I keep on waiting for Angus to return out of the blue.
So, Overly Attached Girlfriend in a Suit really likes her ... pen? Is it a vibrating pen? Is that why she's overly attached to it? If so, then why is she carrying it in her hand? Should it be ... somewhere else?
That's not how you transport a vibrator!
When Jeph starts toying with cute couples, that's what prompts me to actually check the Patreon feed to get a day ahead because I CAN'T STAND THE SUSPENSE.
This "bank one" approach hadn't occurred to me - thanks!
Aaarrrgghhhhhh suspense idk if I need more brunellton or Faybles. I want both! (Brunellton is what we’re calling them right?)
Elton Brun. Known for such hits as Enormous Dancer, Saturday Night's Not Alright For Fighting (You Will Be Removed From The Venue), Rocket Hand, and Your Song And Your Song Too.
Red Pen Girl is dressed like the super-powerful AI that freed Bubbles' memory block. Disaster imminent!
OMG the anxiety..... I cannot wait!
The woman, "this pen is red!"
Load more comments 2 of 130 .. uh .. yeah, think I'll just wait for tomorrow's comic.
Damn it, Jeph... Right in the Feels.
What pledge level gets me the strip after this - NOW? :)
Random extra loves pen!
Meanwhile, at Coffee of Doom, Bubbles has just sat down hard enough to destroy her chair. She also destroyed Punchbot, who was sitting in it at the time.
Melon was the last one in the chair, though. RIP Melon.
JEPH WHY DOES EVERYONE LEAVE
nah i think that lady in the street did something, she looks to suspicious.
We have remember that Bubbles is also fragile emotionally and she took a risk doing a thing she felt uncomfortable doing and then perceived that she was rejected for doing it. Faye was so overwhelmed with her own emotions she never considered Bubbles' emotions.
I don’t know what I was expecting ... but this wasn’t it. It’s your story; I’m just a passenger. But I hope you’ll be kind to figments of your imagination that I care about.
Daaaaaaaaamn yooooooou Jeppppphhhhhhh !!!!!!!! :p
Panel 2: Melon in disguise, first day as pen-tester!
No, Spookybot in disguse; the pen is Bubbles. Spookybot wants to show her some stuff before she makes any final decisions about a relationship with Faye.
She's totally just back at the apartment
Or possibly seeking Momo for advice. Or Punchbot
The most likely explanation is that Bubbles is out getting some supplies. However, Faye's brain will assume the worst. The heartbreak she feels at the thought of losing Bubbles will fill in the few remaining blanks and kill the few remaining doubts she has. Bubbles is going to be very surprised when Faye jumps her when she comes back. I mean, she doesn't MIND being glomped and then held in a death-grip whilst Faye babbles apologies and professions of love but it's still pretty darn shocking!
So much foreboding, Jeph... <a href="http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2093" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Even more than this.</a>
JEPH
It's actually a good thing - even if Bubbles is just out for essential shopping, Faye would be too scared of the idea of losing her to "take time to think it over". Faye may say to Bubbles much more on the adrenaline than she was planning on.
Agreed; this is the point where Faye's brain fills in the blanks. When Bubbles returns, Faye will be so afraid and will have worked herself into such a panic that she'll not even THINK of holding back.
*sigh* Poor Faybles. I want to give Faye a hug but I'm a little afraid of her so I'll let Bubbles do it... if Jeph ever puts them in the same panel again. It could be months, even years. By the way, I just want to say how much I enjoy reading the comments from everyone. It makes QC that much more enjoyable and I appreciate it. In closing, BUTTS.
Aaaaaaaaand this is when I realize QC has become an addiction, no longer merely a pleasant pastime. I'd have quit by this point, if only I could. I am weak. I must see the next strip. If I give more, can I get them TWO days in advance? C'mon Jeph, just a taste to tide me over?
And now, Faye really knows what she wants.
Georgia. Called it
In panel six, zoomed all the way out, square glasses look kinda round, and for a second I thought "Tilly??"
Personally I often put on my best business suit and walk through town with my favorite red pen.
