Long time no dump. Just when you think Jeph's art standards couldn't get any lower.
Nolan Perry
Jeph is becoming Dark Syde Phil in his bandwagoning.
David Rivera
Very impressive Jeph. You've combined both of your storytelling devices: new characters with unexplained motivations and overly verbosely recapping what just happened.
Cameron Parker
Jeph is being literal here. He really does like when jokes are explained.
Jason Nguyen

This…changes my perspective on the matter.
If he thinks joke explanation is actually a part of good humor, then his previous failures seem less pathetic and more sad.

Well, I'd be wondering a) why as an adult I suddenly have an infant sibling and b) why my parents are struggling considering they already know the robes on this kind of thing.
Julian Brown
No Man's Sky, the latest 6 day fad in vidya.
You're not the only one. Again, he's probably trying to joke but him pointing something like that out, with no self awareness, given his track record….
Hunter Parker
Hitting on people who are incapable of leaving is a generally rude thing to do. I'm not surprised that Jeph was unaware of this fact.
BOTH of them are wrong. A goodie bag is an amazing party accessory when built with a little thought, and it takes almost no effort to ignore a fussy baby.
Isaiah Lewis
No, Jeph. See, you campaigned on a promise and now you owe these people. I like how these lazy assholes are trying to reframe Patreon into some sort of donation system when it's really an alternative payment system for work done. Alice grove is 45 strips behind schedule and there are only 152 strips so it is 23% behind.
Ayden Harris
See Jeph, this is what happens when you spend the entirety of your 20s and 30s with no physical activity. Your 40s and beyond won't be any better.

Brandon Morris
Yeah, Jeph, it's because Candians are too police and US EMTs know drug seeking when they see it.

This was posted before the back incident. So, Jeph spent weeks gloating about his "buffer" and is down to less than a week's worth and is now sedated with narcotics.

I find it rather funny when a joke is told, understood by everyone, and then some one goes on to explain it in far more detail making it a much bigger deal than anyone had ever intended as though it was the funniest thing in the world.

Guess we're doing the Miyazaki world tour. Jeph had a real chance to pull this out by declaring Proco Rosso his favorite.
Michael Myers
So in a span of about 2 weeks, Jeph's "I'm the best! I'm a month ahead! Ahhhh it feels so good to feel this superior!" turned into "I probably can't finish out the week." It's funny, Jeph is just a high functioning addict. He has all the behaviors. He has no idea how lucky he is to have stumbled upon the easiest, most high paying job.
Anthony Barnes
I know exactly how good it is to luck out on a good career. Got a great career out of college, stupid awesome pay, I got laid off early this year, still searching for the next job.
Jeph can suck all the rancid lasagna for the modicum of effort he actually puts forward for the amount of money he earns for being a lazy, useless shit.

I only recently have gotten into Stardusk Crusaders (the season they introduce stands, as in pic that started this convo). It is certainly interesting in how it structures its story and how easily minor characters can find themselves killed off.
Crunchyroll has the most recent anime, which covers the beginning to a few arcs behind the manga (iirc, as stated, I am behind).
David Garcia
I want to think brun is getting shorter, but that first panel ruins it with a dose of reality.
Joseph Bell
Jeph's secondary Twitter is even more retarded than the first.
Ethan Flores
There's no rhyme or reason to it. It's like watching one side of a group text conversation.
Just call it JoJo like a normal person.
Jason Johnson
No Jeph, this is a tux. That is a fat chick in jeans and a too small coat and vest.
Dominic Cook
I'm honestly not even sure what kind of outfit he's trying to represent there.. It looks like she's wearing long-johns with a long-sleeved, v-neck sweatervest on top.
Jordan Price
Jeph got clothing tips from the same place he learned how to draw guns.
Nolan Richardson
That reminds me of a bot in some IRC channels I go on.
Oliver Flores
It's like Eggdrop level sophistication, the bot from the early 90s.
Evan Watson

Luke Turner

Jeremiah Clark
I believe it's meant to be slacks or some other vaguely formal type of pant(lets be honest Jeph knows dick about dressing up and slacks are probably all he can name), a white button up shirt, a waist coat, and some kind of jacket only meant to come down to the midriff like a bullfighter.
Which is really weird as a combo to wear to a generic fancy restaurant as staff.
It's also a really cucky thing to imagine as your fantasy. In a formal environment you could imagine a bar worker in a swanky white or black dress. Or if nothing else a more sporty cut of jacket with fancy embroidery. This just looks like the kind of bare minimum outfit you see on wannabe hipster women who don't want to spend more than 100 dollars total on their "fancy" ensemble.
Dominic Sullivan
Calling it now. JJ is going to set up Iraqi Kiki with Big Chad over here, in a cruel twist of irony that will make all of the weedy betamax Clintons out there weep into their fedoras.

