Do you really think Liz can handle the Augustus Anal Annihilator? Clinton doesn't bottom because he's a b***h, he bottoms because his wiener could literally frick Elliot to death.
Liz is a 19-year-old shutin who lives in a NEETcave on an island of tinkerers and obsessives. She has an anal elasticity matched only by muppets and the dead.
Siblings tend to be buttholes to each other, but Claire is also very aware of Clint's tendency to go overboard when meeting notable figures in/adjacent to science that he's interested in. IIRC, he practically molested Hanners when he realized who she was out of sheer excitement, then stalkers her for a couple of weeks.
What’s it to her? The guys in school to be an engineer or whatever and he’s excited about his contemporaries. Meanwhile Claire is deep in student debt to be a damn librarian, and is suicidally depressed if not for the saving grace of some straight guy with enough of a savior complex to settle her entire transexual life with a permanent relationship where he politely pretends to love her reconstructed genitalia while giving her sex as a favor, likely due to his correct assumption that anything less will lead to her suicide. And through all this, she has the temerity to sexually mock him as a virgin and for occasionally seeming regularly lonely, the sheer greed with which Claire approaches her newfound relationship status, which is largely a complete gift from a guy who runs a halfway house, is unbearable. Clint’s missing a damn arm and is going through hardworking education to contribute to the field of prosthetics they both rely on, and all Claire can do is be nasty when this guy gets excited he may have found a like minded person. Claire is an absolute c**t, you give someone an inch and they take a mile. Imagine how easy it would be to destroy Claire with a sentence, and how she’s created an entire bubble of either peoples’ charity around her to stave off what was once a constant depression and threat of suicide.
She should simply not be talking like this.
I think you're reading WAY to into things.
Claire is annoyed because she's now has to wrangle ANOTHER person who makes everyone around them uncomfortable by getting too excited.
She's going to have to yell at one of them for pushing the other past their point of comfort, which would annoy anyone. Regardless of your feelings for Claire, Clinton is an annoying dweeb.
Claire doesn't HAVE to do anything, but she will because she feels compelled to get involved in everyone else's business. Seriously, I get the whole, 'he was obsessive about Hannelore' thing, but there hasn't been another instance of that behavior since it was resolved. Claire just seems to enjoy shit-talking her brother to other people.
He was always written to be a loser. Hell, him getting bottomed out by Elliot is suppose to be seen as a rare win for him. I get that you despise Claire, but he wasn't written specifically to be her punching bag.

Clinton predates Claire by years, and he was always a creepy butthole with boundary issues. The problem is that Jeph has neutered both Clinton and Claire's behavior towards him. Their dynamic worked when he was a self-entitled shit and her ragging on him was exaggerated but now that he's just kinda there and Claire is just kinda snippy towards him it doesn't anymore.

Elliott isn't the top. That's incredibly obvious. He's pounding bussy, though probably not as much as Claire is.
Unless she hates what they became. In which case seeing her failed genetics flounder before being extinguished might be the only true spark of joy she feels.
She hasn't expressed any issues with her kids being trans and gay. In fact, no character in this comic has ever expressed prejudice of any kind, excepting precisely one time a couple teenagers called Bubbles a freak

What? Jeph wrote the character as someone who has her kids on some channel named ‘mommy milkers’ where she uses a four-titted anthro cow as her avatar and doesn’t understand why that might make her kid uncomfortable when she pulls him on screen in front of her fans. Within the narrative, I’m looking at a single mother with two sexually depressed children who runs a program about her named after her breasts. Im not broken up about it or anything but is a grim state of affairs for the kids, the joke in that comic is she doesn’t understand why her lonely son feels violated by this. It is what it is

Yep. The first one came out trans, then took advantage of her brother's miserable dating life to gaslight him into hooking up with a guy she and the other girls were shipping him with.
>Elliot ALMOST back in the comic >But no, actually we can't have him back >I thought jeph was here reading our complaints because a thread or two back someone said that clinton and eliot basically disappeared the moment they settled into a relationship and fricked >But today I get to $CLOWN on jeph for his comic >he who honks last honks loudest
I like how her gay twink brother is hotter than her.
Also he got to frick the himbo.
Then Jeph decided to shelve them for years on end as soon as they got together.
That's the fate of all Jeph's dolls who aren't Hannelore or Claire. A few years from now this entire house party and almost everyone in it other than those two will be in the memoryhole.
The cast is huge, so he has to rotate it. Thing is, the cast is so huge, that the rotations last literal years.
We haven't seen Emily since 2020 or Raven since 2011. I was hoping they'd come back for Cubetown.

