I'm sure someone else spotted it first, but props for the reading material and having Adams & Pratchett front & center. <3
Colleen Dewis
thank you for the warning!
Clifton Royston
Ah, I figured it out - it's 'The Hydrogen Sonata', rendered as 'The H₂ Sonata'. (Please admire my Unicode Subscript Two!)
legobil
Googling priapic echidnea lead me down a strange rabbit hole filled with strange four headed penises. Oh Beeps. Why you do this to me. 🍆💦
Clifton Royston
I can see we're all the same type of party people - zoom straight to the bookshelves and start scanning them.
Clifton Royston
Can anyone make out the book title between 'The Wasp Factory' and 'Player of Games'? At first I thought that was 'The 5th Elephant' but that's on the shelf below, and didn't belong with the Banks anyway.
Clifton Royston
I had forgotten that Jeph is a big Iain Banks fan (and Iain M. Banks fan)! All indicative of good taste.
Ursus Ridens
Oyyyy.
Mikey Bear
Thank goodness I'm not the only one who sings that in their head every time they hear the word "crossfire"
Captain Button
You're going to have to answer to the Coca-Cola Company.
Mikey Bear
AAAAAAHHHHHHHHH the picture of Baby Goth Dora in panel 4! 😍
Mitsuki Ayane
por que no los dos? ~<3
Michael Westbom
Oh you are in for a TREAT. I basically had to read the second two of the trilogy over a weekend after finishing the first
George Bias
Cleo enjoying that afterglow
Stu Reeh
Nice selection of Iain M Banks on the bookshelf :)
Stephen Wells
With Beeps you honestly can't tell whether she's making a pass or just idly discussing weird sex ideas at random :) I do very much like that she's the officiant, it adds an extra touch of chaos energy to the whole proceeding.
Stephen Wells
Viking. Fire and water shall cleanse.
Nicolas Demers
This calls for the guillbrotine!
Carl G Knoblock
They.
Fred Baker
Aber bekleckert nicht die Jacke Jacke.
Sean Foley
The Fifth Elephant. It’s in the last panel, next to H2G2, which is fan shorthand for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. It’s on the shelf next to the DSLR Bible.
Sean Morgan
I'm having trouble reading when I zoom in. Which Pratchett's are on there?
Shawn K. Younkin
Enjoy!
Ursus Ridens
Thank you. Never heard of it. First volume now on hold for me at local library.
Ursus Ridens
Yes, but I just hate going into those bat caves to get the...uh, never mind
Ursus Ridens
...the bewildered but curious, too, look on Emmett... (He be wildered.)
Ursus Ridens
Thank you, Jeph, for not drawing in the details on Sven's jacket. But, um, what kind of funeral is to be held?
Joe
not a blush. a glow.
Jono Hayward

Jono Hayward
I thought of that but the jacket seems to be the same colour as in previous strips 😆
Tim Starliper
Or possibly it is visible...and is the entire jacket. In which case, ewwww
Jim Feldman
this is one of the few fantasy ships i'd like to see set sail (for some reason). Sven is trying to reset his life and I think Beeps might be a good one to fill that need.
Jim Feldman
My opine is this is felonious (old straight guy). He should have just burned it and said it was spontaneous combustion. Red wine or Alfredo is a Brosdemeanor.
Philip Masters
It's a stain. What's to see? And no depicted stain can match the images that are evoked by Sven's expression.
Philip Masters
I'm trying to make out the other titles there. There's a few Ian M Banks and Ian Banks (Consider Phlebas, The Wasp Factory), two volumes of "The Photographers" which I assume is just photo albums (or maybe photo art books), "The DSLR Bible" (okay, somebody is serious about photography), and "So Your Teen is a Goth", which combined with the picture on the wall suggests that a certain someone from this house was a bit like hard work back in their teen years...
Philip Masters
On the back. Or possibly on the lower hem.
Hugh Eckert
I don't think he was threatening Steve. He wants last rites for the jacket. Can't blame him.
Hugh Eckert
P.O.E.
Hugh Eckert
Ayyyy!
Hugh Eckert
Probably just off camera.
Afunnythinghappedtome
Just tell everyone the jacket is a cummerbund
Jono Hayward
Is there supposed to be a visible jizz stain on the jacket, or is it just implied? It looks fine to me 😂
BookBeard
"5 stars, would illicitly hook up again."
