@Todd Ellner The QC-verse doesn't have generative AI because they have the real sort.

In a way, I think even being friends (with benefits) would be a step up for Sven. As opposed to, you know, one-night stand or hatefuck booty call.
Travis Young
I don't think that May is interested in a deeper than FWB relationship (which it seems sven wants). That being said, they seemed to get along great and she was really good at puncturing his ego

Have I told you how much I/We appreciate your lore knowledge Well, I am telling you now
Bagge
Let's hope it's not Moray
Jennifer Pylko
dang i need an executive functioning coach
Jennifer Pylko
looks like a long word followed by 2 short words, my guess is "prehistoric bird beer"
Hal Shipman
But what about Yay and Moray? Wrap it up, Sven!
Yelling Bird
I tried.
Dustin Wilson
A smooth drinking session beer which wont let you get Jurassicked
Summer
"Approved by therapists since prehistoric times."
Amelia Lewis
Get Rexed!

I really want to know what the additional is text on the Cretaceous IPA poster.
David Paul
They end up making a more chill version of Yay...
Carsten Schultz
I wish I didn't know so much about the US that I understand the title.
Bagge
See, Marten. That's why YOU should sell the beverage. Ice coffee and chill talks. You'll be rich!
BookBeard
Actually it was her breakup with Angus that started Faye on the downward spiral that ended in hospitalization. In fact she got over the breakup with Sven fairly quickly, certainly more quickly than he did. He was pretty much pining over her right up until he met May (like, literally the panel before). https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4003
Gamebook
Has Sven ever really gotten over what he did to Faye? He seems to have been miserable and mopey ever since then. It also seems to have been what started Faye's slide down into her serious alcoholic episode.
Jeffrey Anderson
How are you feeling Jeph?
Sarah Valentine
Gotta say, first time I've ever heard "you'd want the dinosaurs to be diabetic" in any context, and it is WILD
Pejo
Couldn't've been an easy gig. Thank you for your service, & helping make the world a little better.
BookBeard
ELE beers are great, but the hangover feels like you got hit by an asteroid...
Mark
You'd want the dinosaurs to be diabetic for there to be any significant level of sugar in it to ferment!
Nulgar
Well yeah, it's an American beer.
legobil
Plot twist: Cretaceous IPA is just dinosaur urine. Deeply fermented.
Davus Otho
If marten could become an executive functioning coach, his skills would be in high demand
Uniquitous
Forget the coffee shop, open a "life coach" consultancy

Cretaceous is one of 3 beers released by ELE (Extinction Level Event) Brewing, the other 2 being Triassic Wheat and Jurassic Stout
Yelling Bird
I actually worked diagnostics at a juvenile detention facility. Yeah, I'm amazed they hired me too.

Brewing IPAs before it was cool! (by "it" we mean "the ice age")

@BookBeard what is the price of Good Advice at COD?
Todd Ellner
Triassip!

Todd Ellner
So that generative AI can copy him?

Does Cubetown have a licensed anything?

My Dad used to own a liquor store, yes, beer is definitely a form of payment. And whisky, and wine. It was rarely the good stuff either, I guess that says something about the kind of people that will fix your AC for Milwaukee's Best, your books for Jim Beam, or clean your carpets for Franzia.

The best I could manage today was a "Cretinous Bitters."
Not that Patrick Foltz
The ever deepening V! Will it reach his navel?
Elf Sternberg
Nah, 90% of being a therapist is telling a person everyone else in their life is telling them already, only charging them for it so that the pain of paying to hear it from a professional motivates you to fix yourself.

Just set up a Lucy van Pelt-style therapy stand. Instant $$$$$!

New Yelling Bird lore just dropped and I’m here to learn more about the enigmatic avian.
Pete
Some of us take longer to grow up than others.
Minzoku Bokumetsu
they can technically study Marten even if he's just a complete rando with no abilities it'd just be WEIRD and a particularly convoluted hypothesis
BookBeard
Hard to say. She hasn't mentioned it since shortly after her near death experience, but that doesn't mean she hasn't still been going in the background. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2895
darklion
It's only been three years?!?! Yeah, we need a timeskip. The audience is aging out.
jonesnori
I remember my late husband telling me he paid the football team beer to move flats for his college's theatre. (It was a residential college theatre rather than the University one, and they used the dining hall for shows.)
T.
That can be very therapeutic
Hexagonal Crank
Mine is "So good you'll mistake it for Jurrasic."

In #144 Dora is 26. Sven is two years older. Aside from that, someone else (dedicated and meticulous) made this online spreadsheet which is useful but doesn't make any promises it can't prove: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wqTgvVxV0GE1EoKnR0pxVChHUo4ZYtal/edit#gid=2000794116
BookBeard
He was 28 way back in #1782, but that was probably at least a year or two ago in-universe. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1782
ValdVin
Is this a CoD trade secret, along with spidercoffee? I mean, Dora's probably gonna let Marten use them gratis, but still I don't want Tom Horbon's getting their hands on it.
BookBeard
I can see it now. Therapist office above the coffee shop, drawing in unsuspecting clients with his chill-dude barista vibes. Then it's all "the first one is free" and he hands over the business card: "Marten Reed, Stealth Therapist"
Yelling Bird
I used to be a therapist. I'm not kidding.
darklion
It just feels like Sven is too old for this. But I don't even know how old anyone is anymore.
BookBeard
So good you'll wish your arms were long enough to drink it!
BookBeard
Marten is definitely going to have to implement CoD's "barista heart-to-heart" policy. https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4681

Does blowing shit up count?
Hexagonal Crank
Hmmm. Peanut gallery? Could we get a tag-line for Cretaceous IPA, please?
Andrea Andrew
A brew so old Tyrannosaurus were drinking it.
Adam with two As, a D, and an M
Probably wouldn't be that hard to get a degree in social work at Cubetown.
Azrux
Ngl feelin pretty thirsty for a Cretaceous IPA right about now
Adarsh Nednur
This further reaffirms my belief that Marten should, in fact, become a therapist. It is the single best application of his ability to attract misfits and outcasts and make them feel accepted, and it makes use of his biggest superpower, which is being chill and nonjudgemental to a fault. (But as someone who is studying to become a therapist myself, I am biased lol)
FuzzyDragon Cosplay
I will regularly give a coworker beer to help with Linux issues
Doc Gumby
I could drive my micro-brew snob friend nuts with one I bet.
Matthew Delahaye
I want Cretaceous IPA
Doc Gumby
Yes, Marten, you really should!
Simon Green
new artisanal 'Free Advice' 5.5% IPA
Leaflemming
Have to admit, still shipping him with May.
Chelsea
I'm ready for "Cretaceous IPA" T-shirts now, Jeph
ValdVin
As someone who regularly has to reset my stepmom's computer's search engine, I can confirm.
Miyaa
Which reminds me, is Faye still seeing a therapist? What Faye has been through will take a near lifetime – at least a decade – to recover from.
Tannerbot
Sven seems to be a terrible patient.
Shawn K. Younkin
Great, another millionaire parasite dumping his troubles on the working man for free!
Miyaa
Does Cubetown have a licensed therapist? 🤔
FuzzyDragon Cosplay
In some circles, beer is a widely accepted form of payment.
AlexKorobeiniki
Oh my sweet demon lord can y’all imagine if Marten’s ability to attract oddballs and have them spill their guts out to him is something Cubetown can study
Wynn Donivan
Out-of-network but in-style
Michael
Better be fancy beer for that quality of insight
ValdVin
This is giving me big Faye: "Imagine how good you'd feel seeing a licensed professional!" vibes.
