Thank You For Your Contribution
eventually I'll figure out how to draw Sven so he doesn't just look like a brown haired Marten :P

"Ask me how I know." Oh, Faye. Love you.
wink wink, nudge nudge, knowwhadImean
Will May be able to cry when she sees the outpouring?
When you pallette-swap a character it makes them more powerful.
I complained bitterly several months back, when Dora basically became unrecognizable! If evolution continues along these lines then pretty soon they will all have to have name tags, like May... (Resistance is FUTILE!)
Partly it’s that Sven is a physically kinda big dude. When you see him beside Hanners in that first panel, recall that he used to be drawn as close to a head taller than her, notably broader through the shoulders? Not, like, ripped and burly, but definitely lanky, noticeably among the taller characters in the comic. Now...he really, honestly looks like Marten with brown hair, except even younger. It’s the most startling change in design of a character that I’ve ever seen in QC, which I’ve been reading for, jeeps, more than ten years?
so who should model for sven-I nominate a young James Taylor!
Didn’t Sven used to wear glasses? That would help.
Perhaps if you put Sven back in glasses...
missing the word 'IF' she wants any advice on butt implants
I dunno, this seems to be one if these subjects where it’s a matter of “when”, not “if”.
I read marital arts and now I wonder what that would look like.
Mostly it's an interpersonal communications course, with a seminar on making budgets.
What doyou mean I cannot donate to a fictional cause? This is outrageous
We’re apart of this Patreon club. Who says we aren’t already donating?
Damn, at this point I want to give to May! ;-)
Panel 5: "And she" should probably be "And if she"
Is Tai doing crack??
looks like good ole weed in a detective pipe to me
Yeah give her the ass implants
Give her all the implant. No too late for that multitool idea
She may be a fighter jet yet.
Ooh, now I feel really bad for making the "Martinize" joke. Sorry! Not to mention that everybody just thought I didn't know the spelling of "Marten." You'll have to look up "Martinize" (or maybe ask your grandparents).
who is this sven imposter?
Would be funny to see Dora's reaction to people saying her brother and Marten looking alike.
Probably wouldn't surprise her - she knows that she and Marten look a like.
Yea new Sven is terrible. Without the dialog I have no idea who he is.
Much heart warming! One worries though...if May's body is such a wreck, what about her memory core? Roko had extra reinforcement because she was a cop, which suggests that the level of protection an embodied AI is provided with varies. Is there a mandatory minimum level of durability and shielding provided so that even someone like May can reliably expect not to experience physical damage to the ol' processor in the course of normal wear and tear? Put differently, if she's subjected to severe feels overload because of unexpected generosity and kindness, is it possible for her to actually suffer injury from it?
When Roko was suffering from a particularly severe instance of body dysphoria, Yay put her into sleep mode. More than likely someone will extend the same courtesy to May.
Remember, optimists can never be pleasantly surprised.
Yaknow, with the technology available in the QC world, May could get a reasonably priced body, maybe even an slightly older model that is anatomically correct, and then if there is enough left over she could get an RC fighter jet that she could upload into and be able to fly fast.
Or a roomba with a jet engine strapped on. There may be a couple of those flying around here already.
"ask me how I know". seriously. PLEASE ask me!!!!
Does this mean it took Sven three tries to get it into May’s left ear?
Is anyone going to ask Yay to contribute? I mean, they already know, but i bet they would appreciate being asked
How does this make me cry? I don't know, but thanks.
It's a shame that Dora and Tai aren't having their bachelorette party in Montreal. Pintsize probably knows all the good strip clubs...
I'm gonna cry at the end of this arc, aren't I?
I'm crying noooooowwwwww ;_; but it's good crying
aaaaaa this just reminds me of all my friends who've donated money to me when i've been in need and now i'm crying ;o;
I have bad vision. I had to squint to realize Tai is lighting a pipe.
I didn't notice that until you said so.
Neck meats. NECK MEATS!
