Captain Button

Yes. 8~~~-({ They put a memorial to him in the "Burning Shores" DLC to "Horizon Forbidden West", on the edge of one of the mesas.

Elf Sternberg

@BookBeard the thing about 1695 is, didn't they already cover that in 603?

Elf Sternberg

Grief, Lance Reddick really did an awesome number playing Sylens. I was so bummed to hear he passed away and couldn't voice the sequel.

Mark

'Grandfather Penis!' https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3722

Bill Silvia

She seemed pretty open to it as long as it wasn't a surprise, though.

Grace Kieser

And now I have the Little Mermaid playing in my head...

Jonathan Bastow

... Most depraved? I'm sorry sir, but do the words "Happy Birthday Grandma!" ring any bells?

Jax

Just proves Jeph has been a sick sick boy for longer than I thought.

Green

Way way waaaay back when Dora and Marten first started dating, Dora asked if he was into it bc another boyfriend had surprised her with it and she did NOT want to experience that trauma again

OldGoat

There's no need to squeeze a pigeon. Just ask any statute of a Civil War general.

Danny insert meta joke here Roose

Well_we're_waiting.gif

Flounder

This is unhinged and I love it.

legobil

If Moray does a spit take. Would that reduce her in size?

legobil

Moray: imma make this weird. Readers: how weird? Moray: yes.

Jax

Well, the title of the comic is Questionable Content, so water sports were bound to come up sooner or later.

Kuragari

I have been behind on reading QC lately, but this is a hell of a spot to get caught up to. I love goblin mode Liz, it's like Tourette's, but she kinda sorta knows better.

Philip Masters

According to Wikipedia, most coffee experts say that there's actually nothing special about civet coffee; it's mostly a gimmick.

Philip Masters

Only that Veronica said that she wanted out of the fetish scene, when she explained BDSM to Jim he looked mildly bemused but not enthused, and there's never been any mention of them going in for anything other than an entirely conventional relationship. There was no sign of anything especially unconventional when we saw them in bed together. So, sure, they may indulge in any kind of kink when the bedroom door is closed, but at the very least, they're keeping it private.

Bill Silvia

Almost every cold brew I've had has been very anti-smooth.

Bill Silvia

Boof the gal

Bill Silvia

This comment taught me an important lesson about checking the comments section while in a work meeting.

Melissa Wilson

“…mutual self-interest? Now, that is a solid bedrock, upon which you & I might build a new science of understanding." 😁 *adding to cart* 📀 Much obliged! 😉🙏

KingAtticus

Do not boof the gal

Nulgar

I stand corrected, then.

joFinndian

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS lol

alphanor

Does Liz even try??

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

steady on, there

Stephen Wells

So Liz's normal components are entirely imaginary? That makes sense! (for certain values of sense)

enchantedsleeper

AND when you have a fetish!

enchantedsleeper

I love this Dora-Sam-Faye dynamic xD

Rawrisaur

Nah nah nah… Suck them titties, Marten. Suck them titties. [InB4 someone draws Rule34 of this]

legobil

Moray, you boofgall.

Evan Embree

This is it! We have our new coffee shop dynamic and I could not be happier!! A caffeinated Goblin, the worlds most extroverted ameba, and Marten's point of view as the most stable anchor in reality! Peak content, this is why taking breaks is so important. J took the time he needed and came back swinging!

Darnel D Cooper

Probably? Holy spit.

William Cole

She does, but they are all in the complex plane.

William Cole

It's true Liz is channeling some OG Pintsize energy.

William Cole

Yes, 5094 was the one I was thinking of. I had forgotten 1695. Well spotted, both of you!

ValdVin

Winslow Squeezing is not yet a fetish? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5253

Captain Button

[Sylens_Grin] Then my work here is done. [/Sylens_Grin] (There is a remastered version out now with better graphics if you can afford it and have a system that can run it.)

Ursus Ridens

Cold-brew has all the additional flavor notes that I was strictly taught, long ago, that one doesn't want. If you like it, I'm happy for you.

Ursus Ridens

...'cause that's what you do when you're nineteen.

