I’ve never seen the strip before…yep, she doesn’t want to let go of the hug, then starts crying. ---

PeeJee’s from Something Positive. Also, being rather Hanners-like in the current arc, and getting all squicked at the idea of someone masturbating to the thought of her. ---

Just seemed like a hug she wouldn’t let go of. Therefore, making it awkward. But the crying thing makes more sense now. ---

> [@](#): > > Who’s PeeJee??? As others have noted, PeeJee is a character from the webcomic _Something Positive_. My joke was that there are shippers there who want her to get together with another character Davan, much like the shippers in QC want Hannelore and Marigold to get together. In both cases, the writers repeatedly state it’s never going to happen. ---

Wow, and here’s a whole 'nother world full of people with hopes and dreams I knew nothing about, I’m such a hermit, I _must_ get out more. ---

> [@astro](#): > > Re Marigold, the strip artist really does make her pretty repulsive as he keeps drawing her with an unattractive face, then adds lots of blackheads and acne due (assumedly) to poor hygiene based on her history of not taking care of her surroundings or herself. Marigold has two beauty marks on her face, but since she’s started hanging out with the others and has become more social, the acne has gone away – presumably because she’s washing more often. –Cliffy ---

Yeah it looks like she has two moles. They’re really distracting sometimes. ---

> [@astro](#): > > Either the red spots are acne/pimples or the black spots are. You can’t call _both_ “beauty marks”. Does not compute. When first introduced, Marigold had a bunch of dots on her face. Now, she consistently has the two – the others have mostly disappeared. Because the first two are permanent, and the others were acne that has since cleared up. –Cliffy ---

Did anyone else think of the movie Batteries Not Included when they saw the baby Roombas? ---

> [@EvilTOJ](#): > > Did anyone else think of the movie Batteries Not Included when they saw the baby Roombas? I forgot completely about that movie! It would be a good pickme up next time I’m in a bad mood. Also, this QC strip seems to be a bit ADD. It’s jumped from girl who wants a boyfriend to roombas to girl who makes coffee grinding, expresso crapping robots. ---

It’s jumped from girl who wants a boyfriend to roombas to girl who makes coffee grinding, expresso crapping robots. All of these people are friends or at least acquaintances. The girl and guy from the first strip mentioned in the OP are roommates, and the guy is stuck on the girl who built the espresso-pooping tyrannosaurus. That girl works for the other dark-haired girl, who’s the girlfriend of another guy who once was stuck on the tyrannosaurus-builder, and the blond girl with the roombas is their upstairs neighbor and friend. In other words, yeah, it’s a little ADD but if you’ve been following the strip for a while it’s less so. ---

It doesn’t help that the creator doesn’t have a cast list (or at least, one in an obvious place) on his website. I had to check out the Wiki article to get a run-down on these people and why intelligent robots are an unremarked-upon part of the strip. ---

I wouldn’t want Pintsize…but I wouldn’t mind Marigold’s AnthroPC…she seems pleasant enough. ---
