Pejo
Leaving my initial comment unedited as a testament to my wrongness. Also it's giving "Holy Roman Empire" SNL vibes š
Pejo
Not only is it not strictly an American holiday, but it's also not even a banking holiday. It's considered a federal holiday, but the stock market was open. TIL
alphanor
!!!
Stephen Wells
The promise is fulfilled!
legobil
I see I wasnāt the only one surprised by this. š„°
legobil
No comic todayā¦? šÆ I hope everything is alright with Jeph.
Leak
Or he's REALLY drawing the whole cast doing the "Turn Down For What" video... that's gonna take a while... D:
Joseph Bonnar
Jeph has a recent (5 hours old) post on Blusky. I'm guessing he may just have forgotten today's post. It happens, but very rarely.
Graydon Armstrong
He might be taking the day off for Remembrance Day in Canada. Did he take Labour Day off?
Heather King
Itās not just an American holiday. November 11th was specifically chosen because it was the day the Armistace for WW1 was signed. In the Commonwealth itās mostly known as Remembrance Day.
Bagge
Be the pride parade you wish to see in the world
Onyx
Same
Cancertopia
Yeah I was wondering too. I hope Jeph is doing okay
Pejo
No post tonight? I wondered if I had my days confused. I doubt the QC release schedule observes American banking holidays. š
Eric Lusby
Based on the last encounter I feel like Sven kept him safely out of eyeshot and earshot during fun times. Gotta protect your dino buddy's innocence.
Diptych
Slender Man really jumped the shark when they introduced his teenage sidekick, Slender Lad.
Miyaa
I thought they were the same thing.
Clifton Royston
The patrons have certainly been found wanting.
Clifton Royston
Write, right, you're bloody well right. You gotta bloody write, to say.
alphanor
You really don't have to try that hard!
Yonatan Zunger
Any hookup can be illicit if you try hard enough.
A. J. Alfieri-Crispin
Heās got a Rosebud named Richard?
alphanor
Good one.
alphanor
Mayyybe, but probably not.
alphanor
Anh is leaving. Unless she and Sven hook-up later and somehow end up in his old bedroom, I don't think she will have the opportunity to quiz Richard.
alphanor
But I love Jeph's imagination!
joFinndian
š
Richard Lindquist
THE DINOSAUR. I totally forgot lmao
Miyaa
āCareless Whispersā starts playing for Richard.
enchantedsleeper
In that case, we should just imagine everything that happens in the comic from now on! Jeph can retire :D
Joe
I'll let Jeph correct me, but the shape of her nose and chin are virtually identical to Tai - guessing Cleo is her sister.
alphanor
But imagination is everything.
enchantedsleeper
*HIP SLAM*
enchantedsleeper
But we didn't see it xD
Joe
stage name or porn name??
allanfranta
@bookbeard: Crushed and broken?
allanfranta
Late night (or early morning) eggs, bacon, greasy potatoes and Orange juice or coffee and toast are the best hangover remedies. There are no cures.
alphanor
Veronica is in the first panel with Tai's parents; I presume at that point that she has at least talked to them.
Leak
This is gonna turn into a reenactment of the "Turn Down For What" music video starring the whole QC cast, isn't it?
Michael Phillips
I'm assuming she knows about Richard and will not allow him to be destroyed. Her manners aren't much better than that but they are better than that
Philip Masters
As he's currently a small static construct, that wouldn't be difficult.
Opus the Poet
He's Lego he can be put back together. Might be a little harder if they lost the instructions, but I'm sure they could find a copy on the Internet somewhere.
Philip Masters
I get the impression that Anh is somewhat adventurous and a little bit narcissistic. She'll probably spend a lot of time thinking and talking about this revelation, because it's all about her; whether she ever acts on it would be another matter. (I mean, we don't know for sure whether she really is bi, or whether she's just confused envy and admiration for desire, or maybe Hanners would be her only female object of interest.) Personally, I'm holding on to the hopes that she ends up being Pintsize's new human companion. They'd be a great couple. Chaos squared.
Philip Masters
The idea of Lego selling AI modules in the setting has a certain charm. I mean, I don't know how many AIs would volunteer to inhabit them, but I get the impression that some would.