Ursus Ridens

Oh. It's a cold-brew place? I...I have to leave.

Mark Eichin

https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5308 (Clinton, Moray, "can't do math anymore") (didn't go digging, just got stuck reading forward from the Pigeon Squeezing one a few threads over and stumbled on it :-)

Melissa Wilson

@Captain Button Great, thanks so much! Now I *have* to start a new play through of H:ZD all over again. All of life is suffering. 🎭

BookBeard

Less fridge, more cabinet. Better for hiding. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2461

BookBeard

For a rather more overt golden shower reference you have to go even further back. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1695

Spell Craft

I was considering calling back to that but I figured someone already had.

Spell Craft

I am very glad there is no $5 reward associated with this strip.

Egos

To be fair have you seen a fat pigeon. They are begging to be squeezed

Stephen Wells

I think the dialogue in "Appleboom!" "Titties!" is right up there :)

Robert Heinig

With pee involved shouldn't it be "LMDO"?

Chris Warren

Liz is the Greek chorus that Marten deserves.

James Anthony

Now that you mention it, I remember something similar.

Andrew

I don't think so? According to an earlier comic, she forgets how to do math if you take that nodule off the top of her head.

Stephen Wells

...and she did have another beer after that...

Stephen Wells

I don't think Liz has any non-kinky sides tbh

James Anthony

That raises the question, is she still "in contact" with the liquid inside her if it leaves her body?

Michael Keogh

If Moray had a nipple for every time someone said that, she wouldn’t have to!

Natalia Uribe Wilson

OMG I love Liz.

Andrew Herrera

That last frame got me. I didn't expect it and have to explain to my wife what's happening.

strngbirdx@gmail.com

So...Liz has a kinky side?

Captain Button

Just noticed another QC fetish mentioned in passing, Pigeon Squeezing: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5256

alphanor

Please don't! That whole subject has really bad vibes.

Sean Morgan

OK good. At least he has cold brew and isn't completely slacking. Now, has he learned what a pour over is? He could be a coffee-focused shop rather than an espresso-focused shop. Was a fairly big thing in San Diego to differentiate that way. (Not that I think that's what's up, but its a way to go...)

Tao Gold

Oh! we finally get to see behind the counter! now we just need a behind the counter shot from coffee of doom to compare.

Opus the Poet

Cubetown reminds me of an old SciFi network program called Eureka, without the potentially world-ending plot points. And off the east coast of Canada instead of the PNW.

Opus the Poet

@Miyaa I remember that but I don't know what strip it was.

librarypunk

Pintsize returns

JacklynRabbit

You know, after two decades the punchline on this one might be the most feral thing in QC so far and I'm here for it

Opus the Poet

Sounds like Alf's cat juice 😝

Opus the Poet

Ba-dum, tish!

Opus the Poet

Marten is too chill to be a villain, despite the meme of chillin' like a villain.

Creeperkry

I'm noticing a trend with Liz... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5007

Creeperkry

It's one of her powers! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5048

enchantedsleeper

Maybe she's just certified within Cubetown?

Robert L

5094 has "I'm a veritable font of confidence." "And I wish to be bathed in your glorious fluids!", at least.

Claudia D.

And WHERE IS YAY?

Halloween Jack

Liz has not developed the "telling on your own kink" filter yet, and may never.

Am Queue

... Do we have any evidence that the relationship is vanilla?

Claudia D.

Gross, Liz, just GROSS!!! And anyway, Moray has an extrudable spigot at the base of her neck to share. It is known.

William Cole

Summoning Bookbeard! Wasn't there a fairly recent strip of someone inadvertently using golden shower-adjacent language? Maybe Zlata explaning why she wanted to work with Claire?

Matthew Borus

So Marten makes cold brew--good! There may be a bit more to this coffeeshop than I feared!

William Cole

That's her secret, Cap. She's always a goblin.

William Cole

Per the old schoolyard chant: "Milk, milk, lemonade. Around the back, fudge is made."

Philip Masters

I thought that Veronica had got tired of the fetish scene, and was very happy to get into a very vanilla relationship.