No, Marten was an entry level office worker (as Jeph was thanks to upper middle class family connections, before quitting when QC took off). Then he quit and found the library job more or less immediately, because Jeph has a boomer level understanding of the job market. See: two cast members more or less accidentally falling into "frick you" amounts of streamer money without the least bit of planning, Dale as a "hard work pays off" stereotype doing 5 part time positions, Claire for no specific reason getting the Cubetown job, etc.

Jeph sidestepped some of the issue by making all the AIs wacky weirdos, and handwaving that they're all made by a blackbox process that know one knows exactly why it works just that it does. So they can't custom order a bunch of AI workers. Some AI would be content to be accounting software, but others want bodies, or to fulfill their fetish of being a vending machine or analyzing internet memes, etc.

Maybe that particular one is for the best, she acted more like someone would downs than an autist, I mean if anyone would know it would be this thread after all.

I guess when you've been a NEET as long as Jeph has now since he's been hold up in his bunker in Canada you forget other people aren't actually psychic, probably been years since he's talked to anybody except the pizza delivery guy. Either that or he's just moronic, either one's totally believeable.

This one seems fine. It's just supposed to be a drawn journal of what you did during the day and it seems like he did a fair variety of things.

Sorry anon. In one comic, I think around the floating obsidian orb one semi recently, two vtubers were in the background. The actual decent subreddit identified who they were but I don't recall.
Yeah I know, plebbit, but r/questionablecontent isn't afraid to rip the comic a new one.
I'm just a tourist in these threads, so maybe I'm reading ginger guy's character wrong, but if he's the kind of person that goes out of their way to read someone's dissertation, he should know that a publication drought is embarrassing. You're not supposed to talk about it unless you're offering someone a pity collab. >Since you haven't published anything since you-
There's no way to end that sentence that wouldn't make you an enemy for life.
>if he's the kind of person that goes out of their way to read someone's dissertation, he should know that a publication drought is embarrassing
Your critical assumption is that the author of this comic was aware that bringing up a large gap in publication is in itself a faux pas in academia, which I guarantee you is not the case.
Sure, respect alongside possible worry and discomfort. And if it came up, you might have the decency to say ‘I know this affects you’ when it does, rather than poking them and blowing it off like you don’t even know why they would care.

People are affected by things, are you going to throw that away now, pretending you wouldn't even notice if your mom was flirting with a thousand guys on twitch in the hot tub with the bikini? Im not even talking about me lmfao, I'm looking at a drawing of someone's son being pulled onto his mom's stream not realizing it was anthro fap material, I feel for the guy. The discomfort in the situation is the joke, Jeph wrote it as the punchline because it's weird.
are you phased by medical talk, or literal shit talk.
i've gotten acclimatized to talking about horrifying things only to be told "i'm uncomfortable about this topic"
He actually has lost a lot of weight in recent years and is now pretty skinny. He's talked about it on his twitter. Yoga + health food + no drinking, I guess?
Marten has hated Pintsize roughly when Pintsize was going to say something to his boyfriend. Ever since then he's been treating Pintsize like a mortal enemy.
Of course, Jeph could be mocking us with how Pintsizes new chassis ruined him.
The fact that possible conflict is happening at all is a major welcome change. A couple of years ago, the next page would Clinton apologizing, Liz accepting it immediately, and then the final panel is them being drunk best friends planning something wacky.
>after party Clinton wakes up and missing his hand >liz off panel says “I think I know where it is” >she’s laying naked under the covers next to him with a vibrating sound coming from under the sheets
Calling it now: Clinton will be karmically punished/ told to leave for daring to put his insecurities above Liz's. His apology will be construed as an act of narcissism.
Love when the gist of the contrived drama is articulated real specifically like this. "Due to a variety of severe problems" like a month ago they weren't all treating her like shit

