Post "Womanizing" by "jephjacques"

Jess Norman

Your wife and past me are the same! I discovered QC in 2005 and it was the first comic I actually enjoyed reading without dyslexia making me angry. I spent a couple of days reading everything from the beginning (a much easier feat than your wife has now 19 years later!) and I never looked back. So happy to still be here and to know that QC continues to find new fans. <3

David Durant

Thanks very much!

Clifton Royston

To me it's so sad, because for a moment, while Iris is hoping Willow will say she has feelings for her, you see her face relax and look vulnerable and open - and then she just clamps down again to the usual rigid stare and starts belittling herself.

Clifton Royston

@Minzoku My daughter and husband did the same, courthouse marriage in Chicago, but she called me on the phone first to make sure I wouldn't be offended to not be there. It was sweet of her, but I told her no problem.

Clifton Royston

I have to share this because I'm so tickled about it: My wife has always said she just can't read comics - something about her dyslexia made it hard for her to put together the pictures and words concurrently. Nonetheless I got her hooked on QC back at the beginning of the Cubetown events, especially with Liz's storyline, and she's been following along since, but insisted she had no interest in knowing any of the backstory. A couple nights ago I looked over at her computer, and she was starting to read QC from strip #1, because she wanted to know the whole story. One of us, one of us!

Clifton Royston

24 years here! And we now have a grandchild, by way of the daughter from my previous marriage.

Clifton Royston

I just saw that one while following people's links from the previous strip: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4762

David Durant

Hey BookBeard. On the off chance you see this. I'd like to show a friend the strip where Willow is explaining to Iris about people thinking she's flirting. What's the strip number please? Thanks.

Graydon Armstrong

Damn, Bubs looked good before getting all dolled up. That shirt and hair are so pretty casual on her.

Carl G Knoblock

Of course he could have done a lot of things differently, but I think he cut off the dresses on purpose. I think most of us enjoyed that choice.

enchantedsleeper

Oh, I like the new style on Faye. Good choice IMO

enchantedsleeper

So it's just Dora who's naked in Panel 2 then 😂 (I do think Jeph could have included the top of her dress...)

Ross

Panel 2 is doomed to be rule34ed...

Ross

Our 30th is this October!

Carl G Knoblock

I noticed that Fay's dress got spaghetti straps, and she also got a necklace in the final non Patreon release. Dora's ring is still missing.

SilverbackRon

Interestingly now that the comic has posted, Faye has spaghetti straps and a very pretty necklace. Dora is still missing her wedding ring that disappears from panel one to panel three.

SilverbackRon

🤣🤣🤣 You are kinda right! 🤣🤣🤣

Ursus Ridens

...aaannd, the comic was posted tonight, showing spaghetti straps (not present above) on Faye's dress. Some may find this a bit of a let-down, but I stand by my former exclamation.

Zapski

We married in my in-laws house, officiated by her brother

Zapski

I really want to live in the QC universe

Todd Ellner

Those of us in the Childhood Abuse Club know all the signs

William Cole

I bet he'd pay a large amount of (damp) Canadian Tire money to get into that collection though!

William Cole

Who was doing the measuring?

Not that Patrick Foltz

..and by that I mean I spend months in the shadows setting up 'chance' meetings, and concocting overly convoluted schemes to get them to fall in love and want to marry.

Not that Patrick Foltz

Welcome to the community!

My spouse and I are in our 23rd year!

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

Good lord. I’m glad it sounds like you declined.

Lucas Werkmeister

maybe you can take part in a LARP where your character gets married?

Lucas Werkmeister

owo is me!

BookBeard

According to Clinton there was a constitutional amendment granting AI the same rights as humans. This would presumably encompass the right to marry. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1900

Todd Ellner

Miyaa, it would be completely on point for this comic

Todd Ellner

Yeah, it was probably especially a Thing for me since the first time I encountered it half of the couple was trying to hit on underage me with the aid of drugs and his reputation as a Famous Poet

Todd Ellner

Nonsense! A Three-l lllama is a really big fire

RobertC

Gonna be honest.. it's gonna take Bubbles dragging her to a "make your own ring" class for that to happen.