Philip Masters

Make it with Kopi luwak beans.

Philip Masters

If you can sell people Kopi luwak coffee, you could sell them this.

Opus the Poet

Bitter almonds poisoned Napoleon.

gunks

Damnit Liz, I choked on my oatmeal

Mitsuki Ayane

Liz screaming about her fetishes again. ~<3

jarwain

Just cuz she wasn't Certified we safe doesn't mean she isn't. It's not like she was certified dangerous ykno?

Philip Masters

I thought that Moray said she wasn't certified as safe for oral use by the Canadian authorities?

Opus the Poet

And started breathing really heavy over it.

Opus the Poet

Cold brew is really smooth, I could really go for a cup now.

Stephen Wells

We have already established that she springs leaks when she gets excited...

Stephen Wells

Any form of metabolism will by definition generate waste heat, thermodynamics requires it.

Melissa Wilson

I’d suggest pricing in alignment with the Good Advice at Coffee of Doom

Melissa Wilson

Possibly my favorite line from all of QC… Even better than my old roommate’s line, when responding to undesirable pick-up attempts: “It burns when I pee.” 🙃

David Paul

$69 and a polite letter.

Melissa Wilson

Because rule 34!

Melissa Wilson

As opposed to a drink? 🤣

Stephen Wells

Just remembered that Faye once suggested installing an espresso machine in May for similar reasons...

Melissa Wilson

My sister-in-law uses “Beige-blaming”

The World Famous Chocomerican

Would.

Uncle Matt

If you can't deal with a little golden shower joke, urine dangerous territory......

Stephen Wells

Moray is fully autonomous and able to make her *own* terrible decisions.

Nulgar

Is she? She doesn't seem to operate on electricity that'd cause waste heat, so unless whatever chemical(?) reactions power her produce enough heat, she's room temperature.

Boots McGoot

you'd be drinking Director so would they also need to consent? or does being fully autonomous remove that aspect? much to ponder

enchantedsleeper

I like hot coffee, but cold brew is said (by many) to be this awesome thing and I just don't see (taste?) it 🤔

Nulgar

Jfc Jeph we almost went 5500 strips without a golden shower joke...

Gene

I don't think you're missing anything, I've never cared for it either. People just like different stuff

Stephen Wells

Or Claire's line is LET HER PEE IN MY MOUTH YOU COWARD and everybody learns something :)

runrin

if you made a patreon tier with semi-regular nsfw posts, you would make a lot of money...

SpookyPenguin

omg when is Liz going to yell YOU'RE NOT MY REAL DAD at Marten I cannot stand the suspense

Stephen Wells

Marten tells this story to Claire later and she has the same reaction as Liz...

Yelling Bird

Well, RELATIVELY new.

enchantedsleeper

I'll look into it, thank you 👀

Captain Button

Is she microwave safe?

Brian Yaras

Try Alton Brown's chicory cold brew. If you don't like that, you'll never like could brew. https://altonbrown.com/recipes/chicory-cold-brew/

enchantedsleeper

If someone French kissed coffee!Moray, they could probably get a good caffeine high.

enchantedsleeper

Omg xD

enchantedsleeper

This sounds eminently suited to Mr. I-want-to-fuck-a-black-hole Pintsize

enchantedsleeper

For you, YB, I'll be surprised if it's a "new" fetish xD

enchantedsleeper

To be fair, this would be a REALLY unique selling point for Mood Coffee's cold brew, and you KNOW there'd be people who would pay top dollar for it. (Pintsize knows all of them. In fact, Pintsize becomes Mood Coffee's overseas marketing rep and they start doing a ton of international business).

Salodni Ikkis

Sounds like Liz is volunteering

AngieWords

Return of Goblin Liz!

enchantedsleeper

Cold brew coffee is supposed to be super great, but I've never had one that I liked... Not sure what I'm missing. (And before anyone says "Moray", that's yet another tragedy of us not living in the world of QC. 😔)

Yelling Bird

Tomorrow? I've already been thinking it.

enchantedsleeper

I liked iced tea; nothing horrific about it

Bridgette Ryan

I mean, ngl, I do love coffee.... No! Tempt me not, goopy mistress!

