There she is, third row, third column! Well, that better be her, because after Amir and Dale, I’m fresh out of brown people that face could belong to. Well, maybe Renee, but she’s got short hair and isn’t really in the comic any more, along with the one other brown person, Padma.

No, that’s definitely Gabby in the third from top, third from left spot. Padma and Renee don’t have that frizzy hair.

Okay, it appears a strip has disappeared. At least as far as my browser is saying. I can read the strip for Tuesday ([2570](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2570)) and today (_2572_). But the Wednesday page is empty. The page is there but there’s no strip and nothing except an announcement of “No news today, sorry.” If you look in the [archive](http://questionablecontent.net/archive.php), the numbering goes from 2570 to 2572 without a 2571.

And it’s apparent from the context that there was a 2571. We jumped from Claire and Emily talking about boots to Claire having just told Emily she is transgender. So 2571 must have been Claire actually telling this to Emily.

My speculation is that Jacques decided he was unhappy with the strip and pulled it. Did anyone see it?

I didn’t see it either. And my QC browser app isn’t taking kindly to the out-of-orderness… it’s not letting me pull up ANY other strips.

Hopefully it’ll be resolved soon.

Jeph’s twitter mentions site issues, nothing was intentionally removed.

The only one I can’t see is yesterday’s, which I missed. Did Claire intentionally come out to Emily, or was there some awkward oops moment?

I saw that after posting. But it seems strange that the strip was removed from the archive. If it wasn’t intentionally removed, you’d expect there to be a link to the page even if the strip hadn’t loaded.

The comic hasn’t showed up in my RSS feeder in two weeks. I figured maybe it was vacation time.

Emily was asking Claire about kissing boys and romantic relationships, much like she was asking Marten earlier. Which segues nicely into today’s strip.

I’m missing the 2571 strip (where Claire presumably “comes out” to Emily) as well, both in my webcomics feeder and from the website.

I got it to work. [Here](http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2571) is a link. I think that it’s just site issues since I can’t today’s strip to load.

Doesn’t work for me. Doubt it’ll work for anyone else. According to his Twitter feed, Jeph accidentally posted Friday’s comic instead of Thursday’s comic, and has since fixed things, although it looks to me like the archive is still acting up a bit - i can’t get to the current comic through the archives, only by going through the front page.

Thanks. Worked for me. Still seems to be a story gap between Claire’s “Can you keep a secret” and the next comic but I guess that’s the Thurs/Fri mixed up comic?

Less technically, Claire seems to be gettin’ her “girl” on these days between the pierced ears and the heels.

The link works for me now, too, but it goes to the “Can you keep a secret strip?” not the “missing” strip that was meant to be posted tomorrow.

If you change it manually to 2572 you can see that one too. Which i guess is really tomorrow’s strip?

</div>

Yeah, looks like 2572 is tomorrow’s strip. I could only see 2571 when I looked at QC during my morning coffee, and I can’t access 2572 now unless I fix up the link by hand as **Folly** suggested: [Questionable Content](http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2572)

ETA: is Emily now going to want to be trans too, since she copies whatever Claire does?

Okay, it looks like strips got put up in the wrong order and Jacques is trying to straighten it out. Glad to see it was apparently nothing more than a minor glitch.

I hope this new font is a temporary experiment and he goes back to the one he was using a week ago. New one is harder to read.
