What's the bet that they didn't even interview her, lol
“Taylor Swift: Actually a robot?” At the top is pretty great. And for any ‘swifties’ (think that’s what you call yourselves at least) out there reading this, I’m not making fun of Taylor Swift, I just appreciate the real-world crossover reference.
Canyonero! Yah!
Definitely one of the classics: https://youtu.be/PI_Jl5WFQkA?si=SQjDSea0CUQCWQQY
I'd bet anything that tabloid has some.....Questionable content. Ba dum tiss.
Also people must buy them cause I still always see them at grocery stores despite not seeeing a single soul pick one up actively 😂😂😂
People who buy that trash probably don't want to be seen as people who *buy* that trash.
I would buy that for the cover alone. Anh is a cutie
Imagin the real-world Taylor Swift including a rectangular spech bubble as an easter egg in her next video.
B I G T R U C K
She dated Elvis and is raising Bat Baby on the Moon landing movie set.
Meanwhile, back in Cubetown: Phoebe goes on vacation, mails herself to Japan, meets Pintsize, and the entire plot line unravels.
Next Week: Pheobe and Pintsize help stop a mad scientist when they get inside and destroy a weather machine that had caused rain to fall in Tokyo for 35 straight days. Meanwhile, Steve is stunned while enjoying a traditional Japanese breakfast of Shiozake.
Bahahaha, she outperformed “Taylor Swift: Actual Robot!” though! Good job Anh!
Sorry Notional Inquirer, that is way too much hair. WAY too much hair. Glad to see the Ahoge, in remembrance, though! Also, that wicked smile.
We must never allow ourselves to forget Anh's ruthless, cold-blooded murder of her poor, loyal symbiote. #JusticeForAnhoge
Daddy's going to have opinions about this. Oh well.
I recall one of them rags proclaiming, oh, say. 30 years ago that 12 U.S. senators were space aliens. Cover showed a bunch of dead-white stylized aliens, with the standard teardrop-shaped, outsized heads and eyes, no hair, etc. (But now any of us can do that using social media.)
She's right about tabloids. And probably also right about dismissing them. In this day and age social media sites do a lot more damage to one's reputation.
That's progress for you. One day we will look back at how quaint our fear of social media corruption was, as we compare it to the LLM generated alternative reality brain uploads that we will constantly complain about while continuing to use.
That back cover is an ad for Sven’s latest hit song, surely?
No it’s an ad for this summer’s big blockbuster Big Truck: The Movie. Sven wrote the score for it
Are there aliens in this comic strip?
Not officially...
Big Truck is secretly in kahoots with Big Oil. No...scratch that...not really a secret.
That is definitely not big enough to be a tabloid. It's not even bi-folded ledger.
Barely bigger than A3 in Europe.
The way she sings "Welcome to New York" does sound robot-like.
I’m curious whether the slab that constantly hums will be considered an alien.
Oh dear. Anh is on top of things. In this case, a tabloid cover.
I would like to learn more about BIG TRUCK please.
Ouch
I'm picturing a media conglomerate with similar titles to Big Truck such as Massive Car and Huge Bike. Unfortunately Stonking Tricycle's readership was too small to justify its budget.
Bodacious Bakfiets for the import market (whenever it makes it past the censors...)
Interesting seeing the title of a Coal Chamber song on the back cover and at the bottom Edit: extremely surprised I wasn’t the first and only person to say this
Holy shit that album is 30 years old
I just realized AI images have basically put Inquirer Photoshoppers out of a job.
That and all the generic stock photos and stock art subscriptions that nonprofits need to advertise their yearly chili cook-off to support the local orphanage.
I miss the Anh-hoge
BIG TRUCK even comes with a decal of Calvin peeing on SLIGHTLY LESS BIG TRUCK.
Sean, you rock!
But how DO we know whether she's in league with aliens?
Not her, her dad!
I hope the editor of the Inquirer is Tabitha Lloyd.
or Stabitha
And unlike the previous page, that's 6.99 USD.
Which is equivalent to 0.114291 ounces of silver in goblin. Although I suspect Marigold only accepts gold coins.
I like that this is an area where Anh is more savvy than Faye.
For a given value of "savvy"
IS TAYLOR SWIFT A ROBOT??
Nah, those tabloids always exaggerate. She's actually just secretly a cyborg.
Faye, if you just join Anh's Super Secret Club, you'll get a discount...
You're all missing the BIG story: Taylor Swift - AI?
Hmmm ... Taiylor Swift.
thoroughly justifiable thievery
"Lashes out"! Study question: In a world with AIs, private space stations, and sentient forms like The Director and Yay, what exactly would frighten readers about the phrase "In League With Aliens?"
In fairness, neither Yay nor the Director are exactly known for making public appearances.
Subtle Coal Chamber reference 🤘
They needn't any water.
I like big trucks and I cannot…wait I don’t even own a bike.
(Raps) "I like big trucks and I cannot drive..."
Meanwhile.....
Tell me more about Taylor Swift
Ahhhh the Anhquirer is out on the newstands.
Ahnquiring minds want to know!
Wow, so they outbid Conspiracy Weekly after all? I bet she got *two* free lunches! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5861
So I guess her dad is not a reptiloid. How disappointing. (why yes i was a fan of the s.f. tv show 'v' back in the day)
We created an "AI Clone" based on Anh's social media posts and interviewed her!
... Do not give current 'News' publications ideas.
Enquiring mind want to know
She was secretly dating Bigfoot, but cheated on him with bat boy.
No, no, you're thinking of the Weakly Whirled News.
The Notional Anhquirer
"Notional Inquirer" - chef's kiss!
yes it's an excellent pastiche name :D
You, uh... you could've just taken a picture of it with your phone
Speaking of which, is that cover photo an Anh selfie? It would be very in line with tabloiddom.
A.k.a Notorious Inquirer
I really hope theyre stretching the definition of interview here
Nope. She sold out to the highest bidder. And probably got the money in advance. The trash press would have faked something up anyway since her row with her dad was public.
Best use of “Notional” in 2026.
Perhaps in all of the 2020's