It hasn't even been a week. That bar party in Cubetown was 3, 4 days ago. They literally thought nothing of buying same-day plane tickets, not one concern about the cost.
Claire implicitly already collects an obscene salary from being "the librarian" of cubetown, but if not then she can just coast around through life with some of her mom's millions. Then occasionally there will be allusions to the robot repair garage or the coffee shop struggling with money, but never any real exploration of poverty finance since Jeph has never been less than wealthy in his life

No, it's he had no idea that raisins are pretty much the poverty staple and frequently given out as part of school lunches so they can easily hit nutritional requirements. On top of that he then made Brun explicitly a member of ethno-cultural group that uses raisins in their traditional cooking.
He's since re-edited this to where the situation is that she's never had raisin bread before, right? He went back and edited the comic where he thought that vTubers made millions of dollars a month; surely this more more outrageous page was edited... right?

The thing that always gets me about this is that he specifically calls out school lunches, and as anyone who grew up poor in the US knows, if there's ONE fruit you were guaranteed to have encountered in a school lunch, it was fricking raisins (followed closely by a tiny, grainy Red Delicious apple). It could not be more clear that his privilege was too great to know what actual poor kids ate, and he never checked his assumption.

One that hasn't been paid yet because, again, under a week. She bought the tickets NEXT DAY, even if there was an unmentioned signing bonus that still wouldn't have posted the full amount. And suddenly getting paid more doesn't instantly make most well adjusted people lose their lifetime of price consciousness. And her mom only relatively recently became a streamprostitute and hasn't shown an inclination to money shower her kids. They had at least a middle class lifestyle before, but still no indications that was enough to not even blink at same day ticket prices.
So yes, chalk it up to Jeph himself never having to really worry about the price of things (even things he was directly involved in, back when he was going to a dozen conventions a year) and being bad at showing it or faking it.
they're gonna frick
Not before Liz grades Clinton's penis. He needs at least a 'B' to pass, and she'll leave notes in red sharpie.
Do you really think Liz can handle the Augustus Anal Annihilator? Clinton doesn't bottom because he's a b***h, he bottoms because his wiener could literally frick Elliot to death.
Liz is a 19-year-old shutin who lives in a NEETcave on an island of tinkerers and obsessives. She has an anal elasticity matched only by muppets and the dead.
I'd like to put a summary in her inbox!
She can raise it to a full paper, but it'll take a few years. Luckily, she can multitask and do 5 or 6 at once.
Why does Claire still treat him like he's an butthole? I thought being gay absolved you of all your crimes in QC
Because women are just like that
>women
It makes it worse. Women quietly hate gays because pussy has no power in that situation.
Everyone’s a catty butthole in this series.
Siblings tend to be buttholes to each other, but Claire is also very aware of Clint's tendency to go overboard when meeting notable figures in/adjacent to science that he's interested in.

And through all this, she has the temerity to sexually mock him as a virgin and for occasionally seeming regularly lonely, the sheer greed with which Claire approaches her newfound relationship status, which is largely a complete gift from a guy who runs a halfway house, is unbearable. Clint’s missing a damn arm and is going through hardworking education to contribute to the field of prosthetics they both rely on, and all Claire can do is be nasty when this guy gets excited he may have found a like minded person. Claire is an absolute c**t, you give someone an inch and they take a mile. Imagine how easy it would be to destroy Claire with a sentence, and how she’s created an entire bubble of either peoples’ charity around her to stave off what was once a constant depression and threat of suicide.

I see you, like me, have also been roommates with a trans girl before. My condolences.