William Cooper
Had to double check to see that it wasn't Jeph that put the teardrop on Elliot. That seems like something he'd do.
Kevin Smith
Chad was interested in the skinny black girl that worked in that bakery long ago. He got cucked by Marten.
That guy will get cucked by Clinton.
Brandon Mitchell
Having an actual autistic character say that out loud it really funny to me. It could be what she says in the final panel of every strip she appears in.
Every character is so non-human acting that it could fit somewhere in almost any strip. Just about every strip I looked at would have worked, these are just the first couple I tried.
Adam Lopez
Comic exists solely to pad out the writer/artists fucked up view of reality and its inability to conform to them instead of them conforming to it, as such the characters make no sense because they are based on their understanding of ppl, not a healthy person's understanding of ppl
It would be like me as a schizophrenic making a comic about how everyone wants to kill each other, its characters would only make sense to me by nobody else
Everyone has something that fucks them up inside, a good writers job is to filter that shit out and make something entertaining, and not just to help their bruised view of the world
Matthew Rivera
I love a good sweater puppy topside window, but a girl looking slutty is not better than a girl who wears the proper amount of clothing for the weather.
Evan Lewis

Jeremiah Taylor
Yup.
I was thinking about this only the other day actually, regarding our collective love of brown chicks in baggy pants. I was wondering why I find baggy pants on chicks so attractive, and it struck me while I was looking at the ass of the chick walking in front of me - more is less.
Nearly every other woman these days wears tight fitting pants, displaying the shape and contours of their ass and legs. And tbh fam, only those with the most exceptional asses end up standing out when there's ass everywhere to be seen. It's ass desensitization.
Baggy pants though…they have this magical effect of somehow bringing out the shape and broadness of the ass, while at the same time the cut of the leg, rather than following the contours of the wearer's leg, is ruffled and straight, serving to enhance the appearance of wide hips and in turn enhancing the thinness of the waist. My poor oekaki efforts kind of display what I mean.
I guess part of it is also that it leaves more to the imagination. If a girl has flabby legs or skinny legs, they sometimes don't look that great in tight jeans. A pair of baggy pants can help cover defect up though.
Carson Morgan

Well, yeah. There's a reason why a lot of guys wear hoodies all the time: Loose clothes allow certain assumptions.
Neither of you got what I was saying. Look at that there ensamble. It's nothing. It's a uniform. It makes IPP look like a background character. I'm not saying you should have Koriandr levels of undress, but at least it should be made so the blushing is justified.That outfit there does not merit that response.
Chase Sullivan
Maybe the faggot whose name i don't know/remember has a maid fetish. Maybe. I'm just assuming. People have all sorts of fetishes. I'm getting all sorts of hot and bothered around prosthetics, toasters and early XX century military uniforms

Nathan Martinez
As always The Handstab ruins everything good that he creates. What made her "good" compared to the rest of the cast was that she was an implied high functioning Autist. Now that he's going whole hog with the 'tism train he's basically going to continually dumb down her character to the point where she'll basically act no different from a retarded 3 year old. As is right now we are at retarded 12 year old level
Parker Fisher
He knows Hanners and Marigold are his most marketable characters but has long gotten bored with them and is now trying to recapture the magic. Problem is, as mediocre as he's always been, he's still about 80% less hungry/motivated these days so there's no magic left to capture. At some level he realizes this–thus the drastic lifestyle change moving to Canada. But all he's done is trade staying in doors all day posting on Twitter in Massachusetts with staying indoors all day posting on Twitter in Canada. The guy is in complete homeostasis, a type of autopilot you generally associate with seniors with dementia.

