular librarian job before this and used to be an anti-social weirdo.
there was a timeskip that was long enough for her to change her hairstyle several times and get buff, you fricking mong. of course she learned some shit in that time
Do you fricking think fixing complex machinery is something you can just pick up?
What fricking balls do you have to defend Questionable Content's shitty writing.

Not really. Faye WAS only hammering dents and doing some welding at first, had/still has someone actually qualified training her over time for the more complicated stuff, makes mistakes doing that stuff because of her inexperience, and she's never presented as some savior in a sea of incompetence. She also wasn't hired straight into a position of authority.
> she's never presented as some savior in a sea of incompetence.
That's literally what her current business is.
AGAIN, fixing complex machines is not something you just pick up.
These robots are more complex than cars and car mechanics have to take years of training to be able to deal with all car systems and types of cars.
Skilled technical labour is hard and takes a whole lot of time.
She didn't "just pick it up", she has Bubbles training her and handling all the work that's still beyond her skill level. >That's literally what her current business is.
Her shop is the cheapest in town, not the most or only competent one. Its also basically a failure because of those prices, Faye can barely afford cup ramen and her half of the rent. If this was like the current Claire situation, she'd have a monopoly on repairs in the area and every robot would be calling her The Doctor or something.

It doesn't change the fact that's she's essentially an unlicensed ripperdoc operating out of a rented garage.

And? What are you even trying to argue? That her plot is just as dumb as Claire's because they're both unqualified for their jobs? I would agree if Faye was suddenly doing all this stuff on her own, but again, Bubbles is the one doing the complex work.

Sorry, I wasn't the anon you'd been talking to previously. To elaborate on my point, I see it sort of as the same dichotomy of May's failing chassis being an arc that went over hundreds of strips, had several peaks and valleys, and ultimately changed the landscape of several relationships within the cast. It was an actual storyline and was moderately well executed by QC standards. Then Pintsize bought one with pocket change a week later, which undermined all of that to the point Jeph had to lampshade it. There's been no worldbuilding on what these chassis actually are, how expensive one is relative to an average person's wages, the effect on human-tier AI on an economy when AI don't need sleep/food/most human accommodations, etc.
Things have exactly as much gravitas as is needed for the current comic page and then any implications are discarded. It's tiresome.
[...]
these terrible threads turned to shit when the "ai" sperg started spamming this low-rate coomer bait
you can't even shit on jeph in peace
saying that dbaru drawing for them is the only good thing about these threads has never been more true
They're not wrong, dude. AI art is inherently repetitive and distracts from what little genuine discussion and engagement we get here. I'm not insulted by its existence, keep doing what you do in the /aco/ thread, but it's nowhere near as interesting or as appreciated as the drawgays.
of course. I'd never stoop so low as to samegay. I was just keeping people up to date with the QC lora project. Now that it's done, I won't be posting any more pinups (which was just a showcase, really. Like I said, I doubt people were actually clamoring for pics of e.g. Iris or Renee, which is why I posted only one pic of them). Maybe I'll just post a riff or a variation on the current comic once in a while, just like I've been posting less frequently recently since the novelty wore off after the first couple threads.
And as for coombait... come on, anon. Let's not kid ourselves. You're either hatereading the comic, or reading it for the sexy ladies. I doubt you're the target audience for Jeph's brand of "queer comfort food".
AI art has a hard time doing anything besides "standing around". No dynamic action at all.
Not true. I'm just very unimaginative. This time I tried to get some more dynamic poses and they can be pretty decent.
Anyway, here's Claire. Enjoy. All loras can be found at https://huggingface.co/Arjer/Girls_of_QC.
Sorry you don't like them, anon. Sadly, that's the limitation with the current models. Maybe in a couple of years, it will improve and you'll have all the dancing Claire you want.
>reading it for the sexy ladies
Since when did we get these twitter-tourist types there? Was that meant for the actual artist that draw here on the regular or are you simultaneous sucking the ai's dick plush jeph's dick?

