QC Rerun Time 2025: mawwiage
There have been a few weddings in the strip, haven't there? I mean I guess it is one of the main cultural events. I should check in with Marten's mom at some point when I get back from this "break" (I've been working most of the time). Is Sam still goth? Is Emmett still a hopeless goober? These are questions which demand answers.

Who doesn't love a well researched argument?
Emmett's role in the strip is very close to Mouse's role in Pogo. Mouse is not as cute, and his ridiculous stories are longer and have more wordplay. Which would make Sam the Snavely of QC.
Speaking of Henry & Maurice, fun fact about how I found and started reading QC: I got introduced to xkcd in college (I'm an engineer, so of course we all adored it), and one day in 2009, on the day they shut Geocities down, Randall made the xkcd page look like an old Geocities web page in its honor. While scrolling through and appreciating everything on that page, I noticed the link to QC that he had apparently always had there but I'd never noticed before. The strip that was up that day was the one where Henry proposed to Maurice! Not long after, I read through the whole thing and I've been following it ever since!
As a side note, that was a pretty epic xkcd.
EMMETT MENTION ❤️❤️❤️
I somehow have absolutely no memory of this situation at all. Based on the date this would be right around when I started and read everything at once so I guess it’s lost in the blur?
This is when Marten was attending his dad's wedding to Maurice, and brought Claire along as his "plus one" even though they were still just friends. If you remember anything about this storyline, I'm guessing it would be the part where Claire fell asleep glommed on to Marten, and he just let her sleep like that because he didn't want to disturb her, then she moved back to her bed during the night, and in the morning they were both going ??? did that actually happen or was it a weird dream ??? and feeling too awkward to ask the other about it.
Trick question, Emmet will always be a hopeless goober. It's why we love them.
Truth.
Grim Samantha (Grimantha) and DarK Emmet (Darmet) gives us the Good Ship Grimmest, Jeph! We need to see them!
Looking forward to the answers!
Moar Emmett!!
Next mawwiage: Sam and Emmett do a goth wedding. (yes they're still underage) And Sam's Father flips out mightily.
"These are questions which demand answers." DEMAND, we say! But for real, we haven't checked in on that side of the QC family for a while, it would be nice to see what they're up to.
They're having some sort of fancy cereal tasting event, with Steve as the host and whatever the cereal equivalent of a sommelier is.
I think it would be hilarious if Emmitt is so goth that they get hired as a model for Hot Topic and Sam gets a bit jealous about that, but only a bit. Their relationship grows.
Is Hot Topic still into goth? I thought they were mostly selling mediacon and comiccon stuff ... anime, funkos, cosplay stuff, etc.
It's just a matter of time before we have another wedding. The only question is whether Claire will be able to convince Marten to wear the matrimonial corset. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3158
Previous strip: Claire's coffee cup is still in the air to this day.
goo-BER! goo-BER!
THE PEOPLE DEMAND ANSWERS!!!
At this point for us to be satisfied with plot we need 3 concurrently run comics over multiple years, Martin's mom and co, coffee of doom, and cubetown Only way I see us to Schultz it, and turn it into a company to churn it out, and we have no chance of that happening and still keep the vibe
Obviously we need to do a brainscan of Jeph and play the tape into half a dozen AnthroPC bodies. (Like in the Walter Jon Williams SF story.)
Marten's expression in panel 5. 😂
Are Emmett and Sam ever going to get together? I DEMAND ANSWERS. Ahem. Sorry. Carry on, nothing to see here.
I used to definitely ship them but now I have concerns that them getting together would be bad because it may destroy the universe from excessive cuteness!
This is one of my favorite strips. That sudden reveal in panel six is Hilarious! And yes, we miss Veronica & Sam. It will be nice to catch up with them, eventually.
Wait… have we seen Marten’s dad since this wedding? 🤔
No.
Hmm... How many weddings? * Two Dads * Dora and Tai ... Were there any others?
Wondering if Veronica and Jim feel any interest in getting married. No pressure on them (as they're fictional characters and all).
yess more sam, I love that chaos goblin
This bwessed event…..
This notifawcation is what bwings us togethah today.
If Emmet isn't still a goober THERE WILL BE CHAOS IN THE STREETS!
Which would you rather: Emmet still be a goober, or Emmet and Sam actually being a couple? (Yes, obviously both would be ideal but if you HAD to pick one.)
weddings as performance art. [chef's kiss]
twuuuu wuv
iv what bwingvvs us ... togevvaah!