Ever notice when these guys are pressed to produce these death threats it ends up being "I disagree with your political opinion" or banal insults/taunts like kys?
Not that Twitter isn't shit, but Jeph is hardly a good actor in this scenario. Also shows how these guys eat themselves. Twitter is so progressive they're self-destructing because of it and it's still not good enough.
Lucas Cook
The sickness has infected me. Last night I dreamed that Jeph indeed ran out of buffer and released a guest comic instead. But instead of being an actual comic, it was an amateurish school girl collage of previous guest comics with the description text thanking guests for their work over the years.

I count 11 or 12 external ads, house ads, and other profit drivers. I didn't actually mean to call out Alice Grove but ultimately decided to keep it because its ultimate goal is to drive more profit, if indirectly from this context. If that's not strong enough, one of the items in "Contact" regards merchandise.
Joshua Anderson
Oh, it's also hard to believe he's kept the QC Twitter pages and Indietits in the sidebar. The Twitter stuff has been dead for over two years and wasn't updated enough anyway, and Indietits was a false start that ended nearly 10 years ago. Meanwhile Jeph banishes the far more relevant (by comparison) Dord to the very bottom, beneath sitemap stuff like the "Other Good Comics" to boost his SEO and "Privacy Policy".
Shit, I should have highlighted the other comics zone now that I've thought it through.
Ironically Jeph just financially hurts Willis with his substituting insult.
Jack Rodriguez
this panel fucked my shit up untl I realized it was supposed to be looking down at Chad and Renee. I thought there was a shelving unit defying gravity and a wall that changed color because why the hell not.
Gavin Ross
It's notable that Scary Go Round / Bad Machinery is missing from the "Good Comics". Jeph slobbered all over John Allison in the early days and Allison was one of the first QC guests.

Are these people robots? Do they know what affection is? And that it has many stages, and that patting someone's head is not the same thing as having sex with them?
By this guy's criteria, just being in a public space is being inappropriately intimate with people who aren't respecting his boundaries and consent.
Get over yourself dude.

Aiden Ward
It's called rape. Get it right or delete your Holla Forums account.
These are the two latest Alice Grove strips. It seems that Handstab got the idea to introduce a new character, and wanted to do so right away. He felt the best way to do this would be to insert a jarring "two-weeks-ago" page, and then have the character arrive directly afterwards.
Also note that for some reason he saved one page as jpg and the other as png.

I'll also add that the art and walls of text on the "Two Weeks Earlier" page reminds me of Lightbringer.

Why the fuck is she at the coffee shop? It makes zero sense to be there. There's no way Dora would be advertising for help. She already has more employees than she needs. C'mon, Jeph, you at least have to try to explain why Coffee of Doom is the center of the universe. This is worse than Star Trek V.
Nathaniel Hall
>he never heard of JUNE
Zachary Lopez
But then what's the point of all the newspaper reading if you're not going to follow up on it? It's just an exercise in procrastination otherwise. Who goes from looking for a specific job to desperately trying to land absolutely anything in a span of 24-48 hours? Face it, this makes no sense. It's just a thing to cram the woman into the coffee shop for no reason.
Colton Gutierrez
Perhaps Dora will fire the crazy duo and remake Coffee of Doom into Alcohol of Blindness (And a Lingering Smell of Fish) And since I know your reading this Jeph I really like the look of absolute revulsion Clinton's got going about Claire's faggotry

Ryan Clark
Yeah. The flat, plain "something wrong with CSS" fad is incorrigible and a real sign that decision making has been left to teenagers. Anyone who is old enough remembers the world wide web, as it was called back then, looking like this by default. And people couldn't wait to leave it. Netscape shamelessly broke standards to escape the plainness and became so influential doing so that the W3C, the web standards body, were basically forced into anointing Netscape's de facto standard the official one.
I blame Microsoft. Both their marketshare and mindshare are cratering but for some reason the entire industry took cues from them when it comes to flat interfaces, which they introduced in the Zune, a product no one cared about yet for some reason remains highly influential. Even Apple is copying this shit.
It's distressing to see the entire industry dump decades of UI knowledge to chase this "Millennials know best because they grew up with technology" paradigm. Buttons don't have borders anymore and the user just has to know what can be interacted with and what cannot without sufficient UI hints.
People are calling this new and fresh, but it isn't. It's like a return to alchemy or four humours type medicine.
Good article, BTW, but it makes it apparent that Jeph just saw the word "brutal" and decided to ape the idea becase he needs his metal creds so he has to make this site as brutal as possible.
Brayden Adams

