Post "Time Skip, A-Woo-oo" by "jephjacques"

Clifton Royston

Wow Bookbeard, I'd completely forgotten that whole section of the story

Watson

Pretty sure it's referencing Duck Tales, a-woo-oo!

enchantedsleeper

Damn, good sleuthing! Yeah, it's like an elongated Comic Sans xD

Carl G Knoblock

Found it. Samaritan Tall Lower. My first guess would have been Comic Sans, and it does look similar.

Doc Gumby

Well, I got the three panel part right :P

enchantedsleeper

I never questioned that it would be Tai and Dora, because any other wedding would mean we'd skipped over theirs. But the Save the Date was an odd choice. My guess is that either 1) Jeph wanted to mess with us juuuust for a bit or 2) "Save the Date" was the easiest way to invoke a wedding, since "You are cordially invited" can apply to lots of events. Though he could have put "to the wedding of" and then had the names indecipherable.

enchantedsleeper

Joke will be on us when Jeph does a single-page montage of the reception xD

enchantedsleeper

Not Save the Date. You expect a fancy font on wedding stationery. I've just never seen the Some Time Later font used before.

Pejo

Oh, Willow in werewolf mode definitely "rings a bell"

Carl G Knoblock

Which one, the "Save the Date" or "Some time later..."?

Ursus Ridens

I'd see a better future for Willow and Winslow, but it might just be too sweet to happen.

Doc Gumby

I'm guessing a three panel with no words, just establishing shot, close up, crowd reaction.

Ursus Ridens

Some of Yay and some extrudates of the Director?

ValdVin

@enchantedsleeper That's what I noticed too.

Chelsea

you know what I just realized? It's a "Save the Date," not even a wedding invite. That kind of makes me think it's not Tai and Dora's wedding? Bc the Save the Dates would have been sent out a long time ago. Is it....is it Clare and Marten??

Joe

mawwiage is whath bwings uff togevvah todayyyy.

David Durant

Man, Joe. How years waiting to use that? Amazeballs.

enchantedsleeper

Most people seem to think that the "A-woo-oo" is from DuckTales. (I haven't actually seen it)

enchantedsleeper

Taira?

enchantedsleeper

Marten actually promised not to move before the wedding, so we are still potentially going to see that happen. But Jeph doesn't have to show all of it.

Richard Lindquist

👏 👏 👏

Mooster

I have to hope it is their wedding--I'd hate to miss it! Personally I think it makes sense. The ability to skip to the Tai's and Dora's wedding gives him the ability to tell the funny high points of the move to cubetown in retrospectives/memory recall, and not have to skip too far into the future. Good way to not have to go through all of tedious parts, and the move would take a looooong time.

Aerin Moriarty

Watch this not even be Tai and Doras wedding

Michael

How has this touched on DuckTales?

Allan Widner

I find it very strange how invested I am in this wedding.

Bill Silvia

I'm realizing that I don't know what to call this wedding. Dotai? Taido? Bianbert? Hubchi?

Ursus Ridens

Cue Alice Grove eating cereal...

BookBeard

The ceremony will finish in August 2025. Reception goes through 2030 easily.

Ursus Ridens

Earworm! I hate it, but I love it.

Not that Patrick Foltz

Guesses as to when in real time the wedding is done? My money is on August 2025.

Not that Patrick Foltz

I'm curious to see if it is just a two week skip. It is notable that this storyline gets it's own cover so to speak.

Etienne M.J. Dubourg

I mean, now I ship it...

Rob Vary

Which was approximately two and a half *years* ago real time.

Opus the Poet

That's another deep callback.

OldGoat

The actual question Pintsize asks is, "Wanna fake a honeymoon?"

BookBeard

I agree but I also think having Yay come back too quickly would undercut the seriousness of their situation. I'm looking forward to finding out how Roko has been handling it in the meantime, since I doubt she would just let the matter drop.

BookBeard

Three weeks away as of (roughly) a week ago in-universe. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4873

BookBeard

(other side of the card) You are cordially invited to the wedding of Lieutenant Potter and Agent Turing! When: [Redacted] Where: [Inadequate Security Clearance]

CaseyAEC

I dig this. Claire and Marten getting set up in Cubetown could drag on FOREVER. I'm psyched to see how things have changed and then learn how those changes came about. Plus those ladies have been waiting long enough!

joe velsher

Imagine if we get punked with a completely different wedding

joe velsher

CANTILEVER!

JourneymanWizard

and this is where teh comic ends

legobil

Thank you BookBeard! Made me re-read the previous wedding arc. And reading Claire learning whiskey is so fun. That Dune reference is legendary.

prettydragoon

Yes.

David Durant

Thank you, thank you! I shall be here all week for *all* your prognosticatory needs! (I called it!)

