Too close to home, but that's why love this comic.
What do you want to bet Dale has delivered pizza to Aurelia?
but they were both high so neither remembers
"Area code"? 90% of the same-area-code calls I get these days are spam. The other 10%, there's no way to know whether they actually live close to me, or if they got their phone 15 years ago when they lived close to me but then they moved away forever.
Let me guess, as you say that, your own area code doesn’t match your current address either? 😉
Fun will be had
The references to the party at Emily's folks' lakeside house sort of indicates how loyal the QC readership is, viz., very loyal. I wonder how many started reading around when QC#1 appeared, and how many are latecomers like me who came in a few -- well, several -- years ago but have read through the whole epic (more than once).
I arrived in the low 100s and have probably only read the whole run maybe 5 or 6 times. I consider myself a low-key fan ;-).
Marigold in panel 3 🥹
oh no, I just realized this is our Friday page. ~<3
I'm in this photo and I don't like it.

Underrated comment
First words out of Marigold's mouth: "Wow, you look *so* *much* like my friend's girlfriend, it's amazing."
What if she happens to get there just as Claire is leaving for some reason xD "CLAIRE??? What are you doing at Mommymilkers' house?!?" Claire: "What are YOU doing at Mommym- I mean, my mom's house?!"
Aurelia panics and makes the SPECIAL cookies and she and Marigold inadvertently get incredibly high together and then produce the most popular stream in the history of the internet.
Oh no!
“Turns out I know your daughter. And your son. And your daughter’s boyfriend. And your daughter’s boyfriend’s anthroPC, although I wish I didn’t.”
Has Marigold met Clinton? I don't remember.
They were both at the cabin party
Did she even give her address? I think both of them just went into auto “mum & kid” mode that neither noticed until too late.
Again, relatable.
The town they live in is also the hometown of one of my favorite authors...e. m. foner.
And present home of one of my favorite authors, Kelly Link.
I read that as Condiment Phobia as didn't question it
Now the question I have: Does May come along with Marigold for bodyguard protection and does Yay arrive because Yay needs Cosmo scritches? How soon does Marigold decide she needs a house so she can have a pet of her own?
I’m sorry, that’s multiple questions. Your form only covers one. * points to your opening comment * Please select which of your questions should be approved for thinking about. Or we can find the paperwork to rescind this submission, and you can file a new inquiry once that clears, which should be… * looks at the backlog * “Two Weeks” (in QC time). 🙃
I feel seen ❤️
Jeph, please stop monitoring my internal monologues.
Milk and Onis? Burgers and Cookies?
I can't wait, this is exhilarating to experience from the outside.
There will be cookies though, which will make everything better.
“I’ve made a huge mistake.”
I’ve got a bad feeling about this.
"I didn't get her ADDRESS!" / "I didn't give her my ADDRESSS!"
Text. This at least is a soluble problem :)
This is how I get people to visit my house as well. I have memorized 4 cookie recipes
FOUR!? (Hmm... chocolate chip cookies. Chocolate chip oatmeal cookies. Bon Appetite's scones recipe-- which as far as my kids are concerned are "honorary cookies.") I'm gonna have to learn another.
It wouldn't be the first time Aurelia had a stranger in her home and baking was involved.
but one of those was dog biscuits for Azathoth and Mr. Snuggles.
last frame: me before going out the front door
It seemed like a good idea at the time.
teh hotness
The purity and goodness, you mean! OMG, I just realized, this could be the Great Yay May Convergence! The stars are aligning! The Old Gods arise!
There's a punchline on the horizon, and I can't see it yet? But it feels large.
Please tell me there is an odd, unlikely series of events where they both invite marten and he has a moral dilemma of what to do, dragged into this introverts quandary.
Hmm... Unlikely? However - She asks May to come as support/manager, May has a malfunction where crushbot falls on her (sorry, Roko, your demise is now a trope cuz May's chassis is too new) and calls Faye, Faye ends up seeing where it is (Claire's house), so Marten and Claire go with her?
Refresh my memory. How connected are Marigold-Dale-May to Claire-Clinton-Aurelia? They have a bunch of mutual friends in Marten-Faye-Dora, but have they directly interacted that much? (Well, there was the pool party at Emily's country house.)
Marigold was playing video games while Claire was revealing things to Marten.
Interacting with people is hard.
People are difficult.
Oh God, they could be oatmeal raisin!
Oatmeal Raisin cookies are the best.
A couple years ago an artist I follow started a discord. He had a small following- less than 100 of us in the group to start. Turns out I lived within 20 miles of one of the other members.
Those two are going to be best friends aren't they? As soon as they get past tonight. BTW, what kind of cookies? I believe Mrs Augusta's specialty is chocolate chip
Oh I love them. Also I can’t wait to see the final WAIT A MINUTE.
D'aw!
Introverts after every phone with a friend to go do anything social.
joke's on you. I never take phone calls because someone might try to trick me into being social.

You have a new daughter/mother. Just admit it
Wait until they realize......