Austin Cox
I wish I could quit reading QC. I used to like it, then I hated it but kept reading it because it was so loathsome. Now there's not even enough here to hate. There are no characters, there is no story, there is no conflict, it's not funny, it's not even mildly amusing, it could end at any time.
But if Jeph quit QC he would have to get a real job or create something of actual value. So I'm gonna keep checking it every few weeks looking forward to the eventual complete mental breakdown, mid life crisis and possible suicide that follows the end of QC.

I don't necessarily have a problem with Web 1.0 style, in fact in many cases I prefer it. For example Drudge doesn't have to be any more than it already is.
But, intentionally aping 1.0 BADLY is about the lowest you can get. It's basically the web design version of pixel shit.
Well it's Jeph so I assume everything is a bizarre delusion.
Camden Wilson
what are you some kind of communist
Nolan Gray
We're all in the same boat. I was actually almost out, doing the thing where you forget to check for "a few days" and it turns out to be three weeks. And then "You and Me" happened and spawned these threads. You and Me was the thing that would have ended it for me.
My moving the goalpost condition was to see Jeph's Patreon crater. Well, that's not happening. It's only going up. I know it used to be $10k but that figure wasn't real. Patreon adjusted the figure to reflect fees withdrawn and pull-out patrons who'd bail before collection.
Jackson Brooks
There's no way this strip is $2.15 a month to nearly 4000 people.
Brody Bell
I quit reading around the time of trannyfuck. I'd been reading it for the better part of a decade purely out of habit and routine, and after that incident it was like my eyes were open and I suddenly realised how shit the comic was and how shit it had been for a long time.
Then, a long time after I stopped reading QC, we left 4chan and came here. Then the QC threads began…and then the edits began…and before long, I was reading this shitty comic again. But now it was new and improved, with actual storylines, characters, and humour. Thanks for everything, you glorious faggots.

It's different for old sites that never changed (literally in the case of Drudge), for example image boards. But these new minimalist designs don't really grasp the utility value or institutionalization. It's just a cargo cult aesthetic.
Joseph Moore
At what point does predictability become some sort of avant garde artform?
Carter Jackson
Didn't he just the previous day (in-universe time, more like last year for us with how glacial this comic is) have an argument with his trannyfaggotbrother about being deliberately set up with girls in an awkward and embarrassing manner?
Boy, I sure do love character consistency.
Ryder James
Yeah. And since then some sort of minor argument over scheduling a tattoo appointment without his knowledge. Also
Isn't she like 2 years older?
What is with Clit's pose in panel 1? I realize Jeph couldn't figure out how to get all three of them into the panel and god forbid he not have four identically proportioned iPhone panels but it looks like he's being yanked off a Vaudeville stage.
Parker Jackson
What the fuck kind of weather must they be having for Claire to bundle up in a winter coat and mittens while Clinton only needs a hoodie? Also how cold does Clint's robo-hand get in winter anyway?
Well, stuff like experimenting with panel layouts would require Jeph to not be lazy. After all, why bother improving when you know your retarded fanbase will suck the shit directly out of you ass and beg for more?
Evan Torres
Is body heat retention affected by testosterone levels? Maybe Clinton's bulkier than Claire and Jeph's just too shit to represent it. Also to be fair that hoodie does look pretty thick. I have an insulated hoodie that's about half an inch thick and warmer than my actual winter jacket.
Xavier Rogers
At one point, we theorized that Jeph was paying into his own Paetron via a 3rd party account in order to make himself look better, but this was disproven when the great Paetron hack occurred.
Clit has the best faces nowadays.
His panels aren't identical, though. 2 and 4 are equally larger than 1 and 3 for no reason.
Higher testosterone usually results in a higher metabolism which means having more heat generation when it gets cold.
Ryan Sanders
Oh, you're right. I guess I was blinded by the bad artwork. I pick the one day with uneven panels to make this mistake. Curses.
Tyler Hernandez
When ever is clit's robot hand brought into mention, I'm wondering here. Like, seriously, I just looked at it and thought, "That could be a regular hand or just wearing plate gauntlets." It serves the story none, ever. on top of that, the character would be exactly the same in his daily life without it. Remember when guts tore his fucking arm off in the mouth of a demon to save casca and just got it replaced by a cool metal arm that served no other function than being a new limb? That was cool. And remember when big medic got his arm blown off in a helicopter accident and just replaced it with a normal prosthetic with no attachments ever? Oh wait, neither of those things happened, guts got a big canon arm and a crossbow attachment, and venom got a load of new installments to his arms that can be used in certain battle situations. He even makes a nikita missile arm and uses it to punch faggot kids from across the room. There's also scenes with both of them showing that they have problems with actually having no arm and the fact that their arms work at all is a small challenge. You do have to move on at some point, but guts has that robot arm for the whole story and big medic uses his attachments the whole game, and even if you choose not to, he uses his hand to click and draw attention instead of knocking. Fucking shit, there should be a little bit of a reason for things, your character doesn't need to be an edgy faggot about how he lost his hand, but it should work into the characterization at least a little bit.
Caleb Morris
Clinton having phantom limb breakdowns would be an interesting addition to the comic.
Christian Gray

