Heloooo moon man...

Below the thunders of the upper deep, Far, far beneath in the abysmal sea...
I know some people have been saying Claire will be Director by the end of all of this, but I'm thinking Assistant Director....
The true "alien" from the movie "The Abyss" xD
The real aliens were the annoying, incompetent friends she made along the way.
My Friend Totorobotjellyfish.
Totally here for Claire's Captain Kirk moment, tolerating shenanigans until it's time for a direct confrontation with the Big Mind, resulting in revelations for both (but mainly the Big Mind)
She's going to sell them Martin for 40,000 Quaatloos.
I feel like these little glimpses are teaching me more about how Claire's head works. It would be reasonable to be creeped out and scared entering a dark room to meet an unknown and apparently pretty unreliable person. She's either too pissed to be scared, or hiding her fear, or this genuinely isn't the part that bothers her.
Claire is such a great main character <3
Claire has become the protagonist, and I'm about it.
Ignore the little man behind the curtain...
You mean Gary?
This was inevitable.
Clair isn't high enough to deal with today
Or IS she? Are we 100% sure this isn't some chemically induced hallucination, from like gas vents back in the room?
I love the color and light of this comic. Forgetting for a moment the events unfolding, which are interesting and which I'm into, I'm really just digging the way the light illuminates Claire in panel 3
Claire is not impressed
This comic used to be about a boy and a girl sitting around making jokes about Radiohead and Arcade Fire. Now the boy's girlfriend is having a job interview in Canada with a giant psychedelic robot jellyfish while the girl is back at their place with her ex-war-machine android girlfriend.
19 years of progress, right?
On the other hand, Claire's good side might win out, and she'd end up feeling like Counselor Troi in the conclusion of "Encounter at Farpoint": https://youtu.be/HBKp3-Vh-60?t=135
Claire, come to the DARK SIDE. (We have coffee!)
If Claire's really pissed, she might treat The Director as if it were Boss #1 from NES RoboWarrior: https://youtu.be/J7S0u3taPPU?t=37
Oh nice, I was not expecting a TAZ crossover!
Damn, Claire is looking extra thicc in panel three
I think Claire has officially had enough of this shit.
In panel 2, the Director is just talking in circles.
Or. The Director is using a form of telepathy to communicate to humans..
They're beautiful!
IT'S ME HI I'M THE GIANT PSYCHEDELIC ROBOT JELLYFISH IT'S ME
GDI now that meme is in my head.
Somebody's gotta do the tentacle porn
I can’t believe we finally got to meet Gyarados Skullfucker’s uncle Tentacruel
At least it wasn't Cthulhu.
it's Cthulu Lite TM
I AM THE VOIDFISH… LONG HAS BEEN MY BENDER… IN MY HALLUCINATIONS… A CUBE APPEARED AND WAS SURROUNDED BY AN ISLAND, WITH PEOPLE, ANIMALS, AN ENTIRE WORLD! BUT, VERILY, IT BE THE NATURE OF BENDERS TO END! WHEN I DOST SOBER UP, CUBETOWN WILL BE GONE… ONLY THE MEMORY OF THIS HALLUCINATION LAND WILL EXIST IN THE SOBER WORLD… SOMEDAY, THOU MAY RECALL THIS ISLAND… THAT MEMORY MUST BE THE REAL IMAGINARY WORLD… COME, CLAIRE… LET US SOBER UP… TOGETHER!! PLAY THE EIGHT INSTRUMENTS! PLAY THE SONG OF SOBERING!!
Claire i feel like you're not embracing the vibe of this place
I just love how grounded she is 😍
Don't body-shame the AI, Claire.
She's not body-shaming it. Just remarking on how conceptually out-there the director is. The off-the-charts levels of extra, if you will :P
Needs googly eyes
I was thinking it would be an octopus but a jelly is better.
*peanut better.
IT'S THE VOIDFISH
She needs to carve it a little wooden duck!
Dammit, I put all my chips on crab. I'm going back to the blackjack table.
Mmm… crab chips.
Oh hey, new AI speech bubble
Bloop!