BookBeard

Very true, but in this case Emmett is most definitely crushing on Sam. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4694

Benjamin Geiger

I'm mildly curious whether the Wedding portion of the Ceremony spell might've been a nod to the Sacred Band of Thebes.

Benjamin Geiger

According to everybody's favorite source of knowledge, Wikipedia: "In some languages (Spanish, Welsh, Indonesian, etc.), the postpositive placement of adjectives is the normal syntax, but in English it is largely confined to archaic and poetic uses (e.g. "Once upon a midnight dreary", as opposed to "Once upon a dreary midnight") as well as phrases borrowed from Romance languages or Latin (e.g. heir apparent, aqua regia) and certain fixed grammatical constructions (e.g. "Those anxious to leave soon exited").[1]" and "There are many set phrases in English which feature postpositive adjectives. They are often loans or loan translations from foreign languages that commonly use postpositives, especially French (many legal terms come from Law French)." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Postpositive_adjective

Vinny

Pintsize begs to differ lol. He's a great organizer!... inside his twisted unfiltered mind.

Elf Sternberg

"Please don't make my costume green. Or animated."

Miyaa

No, Pintsize shouldn’t be organizing anything. He shouldn’t even be organizing Beep’s dildo collection.

Miyaa

Thank goodness you’re not a registered llama. Though that would explain the angry spitting.

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

I understand what you are saying, but one of the things I’ve learned over time, is that I have no idea about what goes on in other’s relationships, so I like to avoid assuming. And the second things I’d like to point out is while “identifying as” wasn’t a thing, I’d like to challenge you to think that maybe it was already a thing for other folks, and it only entered into being WIDELy recognized as the recent phenomenon. Maybe they were the folks who helped make it a thing.

Todd Ellner

I was at a nude wedding recently and came within an inch of being the Best Man

Todd Ellner

Dramatically. Take a look at the first couple hundred comics

Todd Ellner

Not all close friends have to be romantic partners.

Todd Ellner

One thing that really pissed me off in the 80s was having more than one gay male couple introduce themselves as "husband" and "wife". None of them identified as female or was biologically female, and "identifying as" wasn't a thing the way it is today. They still couldn't slip the idea that a marriage had to be one man and one woman. Kind of like "We're both chopsticks, but one of us has to be the spoon, and the other has to be the fork." Glad that got sorted out.

Leak

So you got fan art for your marriage? :D

Todd Ellner

Married thirty years this February. Even when we don't like each other we absolutely love each other. And she is the Sun, Moon, and all the Stars in Heaven.

Leak

Oh, you and your bookmarks... *shakes head* :P

Todd Ellner

*mumble* years ago our best as in "we are their kids' guardians and they are our listed next of kin" friends called us. M said "Todd, we want you to marry us." I said "You'll have to clear it with T and she doesn't share." M called me a dick and explained they were tying the knot. I became a registered Lama of the Church of Spiritual Humanism. We whipped up a ceremony and performed it. All legal and all halal complete with ijab, qubool, and mehr. T helped the bride get ready with the understanding she would tackle her if the prewedding jitters took over.

Todd Ellner

Double sided tape works. Spirit gum is even better. There are no secrets from the Stage Crew

Todd Ellner

She's a Southern girl. Dressing like that is trained into them early

The more teh marrier, eh?

Now we need Jeph to draw them in a hot tub, wearing necklaces...

Fwip-fwee-kerplunk...

Now I'm waiting for Pintsize to catch it somehow...

Leak

A bout of ye olde automaton hysteria? D:

And only eating deserts.

legobil

Bubbles has made her into the squishiest softie. 😍 Must be all this talk about their feelings. 🥰

John F. Woodruff

See the story of Unity in Skin Horse’s webcomic becoming a Notary. It’s epic!