Charles Walker
This has been a long-time complaint about Handstab and his comic - he's created this incredibly interesting setting and universe, yet somehow manages to never ever utilize it in an interesting manner while simultaneously filling it up with some of the most boring characters known to man. He never explores the universe in depth, never uses technology for interesting story-telling or how it affects peoples lives, and apart from that brief stint on board the space station, we never ever fucking leave Northampton and see the rest of this world which otherwise sounds genuinely interesting and different to ours.
Jeph is like the King Midas of BORING.
William Howard
Oh and before someone goes Fuck you. They may as well just be (really boring) niggers in a (really boring with no risk) fight club who have to deal with (really boring) racism, for all the technical depth and detail Jeph has put into them.
Thomas Hernandez
With all my knowlege of the comic from edits and actually reading a bit of it myself, you could replace the robots with magical whatever shit and it'd be the same; it just takes away any sense of danger from the world because robots can't be hurt fatally, so a fight club doesn't make for a threatening environment, and since the robot hand functions exactly how his old hand did, clit gets no development as far as that is concerned. It would have been equally interesting to explore THAT; you're in a world with basically no consequences because of bionics, so instead of being totally cool with it, they could have death cults surrounding the idea and people killing other people since they justify in their head that killing people means they will be reborn as cybermen. But FUCK that actual scifi horror shit, we gotta have 1300 comics chock full of what flavor of shit the tranny is slurping up today.
Ryder Howard
Let us also not forget that we never get to see the people who visit the fights who keep the robo fight club in business. Kind of like Coffee of Doom customers.
Grayson Wilson
Robot fight club can be easily kept in business by paid online translations and betting though.
Julian Reed
3292 comics at the time of this writing, to be precise.
William Long
This is a perfectly acceptable reason, but Handstab didn't bother to take a single panel to explain that, so I have to assume he's just being lazy.
Isaiah Mitchell
Well, yeah, it's Handel Stabbe after all.

Isaac Parker
It's a knife hand extension, isn't it?

I was taken aback when I first saw it. I couldn't believe that Jeph would frame his shots this well.
I mean, the art is still shit, but by god he put EFFORT into this page.
I wonder if he's feeling ill.
Jack Peterson
I'll bet $50 if I asked this chick her opinion on MGTOW she'd spaz out on me yet here she is basically goading men to abandon their biological and societal programming. Then I'd place another $50 on how quickly she'd turn into a demure, passive, mousy, tradcon wife when faced with such a reality.
Nolan Garcia
But, Rob, you'd have to first create the hate speech to copyright it. Is that a path you really want to go down? A path of niggers, faggots, and shemales?