Sean Foley
Digging the Douglas Adams and Terry Pratchett titles on the book shelf.
happy
There's a book that says "So your teen is a goth." Love the background details 😄
Carrie
When in doubt, thermite! It's cheap and easy to make.
Stephen Wells
Cleo on her way to give Anh her review and recommendation. Steve should probably hydrate, maybe do a few stretches.
Andrew
Cleo be like: that was some really great music!
Boots McGoot
those books!!! i know what I'D be doing at this event and it would NOT get me laid.
Sarah Peper 🏳️⚧️
next to h2g2 no less
Bailey Doolittle
I love the book that just says "SMUT" on the cover
legobil
So, he broverstepped a broundary?
legobil
Hahaha, I love the details! The haphazard tie knot on Steve, the slight blush on Cleo 🥰
Grace Kieser
Definitely just a Brosdemeanor! It's still gross if you both aren't cool with sharing fluids! #youcanhavesomehomo #asatreat
BookBeard
Same, I zoomed in on the bookshelf before I even read the dialogue.
Jason Miller
Sven can surely get a Country and Western title out of what happened to his jacket. "My friend's done the dirty on me . . ."
BookBeard
Sure, unless of course they have a particularly interesting job. Like, say for example, product testing at a sex toy factory.
Vince Smith
What makes you think there is a part of the jacket that isn't stain?
BookBeard
How serious of a violation? Was it a capital broffense or just a minor broversight?
BookBeard
True, enzyme cleaners are tremendously useful. But on the other hand, fire is nice and warm. So each method has its pros and cons.
Bagge
OMG! Grumpy teen Dora!
Sharpless
I would assume that the stain is on the back, so not visible to us. Possibly we get to see on Sunday
Maxwell Black
is there supposed to be a visible stain on the jacket? because I'm not seeing anything
AlexKorobeiniki
Steve... bruh.
Rebecca D
Goes with the handy parent guide "So Your Teen Is a Goth" on the bookshelf!
Mitsuki Ayane
Beeps still swinging for Sven? you love to see it. ~<3
Carrie
🤣😂 it's all about the enzymes. Specific ones that are situation dependent. But, 100% effective.
Captain Button
But what about Brayden and Jayden?
Captain Button
Unless Tortura scares her off...
Captain Button
He tossed all his work into the public domain recently. Or at least that stuff that wasn't contracted to some publisher somehow.
BookBeard
You know you might actually be onto something there. She was working on getting her memoirs published way back in the triple digits, which is at least a couple years in QC time. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=460
BookBeard
Just this morning I got "Selling Out" stuck in my head but couldn't quite remember all of it, looked it up on Spotify and ended up listening to the complete works of Tom Lehrer for like 3 hours. I regret nothing.
Todd Ellner
Squid ink just doesn't work
Todd Ellner
Only for a quartet

Don’t get caught up in the… CROSS FIRE!
BookBeard
The second best way, after fire.
BookBeard
Good old Brad Chad and Thad, it's been a while since we've seen them. I wonder how they're doing.
Yelling Bird
Most of my clothing has at least some jizz on it. Granted, it's mostly MY jizz though.
Shawn K. Younkin
The Southern Reach trilogy? Exceptional reading tastes!
Grace Kieser
Steve, you dry clean it yourself BEFORE returning it! Total bro code violation!
Sean Kinlin
This is what happens when you're not careful with your precious bodily fluids.
Sean Kinlin
The nice man cumeth.
Sean Kinlin
Lots of people have commented on it.
Allan Widner
That picture of Dora the Destroyer is adorable, nice touch.
BookBeard
Give it time, she'll be back for more. You know what they say, "Once you go Steve, you won't want to leave."
Populuxe
Cleo does seem rather pleased with how things turned out.
BookBeard
That is in fact "The Fifth Elephant", one of the Discworld novels by Terry Pratchett.
Populuxe
And considering Steve’s career path, Sven’s threat is more performative than frightening.
SilverbackRon
Hahaha, that is a nice detail.
Opus the Poet
Cleo is a squirter.
Doc Gumby
Also a pretty great jam by Stevie Ray Vaughn.
Diptych
Steve, did you make big cums on Sven's jacket?!
Adam with two As, a D, and an M
If it's uncut And un subt– Le
Chauncey
Apparently a novelization of “The Fifth Element” exists in the QCverse. Honestly, I could imagine the movie with an all AI cast. Save for Dallas, who would be played by our lady pleaser, Steve.
Rob A
Are we not talking about young, sulky Dora's portrait? Because it's amazing.
