Proportional Response

I love the abort code!!

Didn't station send down pizza at one point?

I'm so bad at proofreading it took like 5 tries to find the mistake there.

Speaking structurally, would this be considered a cantilevered cliffhanger?

I am _so_ disappointed not to find #cantilever trending on social media....

its the end, time to do porn and really rake in the Patreon dollars :D

What if he was meant it?

Next strip, panel 1: profile view of Station and Earth. panel 2: same angle, barrage of weapons leaves Station on their way to Earth. panel 3: weapons seen steering clear, and blow up in space (or head for the sun). panel 4: Yay in front of the counter at Coffee of Doom, looking unamusedly at Hannelore while everyone else covers their head and has their eyes closed expecting imminent doom. Hannelore has eyes closed but is standing tall looking defiant. Panel 5: Hannelore senses Yay's gaze and opens an eye, making eye-contact with Yay. Yay asks (unamused) "the fuck you doing?"

this is the End; my only friend, the End.

The murderbots NEVER get to do anything fun. All the good stuff goes to the flashy bombardment systems and they just sit there being all smug and all..

Please don't joke about the last QC! It's the only comic I still read daily!

We'll meet again, don't know where, don't know when...

Actually the last panel for the strip should just be a flash or all white box. Sort of the opposite of the Sopranos.

Maybe they could use Emily's device to undo the typo before the newsletter was published?

I dread to think what apocalyptic scenes this might inspire, but Claire's glasses are crossing over her nose in the penultimate panel.

We've all been there!

See, this is what happens if you give a job your best.

So funny! I've read it multiple times now and I'm is still laughing! Cantilever!

Kinetic, emp, {explosive/nuclear?} Warheads?

That was the first time in weeks I’ve laughed out loud at something.

This is the only time in QC history I've been tempted to quit the strip. I almost want to stop reading just so this is the end of the story for me. Alllllmost.

Next strip, Stations offensive systems vs Bubbles defensive systems. What of the earth will remain???

*brandishes knife* “Thank you! I hope you liked it!”

Station, fortunately, is smart enough to say "Yes, ma'am" and not actually do anything until they've checked with Tilly first.

Well, it was a good run, everyone.

Is this a comment on the Patreon typo gang? 😅😅

I can't help but feel we are to blame for pointing out the typo.

"In the grim future of WarHanner 2k21, there is only war - and Emperor Pintsize's nude mud wrestling trials beyond Coffee of Thunderdoom..."

Included in the bombardment payload is unit designated ALICE whereas Church is deployed to intercept.

It would be pretty funny if this was the last strip. You should delay the next one by a day and watch everyone freak out.

I had to go back and read the newsletter again. I'm glad I did. It made Dora's response funnier.

Oh for sure. I assumed someone would let him know but , you know, gently

...so I take it everyone else also noticed the typo.

Honestly, not the end of QC I expected but a pretty good ending all things considered

My issue with all of the comic today is this: THEY HAVE AN OVERRIDE CODEWORD FOR THIS. This. Situation. Happened. Before.

I had to read the speech bubble three times to see the typo 🤦🏻‍♂️😅

Damn this would have been PERFECT for an April Fool's strip.

I mean....a part of me feels this is a generally reasonable response. Though another part of me has not seen NEARLY enough of the cast naked yet, so I'm hoping Station has an abort sequence.

QC's version of "Rocks fall. Everyone dies."

Dora's reaction is priceless and I will cherish it forever.

As someone who used to post stuff on the internet for a living and hated "you made a typo" comments, I am 100% on Hannelore's side here.

Nuke the site from orbit, it's the only way to be sure...

A bit of old Hanners resurfaced, and she brought Operation Scorched Earth with her.

Ah, a case of real life writes the plot.

Love it!

Hanners has been involved in at least one end-of-the-world scenario before. It was set several years in the future, long after she left Northampton behind. Protip: when Hanners leaves town, look for shelter.

GAH! HELP! I'VE BEEN STABBED!

Don't worry Hanners I had to read it like 10 times before I could find the typo

Somewhat ironic (or coincidental?) given that this is a comic about pointing out a mistake, but I believe you've accidentally drawn Claire's glasses over her nose in panel 4.

And this is how my dad earned pocket money as a small boy. Grandpa got to the point where he couldn't see the typos in his newspaper after running a proof, so he called in his kids and paid them a nickel per typo spotted.

cover your tracks with a crater

this is some excellent fourth-wall breaking/fan service ;)

Next week: Steve makes breakfast and realizes the kitchen is open air and the roaches are radioactive. Also Melon and Yay are there.

ohgdthe KNIFE

Might still be fun to take an unannounced break from the comic right after this goes up. :-P

Cantilever alone for five minutes without her calling in an orbital strike?

Why is Dora saying "cantilever"? Is that a reference?

Also, with the time it takes for a target package to reach CoD and the elapsed time between strips, we'd get at least 5-10 more...

Claire why would you do this

nah. the last strip will jsut show a giant explosion on the side of the earth where Station destroyed the town.

I always knew a typo would cause the end of the world 😏😂

Nuke ‘em from orbit, it’s the only way to be sure.

I can't argue that this wouldn't be a brilliant end... But I hope to die before the true end comes.

I forget, what's "cantilever" a reference to?

i would be incredibly sad to see the strip go but an ending like this would be so on brand i would have no choice but to salute it

Deploying pizza bombardment

We have to wait for 72 hours to find out, don’t we?

That's just Station purging every digital copy from existence.

Death of OCD, as I would expect.

Next page is just a link to Alice Grove with the caption "some time later..."

CANTILEVERRRRRRR

I love that Dora has a Station Safeword. Has this gun been seen on the wall before? It sounds familiar but I can't place it.

What will we read now?

Okay that would be hilarious though

I guess she got that cranial uplink to Station after all!

This would have been a good one to post on March 31st, with the April 1st comic just being a nuclear mushroom cloud.

And that's the End. QED. Fare-thee-well. Catch you on the backside. Later days and better lays. Sayonara mon frere. Peas out. We're so done we're burnt. We are an ex-parrot.

Why does she have a knife?

This would be super funny if it were the last comic! Glad it's not though!

RIV (Rest In Vapour)

Tilly is still up there to veto this, right?

Sooo, we're not gonna talk about where that knife ended up?

No Jeph, it would not be funny

We all know this can't be the last QC, we haven't even reached #6969 yet.

It's been a good run here at QC

Its too late Dora, what has been is already been done.

The end will almost certainly involve Yelling Bird.

Jeph covering his own mistakes by writing them in?