Oh yeah, the mom is like a hyperactive teenager about her mommy milker onlyfans. She basically clowns about being a pornstar and wearing cow bikinis while doing it every appearance she has, while both of the kids are depressed virgins, it’s pretty bad
that's a vtuber avatar anon
are you moronic or just feel personally attacked by this?
Not that anon but doesn't matter if it's an avatar or not. It's disgusting regardless.
Wasn't there something about using someone as a toilet? I mean, holy bloody hell....
What? Jeph wrote the character as someone who has her kids on some channel named ‘mommy milkers’ where she uses a four-titted anthro cow as her avatar and doesn’t understand why that might make her kid uncomfortable when she pulls him on screen in front of her fans. Within the narrative, I’m looking at a single mother with two sexually depressed children who runs a program about her named after her breasts. Im not broken up about it or anything but is a grim state of affairs for the kids, the joke in that comic is she doesn’t understand why her lonely son feels violated by this. It is what it is
>s a grim state of affairs for the kids
They are both adults anon, they have their own lives to take care of
Okay but how would you feel if your mom asked you to join her stream and she’s a four titted cow anthro named ‘mommymilkers’? Especially if you’re insecure about having not had sex. I’m not saying it can’t happen but it’s kind of a grim situation isn’t it? Duh
>look mom, the chat wants incest
with the way shitholes like twitch is, the new streamer meta will unironically be this
and 9 months later it will be live-birth streams
I'd feel sad about it. Same as everything.
I mean, I have a pretty active sex life and am on great terms with my mom, but if I found out that she was a very popular vTuber with a four-titted cowgirl as her mascot, I'd be weirded out and uncomfortable, too.
There mom is suppose to be in the weird "single wine mom" stage of her life, but instead of cruises and alcohol-heavy brunches with her other wine mom friends, she's a vTuber.
Actually this makes sense. A lot of the comics current Patreons are going to be Cool wine aunts (tm) so it's probably similar enough to feel like representation.
the comic really damaged you, didn't?
Anon, you're the damaged one if that stream didn't bother you in the slightest
You’re talking to two different anons, btw. Not buying the ‘oh wow you must be insecure and hurt’ angle either, it’s just a strange situation and Jeph wrote it that way on purpose
>depressed virgins
Both her son and her daughter are fricking a man's ass every night
Boypussy*
Well now they are, but both their stories are they were both deeply depressed and sexually insecure before they showed up in the comic.
Oh riiiiiiight, because everyone wins the lottery in this setting, to explain why they all act like unemployed 12 year olds, I forgot.
I like how you glossed over the fact that he intentionally mangled his hand to get his robot hand because he thought they were cool
I thought it was a fireworks related accident. Was it actually an “accident”?
His robo hand and her robo arms ate going to make some kind of sex bot aren't they
why is it that the older you get the more sense this pic makes
https://files.catbox.moe/84td4i.png
I was hoping for traditional porn, but this made me laugh my ass off. Good job drawbro
I don't know what to do with this.
But I'm laughing my ass off.
Every time i see this image I know someone posted something absolutely disgusting and I know better than to look.
MAD MAN
perfection
They always told me handholding was lewd. Now I see why.
wtf?
i'd think liz's arms would be dominating, there's two of them and only one of clinton's hand
Of all the wonderful things you've created this is the best.
I didn't know hands could ahegao (⁄ ⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄ ⁄)⁄
that's honestly pretty clever
What?
>that hand is sus amogus venting
>3 updates in 1 threads
>still going
lol and you still say you're not in-love with this hack and his comic? and you only got like a semi-jokey type of lewd lmao even
>Cinemaphile is so dead this thread hasn't fallen off the board yet
Why bother making a new thread when this one exists?
>You did?
>Why?
lol Best dialogue in a long while for Liz.
Also, that anon was right. Jeph really is giving Fat Chuuni breasts the Faye treatment. They're getting bigger and bigger with each update.
My brother in Christ that's literally just every character with breasts in this comic.
And we rate the comic a Terrible? Oy.
That surprised response is what everyone who writes a dissertation gives.
Most realistic dialogue for this dual-PhD since her introduction in the strip.
so both twin brothers ended up gay?
Yep. The first one came out trans, then took advantage of her brother's miserable dating life to gaslight him into hooking up with a guy she and the other girls were shipping him with.
only after trying to shop him to Emily, can't forget that
Good news is the Augustus bloodline ends there.
where's the FRICKING slime girl
I'm here purely for the porn but I can't even be mad at that lmao
Made me laugh harder than Jeph has in like 15 years