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

On a personal note, my partner and I used to refer to each other as husband, to be in your face about our relationship, to help normalize the idea. But boy oh boy, the day we actually got married in SF city hall, 13 years after our church wedding 1995, when it finally became a civil right, saying “my husband” just took it up to a whole new level. I guess that it feels like that for anyone getting married, but after using the term for all that time, and for it to actually be recognized as legal… mind blowing.

BookBeard

Nope, looks the same to me. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1

BookBeard

I imagine they are hiding under the buffet table, giggling and planning to unleash chaos. Also snakes. Snakes and chaos.

Nah, Beeps is afraid of lawyers. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4715

Vinny

I would love to see those 4 on a double date, organized by Pintsize. Congrats Tai and Dora!!

Randall Norman Pick

Beep's not a notary?

Matt Pedone

Partner and I just celebrated our 10th year of marriage, and I have to say, I STILL marvel at how good it feels to be married to her. I refer to my wedding band as my "power ring".

Casey

Long time follower, haven't been a patron as long as I would have liked. This one made me SO HAPPY. They're so good together

D.J. Trindle

O NOES Dora's ring fell off in panel 2!!

Stephen Wells

Wedding werewolf mode :)

Stephen Wells

Give 'em time, I think Faye and Bubbles are in this for the long haul :)

Holly Nelson

Yeah! She hasn’t punched anyone in quite a while.

Maran Little

Oxytoxin's a helluva drug

enchantedsleeper

I was surprised, but it does work!

Richard

She borrowed a little boob myomer from the shop.

legobil

Equally important as the rear side.

legobil

Panel 2 Faye is such a classic Faye.

David Paul

And thirded, please!

David Paul

They get taken to some abandoned warehouse which has been quite tastefully decorated, and no less than a 3-tier cake (made at knifepoint, but also paid in full ("we're kidnappers, not criminals!")).

Eric Pike

I was severely confused and excited when I first saw the spread, because everyone looks topless in the bottom frames at first glance 🤣🤣🤣

Charlie Rose

Omg bubbles looks amazing <3

Stephen Wells

They would never do that unless Tai and Bubbles asked nicely if they could watch :)

David Durant

Meanwhie, cut to Sam and Emmett definitely not being on a date at the wedding... 😁

Ravenswing

Considerably, over the years. No doubt the process is ongoing.

legobil

Right? Right?!

legobil

Oh no! She has already lost it! Quick, to the coffee shop and start searching! 😜

Stephen Wells

And Faye's epic balcony :)

Stephen Wells

It's in the genre of slightly archaic terms where the adjective comes second. Notaries public, sergeants major, attorneys general.

Bagge

ILLICIT WEDDING HOOKUPS!

Larry

Good point. (Hi, Elf!)

fx_in_mind

Jeph you missed Dora's ring on the last panel!

Jim Feldman

Is it me or has Jeph slightly altered how he draws his characters?

Thomas Ruecker

Maybe they have space technology bras that defy gravity

Fart Captor

YEEEEESSSS! HA HA HA! YEEESS

jonesnori

U.S. notaries are not attorneys, but minor officials authorized to take oaths and certify signatures. I used to have a notary public license. I believe the word notary means an attorney in some places/ languages. I don't know if that's the disconnect here, or not.

Carrie

😂🤣😂🤣

Bagge

Bubbles being melodramatic is pretty much the best thing ever

jonesnori

I've heard you can rent bridal gowns, and state parks make cheap venues. You may have to pay a small permit fed.

Carrie

Have you heard of this guy? https://youtu.be/Vqbk9cDX0l0?si=LZe-KMR_VN84qXzv

Carrie

🤘🤣🤘🖤

Betazoid wedding.

Double sided tape is wonderful. If it's a single use then you can crazy glue it and use acetone to take it off with zero glue hassles.

