Thanks for that. What a fun extension!

**BigT** and everyone else, you might also like QC’s [WikiQuote](https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Questionable_Content) page, which I’ve worked on quite extensively.

It doesn’t help that all Jeph’s profiles seem to look similar, with the same chin. He’s just not good at drawing people from the side. And her hair changed again. And he now has this habit of squishing faces in the bottom panels for some reason.

That said, all I needed was her hair color and proximity to Dora to know who she was. Her small stature probably helped, too.

What do you suppose the next big QC conflict will be? Or the next big romantic pairing?

My guess: Someone with quirky, offputting personality traits will have to decide whether to let her guard down and accept the friendship of a warm-hearted group of mild-mannered people.

I’m guessing we get stuck with another Brun-oriented storyline soon.

Please, dear god, not Brun. Easily the most charmless character introduced in many years. And that’s counting Corpse Witch.

No argument. But I’m predicting we get some arc with her and Brother Metal-hand (Cliff? Clyde?). And they already put the hooks in between her and the A-List Squad with Hanners.

I’m not happy about my own prediction.

Thanks, that’s right. “Clin-TON” according to Emily. I only remembered that it was a somewhat unusual “C” name.

re: pairing, Bubbles & Faye seem to be perking along nicely.

I prefer Emily’s coinage of “Mister Robot Hand!”

**Marigold:** How’d you lose your hand, anyway?  
**Claire (Clinton’s sister):** HE MASTURBATED SO MUCH HIS HAND WITHERED AND FELL OFF  
_(Panel of stunned silence and dropped jaws)_  
**Marigold, thinking hard:** But…wouldn’t the hand have gotten _stronger?_  
**Clinton:** It was a fireworks accident!!!

Still maybe my favorite ever entry.

Speaking a whacking off, Faye, and Bubbles, wouldn’t doin’ it with a robot be, y’know, a form of masturbation…?

That is _so_ racist!

But yeah, I think Faye and Bubbles might be headed somewhere. That scene where they ended up in the same bed reminded me a lot of the similar one between Martin and Claire, at his dad’s wedding, before they started dating.

May has already [worked all this out](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3302) (4 strips).

If Melon didn’t have a butt, what exactly was she sitting on while talking to Claire, I wonder?

And how come she doesn’t have toes? I wonder if the same is true of Momo and May.
