Poor Faye
I can't believe Faye didn't deck her. Faye really is developing self-control!
Well, now I've got Antihero stuck in my head. x.x
Wonderful timing on this one, Jeph. And much appreciated/validating - this weekend was rough for those of us with shitty and/or dead fathers.
Chillllllll Faye, you got this <3 you've come -so far-
oh that stubble is gonna itch...
Scratching it feels so good though...
One hopes Faye can achieve closure with her dad in dreams that lead to creativity and hope.
Yeah. Achieving control over dreams is not easy at times.
Aw Faye :(
Ah...trauma dumping, yeah, I get grumpy when I have those moments, too.
If Swift doesn't write a mean song about this comic I'm going to be disappointed in both her and Jeph, but for like, markedly different reasons.
Oh, snap. She threw the spirit bomb.
Even if she didn’t have bad dreams I’m not shocked Faye is grumpier than usual considering one of the first things she saw this morning was unobstructed Anh-hole
Anyone besides me wonder what Dora and Tai are up to? How about Marigold and Dale? Momo and Roko, other than as a foil to Yay? What in hell ever became of Pintsize? Okay, I'm grumpy, I am tired of Anh and Liz, they are both pills. So there.
Be careful what you wish for. The status of the now wealthy and happy Marigold commune, and the happy couple of Dora and Tai is that things are going well. If we were to visit their corners that would mean there was some kind of DRAMA and that can be dangerous. In a related note, I'm so happy for the Cubetown move, in that it gives us a chance to see Marten and Claire as a functional, working, happy couple who support each other and others, so we don't need their relationship to be the main source of drama, it can be the weirdos they deal with living and working in Cubetown. One of the things I crave in media is just a power couple that works. Good friends, good to each other, living life in a world. But that's not dramatic, it's hard to make that a good story.
Personally I have recurring dreams about tsunamis. The location, dream context and size of the wave differs, but the wave is always there, ready to overwhelm everything.
🙁
I mean on the plus side, Jeph's about to achieve immortality of a sort
Hanners has had some weird dreams, too. "I'm DJ phalliz and I'm here to say Kill your friends Kill them with a knife" I think that's approximately right, anyway.
Well sure, but we all have that dream, don't we? Anybody? Just me? Oh... https://web.archive.org/web/20260326175347/https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1171
I mean, we knew Anh was trouble when she walked in...
Whoa there. You need to calm down.
Anhti-Hero
THIS COMMENT DESERVES MORE ATTENTION
Anh the problem; it’s her.
You know what they say, no such thing as bad press.
That night, Faye has a dream where her father is wearing the same dress as Taylor Swift.
The song that Tay Tay writes about it is absolutely *devastating*.
I'm still trying to adjust to Anh without her Anhoge.
My headcanon? The Anhogie is in the shop, hiding, biding it's time, and building it's forces, one buttfor at a time.
😂
Love the timing of Faye's dad getting a shout out on Father's Day lol
Oof, yeah. Tough day for Faye.
I really like Faye’s trauma being revisited in this way. Like she’s kinda an unwilling mentor to this tone deaf wackadoo and it’s making her reflect on her journey. It shows growth.
"If you could see that I'm the one who now owns you You tried here all wrong, so why can't you see? My dress is all me; yours is just crappy."
Decortage is worth a buck fifty in Scrabble money.
I doubt it; that’s a proper noun, far as I can determine. (A Malaysian furniture manufacturer.) “Decolletage” would be quite a power move if you could play it, but is a little short on high-value letters.
Technically, Anh is showing more of her ass than usual this morning.
But where did Taylor get the dress? Was it the dress store? I hear they sell dresses. https://web.archive.org/web/20260501053902/https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5414
wow, that really shows how the eyebrows "hit different" with/without the hair
Taylor Swift is a mediocre white woman propped up entirely by a billion other mediocre white women.
If you have a billion of anything, collectively, can you describe them as mediocre anymore?
I feel like you would like that... like, a lot....
One can't become a billionaire without exploiting the working class, so honestly, any dream with Taylor Swift is automatically horrible in my opinion.
You mean Ennui Go! couldn't happen in real life??
Faye has about the most severe variant akin to "I need to run to save somebody (perhaps me) but my feet are not moving!" and I wake up with a blanket wrapped around my legs.
I remember as a kid having occasional dreams where I'm trying to say something, but I'm either mute or it wavers in and out like a bad radio signal. Luckily, I don't think the dreams themselves were that bad and I would wake up ok. My memories as a kid are spotty at best, so yeah.
HA HA! trauma
Phil Ken Sebben?
Damn. Anh being around is really drawing it out of Faye.
You're a talented writer, Jeph...write the Swift song you want to see (just with no attribution)
What would she be able to rhyme “Questionable Content” with? Or “Jeph Jacques”?
I don't know, but I suspect she could find something.
Hey thanks, Jeph. I needed a punch to the gut tonight.
Taylor, you know you were born really wealthy So don’t expect me to ask for a selfie.
