I like a neko wafer once in a while...

Jeph said they were non-alcoholic bitters so it shouldn't matter.
Mikey Bear
I know people who used a soda/bitters as their "get sober" drink (It was me, I did that.) and while bitters is high-proof liquor, the amount used is so negligible compared to a shot of it (1-to-2 ounces depending on how much the bartender likes/loaths you, or if they are in a place where they are required to measure their shots for each cocktail [If the bartender has to jigger the pour, chances are they hate everyone]) that you would have to drink several in an hour to even catch a buzz, which is possible, but not probable.
Da Nargh!!
Emmett sent a bunch of bitters into that drink effectively making it alcoholic...
Clifton Royston
Is it bad that I want to see Sam as a goth catgirl? I think she’d make a great catgirl. Probably I shouldn’t think about such things.
enchantedsleeper
What does that have to do with Jim and Veronica, though...?
Bill Silvia
Being Claire's boss (and Faye's former) might somehow fit into the equation? ETA: And the other bride is Claire's former and Marten's current!
enchantedsleeper
Yes 🤣 I was just re-reading those strips yesterday. I hope Jeph doesn't pass up this opportunity for some FANTASTICALLY awkward conversations.
Green
Dont forget that Dora And her dad have both, uh, appreciated some of Veronica's work over the years lol!
enchantedsleeper
You know, I was thinking that it's kind of weird Jim and Veronica (and Sam, and Emmett) are at the wedding. The wedding venue was nearly at their house, so I guess that's why, but Veronica's connection to Dora is - idk, former in-law, kinda? And Dora DATED Jim xD Only once, but it's funny that we all talk about Tai's history when Dora is the one with two different exes at her wedding xD
joe velsher
Also bitters are often such a small component of your typical drink that I doubt it would register much ABV in the final product. People give drinks with bitters and soda to children in some parts of the world.
legobil
It absolutely is. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4892

Veronica is certainly very attractive. But if I was going to lose my head over an age-appropriate woman in cartoons, Aurelia would be my jam. Unfortunately, she's into younger men...
Bill Silvia
The question is how much of a fan of Veronica Aurelia is.
Lucas Werkmeister
it's definitely come up before that Melon's memory is awful: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3917 (not the only strip but I can't be bothered to look up more right now)
Zak Reichle
Jeph actually clarified they were non-alcoholic bitters on the site
David Durant
It's a really good point. We don't know if AIs have eidetic memory. Frankly it's amazing that's never come up before.
JozanBrinter .
Most bitters have alcohol in them, so I hope that isnt an issue for faye
lazymagpie
I love how Veronica knows Claire well enough to recognise her habitual puns on Marten. Also, big fan of Veronica's new look
el_zilcho
Plot twist: Veronica is a big fan of Aurelia but doesn’t play, watch, or know what a video game is. She’s just into the sexy cow lady

That's pretty much how I feel about bourbon.
Halloween Jack
Becomes very good at wall climbing: necro-nepo-neko-gecko baby
Miyaa
Yeah but I assume Bubbles has visual memories so it would be simple to just replay the video. But considering Emmitt’s chaos field, I can totally see the wrong video playing… scarring Bubbles & Faye for life.
Doc Gumby
Only held in there by a handkerchief knotted at the corners, it's so sad...
Stephen Wells
I hope she meets Aurelia, realises she's MommyMilkers, and completely fangirls out about it :)
Stephen Wells
A George's Marvellous Medicine situation but with much lower stakes :)
melloncollic
I was thinking the same thing!
Mark
This will require Emmett to remember exactly what they put in it!
Captain Button
Doc: So you have a piece of brain lodged in your head?
Doc Gumby
Aerin; no, as in the Monty Python sketch.
Stephen Wells
So incredibly NSFW
Pejo
TIL Jeph edits the comics between Patreon & the QC web site sometimes
enchantedsleeper
Nah, it's just that Emmett's correction of Claire's name for them happened to come on the heels of that story. We know that Emmett has had similar stuff happen and shrugged it off. (Heck, they even gave themself a tattoo - arguably one of the most angry/rebellious things you could do - and seemed entirely nonchalant about it)
enchantedsleeper
We got the shoulder straps a few strips back, we just haven't seen Faye since then xD
enchantedsleeper
True, I think Marten would appreciate some Claire-ity!
Mitsuki Ayane
lol Claire doesn't even have to be on screen to get credit for the terrible puns. ~<3
enchantedsleeper
And also, in general xD
enchantedsleeper
Ooooh, DommyMilkers is SUCH a good ship name.

Sam could do much worse for a role model
legobil
I will, Clairvoyantly state, there are more puns coming.
Dean Reilly
I think it's time to Claire away this entire conversation.
djellafine
Yes, it's much better! The lack of neck jewelry on all the people wearing strapless/sleeveless dresses was making me bonkers
Rodrigo Ourcilleon
Damn Marten’s mom is so hot. ❤️🥵
Daryl Sawyer
Sean YES
Onyx
That last panel is everything.
William Cole
But those are all adventures I want to see!
Edward Clayton Andrew
The pun in the alt text hurt me
Miyaa
Sean NO
Not that Patrick Foltz
@Andrea Andrew My reaction to panel 1 of https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5409 was that Emmett became Dark Emmett because of the bulldozer incident
BookBeard
Oh he's fine. He's just been going around bursting into random peoples houses, demanding explanations of increasingly obscure science fiction subgenres. "Explain Cyberpunk!" "Explain Space Western!" "Explain Afrofuturism!" "Explain Post-singularity Dystopian Transhumanism!" https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2198
BookBeard
It's the chanting that does it. Evil is delicious.
William Cole
As long as we are getting a tour of parents, I wanna know what Marigold's dad is up to these days.
William Cole
Keep in mind that Faye used to drink REALLY bad bourbon.
William Cole

