Word Gets Around

So the first two were true and the others are plausible.

Sort of like being a big fish in a small pond, I guess. She's a stern pillar of sanity in a goddamn riot of whimsy.

"I never tried, so... maybe?" Big mood. Claire, as a fellow red-haired nerdy trans girl that feels (potentially) capable of taking on the world but slightly overwhelmed but rather up to the challenge, you feel like a projection of myself into this comic.

It's not a denial!!

I see a pointy boi!!! :D

The more I see of Cubetown, the more I'm sure Cyriak is a regular there: https://youtu.be/SuQGfk9Gmgo

I regret to inform you that whales are not reptiles. They have penises and vaginas. https://outforia.com/how-do-whales-mate/

Just found this, re: The Director: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2285

Claire, no. I think you and Clinton have enough family resemblance without matching robot hands.

weelll, if she can do even half as good as Jeph, I'll be VERY highly impressed!!

"I've never tried, so I don't KNOW that I can't." "Can't" is such a fatalist word. I'm terrible at juggling tennis balls, so if I picked up three swords and tried to juggle, the results wouldn't be good. That said, I truly believe that we can become competent (not pro-level, necessarily) at anything given time and effort*, so, I would say that EVENTUALLY, I probably could juggle swords if given the time to learn and practice. *I want to acknowledge that this isn't necessarily true, as some of us have limitations that would prevent us from doing certain things, but the main point is, I don't believe there is much of anything in this world that is simply an innate talent.

I heard she shushed a man in Reno just to watch him cry.

I would kill to have a cool yet mysterious nickname like The Librarian

Yelling bird did the whale one, probably

i heard that if you don't pay your late fee, she vaporizes you with her laser eyes

I love that Marten is part of the lore now

Having the souls of her victims in a glass vial around her boyfriend's neck is a hell of an image. I like Claire as the non-murderer that she is, but it's still a compelling idea.

Are you proud of that one, Marten? Huh? Because you should be.

I heard she's a direct descendant of Conan the Librarian

I heard she eats people who have excessive late fees and defecates completed Dewey index cards.

I heard she was secretly Alice

This is the best timeline!!

Very difficult to do since whales don't have cloacas.

I Heard A Rumor that she can hear what you're saying about her Right NOW.

I heard she's faster than a speeding building and can leap large bullets in a single bound!

Hi Ollie!!!

I hear she knows every book in the Library of Congress by its first name.

I heard that every time you repeat a rumor about her, your overdue fees increase by One Cent and one PERCENT.

Is that a Futurama-style bot in panel 2 on purpose, or just a "great minds" thing? It even has Futurama-style bot teeth.

I guess word of mouth is a bit more efficient with a built in internet connection

I heard she went back in time and slapped Melvil Dewey upside the head!

Thinking “I’ve never juggled swords, so maybe?” is exactly how Cubetown works.

I see some not so subtle callbacks to Tai's experiences in the SMIF library here....must run in the profession

That's clinches it, sorry Montreal I am off to Cube town.

ok i'm onboard with this Claire "i heard she blah blah blah " meme. That's the Librarian. I heard that when the Inquisitiorial Fleet came to CubeTown, she submitted willingly to Traitorai Mental Testing to save us from Exterminatus. When the Inquisitor interrogated her she resisted all probing only to willingly give way to a vault of pure faith that killed the Inquisitor with her purity.

“…so it all started when Moray-42069 mistook the orca’s blowhole for its cloaca…”

Some solid street cred

Dibs on the band name "Whale Cloaca"

Moray can juggle LIQUID SWORDS

Rumor particle accelerator is the greatest phrase ever

Fear Claire of the Clayr, wearer of the Black Waistcoat whose number is five. "Three and Four are Stone and Mortar. Five sees all in Frozen Water."

Start with clubs, then move to well balanced machetes. These are wonderful - https://www.dube.com/knife/ God lord, I bought mine ages ago but they were probably just as pricey back then.

I love Cube Town

It isn't a Library until Noah Wyle and Christian Kane show up.

Conversations that precede bloodshed.

"I heard she uses the blood of undergrads to dye her hair..."

She'll know she's earned the title when an orangutan drops by, hands her a list of rules to follow, then vanishes around a corner that isn't there.

I see that "Librarian" is already capitalized. How long until both "The" *and* "Librarian" are capitalized?

Typo: “ *Sword Gets Around”

"I heard her brother once jacked off so hard, his hand fell off!"

Any chance Claire's shushing skills were learned a bit from Marten? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2212

I heard she looked at the sun, and the sun went blind

Some old school QC art style looking people in the background

I heard she punched Yelling Bird in the cloaca.

This is all more evidence that Claire is qualified for the job, because she will be able to impose order through fear.

I heard she has 2 fendi purses, and a silver lexis.

I think I love “rumor particle accelerator”.

These are the kinds of rumors I want spreading whenever I start a new job. Well done, Claire.

Do robot bodies get cold, or is that AI just wearing a winter hat and scarf because they like the style?

Claire the Cryptid!

And a surprising number of Organic at Cubetown.

So if the librarian gig fails, Claire can get a gig at a sideshow? Nice.

Sword juggling will be Sam's career in the future. The Cubetown Municipal Rumor Particle Accelerator uses tachyons in the side loops, so temporal errors happen.

Wait do whales have cloaca?

Claire is Cubetown's Chuck Norris

Oh I'm so early there no comments yet? I heard she took all the comments hostage. /Jk

OMG I love Cubetown so much!! 😍❤️

Turns out Claire has an 8-pack.
