What happened to Claire's ring?
🥰🤤❤️🥳🧚♀️🌈😘 🤘😁🤘
Ain’t love grand!!
Sexy Claire 😍
Sexy Marten ;)
I love it! Also, Claire's got more hip game than I would've thought :O
HRT can do impressive things there even if you start it later in life. Start it early enough and you're identical results to a cis person's puberty
I would totally subscribe :D
A+ Claireface. Love to see her punning
That last panel. <3
As wholesome as this comic is I'm just going to ask...Claire pin up?
Pun-up.
too many clothes.
I'm sorry, I know it's basic, but I love Claire's freckles .
https://youtu.be/nUaXYYOl9JQ?t=9 All the way down...
God I love these two.
Gah, Claire is so CUTE! And her and Marten's dynamic is so fucking wholesome, I love it!
Claire face!
Adorable. I'm so happy they have such a healthy relationship
Claire is definitely still my forever QC crush. Puns are one of the most attractive things. ❤️
"and then they fucked", but unironically.
I feel her so much. For 13 years after I got my MALS I worked tangential library jobs in the private sector at two (now-defunct) companies before landing an actual library job. A little over a year later, something opened up at my alma mater that made use of my online searching skills, something that was still new in the 1970s. After 28 years of indexing/editing a periodical index, I retired from the dream job I never knew I dreamed about.
Is that someone's knee, in panel 3 bottom right?
strategically placed
God, I love these two together.
Claire's face in the last panel is *chef's kiss*
as a polyamorous lover of puns, i approve.
This is distilled serotonin. Pure, uncut, straight from the fucking source. I need more.
This is a worthy addition to the pun-iverse
god that's such a good post-pun face
I'm glad she's feeling better.
these two are really adorable xD
Pretty girl :)
Are the spaces between their faces in that last panel deliberately uncolored?
I can't express enough how happy it makes me that Marten recognizes that Claire makes a much better protagonist than he does.
Martin was never really the protagonist per say. Things would happen _to_ him and nearby him and he was an excuse for the "camera" to be there. Is there a name for that kind of character? I'm too scared to look at TV Tropes 'lest I lose another few hours...
I can kinda relate to Marten on this - most of the best things in my life (jobs especially) have fallen into my lap rather than me going after them specifically.
Claire is best Claire. My girl saves the best puns for me, too. It is a supreme joy.
Marten is more at peace with his nature, before his drifting style had suspicions of meaning maybe he wasn’t ambitious enough with some characters, and maybe himself.
CLAIREFACE!
ITYM 'Claire Platipun Club'
That is an absolutely terrible pun and both Claire and Jeph deserve to be proud of it
I love them so much. These two were the entire reason I started reading QC so long ago so to see them thrive gives me pure serotonin
Did you ever get into the archives before she was introduced? There's some GREAT stuff back there w/ other characters that don't have the focus these days (or straight up left their town/planet).
For a moment I was like "Wait what was his job again?" Cause you know QC time is weird like that. Love that Claire face in the last panel.
Wait no but what is his job again?
Oh my gosh these two are so cute.
I love this one!
I *would* subscribe to that, yes.
Nothing wrong with drifting as long as you’re happy :) and working in a coffee shop can be awesome if it has good vibes
Really. I would MARRY the first woman I met who could out-pun me. I'd be happy forever. In agony too, but happy nonetheless.
I know one, but she's mine! All mine!!!1!eleventy!!
At first glace, I thought Marten was wearing some kind of strange suspender jumpsuit.
That's one tight t-shirt he's actually wearing, isn't it?
Ugh... her grin in the last panel feeds my soul.
the best claireface
I love her so so so so so much. And Marten. Because he is PERFECT for Claire. This is truly awesome. ❤️
If Claire and Marten got married I’d die happy
Claire had a terribly difficult horribly stressful day, from deciphering the needs of a FBMELH, to having her sense of self worth accidentally being called into question by her mother, to a mixed sense of relief and shame by the actions of friends, to a tenderly sweet tete-a-tete with her beloved. Sleep deeply and peacefully, dear Claire, and arise refreshed
FBSEALH! Not to be That Guy but I remembered the initialism was almost pronounceable & it bugged me that I couldn't remember what it was so I looked it up. 😅 (Got some interesting Google suggestions along the way.) Anyway I guess that WAS today, despite it being a whole-ass month ago IRL.
OK I can't be the only one who wants racy Claire art now too, the shoulder freckles aren't helping 😶
I mean, have you met most of this fanbase? Pretty sure we would go for NSFW Crushbot pics and be happy.
Thanks for leaving us with this one for the weekend, Jeph!
fuck’s sake
That smile is pretty cute
Help this is too sweet and cute
I love Claire so much 😢
As a trans woman, Claire's punniness is relatable
Yes.
Her smile... unsettles me. I like it.
I love Claire and Marten as a couple. They both have their moments of self doubt and disagreement. But they both know how to be there for each other and just listen.
/golfclap Bravo!
oh christ
Deploy maximum Claireface!
I love these two so much.
Hey! I was gunna say that!
OMG CLAIRE 😄
That smile at the end. Glad she's feeling better 🥰
Love the expressions in the last panel :)
CLAIREFACE!
Claire yes
Claire is definitely goals body-wise. *sigh* just gotta get these last few pounds outta here. It's proving to be a monumental task no matter what I do :(
You got this! Keep working towards that goal!
I love Claire so much. And I love this wholesome two-of-them-in-bed-after-a-stressful-day-being-loving dynamic.
CLAIRE YES!
CLAIRE NO.
Claire yes.
I read that as reproduction by pudding and was confused for a second
I think that’s technically what yogurt is.