I *am* the AI anon, dude. And if you think I care about twitter at all, you're mistaken. All I cared about was a way to generate waifus on demand, nothing more, nothing less. Not to replace the human drawfriends, not to suck Jeph's dick, not anything.
Ok little attention-prostitute. So are going to frick off now? Or are you going to throw a temper-tantrum and post here every single day just to "spite" all these posts calling you shit?

? This is the first thread that I've received any hostility. I have no interest in posting things people don't want, which is why I've been mostly taking request. I don't want to spite anybody. I'm only planning to post very occasionally, as you may have gathered if you actually read the post you quoted. I ask this with full seriousness: are you Jeph?

I'm with you, been trying to keep up with these threads for the last couple weeks again and saw nothing but appreciation for the Loras until today. I have no idea why people are suddenly upset, it was one of the things keeping the thread active multiple days which I always get a kick out of. I'll have to wander over to the /aco/ stuff after work hours but love seeing these scattered around the discussion. Hoping to see some of the older characters if you ever get around to it, forget about the haters who showed up out of nowhere today.

Honestly this is the best use of AGI I’ve seen. Just quick on model lewds of a mediocre webcomic where the majority of female characters have some waifu-able traits.
This is more of a pleasant surprise than I thought it would be. Not bad for Claire.
>keep doing what you do in the /aco/ thread >there's /aco/ thread for this shit?
For a second there I live in a world where I gave this comic too much credit. I'm going to assume that you mean "AI" threads, correct?
Where the frick did all you people complaining about the ai art come from? There's still been genuine discussion, if you want to call it that, and the drawgays have still been doing their thing. Frick off.

Considering that's Jipfth's bread and butter he may have to watch out as it seems AI has got his lazy hands beat when it comes to consistency of quality, variety of costume, and detailed backgrounds.
>consistency of quality, variety of costume, and detailed backgrounds.
What's it like being this delusional? I hate Jeph and all his -WORK- and -EFFORT- should be ridiculed, but you're just brain-dead if you actually believe this. Back to twitter you go.
Literally the only way this electronic rag of a comic is getting any attention is because of the jank. I would posit that this is one of the rare cases where "ai" would make it "better" and thus take all the "hate-hype" it has. Big Money Jeph doesn't have to worry about shit all.

Seems like a very Cubetown thing to do and a very Handstab way to resolve the plot with no conflict or problems so that's probably going to be the answer
Honestly I assumed the robot bartender was a girl until I read your comment, and I realize now I had no real reason to think it was an androgynous girl rather than a boy beyond the fact it's a character Jeph is introducing so it's going to be a girl.
>Dr. e-girl wretching as Marten tries to introduce her to beer >Dr. e-girl immediately spitting it out as Claire tries to introduce her to scotch >Dr. e-girl getting completely smashed with Moray on brightly colored, high-sugar wienertails >Dr. e-girl waking up the next morning with a new tattoo, piercing, a throbbing headache, and leaking Moray goo out of at least 2 holes
>at least 2 holes
All the holes.
And it's not a bit of goo, its the entirety of Moray's body. In her digestive system. Her reproductive tract. Some of her nasal and sinus cavities. A bit under her tongue. In the ears. Everywhere that didn't interfere with breathing.
They drunkenly bet each other that couldn't fit Moray in Liz.
They both lost.
>Dr. e-girl wakes up looking pregnant and freaks out that kissing a boy got her knocked up >a miniature Moray is wandering around trying to figure out where she left the rest of her body
>Dr. e-girl wakes up looking pregnant and freaks out that kissing a boy got her knocked up >a miniature Moray is wandering around trying to figure out where she left the rest of her body
>Well, the good news is that voluntarily allowing a nanomachine based coworker to inhabit your body's various orifices does not run afoul of any Cubetown HR policies. The bad news is that per Canadian law Moray is now considered to be simultaneously your common law spouse and child.
Then a whole arc is dedicated to them trying to find their way out of this wacky legal snarl, concluding with Moray spontaneously giving birth to a human-robot-jellyfish-slime hybrid
Jeph, you fricking know.
Can you at least make Marten do something now in Cubetown, besides plowing Claire every night.
sorry I meant to say being pounded by claire
Every time Marten isn't in the comic, presume he's getting his bussy stitched back up.
WET T-SHIRT MORAY
JEPH YOU MADLAD I ALMOST FORGIVE YOU
also how did they end up in a building with the same color and decor as Marten's apartment
This is almost in the ballpark of old QC crass humor, looks like he wasn't kidding when he said Cubetown was making him interested in writing the comic again. A year ago I never would have guessed we'd see a reference to something so "problematic" as wet t-shirt contests again.
It's okay, she's safe in that room full of female identifying persons and Marten, who is effectively a nonentity
>94% water
What's the other 6%?
Nanomachines, son.
>her vegana hardens in response to physical trauma
Dear god.
The harder you pound the harder it grips.
Now I want someone to draw Moray as Senator Armstrong
AND FROM THE ASHES A NEW CUBETOWN WILL BE BORN
i was going to draw a background for this but i already put way too much effort into this shitpost
nanobots and whatever solution she has to keep herself semi-solid
Cum
Liz.
Wet T-shirt.
Now.
>somehow that makes you look more naked
It's true. My almonds activated immediately upon seeing it. Who knew MORE clothes could make Moray more erotic?
The pony community has known this for years.
There was a wardrobe guy for Star Trek named Theiss whose designs were all about nearly falling off. The clothes emphasize the temptation of what's beneath.
Bless those horny maniacs.