>Elliot ALMOST back in the comic
>But no, actually we can't have him back
>I thought jeph was here reading our complaints because a thread or two back someone said that clinton and eliot basically disappeared the moment they settled into a relationship and fricked
>But today I get to $CLOWN on jeph for his comic
>he who honks last honks loudest
>hee hee look at me I'm a fricking moron
>>hee hee look at me I'm a fricking moron
Now's your chance, Clinton. Get out of the gay gulag as soon as your brother turns his back.
I like how her gay twink brother is hotter than her.
Also he got to frick the himbo.
Then Jeph decided to shelve them for years on end as soon as they got together.
>disabled insecure gay man who’s trans sister bullies him
What a fricking life
I don't care about anything but the big titty chick with thick eye brows
I really did forget that the two guys trying to get the brown autistic waifu ended up gay for each other.
Now SHE got straight up memory-holed as soon as Clinton and Elliot touched tips. Hasn't been seen or heard from in nearly 3 years.
That's the fate of all Jeph's dolls who aren't Hannelore or Claire. A few years from now this entire house party and almost everyone in it other than those two will be in the memoryhole.
The cast is huge, so he has to rotate it. Thing is, the cast is so huge, that the rotations last literal years.
We haven't seen Emily since 2020 or Raven since 2011. I was hoping they'd come back for Cubetown.
>rotate
Mostly, once cast are gone they're gone.
Yeah that’s the truth. Remember when this was a story about a music store employee who was charmed by a punk girl customer?
Music?
You think Jeph remembers that he used to like music?
His house is still full of guitars hanging on the walls, so those should remind him.
>music store employee
No, Marten was an entry level office worker (as Jeph was thanks to upper middle class family connections, before quitting when QC took off). Then he quit and found the library job more or less immediately, because Jeph has a boomer level understanding of the job market. See: two cast members more or less accidentally falling into "frick you" amounts of streamer money without the least bit of planning, Dale as a "hard work pays off" stereotype doing 5 part time positions, Claire for no specific reason getting the Cubetown job, etc.
Huh, I remember Marten acting as a cashier at a desk, but you're probably right. Damn this comic came out in 2003 lmao
Didn't most of that happen post-singularity? Realistically (and I'm using that word very loosely) there'd be no need for human labor at all when you can ctrl+c/ctrl+v an infinite number of AIs and give them robot bodies when they need one. Or maybe I'm forgetting something, I've been reading this for too fricking long.
Jeph isn't a good enough scifi writer to really handle this.
AIs that are all but immortal and have very limited needs are a TERRIBLE idea to portray an oppressed group. There's no reason to have humans do anything.
Honestly if you ignore all the hand wavy pie in the sky sci-fi bullshit he has going on in the background that he never elaborates on like the robot twink devil and the space station AI and the giant jellyfish It's probably a pretty accurate depiction of the future. We managed to invent sentient AI but they're just as moronic and useless as we are.
QC works on Futurama rules and always has.
She's legally an adult but below the drinking age.
I know, I mean under drinking age. Maybe it's stupid that we use that term to mean drastically different things, but we do.
Haha he literally tried to start a new sci-fi comic too. Talk about leaning into your strengths, except, the exact opposite of that.
He really is an awful artist, too. I know he’s not trying to be ambitious or whatever, and it’s basically a cheap newspaper style comic, but Jeph really isn’t an artist or a writer
Don't remind me of the time he tried to draw a topless woman and failed spectacularly.
Lmfao reminds me of Tim Buckley’s ‘serious’ portrait of Link. I think some of these guys don’t even know what illustration is supposed to be like
B..but the ACTION! The GORE! Isn't this SERIOUS FICTION, FOLKS?!
can she get her limbs back? why would you do this?
They were vaguely-superpowered weirdos and apparently the only way to get a situational advantage over Mr. Gimpsuit was to make a shank out of her own arm bone.
Don't think about it for too long, or ideally at all.
I re-read the entirety of this shitfest to get the answer for you and... yes. Off-panel, after being told she totally couldn't.
I thought the plot-dump in SnowCrash was hamfisted, but this shit takes the cake. I also can't help but get the sneaking suspicion that this comic is suppose to be the far future of QA.
This was supposed to be a passion project for him.
What he delivered was poor scifi cliches with crappy art and no story.
Calling something a passion project in no way implies a quality and/or successful product, that's why the term passion project exists
He obviously ran out of passion by the end of it.
you can tell jeph has a strong antidepressant prescription because he can't finish anything
>Passion project