Philip Masters
Beds can be replaced. The trauma for Richard may be harder to fix. I mean, he may go completely to pieces.
Mark
Fairly certain that it won't https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3765
David Paul
Why would I be jealous of that Nanoblock knock-off watching Faye and Bubbles in all their glory... š²š¤Æš
enchantedsleeper
That we know of...
enchantedsleeper
That's Faye! C'mon now. (Joking xD)
enchantedsleeper
I think she's gleeful xD
enchantedsleeper
Aw, it's over already? And we never did see Veronica meeting Dora's parents - or Tai's...
Salodni Ikkis
I'm not sure the bed will survive Bubbles
Mitsuki Ayane
damn... did I call it? ~<3
Simon Green
They got off on Dick!
Graydon Armstrong
Lucky guy.
Graydon Armstrong
Or blindfolded? But I don't think she's a switch.
Tim Mitchell
āGet off toā *snerk*
BookBeard
Would that make him a T. Sex?
Shawn K. Younkin
WRONG!
William Cole
šāāļø
BookBeard
Dora established that Richard was made of Lego, but this is the QCverse so I suppose it could still be sentient... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5411
ValdVin
Could Mr. Stallion and his wife use Sven's bedroom? They're married, and it's for illicit hookups.
Dean Reilly
Sven is only a slender lad.
Dean Reilly
Assuming she remembers all of this tomorrow...
Opus the Poet
Automotive leaf springs are easy to make into swords. You just need to use a ball peen hammer on the back side of the spring to de-arch it. Then hammer the edge to thin it down and shape the tip. I'm simplifying of course, but that's about the size of it.
Aerin Moriarty
Did we determine if Richard was just a toy Dino or some kind of AI?
Green
Only in videos š¤£
Opus the Poet
Richard's mind is about to be blown.
Anthony Gaglianese
Anyone else kind of jealous of Richard at this point?
William Cole
The thought of Faye & Bubbles destroying Sven's bed seems yo have instantly cheered up Tai.
alphanor
Sven is looking straight up in the last panel, so perhaps they should move to another room?
William Cole
Maybe, but he DEFINITELY hasn't seen what's happening now.
BookBeard
It died as it lived.
legobil
Am I the only one who feel stolen of a loud comedic *crack* as the structural integrity of Svenās bed and/or poor Richard gives way?
William Cole
Schroedinger's hookups! All liaisons in Sven's room are simultaneously licit & illicit!
Drazi
Who's full throating what now?
BookBeard
They can do both.
BookBeard
True, but it certainly can alter one's acceptance of it. Hence Anh's assertion that she was going to "re-embalm" her newly realized feelings. But perhaps her chat with Faye was sufficient to break her out of that loop. Only time will tell.
alphanor
And if she is cereal compatible with Steve.
alphanor
Well said!
alphanor
Sven level reinforcements would not be up to Bubbles level requirements.
alphanor
But it was where it was supposed to be because that's where Tai informed everyone that that was where any illicit hookups would be, ergo it's an illicit hookup.
JCfromNC
I really, *really* want to see Anh's morning after, both to know how much of all this she remembers and how she reacts to it. Will she confront her new feels, or will she bury them deep, deep down where they won't surface again until the next time she's drunk? Personally, I'm betting on the latter but the former would be better story material.
JCfromNC
And nothing makes a hangover worse than being dehydrated, which is what the alcohol is doing to your system. Peeing is a small price to pay for not waking up to a thumping headache.
Fart Captor
@Am Queue, booze does not actually alter one's sexuality, fyi
Todd Ellner
You should. Text to speech is imperfect
Todd Ellner
Ducking auto carrot
Green
Somehow I doubt Richard hasn't already seen quite a lot during Sven's teenaged years...
Carl Fink
Right.
Miyaa
I am betting tomorrow, we switch to Momo, May, and Iris participating in Willowās yoga class.
Miyaa
If that is the case, we need to know what is Cleoās breakfast routine.
Shawn K. Younkin
It is PERFECT!