William Cole
Welcome back!
Bill Silvia
Shall Marten continue to tell these puns that Claire so adores?/Quoth Veronica, "Nevermore"
Bill Silvia
Emmett was mixing the drink, but they definitely gave an "in it for Sam's sake" vibe during their first wedding scene.
Bill Silvia
Now only Dora looks topless in that panel!
Matthew Delahaye
Ok, I have to know what those bitters are, because flat soda water, hot sauce, green olives and maraschino cherries is not a great start
BookBeard
It's only sudden for us on patreon, he actually added the straps and necklace in #5405 but only in the version on the website. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5405

I like the sudden addition of straps and a necklace for Faye, and I mean that sincerely. I think it elevates the look, makes it feel more formal and complete, plus it combats the naked vibe I kept gettin whenever I see a strapless gal cut off at the shoulders. Also it's really hot, just gotta say it.

I know, I had to take great Claire not to over do my pun.

You Claire-ly had to stretch it a bit to make that pun work.

Robert Wrigley
... You made her goth JUST so you could make that joke, didn't you?
David Paul
"Let the puns flow through you!"
Sean Kinlin
"I mean, I guess Veronica is OK..."
Green
Yeah she was Claire-ly supportive of their relationship at the start. Maybe she could Claire-ify exactly what about the pun she dislikes?
Melissa Wilson
Gothsmopolitan!!! Yes! Yes! 1,000 times, yes!
Doc Gumby
Maybe Sin-and-Tonic?
Melissa Wilson
Kind of a pun-sided argument you make, but I’m sold.
Thisguy
Ye Gods! I just realised the 'Meet the Parents' scene between these two is inevitable.
Green
The Emmett-able Intoxicant (the pun could work with several words so in this case I want to specify the referenced word was "imitable" 😅)
BookBeard
It's too late, the sickness is in him now.
Adam with two As, a D, and an M
If she was also a lizard would she be a nepo-necro-neko-necco-gecko-baby?
BookBeard
Oh no, I can hear the inevitable DommyMilkers shippers thundering this way already... *flees*
BookBeard
They are certainly a follower when Sam is around, that's for sure. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4694
Alan Groves
I would love three months worth of strips of just Martin’s mom and Claire’s mom hanging out together! I think it’d be awesome.
BookBeard
Challenge to the comment section: Now that it has Faye's seal of approval this cocktail needs a name. I'm thinking either "Grim Fizz" or "Gothsmopolitan".
Opus the Poet
It seemed like Emmett was doing the leading earlier.
Captain Button
I wouldn't want her to get caught up in patriarchal body image BS about being "wafer thin."
Alacrity Fitzhugh
What! That was a good joke!
SpookyPenguin
yessss let the puns floww through youuuuuu feel the powerrr of the punn sideeee
Sorastro
Necro Neko....Holy Chan!
Aerin Moriarty
Are you Doc Gumby as in the doctor with EDS?!
Doc Gumby
To be honest I kinda pictured panel one just being Faye's face in a massive negative reaction to Emmet's concoction.
BookBeard
Veronica has no one to blame but herself. She was trying to set him up with Claire from the moment they met. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2379
Doc Gumby
I'd watch that!
Randall Norman Pick
If she was eating cookies and a catgirl would it be a nepo-necro-neko-necco-baby?
Aerin Moriarty
I'm constantly inventing hypothetical QC spinoffs in my head and a prequel of Marten's mother's early life is high up there in my mind.
Michael Boettger
Good to see Marten's mom
Elberik
1) oh thank god some shoulder straps 2) Raven Queen
Yelling Bird
I have returned!
Doc Gumby
As they say in Britain, that's how the punt ages...
Adarsh Nednur
And if she was also a wafer she would be a necro-nepo-neko-Necco baby
Doc Gumby
And to her aunt she would be a nice-neice-necro-nepo-neko-baby!
Mitch Megaw
And if she got into disappointing wafer candies, she would be a Necco-necro-nepo-neko-baby

Captain Button
Now I want wafers.
AJ Saint
Every time I catch up the ennui hits me. Have to wait a whole day for another one, or on weekends three days!
Shawn K. Younkin
LOL- I love Emmett but they are definitely a follower.
Andrea Andrew
It’s why half my comedy is puns and word play. Also some dirty jokes.
Miyaa
Marten, no. Don’t let Claire influence you with her puns or her Claireface.
Jim Sharkey
Sam 100% thinks her dad's girlfriend is the coolest. She'll just never admit that.
Joel Bateman
Oh god... Her puns are spreading. Its Un-Claire-able to read.
ValdVin
"Positive role model" is accurate, but she does need to lock some of her suitcases up from prying gothettes.
Tannerbot
Damnit Marten! I mean, well done, but damnit Marten!
Andrea Andrew
Good to see Faye’s old haircut. I thought Emmett was the one in charge of this goth transition.
Violet Moon
It's true, trans girls do love ourselves some puns
Shawn K. Younkin
And if she was a good child she would be a nice-necro-nepo-neko-baby!
Doc Gumby
Puns are indeed contagious.