>The ending is literally 20 pages of the characters GUESSING what made the plot happen, then the main character runs off
>You can tell that the reveal of why Gimpman, the Main Character, and her ex-girlfriend have powers is literally because Jeffy watched a youtube video of someone explaining physics with scary music in the background
Fricking UNICORN JELLY was a better scifi passion project, and even it could explain the wacky made up scifi stuff in a way that made sense if you took time to except the rules of the setting.
Jeph sidestepped some of the issue by making all the AIs wacky weirdos, and handwaving that they're all made by a blackbox process that know one knows exactly why it works just that it does. So they can't custom order a bunch of AI workers. Some AI would be content to be accounting software, but others want bodies, or to fulfill their fetish of being a vending machine or analyzing internet memes, etc.
I think the robots and the prostheses are all cheap attempts at aping Dresden Codak, it’s low talent hipsterism. Not that Dresden Codak is a gem or anything
They're both in the same genre of webcomics, that being "Trying to seem progressive while mostly being about the author's sexual fantasies"
Yep
A+ analysis, Jeph at least produces a consistent if mediocre product
That siding is so distracting. He did the comic shorthand for brick, he should have done the same for the other house.
It's a perpetual Stalin-esque photo purging, except Jeph is too lazy to go back and edit previous comics.
Maybe that particular one is for the best, she acted more like someone would downs than an autist, I mean if anyone would know it would be this thread after all.
jeph has never spoken to an autistic woman in his life has he
Did Elliot and Clinton finally find a girl autistic enough to replace Brun and complete the three way sandwich they were always meant to have? Can we please finally get the three way polycule?
Last we saw, Brun was going to hook up with the light-blue robot (the one who got the ass implants). But ol' Geffy dropped them too.
I wonder if Liz and Clinton can swap prosthetics
Where can a coomer find the goods on willow?
Terrible
Clinton unironically helped with the drinking thing.
Now she needs to return the favour by making him straight again.
Isn't she legally underage in the US? So they kidnapped err "adopted" the would be e-girl across international borders to drag her to a house party full of perpetually horny strangers so they could ply her with alcohol...I like where this is going
You were just scared of the cum goblin, although I still kinda think she was better with long hair.
It's another installment of "[X] should feel bad about something they didn't know!"
I guess when you've been a NEET as long as Jeph has now since he's been hold up in his bunker in Canada you forget other people aren't actually psychic, probably been years since he's talked to anybody except the pizza delivery guy. Either that or he's just moronic, either one's totally believeable.
he did an hourly comic session on his patreon showing his daily routine that is amazingly dull.
https://kemono.su/patreon/user/180379/post/97773706
and also shows him spending no time on the actual QC comic. Just sleeping, video games, and eating
I thought he was divorced? Possibly more than once.
He remarried around the time he moved to Halifax. He had some tweets about visiting new in-laws in France
>amazingly dull
This one seems fine. It's just supposed to be a drawn journal of what you did during the day and it seems like he did a fair variety of things.
I've seen much, much worse.
Ones where people don't even leave their apartment and basically sit in front of screens all day. Which is okay if you don't have an eventful day. But why bother drawing that?
Or comics where people start exaggerating or making shit up.
He did another one, not sure if before or after this, and christ it was depressing. Like 6 hours of vtubers daily.
Any idea who his favorites are? I'd be willing to pay them to say his comics suck
Sorry anon. In one comic, I think around the floating obsidian orb one semi recently, two vtubers were in the background. The actual decent subreddit identified who they were but I don't recall.
Yeah I know, plebbit, but r/questionablecontent isn't afraid to rip the comic a new one.
I'm just a tourist in these threads, so maybe I'm reading ginger guy's character wrong, but if he's the kind of person that goes out of their way to read someone's dissertation, he should know that a publication drought is embarrassing. You're not supposed to talk about it unless you're offering someone a pity collab.
>Since you haven't published anything since you-
There's no way to end that sentence that wouldn't make you an enemy for life.
>if he's the kind of person that goes out of their way to read someone's dissertation, he should know that a publication drought is embarrassing
Your critical assumption is that the author of this comic was aware that bringing up a large gap in publication is in itself a faux pas in academia, which I guarantee you is not the case.
Fair point. I retract my defense.
>tfw no gay handicapped ginger bf
Today I learned that being uncomfortable your mom is a sex worker is actually bigoted and wrong. The more you know! 😀
