I really missed when this comic used to make music reference, this comic makes my heart happy
I never got any of them, but I'm an old man.
Love Station’s answer!
The slight art change here is pretty cool! Threw me off for a bit, but I like it.
Woah woah WOAH SHE GOT THE IMPLANT! That was mentioned back in the first time she went to the station, and Hanners seemed totally against it! This will be interesting if touched upon. Also, Hanners (and Station) meeting Spookybot. That'll be interesting. Or Spookybot meeting Marten.
Is hair-defloofed Claire still Claire? WILL Claire's hair even acquiesce to defloofing? I suppose Claire-and-her-hair disagreements would make an excellent running gag.
If she gives you a grizzly look, it's a Claire Bear Stare.
Okay, if I may give some feedback, knowing it's still early and all: it feels a bit uncanny-valley-ish, though I don't know whether it would benefit from being more realistic, less realistic… or something sideways of that. Still, these thinner lines and the additional level of detail they enable are promising, and I have no doubt persisting in that direction would give great results.
Jeph has started using a more sophisticated shadowing on faces, at least. It's a good change
"A cat dressed like an astronaut" lol I'm dying over here.
EXTRA EYE DETAIL IS CREATING INTERNAL CONFLICT IN THIS UNIT
Persona style anyone?
I can’t put my finger on what changed in the art but I absolutely love it.
It's like he's added some definition, trying for more realism. The lineart seems finer as well.
Panel 1: Congratulations, Claire. You just sowed the seed for the end of the relationship.
With the black turtleneck throw in a beret and shades have him at Coffee of Doom and go full 1950 retro.
-google images searches it- That would certainly be interesting seeing Marten dressed like that. Maybe do an ensemble pic with the cast as Kraftwerks as one of the bonus pic choices?
Wait is Hanners using a phone or did she get the satellite uplink?
I *love* the new art style! Claire is cuter than ever, and there are some amazing facial expressions on display here, particularly Claire and Hanners in panel 1!
Jeph changes the art style every so often, it takes 10-20 strips to settle down again, then we forget it was ever different until we go back and look at an old one.
AI, looking at electronic music group: Awww, they think they're people!
Or rather "Awwwww, they think they are not people" :-)
Marten has gone full yaoi there.
More realistic art style. Neither good nor bad - just gonna take some getting use to.
I like the eyes
Sudden art change, ACTIVATE!
Oh good, I'm not imagining it.
Claire, you are a dear, but please work on communicating your own encouragement rather than editing your boyfriend's.
Can't say I like the art in this one...
c'mon, the look on Claire's face in panel 1??!!
JEPH, this art is PEAK
So we're not going to talk about Carly Rae Jepsen?
Marten likes Carly Rae. And Toto! So he'd like this: https://youtu.be/GzD8hTVJwTg
Some serious side-eye from Claire there...
Claire and Hanners's expressions are weirdly in sync in this one?
I think it's a good thing if AIs think we are adorable
My guess is that it's an extremely miniaturized phone, with a direct link to station. She appears to be speaking out loud. And we've seen here use a regular smartphone whilst on her journies. Remember when she was brushing the yak?
Careful Marten, /r/modular can quickly become an _extremely_ expensive subreddit to subscribe to.
Claire & Marten look subtly different from the last time we saw them. Has there been an art evolution?
Jeph's art has evolved constantly. (Try looking at the first comics, for example.)
The look on Clair's face in panel one is incredible!
Is Marten going to go down the same path as Jeph himself?
And my brother-in-law? And basically every Guitar Dude?
She got the implant?
I too am curious about this.
Claire hair?!
I know. How did Claire get much more cuter?
And now I want a cat named "Astro Cat".
Ear-finger: Everybody's doing it. Implant or wax, your choice.
I fondly remember reading "Space Cat" when I was a wee child.
Me too! My first science fiction book
and now I have this strange urge to go fahren, fahren, fahren auf der Autobahn. Thanks, Jeff.
This made me giggle at a very inappropriate time. Thank you for bringing cheer to this world.
And it seems they left Cosmos with Mrs A.
Part of me is like, "oooo, new art style!" The other part of me is like, "eeeeewwwww...new art style..." and I've never been more confused in my life.
Thus "Cat Dressed as an Astronaut" becomes the name of my Kraftwerk cover band.
Man, this feels like OG QC.
I love what you're doing here.
Claire's face in panel one! So cool and cute.
Marten's motivation seems to be an ongoing issue between Him and Claire. As it's been for a while. I see it as a good sign.
Now Clare, I'm not sure "dressing like a Kraftwerk" is good grammar. You're a librarian, I expect better of you! <3 <3 <3
You know - like one of the Kraftwerks.
Man, a Questionable Content comic where they are talking about music? So nostalgic!
Did Hanners get the neural link implant Station wanted her to get??
Probably as a security measure for when she was traveling, or it could just be one of her earrings.
Wait. Does Hanners have an implant, or does she always wear some sort of comm device? One of those studs, maybe?
Beat me to it! I was gonna ask: "When did she start doing the ear-finger for communication rather than wax?"
I spit out my drink on that punch line. Now I have tea all over my desk. Also, artwork level up!
Did... the comic literally make a joke of it’s initial premise?! 😂
If it did, I'm here for it.
I am here for this Kraftwerk era of Marten's musical endeavours.
He should do it! Imagine, ten years from now, new fans going through the archives and trying to figure out when Marten developed the accent.
Jeph, did you level up again?!
... The art quality really jumped in this comic, huh? Looks nice. X)
Idk if you're trying something new or if you just spent more time on this one but the art is incredible
Astronaut Cat #NewBandName
Cats-tronauts. They're on my daughters jammies.
So glad Hanners is back!
