Questionable Content thread

Well it took two strips to get to a joke.....

Yesterday's strip.

>Scented candle
>When we know smells are like drugs to AIs

Is the former cop really asking two shady repairmen for some crack?

Foot fetish
Lezbots
Tsundere cops
I don't want this to go there. Muh fetish shouldn't be here

hngg

this is literally a porn movie setup isn't it

we can only hope

Corpse witch was bae

Faye needs to work on her bedside manner, I guess.

>There's something a *little disturbing* about seeing your *limbs detached*, okay?
Maybe it's just me, but I feel like these could work without explicitly referring to the AI aspect. It feels like AI are constantly talking about how they're AIs. We know that and the characters know, why bring it up?

Can't we get from the subtext (really the text because she's a brightly coloured machine) that Faye is incredulous because she's a robot and the cop is disturbed but it's surprising?

Are their noses growing as Faye gets thinner?

I don't get it.
I don't get either of them.

Are these meant to be funny?
Am I retarded?
I'm very confused, somebody please explain.

>Am I retarded?
Yes
Yes you are

>panel 1 says click click
>at first I thought it said cuck cuck

...

Okay we cleared that up, but what's the joke?

I would really like it if some artist who was halfway-decent drew Faye even fatter than she is in the comic. I would really like some decent-quality fat Faye.

>Faye
>decent quality

What doe robot feet smell like? Haha, just asking for a friend.

The joke is

The more time that goes by, the more embarrassing the art becomes.
How can you still be so shit? This is not what ten years of practice looks like

Bubbles is always prepared when romance is... afoot.

>Are these meant to be funny?
Yes
>Am I retarded?
Only if you find them funny

SJW's have LOW standards.

Jeph Hacks is the Jim Davis of webcomics

Yeah, but he should have accidentally gotten at least a little bit less shit as time goes on. He got better in the first 4 years, then stagnated while still terrible.
I'm not someone who ever thought QC wasn't shit, but some of the older art at least had some life in it. This just looks empty.

Compounding all of this is the fact that he's not innovated whatsoever. The only bits of his comic that look somewhat passable, if you forget that this is not a beginner's comic, are the bits he's been drawing for 14 years, i.e. people standing in 3/4th profile at half length. Alice Grove, or whatever, shows that anything that attempts to stray from that regresses severely.
The man must never draw outside of QC. It's absolutely fascinating to wonder at.

I haven't read this shit in years. I left off with the main character hooking up with the nerdy tranny. How did that turn out?

Since Jeph can't write functional relationships, as he can only "write" hooking up and breaking up, they've been relegated to background characters.
He can't break them up, because Tumblr will force him to crucify himself

So who are the main characters now? The fat chick and the neurotic blonde?

Still together
Still boring

It's kind of more of an ensemble now. It shifts between Claire's brother, who kind of became Mertin's clone with his own Bakery/Coffee shop crew, Faye and the Robots, and Some new chick who overlaps with Claire's brother.

I don't actually read it, just these threads. Marten and Claire basically just show up to react to someone else being wacky. They'll always be cuddling or something to show Tumblr that this man/MTF relationship is totally kawaii and drama free.

Well that sounds amazingly lame. Sounds like their is zero reason to jump back into it.

Unless the multicolored... things are still around. I can't remember shit about them aside from the green female one that killed her friends. They were kinda funny.

Jeph has to constantly tell us their AIs because otherwise they're just pink and blue people.

I mean, he's a busy guy, he can't be bothered drawing things that make them convincingly look like robots or anything. Have some respect.

>Sounds like their is zero reason to jump back into it
There was never any reason to read it in the first place

Asking her "do you want it fixed or not" is actually a decent reaction to a "two former criminals operating on me while i'm uncoscious" from Faye.
I'd say GTFO.
Also, question her statement about police mechanic being a dick.

If you haven't realized by now that Jacques hates his job and that job is drawing this comic, there's something wrong with you.

How the fuck could you hate this? Making a garbage comic in an hour would be a fucking dream.
If he weren't such a lazy cunt, he could make like 30 comics in 2 days, and have a buffer.

Jeph is the one Comic maker who I wish would just stop and coast on Patreon gibs.

There are plenty of cases where people earning a lot of money in an easy way are unhappy with their lives.

> Also, question her statement about police mechanic being a dick.

Union job, probably being made to fix a variety of models for shit pay.

Consistency. He consistently comes out with content. 'Crappy' content that's abundant sort of beats out better content with less abundance/convenience.

Is his story.art bad? Depends on the person making the opinion. But if you think it's bad then at least it's consistently bad and people that like his story/art have little reason to stop liking it.

>No toes

Then what is even the point of having humanoid feet? Either go full simulationist or have awesome rocket legs.

find the peak, you'll notice it was before the halfway point of the comic so far

The problem with these jokes is not just the standard American punchline-orientated humour, it is worse. It's got a punchline and then a less funny post-punchline. This comic sticks to that formula. It's bad. The last one or two speech bubbles can ALWAYS be removed for a less shit comic.

>Am I retarded?
no you sweet child you aren't retarded
you're autistic

>standard American punchline-orientated humour

I don't think he thought that far ahead user.

user we only play checkers while he plays 3D vocaloid fleshlight simulators waiting to become the little girl.

Joke?
Joke??
WHAT joke?
This is at least slightly funny, with biofeedback and stuff.

I now wanna see the robot cop have her feet mercilessly tickled.

This had better happen.

based USA working big daddy UK into a shoot

I want t\her to get an upgrade to having toes so they can be sucked

Jeph claims to have a buffer but it's obviously not true given his haphazard upload schedule and obvious rapid reacting to negative feedback. Though, he may have a limited supply of filler "zany" cutaways like "Hanners musters the courage to switch vacuum bags and almost says a bad word."