David Durant

If Steve is marraying anyone other than Cosette there shall be 😤😤😤 (borrowed from FartCaptor).

BookBeard

Nope, they decided against potluck. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4511

BookBeard

Something tells me Pintsize asks a lot of people. The real question is who actually said yes...

BookBeard

Which of Tai's dresses? The girly dress or the breakaway tutu? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4744

enchantedsleeper

Re-read these again, and it is SUCH a good run of strips 😂 Bubbles offering to create a distraction with a signal flare: "Where were you keeping that?" "Betwixt my mighty glutes." 🤣🤣🤣

enchantedsleeper

Whose dress, Tai's or Dora's?

enchantedsleeper

I really need to catch up with S*P, the last time I checked in was probably in the late 2010s

William Burns

Life is like a hurricane in Northampton Robots, romance, coffee shops also, Cubetown! Love is a mystery, or just chemistry! QC! oo woo oo Every day Jeph's out there making QC! oo woo oo

BookBeard

Bubbles

BookBeard

[goes down on one knee but still has to look down] DROID 06, WILL YOU MAKE CRUSHBOT THE HAPPIEST CRUSHBOT IN THE WORLD?

alphanor

I love a good Groucho reference!! Especially that one!

Chelsea

Wasn't Tai and Dora's wedding in just a few weeks the last time we hear about it in-comic? As in, it would be this fall? I can't find the reference

Jessie Basham

I clutched my pearls for a month before I realized it can't be that huge of a timeskip, If that we're going to happen we would focus on some other characters

Doc Gumby

Time-Skip-A-Loo-La She's my baby! Time-Skip-A-Loo-La Drives me crazy!

ljdbjlasfbjk

Roko and Sourdough

Uniquitous

Moray & Liz?

Todd Ellner

Is this where they Tai the knot?

Erin Putnam

Probably not Yay.

Miyaa

Sam and Emmitt

Jason Rock

"Or rewrite history" would be entirely appropriate, it would seem.

Matthew Harris

That dweem wiffin a dweem

Carrie

Awesome! I know a Pastafarian who marries people while he wears a colander.

Melissa Wilson

Don’t panic; you know where your towel is.

Mad Marie

Some time later in a galaxy somewhat nearby...

Opus the Poet

Yay says you're welcome.

Opus the Poet

Doesn't feel like only two years ago.

Opus the Poet

The assumption is it's Tai and Dora.

Opus the Poet

HHGTTG FTW!

Bill Silvia

Life is like a hurricane...

Onyx

Probably Dora and Tai, or maybe Veronica and Jim? Or people we didn't know were together. BUT.....Yay...?

Doeke Zanstra

No way!! I asked my girlfriend to marry me this summer! (I'm wondering who Pintsize asked though).

Dean Reilly

Penelope and Dolphin Jack.

enchantedsleeper

I like how Jeph puts "some time later" so he doesn't have to commit to when everything else was in relation to the wedding. Is it the next day???

enchantedsleeper

What font is that? It seems unusual for QC

enchantedsleeper

The explanation could also be any strip where they mention the wedding, I guess xD But why does it say "Save the Date", those are usually ages before a wedding

enchantedsleeper

I WISH

enchantedsleeper

That was a Clue film reference

Tim Weber

Pretty sure it's DuckTales.

Leak

Sean möglich...

Leak

What's next? Sunstone skipping forward to volume 20?

David Garrett

Gloop hug!

Ravenswing

Dora's referred to her "wife" at least once. Either she was being ironic, or that already happened off camera.

David Garrett

I’m going with the Duck Tales theme song.

Joseph Bonnar

It could ALSO be Willow in Werewolf Mode. (Check Jeph's NSFW collections if this doesn't ring a bell.)

Atramors

Pintsize is marrying his pigeon son's mother.

Pejo

I looked through the comments & didn't see anyone address the "A-Woo-oo" in the title, so my headcanon is that that's the beginning of the Doctor Who theme. 👍

Pejo

After the last strip, the "Moray & Liz visit Northampton" storyline seemed to be wrapped up, which made Yay's farewell note also seem like the end of that storyline too for the time being, rather than a short pause. I guess this pretty well confirms that. Shit, I miss Yay, I hope they're all right, & I hope they return soon, in one form or another.

Stephen Wells

We can only hope that mawwiage is what bwings us togethah with Yay.

Stephen Wells

Together they learned the answer to why Bubbles has a...

Stephen Wells

Dora has a thing from Bad Dragon which lets her knot the (message ends, connection lost)

Robert Smart

Man I was hoping it was crushbot getting married.

Ray S, 2nd nickname

Damn. It's not potluck, is it? (I'm out of Hamburger Helper.)

Joseph Bonnar

I suspect it's Dora and Tai's wedding, but I could easily be wrong.

