I don't quite get today's "Questionable Content" strip

In today’s strip, Dora tells Penelope that she’s the best assistant manager she’s ever had, and Penelope says she’s the only assistant manager she’s ever had.

Not true! Faye was the first!

Seven months later, Marten and Claire are finally heading back to Northampton. Any idea how long their trip was in-universe? At least one night, I know.

I’m thinking two nights. There was the night the characters in cubetown woke up hungover and I’m pretty sure it was a different night that Ayo stayed over at her sister’s apartment before her first day at the job at the coffee shop.

Day One: Marten & Claire arrive at Cubetown, Claire takes the job, they meet Liz, party, a few people get told that Claire is taking the job

Day Two: Claire interviews assistants, Marten & Liz go rental-spot searching, Liz decides to go with them back to town, Dora puts up Help Wanted sign, gets Ayo. Ayo has her breakdown at her sister’s place

Day Three (Present): Marten, Claire & Liz get on Boatie, Ayo shows up for work and annoys Dora and Faye

All I know is that we are still within three weeks until the wedding of Dora and Tai. They said three weeks just before the start of the Cubetown storyline.

Which started more than a year ago!

Slightly different questions: what happened to the snake tattoo that Tai used to have on her upper arm above her star?

Is there an explanation for how Corpse Witch got her moniker? It looks like everyone just started calling her that.

Were these covered in some of the Patreon-only strips?

I don’t recall that – got a QC example link? Like 10+ years ago I’m sure! :smiling_face:

Nope! Why does Jeph’s name have f’d up spelling!?! Because!

I mean, in-comic there was a “her name is Corpse Witch!???” WTF moment, but yes, never explained.

I can’t get the archive to open right now, but it was there in her first few strips, from when Marten applied for his job.

Has anyone else found the site incredibly slow or completely non-responsive over the past week or two?

Hi five. It’s been a problem.

Yeah, I’ve often had to refresh a few times to get the site to load in.

So it’s not my wifi to blame?

It’s Pintsize. Or Melon. Opinions are split.

It’s an anchor not a snake. Tai’s first appearance

I had no problems with the site this past week until today – took a few tries to load.

OMG, the iambic pentameter strip! The most nerdly QC thing evar!!

I’m so ashamed I didn’t remember the anchor. :tired_face:

Interestingly, this strip still shows the anchor but its crossbar is gone

The smart money always blames Pintsize.

I just noticed that that strip calls Marten and Tai’s employer “Smith” and not “Smif”. Guess that was before Jeph decided to add a fig life to real-life Northampton institutions.

So, recently, Yay got caught snooping around on the Director’s network, freaked out, and noped out of there.

And we had a time skip, and Dora and Tai got married.