Alex Mullenix

Engayged*

Minzoku Bokumetsu

we were interested but always put off by the idea of planning a wedding finally pulled the trigger when at least MY parents said the huge wedding is a waste of money, so we courthoused it

Minzoku Bokumetsu

lots of make-up and/or fake skin, idk

Mitsuki Ayane

welp, good job Faye, now it is 100% GOING to happen. Bubbles is going to hit you up one night soon, maybe even tonight about the idea and next thing you know, the two of you are engaged. ~<3

Zapski

Or understandable caution. My spouse and I dated for a decade before we decided on marriage

Zapski

I’m available for officiating!

Zapski

My ex, a non native speaker of English, (and culturally new to sarcasm) learned sarcasm. Honestly, she did it very well and I give her full respect for her mastery of the language. That’s not why we separated, but it was well appreciated

ValdVin

Bubbles said she should "put on makeup" &c for the video call with Faye and Mrs. Whitaker. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4281 starting.

Green

I didn't even think of it until I saw the other comments too about how naked they look and now it's all I can see too

Thomas Baxter

Or one could be commissioned the officer of "Fuck" That is assuming that a Commissioner can give commissions of office, the title (and term) being _awfully_ broad.

Green

Flashbacks to the blue lipstick that first fateful party. Who knew it would get us here

Sean Kinlin

I'm surprised she's comfortable in a strapless dress. Maybe it has some boning in it? (insert joke about Bubbles providing the boning later)

Sean Kinlin

@Drazi: Now all I can think of is Maxwell Smart saying "Plastic lips!"

Gabriel Burns

Patreon only shows the middle panel until you expand it, and I was like why are Faye and Dora naked?

Ursus Ridens

And, folks, let's hear a unanimous "Hubba hubba!" for Faye's dress. I mean, dang, girl.

allanfranta

I'm thinking there is most likely a venue in Vegas that would do it for you. You may have to provide your own non-spouse, but them's the breaks.

Daniel S

Faye’s being smart (a rare sentence). Never make that decision at a wedding, your brain is different there

Daniel S

The face meeeeeats

Thomas Halpin

*Cracks Knuckles* Dearly Beloved, bless this union, don't make me have to raise my voice.

djellafine

Case in point - in panel 2 Dora and Faye wouldn't look as if they were sitting in a hot tub if they had some kind of necklaces on

djellafine

I find it sort of odd that no one is wearing jewelry to complement the strapless tops. It does help with the semi-nudity vibe of all that skin imo

Adam with two As, a D, and an M

Is Faye's scar missing? I feel like that dress would reveal it.

Drazi

How lewd!

Drazi

I, on the other hand, have videotaped enough weddings that I will be very happy is I never see another one.

Adam with two As, a D, and an M

Bubs has learned sarcasm!

DonnieRamesJio

That or Faye gave her facial myomer an good airbrushing before the wedding

William Cole

I am imagining you stepping out from the shadows and stealth-marrying gay couples. "No one is safe from…the Marriage Ninja — Wednesdays on ABC!"

Drazi

I'm probably loosing it, but I think Bubble's lips are fancier then usual. Did she break out the good ones for the occasion?

Charles Hirst

On the brass plates of notaries in the UK it can say "Commissioner of Oaths". So if you need a new swearword you could always commission one.

Drazi

Isn't that really why most of us got registered? At least, on that list ..

William Cole

Bring me a fainting couch and a tumbler of gin!

Katrina Urmson

*giggles*

Yonatan Zunger

Now I'm wondering about the laws on human/AI marriage.

Opus the Poet

Poor Bubbles, thwarted by her love interest's lack of interest.

Green

I was just at a wedding a few months ago and like half the dresses were strapless, I figured it was just The Fashion

Opus the Poet

@Ashbury Haight, how do you feel about acting in a play?

Munchkin Threats

Faye is starting to give Bubbles a sense of sarcasm. XD

ValdVin

Patient: I was told if I imitate Borat one more time I'm going to be living alone. Therapist: Who said that? (Patient bites hole through lip.)