Based on the coloration, is its name John Sullivan?
my best friend the giant artificially intelligent jellyfish
I am pleased and both surprised and not surprised. Why would an Uber-AI not have any form it wanted?
I love it and I want to hug it and I think it wants to hug Claire. And now i think Moray may have budded off of the Director.
New headcannon accepted.
At this point what else would you expect?
I was kind of expecting a giant crustacean
What's the odds on this being some kind of Wizard of Oz style situation and the jellyfish is a hologram?
Any minute now a little kid is going to offer her a glass of tranya
WELL WE WERE ALL EXPECTING THAT RIGHT?
With a little more research, this probably didn't have to be a surprise. Probably on the org chart on the web page somewhere.
Bold of you to suggest they have an org chart, let alone a functioning website
This is quite awesome. Also I can FEEL her deep sigh of “why should I expect anything else?” And the gloopy speech bubbles are also cool. Remind me of Morpheus/Sandman. So of course I hear the Director’s voice as sort of echoey. Can’t decide pitch though.
I definitely read "psychotic" to begin with!
It can be both!
There could be a "pay no attention to that being behind the curtain" moment coming up. Also, the Director and Moray could be made of the same gelatinous substance, but Moray prefers a humanoid shape.
Let's hope this habitat is more durable than the Aquadom in Berlin...
Based on what we've seen, breaking this one would let water in, not out.
I've never wanted to see QC turned in to a TV series (a movie would be too short) more than I do right now. Animated or live-action.
Working on turning webcomics into animations is something of a hobby of mine!
Why did I assume it was going to be Pintsize?
I blame tropes, somehow.
Sad the Director isn't "floating black slab emitting a low hum." https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4643
Could be a remotely controlled body, though
Genre change time
And yet Claire is unfazed. Because of course she is, why would anything surprise her at this point?
Claire: No compromise. No Talk. EAT THE JELLYFISH. GAIN ITS POWER.
Add nepotism to the growing list of Cubetown ills. Moray and The Director are clearly kinfolk.
Pretty!
I think we're all jumping the gun on the giant glowy spacejelly being the Director. Possibly, that is just the Director's desk lamp.
or the secretary.
I am here for Claire channeling the Doctor.
Kinda getting a Matt Smith vibe from her wardrobe, now that you mention it. All she needs is a bow tie.
So far not the worst run startup I've ever seen. No active fraud, just staggering incompetence and playing in the VC money firehose. Will revise if the giant space Jellyfish has no actual qualifications and managed to get everything started through pure nepotism.
Just the adopted grandchild of a junior senator and dropped out of their MBA program, nothing major.
No normal blocky AI speech bubbles for the Director. Of course they're wobbly and amorphous.
The comparison Yay made with giant squid is uncomfortably close to mind.
SQUISHY FRIEND I LOVE
The resemblance to Yay is uncanny.
With the critical difference being "politeness."
Pan-dimensional intergalactic being?
More like Cthulhu with all the invincibility stars from all the Super Mario games. No blue shell could wreck it.
That disappointed feeling you get when you realize that probably nothing will surprise you anymore.
Honestly I’d welcome that as someone with autism. I got spooked by my own mom last night.
I definitely think we all got it wrong. I would also be asking if I could go change my pants after meeting that.
Not that far off from cupressaceae
VOIDFIIIIIIIIIIIISH!
Glad I'm not the only one who thought this! Hello fellow TAZ fan XD
Claire is way too annoyed to be in awe right now.
Claire is the most Done she's ever been and that's saying something considering her brother and living with Pintsize
I mean given the opportunity, who WOULDN'T want to be a giant psychedelic robot jellyfish?
I am more of a giant psychedelic robot octopus person myself.
Does this mean Moray is a direct spawn of this marvelous being? Looks equally squishy but more glowy.
I was JUST wondering that...
hi 👋🐙
that may just be what they project, not what they are, necessarily (slab or yay still possible)
ASK YOUR QUESTIONS YOUNG MAIDEN
To quote Uhura: "Sorry, neither."
Fascinating. Well, let’s see how this goes.
Ooo early
Squishy.
Preeeeeetty
Woah
