it felt weird writing sam using swears

Sure, cock and twat might be dirty words instead of swear words, but both were on Carlin's list (granted twat was on the first amendment to Carlin's list but still).
OK. I'm confused now. I thought the Incident was the origin of Grim Samantha. But apparently it just happened.
Looking at the difference between Wedding GS and Post-Incident GS, it may have been "just a phase" before, but now this shit just got real.
I hope this doesn't create conflict between Faye and Bubbles.
No more so than when Bubbles was deemed the only "responsible adult" because Faye took her eyes off Sam while she was using power tools and Sam burred her fingernail off.
You think Sam knows about Veronica's old job? I mean, she is the QC world's Queen of Gothiness.
She’s seen the contents of some of Veronica’s luggage, and I think she said that Veronica wasn’t allowed to turn her bedroom into a sex dungeon. She must have the general idea.

This is so fucking funny!
Blink 182 wrote short song about profanity atleast once.... 😅🤦♀️

To be CUNTinued...
Oh the extremely inappropriate cuteness!
Where did Sam swear in the fist two panels?
Panel 2, Sam called the people they fought with "Assholes".
Well, duh
Sam's dialogue in this feels so 15 years old to me - I was probably exactly like that. Beautiful.
Hey! I think I found the hold that Emmett was using during that fight for which they were suspended. :) https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2184
Ooh, so Emmett didn’t learn this from that robot Zamboni guy back in hockeyville, New Brunswick, Canada. It’s true love!
Not Bubbles being jealous of Sam
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but is Samantha is supposed to be about 15 years old? Because I believe she actually made her first appearance in 2011, which would be 15 years ago.
That's the beauty of sliding time scales
I knew a replacement for Yelling Bird would surface eventually.
Yelling Bird's place in the QC pantheon has been usurped by Swearmaster Master of Swears.
*George Carlin has entered the chat...somehow*
He did have access to time travel technology.
Sam was just trying to tell you about her friend Effin Cox-Ucker.
Of the Fucksburg Cox-Uckers? A fine old Montana family. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3984
holy shit
Oh this is just bloody glorious! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I honestly dunno why, but making jokes about the social appropriateness of swearing always cracks me up. Haven't laughed this hard since I heard "The Critics" by Derek and Clive (aka Peter Cook and Dudley Moore). 🤣🤣🤣 (maybe it's because I'm Australian 😂😂 We do have a certain creative flair for it, and it comes naturally as breathing)
You guys say bloody too? High five o/\o
*Sniff sniff* (wipes a tear from my eye) They grow up so fast!
Faye has been the cool adult ever since she let Sam use power tools, imo.
She earned the cool adult label with her chaotic good babysitting technique long before they got to the power tools. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2176
Is Jeph going to have to impose a bongo filter on us here now? (DYW on DoA's comments has a filter that replaces a certain word with "bongo" because too many people were using that word, which technically refers to a female dog but was being used as derogatory term for women.)
Australian govt will undoubtedly prevent 16yo's from reading Jephs site though.
the cool is in the choosing. right is a different question altogether
Faye to the rescue. (Poor Bubbles. Her face in the last panel.)
If they had a lesbian detective agency, Faye would be bad cop and Bubbles the good cop, ironically.
Bubbles should see a therapist: King George VI: F***. F***! F***, f***, f*** and f***! F***, f*** and bugger! Bugger, bugger, buggerty buggerty buggerty, f***, f***, arse! Lionel Logue: Yes... King George VI: Balls, balls... Lionel Logue: You see, not a hesitation! King George VI: ...f***ity, sh*t, sh*t, f*** and willy. Willy, sh*t and f*** and... tits. -The King’s Speech
Reminds me of “Grrl Power” where Halo’s main power previously before her dragon balls abilities being used was swearing like a nuclear weapon combined with a banshee & being resistant to the effects of many ghost peppers and other high Scoville levels of spices.
"Shit piss fuck cunt cocksucker motherfucker tits fart turd and twat" I just realized that album is a quarter century old...only a little older than the comic. Dang.
Motherfuck, motherfuck, noidge noidge nodige
Sam's breaking out the heavy guns in the last panel there.
I bet Hannelore knows some super space-princess swears that normal heiresses haven't even heard of.
The one time she swore was at Faye and even Pintsize and Winslow was terrified like Hanners had set off a verbal nuke.
How many strips are we (*cough* Bookbeard *cough*) from when she called out Marten to his mom about swearing?
854, but who's counting? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4902
C'mon Bubs, let loose and drop a couple f-bombs! It's cathartic!
Bubbles has extensive training on the proper handling and deployment of f-bombs, s-bombs and all other forms of expletive ordnance.
Well, I never heard language like this when I was a sailor in the US Navy. But it does make me want to ship someone with someone else.
Twock! Coat! Wait no
Lord Beaverton donned his twock coat and left the room.
I love the verb "blair witchin' ."
I know a few peeps who spew "She's a cock!" and "He's a twat!" to epithetize at deserving targets. The Brits, of course, have a couple others we don't use much over this side of the fuckin' Pond.
pretty sure Blair Witch is older than Faye is supposed to be.
Until there's confirmation otherwise, it's something like 2008 in the comic right now. Source: Dora went to high school during the 90s, which firmly places the start of the story somewhere close to when the comic actually started.
COCK! Damn. It just doesn't feel as transgressive when I do it.
WHO LET THIS TWATWALRUS BACK IN HERE
Those last two panels are absolutely vintage QC.
For some reason this reminds me of summer camp as a kid.
They grow up so fast
I mean, she *can* swear, but she has to do it quietly. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4962
I imagine Bubbles speaks like she’s from Portland, Maine and not from Boston.
“Shit motherfucker ass tits cunt cock motherfucker” -Sam (but actually Reggie Watts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJQU22Ttpwc)
She's almost collected the seven words you can't say on TV.
If Bubbles swears she'll swear like a cowboy, pardner.
Obligatory: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4287
She's already swearing at a homeschooled college frosh level! (ETA: I mean Sam. Who knows when Bubbles will achieve this?) https://www.dumbingofage.com/comic/malfunction/
I wonder if either Bubbles or Faye will be keeping count. (might be emmett who keeps count)
If only I was 15, fictional, and not like actually turning 51 tomorrow (on Snow Moon day – the name of the full moon on 1 February) I would love Sam more. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to see if Costco has Depends in bulk along with two crates of prune juice.
Don't forget the supersized jar of OTC pain meds for your knees and back.
Yeah, that was a situation just waiting for Faye to walk into it, wasn’t it?
Faye has long been Sam's Cool Adult.
Somehow I can only imagine Bubbles doing incorrect mashup swears. Like Castiel
Actually, when Bubbles swears, it's simply adorable 😂😂: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3255
Bubbles says fart, that's her worst naughty word.
I beg to differ: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3255
Ah, but does she pronounce twat correctly? To rhyme with hat, not robot.
But then twat swat doesn't work