Its the same with naked ladies in general.

A reminder that Claire is a dude out of college with a librarian degree and this job now seems to entail human resources, being a boss and all kinds of stupid shit.
He couldn't even find a regular librarian job before this and used to be an anti-social weirdo.
Being head of a special collection or archive absolutely entails being in charge of others and delegating tasks anon
The out of college and head of library thing are critical. Dude doesn't have either one of those.
He has zero job experience with this shit.
This is like how Faye became a super duper robot technician when all she knew to do was do some welding before.
there was a timeskip that was long enough for her to change her hairstyle several times and get buff, you fricking mong. of course she learned some shit in that time
Do you fricking think fixing complex machinery is something you can just pick up?
What fricking balls do you have to defend Questionable Content's shitty writing.
Stabby knows nothing about how a workplace work and has never entered one. He's like a /misc/luter trying to write about basic human interactions:
Writing ability is like a raisin; not everyone gets to have it, you privileged upper-middle-class ass.
This is a joke about how moronic 3783 is please don't hurt me.
Not really. Faye WAS only hammering dents and doing some welding at first, had/still has someone actually qualified training her over time for the more complicated stuff, makes mistakes doing that stuff because of her inexperience, and she's never presented as some savior in a sea of incompetence. She also wasn't hired straight into a position of authority.

Anon, you're implying that Claire might be something less than perfect and omni-competent, and you know that isn't the case. Claire can do no wrong.
Eh, t-shirt only goo-bot doesn't do anything for me. Now, the science e-girl in a wet t-shirt contest on the other hand...
What's great is if Moray pukes on you she just touches it and reabsorbs it into her body.
I more and more get the feeling Moray puts out. That makes it extra frustrating to see no one try to frick her.
well shopped anon, for a moment i thought heph had done something actually funny

Now I'm just waiting for the 'Plot Twist' that Cubetown gets inexplicably moved to Northhampton-or-whatever-the-frick.
'Plot Twist' will be that they create a portal that makes transition between cubetown and Northhampton not existence.

She's probably plenty horny even when she's not drunk, I can only imagine what kind of demented sex fiend she turns into once she gets alcohol in her
I bet she rides like a champ.

Wasn’t it ‘Applebloom’
The typo fairy sikes again.
Pretty sure it's always been Appleboom. Applebloom is the blankflank.
I know. It hasn’t been blank since like season 7 I think.
I fell off in S2 and from there only kept tabs on the fandom through porn.
Love how the new bar is as featureless as every other building. Just huge swathes of empty black space
It's minimal. Totally not Jeph being lazy.
Can the robot goo girl have more goo added?
Yeah. We've seen her backup jar of emergency goo before.