QC is so much better when nobody's talking.
Noah King

Juan Thomas
you have to speak slowly in order for jeph to understand. so that's kind of like "first you start with the eyes".
pick up the knife, Jeph. pick up the knife.
Elijah Taylor
also, I'd really like to create a situation where Bishop's knife trick from Aliens plays out with QC characters, but the thought of digging through the archives for suitable parts to frankenstein together is unpleasant.
or if not the knife trick, someone straight-up holding another character's hand down on a table while wielding a knife over it, with the Jeph Jacques Special imminent.
Andrew Smith
also, any QC archive crawl is inevitably going to lead to something like this.
it would make for a great cut in a "PREVIOUSLY ON" segment on TV though.
Connor Peterson
Someone should pull a goatkcd and superimpose the meme Marten face onto every character in every strip.

jeph draws a lot of very stabbable hands, even if you're just going for palms-up when they recieve the sacrament of the blade.
Jace Gray
wtf That's not how normal people gesticulate at all. Try doing it, it's uncomfy as fuck to do.
Isaac Myers
he's probably trying to make it more dynamic/interesting. might be Halal, although I'd have to check a Draw With Jazza video to see.
what weirds me out is how often characters are doing the "consider this" thing while talking.
Gavin Bailey

Luis Gonzalez
When has this comic been a comedy of anything?
John Wilson
I feel the same way about the Manga/Amime fused fingers but people tell me that's the natural way. I think they're full of shit though. I have to expend quite a bit of effort to do this.
Bentley Harris
I always thought the fused fingers thing was kind of cute, but I can't really articulate why. I guess it looks sort of demure.
Landon Barnes
People telling me this is how people do it in real life when I ask bothers me far more than its existence in fiction.
David Taylor
That actually comes to me fairly naturally. I think it's a bit exaggerated in the chinese cartoons but otherwise it's similar to how my fingers naturally sit sometimes.
It's a lot more natural than Jeph's shitshow anyway.
Luke Nelson
Also hardcore weebs who are either totally unobservant or pretend this isn't a standard anime trope.
Andrew Rivera
I was going to agree, but then realized when I'm casually holding my hand up to wave the middle two fingers do tend to stick together a bit, though not to that degree.
Matthew Anderson
Yeah, that's some bullshit. Those two fingers move less in relation to each other than the rest, but they sure as hell don't stay locked together.
Kayden Gutierrez
I feel like the first two panels could be fused into one and it would be better. Also, Clint literally just mistook someone for Brun, so this "joke" is just a shittier rehash of yesterday's "joke".
Eli Brooks
AND THEN THEY FUCKED.
Jordan Thomas
This strip is confusing. Panel 3 makes it look like he knocked her down because he's looking downward and the camera angle is low. Then in panel 4 we see her standing (in an Escher perspective bizarre even for Jeph). Then in panel 5 they see eye to eye, with minimal height difference. Clit is a manlet
Is this yet another instance where Jeph finished the comic and then second guessed himself into a nonsensical edit? The perspective in panel 4 really suggests we she be looking at her on the ground. As it is she looks like she just came out of an 8-bit RPG.
Chase Richardson
we should be looking
James Smith
Christ, it just keeps going up. The more bland this thing gets, the more money Jeph makes.
Samuel James
Checked halfchan for the first time in a while. They're still posting this. It's funny, it's basically their pill goblin I think.
Luke Morales
I agree, it looks like she's staring at the top of a building while doing the limbo. She must be intended to be lying on the ground because Clint is looking down in the previous panel, but I guess Jeph doesn't know how to draw people lying down. Or falling down, or getting up, or walking, or moving at all. And all tha action would mean that Jeph would have to resize his canvas to fit more panels. And draw more. And he's probably tired. I know I would be.
Also I'd like to point out that this is another instance of tension being built and torn down literally within two strips. Gripping narrative.
Ian Ramirez
It's not like Clinton finding her hiding in an alley silently crying her eyes out due to being being overwhelmed by stress and then comforting her would have been any better, right? Jeph really dodged a literary bullet on this one.
Joseph Torres
I'd like someone to dance using all of those hand positions.

Jackson Diaz
Possibly the most infuriating thing is how Jeph could easily drag out plot lines and simultaneously make it more interesting but doesn't. Clinton could look for Brun, not find her, pretend he's doing it for concern, realize that she's made it this far in life and is probably fine, wants to see her anyway, and is now actively seeking to find her.
This could take weeks, but, no, instead we get Walking Simulator The Comic.
He can talk over his new perspective with Claire. And really someone else–the new "main" character seems to have popped into existence in his main 20s and therefore misses any sort of backstory such as the existence of friends. Hell, I'm barely aware of what he does as a job. He gathers survery info on AIs or something. Sounds like something for college interns that pays $100/week.