Did she just walk past a Woman in Black, still holding out her memory eraser pen?
I smell a particularly generous patron whom Jeph is rewarding with a walk-on non-speaking part.
ohnoooooo
text her, dumb butt
is it too late to go back to the Steve eating cereal idea tho
Even the AI can do a relationship.
We jinxed it
I hope Bubbles is getting advice from Claire.
I hope Bubbles is getting advice from Pintsize. The laughs!
Bubbles, being an AI, can obsess over what she did wrong to scare Faye away several million times a second. As in running away was the absolute worst thing Faye could do ever.
It's established QC more that AIs don't actually experience conscious thought any faster than humans do

No no no no :(
Oh man, bad vibes :( Seriously sad about this.
i want to cry
this comic gives me anxiety
Jeph you mother fucker
ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Who's the chick in the suit? She seems nice.
Bubbles changes to a male chassis. Faye's head explodes.
BARTENDER POUR ME A COPING MECHANISM
you're killing it right now
motherfucking red pan!
JEPH, YOU CANNOT DO THIS TO US
YES HE CAN THATS WHAT AUTHORS DO THE BASTARDS
I kind of expected this, but even still...DISAPPOINTED!!
Only works if you scream it out like Kevin Sorbo reading his emotions as Hercules.
You know I was just joking Jeph. Right?
Bubbles enters a couple minutes later. "I was concerned about your pulled muscle, so I purchased a topical medicated balm from the pharmacy on the corner."
"Oh. It seems they also mistakenly put a jar of scented body oil in my shopping bag."
WELP.
Going for tea?
One can only hope that Bubbles wisely decided a cup of Assam and some sittin' time in her large and comfortable chair at Coffee of Doom are what she needed.
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if the next page is Bubbles getting actual legitimate good advice from Pintsize? (“Okay, so how tall should my humanoid body be?”)
This is my guess, bubbles goes and finds a body more human like. And then Faye tells her to change back etc
ITS NOT A PEN ITS A HERRING
no, it's chekhov's gun
She's just out getting a pack of 9 volt batteries.
Please just let her be out getting advice. Please please please.
Please let her inexplicably show up with a certain cereal-eating dude who gives her good advice...
Did Bubbles get hit with the overthinking D:
So the next comic will be...Faye leaves sadly and heads home. She gets home and finds she's not at home either, and now she's upset. Meanwhile, in the next frame, Bubbles walks into the shop after a long walk and says, "Faye?"..."Faye?"...no one is there...then says "Ah, fuck" and leaves.
I don't understand.
The woman with the pen looks innocuous, but she wears the same suit as Spookybot so I don't know.
It's a very popular suit
JEPH, BUBBLES, NO! D':
WHAT ARE YOU DOING JEPH NO
My very dear Faye: The indications are very strong that we shall move in a few days — perhaps tomorrow. Lest I should not be able to write again, I feel impelled to write a few lines that may fall under your eye when I shall be no more … I have no misgivings about, or lack of confidence in the cause in which I am engaged, and my courage does not halt or falter. I know how strongly American Civilization now leans on the triumph of the Government and how great a debt we owe to those who went before us through the blood and sufferings of the Revolution. And I am willing — perfectly willing — to lay down all my joys in this life, to help maintain this Government, and to pay that debt … Faye my love for you is deathless, it seems to bind me with mighty cables that nothing but Omnipotence could break; and yet my love of Country comes over me like a strong wind and bears me unresistibly on with all these chains to the battle field. Yours, and no one elses, Bubbles
AARGH
Next on Red Pen Lady Adventures...
1000 episodes of Questionable Content later... "And so concludes The Adventure of the Red Pen Lady. Now back to Faye and Bubbles."
JEPH YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD OW MY FEELS
Like a punch to the gut
Bubbles got a makeover, she's now a pen.
Bubbles didn't clear out did she??
Totally expected...and yet somehow still absolutely crushing. Right in the feels sir
Oof, yeah.
Background girl is staring at her pen like "Red! My favorite flavor!"
Red things are ripe, therefore, ergo, that pen is gonna be delicious.