Dissociated Women Incorporated

Cut to you dating several AI goo girls brewing various coffees

Creeperkry

Moray is heated, right? You could probably safely sous vide some steaks in her.

Elf Sternberg

What if this is the start of that (#2126)? Do you remember what started that? Dora shouts at Faye: "Why did you give him espresso? I told you not to give him espresso!" And what is Moray thinking about, er, absorbing?

Creeperkry

Well, I don't know what I was expecting but I'm certainly glad I listened to it 😄 Thank you for introducing me to this... song?

Elf Sternberg

"Sorry, you're very handsome, but I'm not really in the mood. Also, I haven't been evaluated by Health Canada for oral use." #5392

Elf Sternberg

Tomorrow, someone will be thinking, "New fetish unlocked."

Donna Flint

Glad it was just with laughter...

Onyx

I love Liz

Bagge

Liz just read a scene like that

Joshua

Well, they used her as a bong, so why not give it a shot? Or have the director spin a few more copies to test with. Chocolate, koolade, lemonade, iced tea to horrify some old Brits, maybe even jello?

Joshua

I just woke my wife up laughing.

Krestus

I know she is in Gremlin mode but this one time I have to agree with Liz... COWARD!

Chauncey

How much do I need to pay for THIS Patreon tier?! lol

Joe Bocanegra

That last panel had me choking on my coke. How dare you! XD

ljdbjlasfbjk

Claire: "That's MY job!"

William Cole

Okey, Jeph got me. I'm literally l-ing ol.

Corvus Cardia

Thank you! 😁

Jon

Liz just outta pocket with that one lol

Mikko Parviainen

I think I’ve heard ’vanillashaming’ used in that context.

Yelling Bird

Ok, this answers my question from last night, but it brings up even more...

Danielle Church

(applauds) Bravo. A+, no notes.

BookBeard

When a girl made of goo Turns herself to cold brew That's A Moray!

BookBeard

Yep. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5392

JD

could this be Marten’s villain origin story

Corvus Cardia

Veronica is definitely guilty of this 😂

Zak Reichle

You are remembering correctly, but @Bookbeard will have to give you the exact page and wording

Zak Reichle

Sad almonds just don't taste the same.

MikeT

Sounds like Liz just named Marten's new band

Corvus Cardia

@Bookbeard do I recall correctly that Moray told Sven that she hasn’t been verified by Canada Health for (human) ah, consumption?

Doc Gumby

Work up to the peeing. Breastfeed from her first.

Sean Kinlin

"They sounded just like the Clancy Brothers..."

Amy ☣

"Let her pee in your mouth, coward." Liz, dear, he's in a relationship. He should probably get Claire's permission first.

JMK

I fully expect to find this kink in Jeph’s naughty files.

Gopher on the Road

I don't think we've ever seen Liz's parents, one or many of them could be Yelling Bird.

Alan

I think the defining moment was probably May announcing that she had used a watermelon as a sex toy.

Thomas Baxter

COWARD

Alan

... I wonder how it would smell to an AI.

Jared Kolbly

That last line was not one I was expecting to read today. Plus, with how Moray positioned her arms, it feels like that was her intention.

Gary Walker

Just go ahead and wrap that Eisner up to go.

Sammitch

"Spot the Author's Fetishes Week" continues apace

Richard Lindquist

Seems like Liz has been reading some…Questionable Content.

Hawkeye

What kind of smut have you been reading, Liz? It sounds interesting…

Aditya Rameshan

Liz might need to take a break from the erotica😅😅😅

CthonicBelletrist

The Forbidden Brew a person can drink...but only once, probably.

Rémi Beaulieu-Dubé

Jesus christ, Liz. XD

Grace Kieser

If I remember correctly, Moray is mostly made of sea water, which would make for some terrible coffee! Not to mention whatever nanotech she has that actually powers her sapience. All in all, I'd say "Moray's Special Brew" would probably not be fit to consume by organics!

