I just realised Clinton is wearing what appear to be tiny purple shorts through this entire arc.
Clinton and I should hang out. That is exactly the way I feel right now. 45 years old/married and just figuring out that I'm pretty sure that I'm pan....
Cliffhanger tomorrow (Later today, really.) I'm guessing that Elliot is going to assume the worst about this relationship. I do hope that I'm wrong, if only to keep the shippers afloat.
I just got done reading it, and you are 💯% correct. Elliot’s gotta Elliot.
"more of a practice than a process" indeed
"Now we know" and knowing is half the battle.
Jeph, between Clinton and Faye, I am so so happy with how you've introduced the concept of questioning your sexuality. I know it's not the case for everyone, but that subconscious knowing translating to an actual lived experience is such an intense journey. Thank you for putting into drawings the feelings that helped shape the beautiful, queer, pansexual, and polyamorous parts of myself. I feel very seen. :)
Agreed - I'm struggling with/questioning my sexuality currently, and while it's a comic strip, it feels like I have someone in my corner.
I really love the vapors we're seeing in the first panel. Poor boy has to be feeling a little warm after yesterday.
I love everything about this conversation, it's a healthy discussion and it's beautiful.
Just an observation - there's a statistically anomalous density of LGBTQ+ folk in this strip, and I'm hoping it represents a future where people have managed to let go of some toxic culture and collectively decided to be whatever they actually are. It's a *good* thing... but there are still some cis-hetero folk in the strip, and I think it's worth spending a few frames showing how disappointed they are to be missing out on stuff, lol I've always said I wish I was bi, but I never met that guy.
Seems like every parent thus far depicted in the strip is looking at a no-grandkids future. Which even the most open-minded and loving of them is probably going to feel a *little* disappointed about, because...y'know, grandkids are awesome. I think that would be a nicely complex issue Jeph could look at at some point. You can still love your kids and be totally happy that they've found the right partner and stuff, but I bet Mrs. Whitaker in particular had her hopes pinned on Faye becoming a mother someday. There's plenty of juicy emotional baggage to unpack in that guilty blend of vicarious joy and personal disappointment.
*blep*
I'm genuinely so excited to see where this goes, but the main I've always wanted was Elliot and Clinton to be happy and if they are happy together, even better <3
Now I want Clinton and Faye to talk to each other about their new found bisexuality
You mean about nightvision and Earth magic? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3790 By the way, I just understood that by shown abilities Emily may be the most powerful bisexual in QC-verse.
🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
I really love when Claire and Clinton get over their silly spats and have genuine moments of sibling bonding. Panel 4 is a thing of beauty
Jeph? Thank you for being so inclusive. While I am not gay, it's valuable to me to be reminded that I am NOT the be all and end all of creation.
Jeph: Everyone's gay. Everyone has been gay. Everyone will be gay. Or I'll turn everyone gay. There is no escaping the gay. You have it, too. GAYDAY GAYDAY, GOING DOWN!! (on members of the same gender) Seriously. You're either gay or gay with robots around here. What next, is Marten gonna fuck pintsize? I'm not really anti-gay, but this all seems like a poor excuse for plot progression. Whatever.
I do see what you mean. It's not about inclusion it's about nothing else.
But what about dick stuff?
That'll be on Slipshine!
My journey wasn't _quite_ like Clinton's, but man, I do feel that angst at the end when he's trying to figure out what to do about it. I definitely came at my bisexuality more the way Emily might... I just sorta wandered into a situation I wanted to be in, realized that it would take another guy to make it happen, and then when I met a guy hot enough for it to happen... yeah, that took some processing. Yeah, and it definitely becomes a practice. No one was ever accused of being a "processing bisexual." ("No, I ain't practicing. I've got this part DOWN.")
I love this so much. I see so much of myself in Clinton. It's very comforting.
I’m happy that Clinton realized his bisexuality, but I’m curious about what relationship I should support. Will Clinton and Elliot become a thing, and where does that leave Brun (who seems to be involved with Millie) or Emily (who’s probably no longer a love interest to Clinton)?
Time for a polyamory plotline? 😁 (As a queer poly person this would make me infinitely happy)
Clinton is SUCH a quant.
It's all about the numbers!
I love Clinton’s tongue blep.
This has to have been posted, but I can't find it: "Yeah, yeah yeah. Patience. How long will that take?" E. Gruberman.

Yeah but now we need to know about the throuple...
As much as I would love to see my Quandraman set sail, I’m not getting any poly vibes from Clinton and Elliott.
We need Marten to come home and seal the deal with his classic "fuckin' go for it, buddy." It worked on Faye and Bubbles!
Jeph, are you reading this buddy? We need this.
"how long does self acceptance usually take?" oh boy what i would give to know the answer to that one.
Preach, Brother
He'd better buy some lube because I bet big man is slam dunk hung
Who says Elliot is a top? 😝
Count down until Clinton comes out as trans.
Nah. I've never gotten trans vibes from him at all.
I once told a female friend I was into her and wanted to go further. She said she had to think about it. I had had ladies tell me that before, and it always turned out to mean, "I'm not interested, but I'm going to leave it hanging and hope you forget about it." So, I dropped it. She was too dear a friend to risk screwing up our friendship by forcing the issue. Two days later, I was visiting her apartment, and she had an answer for me. Long story short (too late), we'll be celebrating our 18th anniversary next month.
That's so sweet. I'm happy for you!!
As someone who realized her own bisexuality late... This is NOSTALGIC. I love it. He's so sweet and I swear to God nothing better hurt my bi/pan prince
That sounds like some sort of pagan deity. "Beneath the oaks, the Bipan Prince slumbers, awaiting the return of the spring."
Clinton has come a very long way without losing his essential Clinton-ness. Congratulations.
Watching Clinton go through this, I know I won't have half the composure he does when I have this moment. If I ever do.
This arc gives me more to say than I can properly express at this point. That a good thing
Totally not crying right now... Love this so much
Yeah, either of them broaching the topic of a polycule with Brun is gonna take longer than a Dragonball Z fight scene.
Hopefully without the screaming.
Claire gives good advice
Claire is a precious bean.
Man I remember being where Clinton is. Just like that turning point in wearing my queerness on the outside for the first time.
I love this so much!
This is awesome ❤️
Can we take a moment to appreciate Clinton's character development? He's approaching this in such a mature and introspective way, taking time to sort himself out and seek advice.
And he also knows- he is on the clock here! He did tell Elliot he would get back at him.
Tomorrow: Roko gets off on making Croissants.
QC After Dark?
Oh just kiss him already you red headed bitch.
Also, did you really need to crank the sexy on both Claire and Clinton up to 15?
"It's more of a practice than a process." I love this. I love this so much.
What, you mean he and Elliot can't go straight to the dick stuff?
Nope. Straight to the dork stuff.
y'all think that robot hand can do special (sexy) tricks?
I'm sure Faye and Bubbles can customise it if necessary. Though Clinton may end up with a hand with a flame decal on it.
Took me a moment to realize Clinton was just sticking his tongue out in panel 3, and he didn't just suddenly have lips.
Panel 4: Claire gives the best of all possible advice. Right there.
Oh you poor boy you, lol
This is the bi panic I know and love.
Been there. Bi-panic is a thing, until you realise it's not so bad.
Wait we got this one yesterday?
Some people did, due to some sort of Patreon bug.
As a wise man once said, "Fucking go for it, buddy."
A wise sage indeed
gaaaaayyy
This whole arc is such an intense Mood, dang