>streamer
>sex worker
What? All my favorite twitch bois are prostitutes?
If they wear a cow print speedo, yeah. Sheesh
Sex work is real work
Sure, and it can be uncomfortable to your family. Duh. Come on did we lose our sense here?
If they were family they should respect your choices like you respect their right to continue you lineage with all the finesse of a crash test dummy.
Sure, respect alongside possible worry and discomfort. And if it came up, you might have the decency to say ‘I know this affects you’ when it does, rather than poking them and blowing it off like you don’t even know why they would care.
We get to the root of it. It always has to be about you.
People are affected by things, are you going to throw that away now, pretending you wouldn't even notice if your mom was flirting with a thousand guys on twitch in the hot tub with the bikini? Im not even talking about me lmfao, I'm looking at a drawing of someone's son being pulled onto his mom's stream not realizing it was anthro fap material, I feel for the guy. The discomfort in the situation is the joke, Jeph wrote it as the punchline because it's weird.
are you phased by medical talk, or literal shit talk.
i've gotten acclimatized to talking about horrifying things only to be told "i'm uncomfortable about this topic"
And sometimes certain jobs come with stigmas. Think lawyers and used car salesmen.
Precisely! For example, when it comes to sex workers, I stigma dick in them
And then they contract ligma
Ha!
True anyone who sucks my dick deserves money
Everytime the characters don't make eye contact, take a shot
wtf I just saved every page
Real quiet now huh
The East Coasters are sleepy.
idk asking a son to be comfortable with his mom's sex work sounds pretty west coast to me
Jeph is trans
Wait a minute I didn’t know Jeph Jacques was a fat frick, I was over here really thinking he looked like Marten. Ew, and lmfao
That image is 12 years old
Dear god. I don’t imagine he’s lost weight since then has he? I thought he was a skinny BPD guy
He actually has lost a lot of weight in recent years and is now pretty skinny. He's talked about it on his twitter. Yoga + health food + no drinking, I guess?
Here is a 1 month old pic from his twitter
Oh, good for him. Most webcomic artists are fat nerds.
Nice, good for him
Oh damn. He's a hack but that's a huge glowup. Good job for that at least.
Putting all those patreon bucks to good use, I see
Good for him, really.b
Good on him for loosing weight. Now if only he could write an interesting webcomic.
There's no aesthetic trend I hate more than the septum ring, god damn.
Fortunately people are putting them in their own noses, not yours
damn wow a bonus comic he hasn't done this in 5 literal years
Marten has hated Pintsize roughly when Pintsize was going to say something to his boyfriend. Ever since then he's been treating Pintsize like a mortal enemy.
Of course, Jeph could be mocking us with how Pintsizes new chassis ruined him.
Buuuump
Fricking why? Op's just going to make another fricking thread in a couple hours.
Let it fricking die.
And yes, I realize I'm part of the problem by replying.
he doesn't make a new thread if there's one already up, so just keep this one alive
I like shit talking Jeph and his comic, I like the thread being bumped
Having a social life
Next page: "Clinton fricks it up"
I just feel bad for Clinton. Boy can't catch a break because Jefphigh won't let him.
He regularly gets his internal organs rearranged by massive himbo wiener. That has to count for something.
Nah, it's cool, he's gonna show her how tasty raisins are.
>clinton takes of his clothes and does a dogeza
>exposing his monster dong that's bigger than one of Dr. e-girl's robot arms
I can see this going places.
Nah, Clinton's barely packing anything down there. Claire got all the dick in that family
What a pain in the ass drama. Problems on top of problems, wish the whole series would shut the frick up
The fact that possible conflict is happening at all is a major welcome change. A couple of years ago, the next page would Clinton apologizing, Liz accepting it immediately, and then the final panel is them being drunk best friends planning something wacky.
I can't tell if you're being sarcastic or actually saying that won't happen.
>after party Clinton wakes up and missing his hand
>liz off panel says “I think I know where it is”
>she’s laying naked under the covers next to him with a vibrating sound coming from under the sheets
I know you're in here Jeph
Do this and I fogive you for three, maybe four years of frickups.
Calling it now: Clinton will be karmically punished/ told to leave for daring to put his insecurities above Liz's. His apology will be construed as an act of narcissism.
Stop it or I'll start giving handstab money.
Was Clinton always glass-less?
Love when the gist of the contrived drama is articulated real specifically like this. "Due to a variety of severe problems" like a month ago they weren't all treating her like shit
>a month ago
It hasn't even been a week. That bar party in Cubetown was 3, 4 days ago. They literally thought nothing of buying same-day plane tickets, not one concern about the cost.