Shawn K. Younkin
We have the technology. We have the capability to build the worldās first bionic dinosaur⦠Richard will be that dinosaur. We can make him better than he was before Betterā¦Strongerā¦Faster!
jonesnori
Well, Cleo seems to be going home with Anh, but it's possible that Steve is going there, too. I can't tell.
Mad Marie
Richard's stage name is "Cretaceous Dick"
Mad Marie
This comment is one of the "Collapse replies"
Skye
bed repairs ;)
Am Queue
Cue Veronica being blindsided...
Travis Young
It wasn't illicit, it was expressly where it was supposed to be!
Am Queue
We'll see if it lasts past the hangover.
Andrew
Iām sure Anh will quiz Richard later.
Sean Kinlin
Bedsprings do not spring eternal.
Captain Button
To make into swords?
Sean Kinlin
He misbehaved in some other room, and nobody has discovered it yet.
Sean Kinlin
Put it in his Almanack.
Clifton Royston
Cleo first appeared as one of the bridesmaids, although we didn't know her name at that point. She and Tai seem to be old friends.
Erica Koch-Johnston
Is Steve going home with Cleo? š
Matthew Van Gangelen
Richard! Avert your eyes!
Claudia D.
If you "right" the almanack, you correct it; there are things in QCās universe that Benjamin Franklin never thought of in his wildest dreams, so yes, āPoor Richardās Almanack" would need a LOT of "righting". But maybe Todd just got betrayed by voice-to-text and *meant* write and I should just go to sleep.
Miyaa
Yup, and as I said a few pages ago, Iām sure Faye will recommend a good replacement bed for Svenās childhood ego.
Melissa Wilson
Why wouldnāt Sven have already had that bed duly reinforced?!?
sjlxndr
Right.
voyager-ngc5195
That bed's thumped it's last sprung...
alphanor
!!!
BookBeard
Faye will take it upon herself to rebuild Richard. By the time she's done he'll be 12 feet tall and poop industrial quantities of espresso.
Sleepy John
Yes, she must drink a lot of water, because nothing improves a hangover like a desperate need to pee.
Wynn Donivan
A sexual tyrannosaurus, now!
BookBeard
A few days later a shipping container arrives on Anh's front lawn containing $80,000 worth of pride flags. She has no memory of ordering them.
Diptych
Full-throated denial has flipped over to full-throated acceptance. Good for her!
Ashley Thomas
really hope richard is ok. but if not if anyone could rebuild him its faye and bubbles.
alphanor
But he's a tyrannosaurus!
alphanor
Although it's not over yet, there is still time for waywardness.
alphanor
write?
alphanor
I really like the bemused facial expression Tai has in the last panel. She is appreciating the situation!
alphanor
But this is Sven's presumably 'normal' non-reinforced bed.
Carrie
Indeed!
alphanor
The magenta haired woman is Cleo, introduced earlier when she and Steve were also making use of Sven's bed for an illicit hookup.
Todd Ellner
You could right a whole almanack about the things poor Richard saw tonight
Joseph Houk
I don't know, maybe right... about... there?
schmod
Who's Ahn's friend?
Grace Kieser
It's always heartening to see that moment when they break out of the closet and get obnoxious with their queerness! <3
Doc Gumby
Can't believe Pintsize behaved himself.
Wynn Donivan
Requiescat in Parasaurolophus
Thunder
Honestly, at this point I think it's Sven's fault for not taking Richard out of the room with him.
Joel Bateman
What a Dick.
Jim Sharkey
Poor Richard, he does not deserve that.
KingAtticus
Richard getting the ultra secret Patreon material š
Michael Boettger
Didnt Bubbles do a major structural upgrade to their bed when she first moved in.
SpazzyC
Which room is underneath? That area should be avoided in case of structural failure.
Andrea Andrew
Finally! I knew that was coming!
MikeT
I hope it's reinforced
Fart Captor
Awwww, baby gaaaaaaaaay
Skye
gonna need some more truck springs
Not that Patrick Foltz
The bed was found wanting
Brendan Luster
implied butts
Simon Vaillancourt
RIP that bed
Sammitch
Faye and Bubbles are assessing the loadbearing capabilities of Sven's bed, and Richard is supervising.