Dave, Duke of Fridges

I have the fucked up situation of rapidly approaching their age atm

Rob Scott

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Bagge

But who gets to be the flower girl?

Nulgar

Why did you say the same thing twice?

Brittany Huckey

SEAN YEA

Brittany Huckey

That's an apt profile picture then. 🩷 to Stefani

chili sunrise

Yay better show up

legobil

Which translates to a couple of weeks in real time and a multiple of 5 in comics.

Captain Button

None of your Marxist filth here!

Zapski

Though in fairness, I want to see the Iris/Willow thing play out

legobil

Sean, it’s possible!

Zapski

Iris and Willow

legobil

Insert Tychus from StarCraft 2: ”It’s about god damn time.”

Thomas Halpin

The absolute teasing is off the charts. I predict Steve marrying a cereal mascot, but it could be the promised wedding we've been expecting.

Adam Friedlander

Steve & Cereal

Uniquitous

Liz & Sven are getting married!?

Markus Schaber

He's playing tricks on us. The "some time" is maybe a few minutes. 🤔

PostRetroism

I'm down for that.

Ian Dunbar

Nah, I bet the Black Slab got an invite

Sleepy John

Maybe Yay and the BSEALH eloped.

ValdVin

"Why don't the three of us get married?" "Why, that's bigamy!" "That's big of all of us."

Aran Fielder

Thank you for putting words to that feeling I've been having. I'm glad it ain't just me! 36 so maybe a touch behind the S*P characters, but the gap feels smaller every year. Been reading both S*P and QC since long before I really should have been. 😂

Shey

Same

Ísabel Pirsic

Sean, I don‘t know 🤷

BookBeard

Tai and Dora

BookBeard

* Melon and a mannequin with "husband" written on it

Francis

Wait do we know who’s getting married?

BookBeard

Perfection, Roko and Brad is a match made in leaven. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3961

Justin

The fact that the wedding arc is starting while Yay is still missing is... concerning to me. Also, I give it 50/50 odds that the Black Slab Emitting A Low Hum shows up as an uninvited wedding guest.

Ren Doiron

Just as long as Marten and Claire are still going strong is all I need.

Alias Fakename

Tortura and Angus

djellafine

Good point!

Hawkeye

Imma rsvp 1. And I'll have the bourbon. No need to feed me.

Daryl Sawyer

Roko and Brad.

Daryl Sawyer

Willow and Pinteize.

Zapski

It’s all about Sam’s wacky college antics now

kaitou

That's the fanciest summons I've ever seen.

Zapski

Also, I literally just officiated a Princess Bride wedding a couple weeks ago. I wore the hat and everything

Fay Roberts

Joke's on him - I love Alice Grove!

ValdVin

This makes four webcomics I read which have touched on Ducktales. What have others here seen?

Zapski

La Lie Lu Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm

Zapski

I was expecting something like this. Still missing Yay though 😥

Slight Hiccup

I don't know what I find more unnerving, Something*Positive where the characters have aged alongside me (Oh god Rory's voting now!) or QC where I started as their contemporary and I'm now 15-20 years older than them.

BookBeard

Oh Faye got her special move, it's just that only Bubbles gets to see it.

Carin Maja Brooks

Time? Progressing? In QC?

GZR

If all the characters aren't now way stronger, alla anime time skips, I will be very upset. Been waiting for Fay to get she special move forever.

Yelling Bird

Well we been teasing this one for a while now. :)

Jose Alfredo Villalobos

Elliot & Clinton

Pete

* Station and Tilly

BookBeard

Cereal was always his first and greatest love. Cosette never stood a chance.

jonesnori

I presume it's Dora and Tai's wedding, but who knows?

Alcaria Swain

I love QC so much. The disparity fills me with joy

BookBeard

Real world time? About two years. QC time? A week, maybe a week and a half. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4846

BookBeard

* Jeremy and Number Seven

Holly Nelson

- pops popcorn in anticipation of Tai riding up the aisle on an AI unicorn -

meepsalot

phew thank yah for that

William Cole

QUADRUPLE WEDDING! * Dora & Tai * Marten & Claire * Faye & Bubbles * Marigold & Dale DO IT!!!!!

BookBeard

Stay away from the watermelon at the buffet. Just trust me on this.

ordith

it doesn't _feel_ like that was 1500 strips ago

Holly Nelson

Still waiting for that letter from Mark…

BookBeard

Too late, Steve already offered. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4157

Sean Kinlin

...and so our minds are always in the gutter as we read.

AlexKorobeiniki

JEPH YOU DOG! Man, when was the last time we had an honest to god time skip?

William Cole

That can take years in QC Time!

ValdVin

Marten isn't the only adult kid who's expert in doing this. https://www.leftoversoup.com/archive.php?num=612 &c.