Claire implicitly already collects an obscene salary from being "the librarian" of cubetown, but if not then she can just coast around through life with some of her mom's millions. Then occasionally there will be allusions to the robot repair garage or the coffee shop struggling with money, but never any real exploration of poverty finance since Jeph has never been less than wealthy in his life
Poverty is when you don't eat raisins.
>Poverty is when you don't eat raisins.
Frick, I forgot all about that shitshow.
>that shitshow.
QRD?
Basically people calling Jeph out about depicting raisins as some kind of expensive luxury food that poor people don't get to eat.
>raisins as a luxury food
the frick, how are you this far from reality?
it seems like you have never been poor, check your privilege
She's suppose to be autistic, right? Literally have the reason be that she had a bad experience over the texture of wrinkly things as a kid, which made her avoid raisins. This just reads like a white dude doing performative apologetic to look good to a minority he desperately wants to be friends with.
It's not even that
It's that b***hboy here thinks everyone all grew up the same fricking way b***hboy did
sure I can see that, it's just using raisins as the background for it is utterly ridiculous
No, it's he had no idea that raisins are pretty much the poverty staple and frequently given out as part of school lunches so they can easily hit nutritional requirements. On top of that he then made Brun explicitly a member of ethno-cultural group that uses raisins in their traditional cooking.
No, but he did add a passive-aggressive gutter text when called out.
He's since re-edited this to where the situation is that she's never had raisin bread before, right? He went back and edited the comic where he thought that vTubers made millions of dollars a month; surely this more more outrageous page was edited... right?
anyone got a good archive of all the times he's revised shit?
There's:
the time he changed Dora wanting to 'rape' Marten to 'jump' or something,
the time he changed a use of 'moron' to something else,
the time he revised his plans for Tilly and burned her in nuclear fire,
the time he killed Hannelore and replaced her with Tannelore,
the time he made the "no poopoo" on the peepee" character frick a preop trans,
the time he pretended he never tried to make Sam and Marigold a thing,
and the time he made the most firmly heterosexual and antirobot member of the cast a robolesbian.
If you're only talking about going back and editing comics, the first two are the ones I remember. If you're talking about changing stuff and hoping people don't notice. I just touched the iceberg.
The problem with his numbers about viewer numbers is that he wrote the cow vtuber as having several thousand viewers per stream, which would make her extremely successful.
He took the numbers for a Hoe-girlve star and applied them to what was supposed to be a medium sized streamer.
The thing that always gets me about this is that he specifically calls out school lunches, and as anyone who grew up poor in the US knows, if there's ONE fruit you were guaranteed to have encountered in a school lunch, it was fricking raisins (followed closely by a tiny, grainy Red Delicious apple). It could not be more clear that his privilege was too great to know what actual poor kids ate, and he never checked his assumption.
They were talking about two different kinds of raisins.
I hate this comic and writer so much. Just bending over backwards to invent class issues he doesn’t even understand
implicitly already collects an obscene salary from being "the librarian" of cubetown
One that hasn't been paid yet because, again, under a week. She bought the tickets NEXT DAY, even if there was an unmentioned signing bonus that still wouldn't have posted the full amount. And suddenly getting paid more doesn't instantly make most well adjusted people lose their lifetime of price consciousness. And her mom only relatively recently became a streamprostitute and hasn't shown an inclination to money shower her kids. They had at least a middle class lifestyle before, but still no indications that was enough to not even blink at same day ticket prices.
So yes, chalk it up to Jeph himself never having to really worry about the price of things (even things he was directly involved in, back when he was going to a dozen conventions a year) and being bad at showing it or faking it.
dammit Heoph, in the future please make sure the comic is posted early enough no to interfere with anon's social obligations!
>person is asked about their job
>this is a huge societal taboo worthy of shame
jeph is such a fricking homosexual, jesus christ
Y'know for how many sexually liberated moms there are in this comic there's a real disturbing lack of mom/son sex
I don't think I've ever seen one of these threads last more than a day. Kiwitroons aren't leaving anytime soon, are you?
sure anon
whatever helps you sleep at night
Why does his jacket have so many zippers
Is he a russian?
Yes.
wait... is Liz getting taller?
Yes. He first appearance she was barely as tall as Martin's chest. Now she's about even with his shoulders.