William Cole
Also, Priapic Echidna would be an excellent band name.
Melissa Wilson
Photo credit: Peter Bianchi for every image in “Smut”
William Cole
I hope Richard was not also caught in the crossfire.
Travis Young
I dont' think "girlfriend" would apply here, but they certainly upheld tradition.
SpazzyC
Another satisfied customer
Travis Young
No, but they can gift Jim "So Your Teenager Is A Goth"
Travis Young
It appears to not be antigrav, but spun grav, so it getting turned off would be REAL BAD TM
BookBeard
Sure, he could have it cleaned. But he would still know...
Benjamin Geiger
How bad could it be? I mean, unless Steve can rival Peter North for volume (or he and Cleo are, like, coprophiles or something), would a dry cleaner have any difficulty getting biological fluids out of fabric? Or is it more of a "this jacket will forever be unclean" thing?
ValdVin
I enjoy the details of Steve's and Cleo's hair. Post "illicit hookup" indeed.
BookBeard
They have two other pictures of a (possibly even younger) Dora looking similarly grumpy, so apparently that facial expression was around for at least a few years. But hey, if you're gonna goth properly you gotta commit to it. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1040 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5408
Benjamin Geiger
My first interpretation was that Sven was going to be killed for some reason.
Captain Button
And the Hitchhikers Guide...
Pejo
I thought he was threatening to kill Steve for that 😅
Pejo
Thought that was DSLA & Google wasn't helpful.
Rich Holmes
Don't you hate it when you meet someone at a party and all they can talk about is their job?
Captain Button
A dirty novel I can't shut...
Aerin Moriarty
Can confirm: was not a phase
Doc Gumby
The smut is actually a photo essay of corn fungus.
SilverbackRon
That is the name of her autobiography. Calling it now. 🤣
Opus the Poet
@Doc Gumby, toldja.
SilverbackRon
"Caught in the crossfire" is such a nice euphemism.
BookBeard
Hey Sven, remember when you were being a dipshit about Faye and Steve was the first one to set you straight? Just toss the jacket and call it even, you owe him one. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2753 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2756
Miyaa
Next Week: Tilly tries to eat cereal while the gravity maker is turned off.
Randall Norman Pick
Dora's portrait is great
Drazi
The smut does not consist mostly of Veronica. No, you can't check.
Drazi
Dang it. Emmett is too young for me to be crushing on 😭
JMK
I love young Dora and her “It’s not a phase, mom!” look on her face.
Aditya Rameshan
Sven needs to give that jacket a Viking funeral, that thing probably saved Richard's life 🤣🤣🤣
BookBeard
Don't forget the Terry Pratchett.
William Burns
The jacket's funeral. Dulce et decorum.
Benjamin Geiger
... whose funeral? What am I missing?
James Anthony
I thought it said Tech, and was like "yeah, that makes sense" 😂
Opus the Poet
The DSLR Bible has a different color spine in our universe. I think it's aqua.
Melvin Miller
Laughing over the books in the background
Devin Gates
Oh there it is! He's in front of it the first two panels the shelf is in.
ordith
Hi Beeps
Cathal Mc Ginley
Now that you pointed out the books I see a whole shelf of Iain Banks and Iain M Banks
Opus the Poet
Came here to make that exact same comment. Cleo looks radiant.
Arlo C-J
I immediately looked for the Banks on the bookshelf and was happy to see them
Bill Silvia
Right next to "SMUT"
Pat Allan
Nice to see some Discworld in the bookshelf ❤️🐘
Michael Boettger
And a picture of a young Dora on the wall
Blake Manor
Attaboy, Steve
pseudoclever
That made my day ahhh!!!
Carrie
FYI, certain biological things are the best way for cleaning fabrics when other biological things are involved.
Doc Gumby
That looks just like Sam, no wonder!
Ashbury Haight
"So Your Teen is a Goth" lmao
Aerin Moriarty
OH MY GOD BABY DORA???
Doc Gumby
I love the pink volume in the bookcase just titled, 'Smut'.
ValdVin
GothEmmett will repeat that joke in school, won't they?
Jim Sharkey
Bruh, never wearing that jacket again either.
Terry Parry
"Smut"
Andrea Andrew
Steve got another girlfriend!! Good for him.
ValdVin
Bros! Bros! Bros! (appear out of nowhere).
Doc Gumby
Cleo certainly looks all rosy and satisfied. Good Job Steve!
