A Good Walk Spoiled
RIP

How long has it been in universe since we've seen Marten? There's a lot of content in QC at this point and I lose track of the 'days'.
It's been about three weeks, I think.
Martin and Claire leave to join Nascar, but Martin's and Claire's previously unknown carbon copy cousins both move in and are instantly deeply unliked by all of us.
Hannelore tries to go with them, but they make her stay out of fear she'll be permanently replaced.
Honestly I’m not sure the community would take the death of Marten to be the end. QC has become so much more than it started out as, he’s just a fork of an ever evolving timeline at this point. You’re stuck with us Jeph, until the literal end ;-)
No, sorry. I've been following for close to 10 years now, and if Jeph felt it necessary to write Marten out of the comic, I would be completely done.
Fore!
Its like Marten is in a chill-competition. The only opponent that has ever come close is himself and he always ends up beating himself by being more chill.
A chillpetition?
Marten gets hit by a golf ball, collapses, and wakes up in another webcomic. We learn QC was all a wacky dream. 5 points to anyone who gets the reference, 5 extra for fellow millennials or younger who get it.
Hah! You left out that he wakes up next to Suzanne Pleshette.
For someone with a trans girlfriend, Marten never fails to be the most bland of the main characters.
Perhaps that's because having a trans girlfriend should be utterly unexceptional.
Of course, Jeph would never choose to end the comic when he's a mere year from his 5000th page.
It would be really funny to end it at 4999
Marten seems questionably content here.
I read the comic and I’m like “what do social circles have to do with golf?” Duh!!! Talk about becoming blind to an idiom/metaphor.
willow very much gives me the vibes of someone to whom social cues did not come naturally or easily, so she painstakingly learned them on her own, but still struggles with them and is painfully aware of her shortcomings. not that i know how that feels from experience or anything 😇
I have exactly zero clue of what you speak. 🫣
Not the ending I expected, but in canon.
GOLF BALLS FALL, EVERYONE DIES
Well, there’s a major theory out there that at the end of the Cretaceous Period there was indeed a mass extinction event caused by a falling Gulf (of Mexico) ball (of rock).
Poor Marten. He shall be missed
rip in spaghetti
Requiescat in pasta.
The universe just keeps wanting to pun-ish Marten
I hope Willow independently bumps into the entire main cast, and one day she shows up at a party and everyone’s like “wait, how do YOU know her?”
Willow arrives, confused, clutching the seven separate invitations she received.
I'm just loving Pintsize's vibe in this arc!!
Secretly Willow is an evil genius carefully collecting together an elite team of specialists & rubes to pull off a diabolical plan for a yoga-burrito-drone-buttlicking empire. MWAHAHAHA!
You frighten me, but count me in.
In the next panel, Pintsize is hit in the head by a croquet ball.
Do AIs keep their thinking parts in their heads?
Currently imagining Marten looking like he got thrown through the anime characters clothing discard bin. I like it.
Martin started this comic almost aggressively chill. Then his life got weird…at this point I’m not sure it’s physically possible to phase him.
You know, QC is what would happen if meeting friends online was made into reality.
Honestly, I now want Jeph to take a couple days off just for the drama that would occur if people thought one of the main characters was dead
Main character? I have no idea who this is.