Todd Ellner

Strap-on wedding gowns are only for the ... Sophisticated

Opus the Poet

Seconded!

Todd Ellner

Second only to the Brand Inspector

Green

I like that Bubbles went with a dress that is her version of a "naked dress." Looks fantastic

Todd Ellner

Why not marry them and marry them?

Armcannon Productions

Everyone is so darn cute.

Yelling Bird

I am also a registered minister. I became one for the sole purposes of marrying gay people. Not ME marrying gay people but marrying them to each other. I mean, the ones that want to be married to each other. I'm not like tracking down random gay people and marrying them to each other by force.

Thomas Baxter

The powers of a public notary are limitless. Do not underestimate the power of public notar-iety

SpookyPenguin

Lol you hack I hope you're doing these with an appropriate ukulele backing

Melissa Wilson

Yesssssss

Melissa Wilson

Indeed! Fan service of the highest caliber right here. Thank you, sir; I’ll have another!

Captain Button

Surely with her her height and reflexes she can grab the bride's bouquet(s).

Richard

Is strapless dresses a wedding theme? Dora, the bridesmaids, Hannelore, Faye. Or is it just trendy in-universe?

Grace Kieser

I'm sure she has some chromed parts!

Shawn K. Younkin

Mahhhh wife! She is... MAH WIFE!

Shawn K. Younkin

You know you have to show that cute pic now... Please!

BookBeard

When she meets the new wives And then threatens their lives That's Annoyed Faye! wait... wrong character...

Davin Coulston

The little ringsss...yessss.

Benjamin Geiger

Would it be offensive to tell an AI she'll ride eternal, shiny and chrome?

Elf Sternberg

She lives with Pintsize and Faye. She has excellent role models in that department.

Benjamin Geiger

Y'know, I'm in a similar situation. I don't know if I qualify as aromantic (I'm either aromantic or polyamorous or both, it's a _long_ story) but I do know that I'm an absolute sucker for ceremony and ritual, and a wedding is the biggest, most elaborate ceremony most people will ever participate in, let alone be in charge of. I would give vital parts of my anatomy to experience that, but I don't think I'd ever be in a position to commit to one person to that extent.

Brittany Huckey

AWWWWWW Bubbles has learned and grown so much, since we met her. The cutest. Well, after the married couple reveling in dropping the WIFE TITLE

Katie Spina

Bubbles & Faye are precious!

Ashbury Haight

I don't drink and I live in Appalachia, so hopefully I'm safe from those 🤞 you never know though

Bill Silvia

This thought process often leads to drunken non-fake weddings in Vegas.

Peter McDevitt

please no "Borat" jokes...

Sean Kinlin

If Bubbles goes to a notary, she'll need someone to witness her.

Captain Button

In the US I always hear it as "notary public." Don't know about elsewhere. ObOtherComic: "Lance Parkertip, Noted Notary Public!" by the immoral, err, immortal Don Martin.

SilverbackRon

Tai and Dora in panel three is just the best!

Adam Abbott

I'm not mad at it. XD

Larry

I didn't take Bubs to be the dramatic type. So cute!

Ashbury Haight

Yeah, I'm mostly kidding. I do not have the money for a whole fake wedding ceremony lol

Violet Moon

I like how panel 2 makes it look like Faye and Dora are naked

Diane

The world is full of possibility, there's gotta be a way!

Sean Kinlin

Tai in panel 2 having a Dora-gasm.

Mr. Ifrit

It can be but here in the US, I've always seen it as notary public.

Jaron Mortimer

You can do what you want as long as you pay for it. No one is stopping you.

Danielle Church

I mean when my wife and I got married, we just said "Wife! Wife!" to each other a lot, until our friend drew an adorable photo of us as cute yappy dogs going "Wife!" instead of "Woof!"

Ashbury Haight

This is making me want to get married even though I'm aromantic and have never wanted a spouse. Do they do wedding ceremonies without the actual marriage? Could I wear a bridal gown and kiss someone but never do any actual vows?