The problem is Jeph is fundamentally lazy and has never faced his demons. Before moving to QC full time he whined at length about the soul crushing entry level job he had, which he worked for a few months after college, before he stumbled into merch and con riches. I think you could put this guy in any environment and he'd find a way to be unfulfilled.

I always pinned "the breakup" of being the decline of this comic. Funny that's when the art began noticeably declining as well. All the way back to 2010-11. Wow. This thing may end up giving Garfield and Zombie Simpsons a run for their money.

>The last one or two speech bubbles can ALWAYS be removed for a less shit comic.
This is because Jeph needlessly boxes himself into a rigid format and formula as if after 15 years some newspaper is finally going to pick up QC. The man is incapable of laying out his panels in a way that tells the story. Instead he forces the story to fill exactly four symmetrical panels.

It's been about 10 years since I read this comic. Is QC no longer about hipsters and their coffee shop? Is it all about the Fetish Robots now?

Fetish robots, inaccurate scientific facts, and "muh privilege".

SJW Pandering pretty much.

oh there's a second coffee shop now.

>Jeph claims to have a buffer but it's obviously not true given his haphazard upload schedule and obvious rapid reacting to negative feedback
Yeah, this is my beef with his buffer claims. Any time something goes wrong in the fandom, there's always a 180 degree turn next strip. He obviously reacts to harsh criticism on a moment to moment basis.

Adding to that, the only times where he ever seems to have an automatic upload is when he goes to cons or something, and when that happens, he invariably forgets to make a strip for the day he returns, forcing him to rush something out.

It's clear that he draws everything the day of the upload. He may have certain scripts done, but even that's pushing it

he has a one day "buffer" because patron donators get the comic a day early, see also, bless patron user, I haven't made a QC thread in months nor had to visit Stabby's website

Then refer to the chassis. Jeph's at least got enough clue to make clear the AI characters recognize the bodies are disposable and transient.

Even that's relatively new, though, isn't it? That's a pretty recent Patreon bonus that he copied from Willis.
Jeph also apparently never does a cursory pass at his comic, either, because there are often glaring mistakes.

My favorite one will always be the original "You're beautiful" strip where Marten was in a featureless blue Cube, before Jeph did some 20 second MS Paint touch ups. If you zoom in, there's dead pixels where the bucket tool couldn't reach. It's hilarious.

A part of me is irked that he makes so much money, instead of competent Webcomickers like Ashley Cope, but I find solace that he's stuck with this garbage forever.

I think he wanted his shitty band to overtake QC, but that failed. I'm happy that he's damned to a perdition of his own making

>Ashley Cope
Pedophile.

What, has she had some Drama or something?
I don't actually read Unsounded, not really my thing, but she's a good artist who keeps a good schedule.

I don't need to read it either to know it's pedoshit. The main characters are an old guy and little girl.
I don't need to see shit to know it stinks.

I'm glad you decided all on your own to not interact with a thing I like.
Your absence improves the community.

It's about two sets of coffeeshops, hipsters, and fetishbots? Sounds like I had the right idea about not reading it.

I'll be in the threads calling out and reporting pedophiles when I see them.
I bet the threads are full of sexualization and garbage.

I'm glad all it took was a single post to get you to commit to all that work.
I wonder if this is how businessmen feel.

I bet you're a pedophile.

That's the spirit.

Apologize. Call your mother and apologize to her for what you have become.

My phone is dead. Could you give her a ring? That's (248) 434-5508
Thanks, user.

That's not her number, I looked it up. It's an old reddit meme.
Why are redditors all pedophiles?

He meant 867 5309. Her name is Jenny.

buddy that's not even getting into whatever you call a relationship between two dudes and a chick where they want to fuck and not fuck in order to respect their boundaries but be gay but not gay but not bi-sexual either. it's called poly something.

It's almost as fucking weird as that other sex webcomic where the person wrote about how to make a threeway contract and differentiate between "grope" and "slap" and "cuddle."

but who can I turn to for the price of a dime? Jenny?

How come we never discuss the best character in QC?

Wrong guest strip.

More please.

>shut it down

Marten doesn't have balls

>momo was 2011

fucking hell, just kill me

Yeah, There has been negligible change since 2010, and what change there has been is the art getting worse. He started out incompetent, got sub-mediocre, and then got worse.

It's shocking

Is it wrong that I think Swaggy is kind of hot?

>It's psychosomatic

That bot needs therapy

Why wouldn't Ted just rape Claire? He'd find out that way.

Fuck man I just realised I've been reading this for over ten years. Time moves too quickly.

>only a decade
fucking pussy newfag

What does that mean?

I think you're mixing up your shitty. webcomics. It sounds like you're talking about CAD

Need liquid mark to make fan art of faye and bubbles molesting copbot in sleep mode.

I want to fuck that puppet

bubbles was wearing clothes like two strips before this

I think I remember her saying that she only wears the regular clothes in addition to her onesie-thing when she's out and about in public.

Though, I could be wrong and Hacks is just hacking it up.

New strip!

Bubbles doesn't sparkle. TEH HORROR!!!

Robo-lesbian threesome WHEN?
Also be digits.

Why would an AI not be the brains?
Even ignoring that Faye has never shown to be particularly smart.

>this comic

she has that mechanic-mind bullshit but she's pretty dumb outside that

So is this like the tranny "you have to accept whatever delusions I have about myself or you're a nazi" thing?

Does she though? It's really only been established that she knows welding and not as a mechanical trade e.g. engine blocks but for art piece metal sculpturing. I guess she learned some tricks of the trade at the robot fight club but she has, what, 6 months experience at most?

if you'd read the earlier shit, you would know that she's a mechanical wizard and can make all sorts of stuff