Jasper

This comic really living up to its name today

KiTA

We're gonna see either a nice mocha-colored Moray in a week or a Moray completely bombed out of her mind on caffeine or BOTH and I am absolutely here for it.

Miyaa

Getting his psychology degree online.

Andrea Andrew

Wow, kinky.

Melissa Wilson

When your friend swallows grounds & her fluids turn brown, that’s a Moray!

Grace Kieser

Liz seems to be fulfilling that role just fine!

Captain Button

Banned from Canada (and Switzerland).

Melissa Wilson

No way! I feel like Marten’s honed his boundary-setting skills to S+ class (largely due to mom’s illustrious career). He didn’t ask because he was interested in a sample…

Miyaa

So Amazon has civet coffee with the most expensive version get 4.4 stars on an average review. However, the standard high-ish end Illy averages 4.5 stars. But I can see Cubetown go wild about cat poop coffee like how wombats make cubed poop.

Mooster

Where is pintsize when ya need him?!

Captain Button

In the video game "Horizon: Zero Dawn" there is a side quest where you gather machine oil so a Banuk shaman named Brin can drink it and have mystical visions (which have some legit prophecy in them). There is a reference to him in the second game, but he does not appear. Obviously Moray is a pre-apocalyptic predecessor of him. (H:ZD could easily take place in the QC future, if the "Now Ends The Age Of Man" ever eventuates.)

Melissa Wilson

Hat tip for the horrific/hilarious flashback!

Todd C

OMG 😆

David Jackson

It's an objectively bad thing to do, and she should keep doing it for that reason

Melissa Wilson

LMFAO 🤣😂 For the first time in decades, I’m suddenly remembering “The Commercial” by King Missile (of “Detachable Penis” fame): “…Are ya icky? Are ya sticky? Are ya hot as anything? Hey! Blend yourself, process yourself, become a glass of animal juice! Haven't you had enough of fruit juices & vegetable juices? Next time company comes over, offer them a cool, refreshing glass of yourself! Give of yourself!" 🤣😂 …Man, why does my brain hang onto such horrible things?!? But seriously, let’s draw the line WELL before ingesting ANY volume of one another, regardless of known/unknown toxicity status… Liz needs to knock it off- friends don’t let friends drink friends.

Potato Moses

Pintsize was one of the first characters so I imagine yes, yes he did.

David Jackson

I know Jeph said he was done with Yelling Bird, but damned if Liz isn't giving Yelling Bird right now

Miyaa

I think he knew things had changed when he drew a virtual dong on Station’s persona. And later when then persona May complained her genitalia was pixelated to Faye.

Captain Button

What is the opposite of kinkshaming, where you hassle someone for not being into something? Anyway, Liz should stop doing it.

darklion

Liz needs her own strip where she constantly does chaotic neutral shit just to see what happens

Bridgette Ryan

Congratulations, JephJaques, you've just unlocked the "This better not awaken anything in me* badge!

Green

I'd do it but that's because I like trying new foods even when I'm pretty sure I'll hate it

SilverbackRon

Hahahaha, you got me with that one. 🤣

Taigan

Jeph, when you started this strip in 2003 did you ever imagine you’d be writing the dialogue “Let her pee in your mouth, you coward?”

LH

if there's coffee grounds involved it will be more of a ... brown shower

Green

I talk to my friends like Liz does so I feel very validated actually

Andrew Denton

I see that the gremlin's "research" is coming along....

Miyaa

One more reason why I prefer cocoa to coffee.

SilverbackRon

Maybe HE wants to taste her fluids... https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1293

Zak Reichle

Gremlizabeth never does anything by half measures, much like Yay

Richard Laxton

What's the difference between a garbanzo bean and a chickpea? I've never paid to have a garbanzo bean in my mouth!

Jon

JFC, Liz! 😭🤣🤣

ValdVin

"Moray's Special Cold Brew" will be the most sophisticated caffeine in Cubetown until they get civet coffee.

MoonieKitten

Marten is missing out on a HUGE money grab here, tbh, there's SO many people that'd be enthusiastically into drinking various AI fluids for whatever reason
