“I’ll let you know …” HA!
Dear Clinton. You are afraid right now because you've never been in a relationship before. That feeling does go away. It is replaced by fear you experience because you /have/ been in a relationship before.
Hi, just wanted to let you know I've had some trouble with the main website for a while now. Entering it always slows down my browser, to the point where Firefox asks me if I want to leave the page. I'm on Firefox on a Mac, for reference.
lol, I love these two so much.
I'm probably the last one to notice, but there's a bit of what I'd consider a classical literary reference in panel 5 -- "ackpth".
he's become self-aware!
crispr puns are the best. https://upjoke.com/crispr-jokes
I was at the foster freeze the other day, and the counter guy asked me what size drink I want it. I asked them what sizes are there? “Well there’s small, medium, large and like 5 Liter”
Comes with it's own handle and cooling system.
Steam + Claire's hair = %@%
Siblongs
I just noticed the square vs. perfectly round glasses. I wonder which one thought, "Well, if sib is going to use that shape, what's the exact opposite?" Actually, I wonder if Jeph did that so readers could tell them apart on first glance.
Clinton originally had "dorky" round glasses, but got new ones during his infamous date with Emily: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2936
I wonder what the price of a Blood Pack is at COD.
Well, since they are siblings we might expect one of them to chill about their relationship - eventually. But might not talk about it for a good while longer.
Lack of chill must come from their father, because Aurelia is super chill.
Maybe it only grows in after you hit middle age! Like a chill puberty!
Sooooo many good Claire faces this week!
I love Claire's eyes in the last panel!
Me too. Jeph did a great job with that. :)
It's true, they don't
I wonder who their dad is and if he didn’t have a chill gene. Cause their mum always seems very chill. Granted, that may be particularly due to the pot, but it makes me wonder if she was always chill, or if it’s something she learned how to do later in life.
I question the assesment of Aurelia as chill https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4479
I keep forgetting the time dilation of comics, cause like Martin and Claire have been together for AGES but in universe it hasn't been very long so her feeling make more sense.
I am dead. Bury me in the CRISPR drawer.
I like the gene editing joke 👍
I like the idea of the WTF sized coffee. How big is it, exactly?
Big enough to give normal people caffeine poisoning.
are they just sibs, or were identical twins, or fraternal twins?
Just siblings, not twins.
I thought the sonic hedgehog gene was responsible for up dog expression.
What is love?
No ice cream, no affogato 😕
Suckin on a chili dog
Outside the Taste-freeze!
Gattaca was an awful movie. Waste of a solid cast.
I liked it actually... but YMMV
They had their ritual tiff. Now they're talking about relationships, with Clinton asking advice of Claire. But, why would Claire feel anxious about her and Marten. They're probably the healthiest, and well, normal couple in the strip. Don't worry dear, all is cool.
Have you met Anxiety? I've been married 30 years and I still have moments.
I hope she doesn't forget to charge Clinton for the advice. But is it 'Good Advice' or merely 'Advice'? I mean, the good advice is nice. That's going to drive her nuts. Even *more* nuts, I mean.
Her concentrating expression in panel 3 is amazing.
The sonic hedgehog gene is actually responsible for growing your limbs.
Yep, there are a few doctors upset about the name because it can be linked to fatal fetal abnormalities. It is already difficult enough trying to explain to a parent that their unborn child won't live without having to dance around the fact that the abnormal gene has a joke name.
Jeph, that pun at the bottom of the comic. Jeph.
I don't know about the gene, but inhibition of the sonic hedgehog protein pathway leads to you growing a giant eye in the middle of your face!
Steam from a milk frother can fuck you up. There’s a lot about an espresso machine that can fuck you up.
Yup. Burns SUCK, and an espresso machine is just an accident waiting to happen.
> crispr drawer God DAMN it Jeph.
Yep. Golf clap.
Does that say "Blood Pack"?
Always has. (at least all week) I love the stuff on the boards, nice little easter eggs for when I remember to look.
iirc the sonic hedgehog gene was found to be tied to erectile dysfunction, which still sends me into orbit to this day
SHH is involved in midline patterning in general, so… yeah.
aw :( bubby