Tim Eldred

My vote for Yay and the Director.

Ron Braithwaite

Well, I did love Alice Grove so I won't mind toooo much.

Tudza

They are thinking of abolishing leap days in February. This is an urgent cry to keep Feb 29

BookBeard

Tai said three week in #4873. I'd estimate prior to this time skip there was roughly two weeks left. Not much of a time skip in QC time maybe, but in real world time it probably just saved us about 4-5 years. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4873

William Cole

That bwessed awwangement…that dweam, within a dweam…

Christopher Burke

Technically every panel is a time skip...

Tim Eldred

Beat me to it.

Alacrity Fitzhugh

I have GOT to see that. Gloop for everybody!

BookBeard

So Floating Black Slab Emitting A Low Hum is finally tying the knot with Fairy Girl? I always knew those two crazy kids could make it work.

BookBeard

Sean, Maybe?

Jacob Swider

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Bridgette Ryan

I think Marten promised that they wouldn't leave before the wedding, so probably only a few weeks jump.

BookBeard

Steve is marrying Ol' Boaty. Turns out he was the boat that Steve drunk bought and they really hit it off.

djellafine

For everyone freaking out and seeming genuinely confused, here's the explanation (thx Bookbeard as usual) https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3979

Mat

Sean, Yes!

Shawn K. Younkin

Sven getting married to May... with a watermelon as a the guest of honor.

BookBeard

Roko and a loaf of sourdough, obviously.

Dean Reilly

Jeph will troll us all by reposting all of Alice Grove from tomorrow. 😄

Shawn K. Younkin

I love Pintsize, but the Floating Black Slab can do MUCH better.

TSG

Dora and Tai's wedding!!! Finally!!!

djellafine

YEARS ago

BookBeard

Let's hope Marten opens this card a bit quicker than the last one. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2372

djellafine

Not that much of a time skip though, didn't they say the wedding was in a couple weeks?

Czarzhan

So, Dora and Tai?

Shawn K. Younkin

No. It's a save the date to say good-bye to Claire and Marten. 😭😭😭 Or it's for Dora and Tai.

djellafine

FINALLY

BookBeard

Veronica and Jim are not married, no matter how excited Claire would be. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3157

Elf Sternberg

Damn you for being quicker.

BookBeard

Just after 3979, although it wasn't confirmed until 3989. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3979 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3989

Drazi

Jeph wants to get on with Canada and forgot he has to speed rush a wedding before he can. 😅

Miyaa

Sean, no.

BookBeard

Nope, Jeph has said he has no plans to end QC anytime soon. Check the news post on #5000. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5000

Alacrity Fitzhugh

i haz anxieties...

Miyaa

I’m predicting that Iris is legally certified to perform marriage ceremonies in Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Maine. And the ceremony takes place in Rhode Island.

Aditya Rameshan

WOOOOO

Doug Moen

Yay and the Director's relationship had a rocky start, but they began talking over social media, and now they are getting married.

BookBeard

How I wish I was in Sherbrooke now!

Steve McSheffrey

I forget about Tai until she's mentioned in comments.

meepsalot

hold up does this mean were finishing the QC?!

Diptych

WUV. TWUE WUV.

Bridgette Ryan

Cut to Steve eating cereal, then panicking... Shit, I forgot my wedding day!!!!

Jose Alfredo Villalobos

WWWWHHHHHHAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Will Weaver

Is May marrying a fighter jet?

Yonatan Zunger

OK that would be fucking *hilarious*

Kaos7heory

Gotcha, thank you!

Nicholas Lopez

‼️‼️‼️‼️

Sean Kinlin

Time to Tai the knot!

voyager-ngc5195

AND THEN THEY ALL MATRIMONIED

Evan

When did they initially get engaged?

Bach, outta pocket

Jeph has a chance to do the funniest thing and make this about Sven getting married

Taigan

Not yet, Dora made a point of asking Marten not to move to Canada till after the wedding

Olaf

Just the other day I was wondering if QC would end with the wedding, ca. 2040 in our outside time.

Keith Steiger

I bet one Internets on Dora and Tai, since they're the only ones engaged as far as I can remember....

Adarsh Nednur

Tai and Dora's marriage finally?? I'm so excited, the first married couple in the whole strip (other than Marten's dads, and are his mom and Jim married? I forget)

Dan Curtis

hell yeah

Simon Green

If Pintsize is involved 100% it's going to be some elaborate joke about dates / butts

Alias Fakename

Heeeey, about damn time we get to Dora and Tai's wedding! Still worried about Yay, though, was not expecting a timeskip before this gets resolved... EDIT: Would have loved this to be Pintsize, but he kept getting zero opportunities to get anywhere with Moray. Dude deserves some happiness by now, let him meet someone who can handle the Pintsize style.
