Seabreeze No!
a thousand beaks, a million talons, ten billion eyes. RIP Ms. Beakman, you beautiful bird

I approve of the idea that the only competition for Cubetown is in New Zealand (although IMHO Stewart Island would make a better site than Auckland).
I love the little background vignette/ministories. Deliciously distracting/disturbing.
I came in on the Faye thirst trap but I'm staying for the ability to comment on the comic!! Oh my god the degree of absolute mcelroy-pilled I was 5-10 years ago, I tried to explain even a small part of this to my wife and got nowhere 😂
Poor Regret, getting accosted by seagulls. : (
God, I love Emily’s updated character design.
Macawnaghy? Really? Hmm, must some sort of late St Patrick’s Day joke.
I'm glad I'm not the only one with Nuzlocke bits floating around in their head. "I'm going to Pokemon after my dad. *Names Druddigon "My dad"* That's a stupid joke."
Which gave us "My Dad just kicked Snorlax's ass, just like in all my fan fiction."
Seabreeze will always return to you.
omg griffin nuzlocke❤️ based
Love today's backgrounds, Jeph
Obligatory "New Zealand Mentioned!" post. The AIAC ain't all it's cracked up to be honestly.
Ah! Did we all see Beakman with Captain Disillusion? Good stuff!
We’ve feral parrots in the Basin & the Valley of Death. The OGs escaped from Busch Gardens Bird Show and adapted …
Another genius but this one has social skills. Will this be good for Liz or her total undoing?
Yep
There's a Beakman's world joke in there somewhere.
Fuck man, way to bring the '90s BLASTING back into my brain. I haven't thought about Beakman's World in like....awhile
Hanners tried to warn you, Marten. Parrots can NOT be trusted. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1367
Hannerlore would have not like Auckland then.
I feel very seen… working at a research institute, in Auckland. No parrots tho, it’s the magpies you need to watch out for.
You gotta keep an eye on them. (mistyped "in" at first, tempted to keep it, but that would've been too on the nose)
Violence and Regret are under attack! SOMEONE HELP THEM
Help them? THAT is a SEAGULL. I shall, instead, survive Monty Python fashion: RUN AWAY! RUN AWAY!
What's the deal with airline peanuts? They keep parrots from biting you.
One by one, they're all moving to Cubetown. Steve's probably already there, drowning in the ecstasy that is Canadian breakfast cereal.
I bet Dr. Nature is Canadian. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4802
The seagulls are doing scouting forays against Regret and Violence because of their explosions. The upcoming war is inevitable.
The war will not end until Violence and Regret apologize and start throwing out peanuts wherever they go.
"They didnt got after anyone else. Just me."
New Zealand: home to both the world's smartest and stupidest parrots.
o.o
Oh Emily, we missed you. ☺️
You gotta watch out for those kea, man. They'll fuck your shit up.
I want to read "Emily in Aotearoa"!
Me too!
We do have some wilk lorakeets here in Auckland but it's the magpie's that you gotta watch out for!
So I thought Emily was a physicists, not a computer science expert? And is her computer scientist expertise different from Clinton’s speciality? (Which would make it better that Clinton didn’t end up dating Emily.)
They were in a class together -- now let me see if I an pull a Bookbeard and find a link
So NOBODY is going to comment on Violence and Regret getting Alfred Hitchcocked in the background?
I think Jeph himself did.
So you're saying that there was a parrot that worked on the Titanic and it's common knowledge because of one of the parrot's owner's elatives is a famous podcaster/pokemon streamer who I found out about from questionable content? Yeah that's one way that information could be found.
Of course, I can think of someone else who found an interesting diversion from computer science: https://www.gocomics.com/bloomcounty/1984/05/16
Kea are just like that..
I though an OverSeer was the head person at a Prophecy Academy.
At least she didn't get humped by a kakapo.
I saw a video of a photographer getting humped by such a bird with Stephen Fry as a witness.
Ah, flying rats with no fear or shits. Except the ones they leave behind
In Dr. Seabreeze's defense, the twins have probably blown up a few of her nests during their loud booming party shenanigans...
And then there was the Alka-Seltzer Incident...
The keas must have mistaken her for a parked car.
And if not for Marten's comprehensive training regimen she never would have learned the dodging skills needed to survive those parrot attacks. Truly, he made her the scientist she is today! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2212
Maybe Emily looked in the black bin and that's how she became so… Emily.
Wild parrots? In AUCKLAND? What alternative Aotearoa are you cooking there, Jeff? (Are they robot parrots?) We have marauding parrots in Wellington — kaka, the less destructive cousins of the kea — because in Wellington we have a major mainland bird sanctuary. Auckland’s one is offshore, and also has no parrots.
You know, now that I think about it, my third broken nose DID change it's shape. It's the opposite of Emily's though. Her nose looks like my family nose where my new one is smaller than before. Sometimes it's weird when I look in the mirror and the face staring back at me doesn't match my self-image.
Not to be confused with the Auckland Association Advancing Aeronautic Computational Kites. More commonly known as AAAACK!
Did they try on a lot of bathing suits, unsuccessfully?
Wow. The Jeph really took off soaring with the puns in this one!
A McElroy reference in my QC posts?!?! What's happening?
You, uh, might get attacked by seagulls, Emily.
Keep her away from Experimental Avionics at all costs. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5069
The "wild" parrots were Kea and they were trying to "acquire" devices for a Lan party
Marten is to overseer as parrot is to research institute
Damn, that is a deep McElroy reference!!
Right?! That Nuzlocke is over a decade old at this point.
I love where this is heading
Can't give flight peanuts to parrots! The salt's not good for them! Emily, no.
if you open those at sea level they'll cause the peanutocalypse
Seagulls don't care if you are android or human, your chips are fair game
Seagulls are basically giant roaches with feathers. They are everywhere, there are always more of them than you think, and ALL food is fair game, as far as they are concerned.
Because of COURSE the even weirder place would be in Oz.....
We might claim several kiwis, but we do grant that it's a separate country :D
Seabreeze, YES!