I have, on a couple of occasions, had cause to ask for charity from friends and loved ones and... I have a sense of how this is going to hit May. Seeing how much people are willing to help you if you're in genuine need and just ask can be utterly mind-blowing in a very good way.
I think Sven just needs a different, distinct way to style his hair. Probably in an annoying hot way
Sven/Marten problem is easily solved: just draw Sven in more explicitly weird carnal festivities with May, and we'll know that he's definitely not Marten. ...unless May's new body will be a dorky-looking red-headed floofy librarian type (really nice model going on sale, perhaps?).
Jeph...you know you're going to make a 35 year old man ugly-cry with this storyline right?
Sven should have an air of casual confidence about him. "I know I'm good and I don't even try"
Marten and Dora look like twins, so why shouldn't Sven look like Marten as well?
In comic #5491 it turns out that they're all from the same family. I can't wait!
This is going to break May in the best way, and I honestly can't wait to see it. As well as wanting to see what she will have as a body once she's migrated over.
Isn't Sven supposed to be kinda tall and willowy and gorgeous? Maybe try sketching Orlando Bloom at the corresponding age?
Yeah, I thought Sven was really tall. He looks too short here, and I thought he was Marten at first.
I need more Jimbo.
friends :3
Millie just wants a world where everyone can have the ass they dream of. the best motivation.
Millie, “The Ass that Launched a Million Ships.”
No, Thank You.
This is a great opportunity to see some folks we've not seen in ages. How are Penelope and Wil these days? Steve and Cosette, Raven and didn't Jimbo make a bunch of money selling trashy novels...?
I could see Penelope & Will contribute. I’m not sure if Steve, Cosette, Raven, or Jimbo would have known May. Pizza Girl would donate after she learns of May’s plight from the Invisible Emu.
AHH SHE HAS ALL THESE FRIENDS I CANT WAIT FOR THE REACTION
See, that's the thing. She doesn't have all these friends - but she does have a couple of very close friends who DO have all these friends. It's all in working your extended network.
I'm wondering what her reaction will be when she sees how much money gets raised and the names of all those who gave. Her coolant pump will grow 3 sizes* Faye and Bubbles can handle that, right?
I usually pay someone that much to bust some of my ports.
Now are we going to see May have a growth moment of "omg all this money I can get the fighterjet!" Then turn around and get a moderately cost body and set aside the extra for the nonprofit that Roko and Beeps work for?
Giving Sven his glasses back would help a lot with the sameface. “Sven! You're wearing glasses again!” “Yeah, I didn't like the contacts.”
Sven's features were usually more angular than Marten's too.
She might get enough to be a fighter jet!
This had me so emotional, this year must really be getting to me.
Awww. It's so nice seeing everyone care for May, despite her not thinking anyone would or does.
I would be more concerned if Steve eating cereal will now look like a redhead Marten eating cereal.
god imagine Marten growing his hair out and then he looks like Sven and not the other way around
"Ask me how I know." I think this is my new favorite way to tell someone you're fucking
I use this for everything.
the left ear port is traditionally where the USB coffee warmer is plugged in
ruh roh, typo! "And IF she wants"
Grammar be damned, we all know there's not gonna be any "if" about May wanting butt implants.
Idk why this made me tear up. I'm such a cry baby.
So i didn't see sven as a brown haired marten.....until now. Now that it is pointed out I cannot unsee it.....looking back at older pages looks wierd too now....
You're welcome, Jeph!
She's going to have such a bad ass body!
Nothing is more badass then a fighter jet.
I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT CRYING OVER HER REACTION WHEN SHE SEES
Yup. Really looking forward to her discovery that she is valued by her friends.
Their community 😭
Ahahaha, for a moment judging from this title I thought Jeph was making a Patreon-exclusive post. "THANK YOU FOR GIVING ME MONEY, FRIENDS"
I believe that was the purpose of the recent picture of Marigold.
She can get a cover for the new USB port in her ear to protect it for later
Yeah, I hear they have a deal for Wendy's themed robo-part covers
Oh I'm so excited for this makeover
