Questionable Malcontent - Cheese Pizza Edition

Jeph really sucks at sci-fi/fantasy mechanics. The worst part is how he claims to sketch things out months in advance rather than just doing what he feels like on any particular day. That means this inconsistent shit is actually planned.

I thought about that, and it seems unresonable. I think he's just lying.

Every single thing he builds up to ends in an anti-climax.

He has systematically removed everything that could be cool about a futuristic spacecraft.

He found a way.

...

I just realized this shit
potential fucking dropped

"Uh, n-no way! It only seems I'm constantly writing my way into a corner and need hand waiving or deux ex machina to get myself out! Y-you see, this was all planned in advance!"

On first glance I thought the ship disappeared but looking again it looks like thrust with the "heat smearing" and the thread in the upper-right blowing back. I think Jeph thought the context would be obvious but realized it wasn't and added the "pop" instead of drawing something else, because, you know, he's making only $1,000 for this strip and you can't fix mistakes with that kind of budget.

Even if that was the plan, pop? FUCKING POP? You know what an engine sounds like?
VRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Dude calm down

In the future engines will pop.

It's supposed to go VWORP VWORP VWORP.

...

I've said it once and shall likely say it many more times, but I think this has to be the greatest example of Jeph trying his hardest to avoid any hard work, effort, drama or anything.

Fucking hell, he almost had some with his dead dyke but the pacing is so fucked up it's already forgotten even though it happened maybe 20 minutes ago, story time.

I could very much believe he gave this blue faggot these special powers as a last minute decision 'cause he realised he might have to develop the plot a bit more and draw more machinery as the characters went on a treasure hunt across this post-apocalyptic wilderness, looking for technological artifacts now guarded with religious reverence by an ignorant, scared populace.

But no, that would take effort. Just have this blue cunt magic everything better again so they never want for anything.

He really tries to avoid conflict, doesn't he?
That brown bitch, for example; she was willing to kill Alice as soon as she clapped eyes on her, she hated her so much. She even depleted most of her stockpile trying to do so.
All forgotten…
It never occurred to him that someone with such murderous intent might pocket a pistol and try to trick the furry into magicking it into something powerful enough to kill Alice?

Fuck, I'd make a better story with a more frequent schedule, for half the fucking money he's getting.

Cropping is wasting "artwork" so Jeph just doesn't do it.

And it's not like this thing has been running for years and any author would be struggling with ideas. There aren't even 200 strips in the thing! And it's been 2.5 years, plenty of time to think things through.

I get the feeling that Jeph knows this thing has flopped and is just going through the motions. For all we know this is the third act, leading up to the "exciting" conclusion. The whole point of the thing was getting Blue Marten back to the ship and it looks like we're getting that soon.

The only thing more embarrassing than this joke is the fact that 11 people retweeted it.

See guys? I'm cool and progressive because I don't watch sports! Especially those that are played by men, or worse, by manly men!

Jeph can no longer hide his power level.

Someone won a football game for EVIL.

I don't follow football, why is the Superbowl causing salt?

Well, have you seen the 4cc? Or rather, did you see the last one?

Patriots had a ludicrous comeback and won by almost a literal photo finish; Patriots are evil because muh deflation and >patriotism in [CURRENT YEAR]
They'd probably be the best people to get rid of Dobson though, now I think about it.

The Patriots QB, Coach and Owner are all long time friends and open supporters of Trump. Their team is also consistently the whitest team in the NFL. Then the Pats scored 25 unanswered points, forcing a tie and taking the super bowl into overtime, where they scored a touchdown.

Twitter is currently sperging about white supremacy.

Apparently Tom Brady had a MAGA hat and wouldn't denounce a friendship with Trump. So Jeph and crew all lined up on the side of Atlanta to crush the forces of evil. And they were dancing around cheering the huge Atlanta lead because they were on the Right Side of History.

And then they all got election night flashbacks.

And revenge is still on the schedule, looks like.

this is where the Blink begins.

Oh boy

I continually ask myself how these people are even able to function in meatspace.

Because God forbid we have anything resembling a recurring antagonist in this series.
Unless Faye and/or Dora count as antagonists to Marten.

Reality denying SJWs in a nutshell

Wouldn't the power jack make more sense on the lower half of the body of a 7 foot tall combat droid? Wouldn't that be where the batteries are anyway since no engineer would put the heaviest stuff on the top?

And how can such a thin wire carry the necessary current? It must take a month to charge. It should look identical to appliance wire. This is "hard sci-fi", and Jeph's fucking up stuff that already exists in the real world.

I watched the Super Bowl with my family because we do every year, and every year we each bet $5 on the result. Everyone was rooting for the Falcons because of muh Trump support, and I was rooting for the Patriots for the same reason.

All the way through the first half, they were talking shit because of the huge lead and about how nobody has ever won the Super Bowl after falling two touch downs behind.

I sat there laughing my ass of when we tied up the score, and they bitterly handed over the bet money when we won the first ever Super Bowl sudden death and became the first team to come from so far behind to win.

I have $20 of sweet victory money to celebrate with when I get home in a few days. What should I spend it on?

...

Meh.

The hell is a Topato anyway?

Just another part of the hipster human centipede then. No surprise.

If I buy that, I'll need you guys to help me do physical edits and/or point out critical art flaws so I can note them in pen. It ought to have some substance when I mail it back to Jeph.

...

I got 50 bucks myself. Could've gotten more, but I didn't wanna bet much because I honestly know nothing about football. Not even the rules.
What you should do is buy some anatomy books or something on color theory and mail it to him. See what he does.

So Menstro is parked right next to Faye's bed so it can hear and smell every fart throughout the night.

It's interesting that they're now considering cooperating with CopBot - that offer had already been extended and was turned down.

So Faye was a willing accomplice in an illegal operation, and Menstro knowingly impeded an ongoing investigation with no prompting from Pink at all.
I reckon that all they'd get from the cops now is a negotiation on a reduced sentence, but that would mean the characters have to deal with the likely consequences of their actions, so it'll never happen.

These are nice guy fantasy cops, not real world cops whose goal is to secure convictions.

Jeph's daily virtue signalling.

Some commenters who totally understand how language works.

So if no one retweets you is it considered just talking to the air? Like jeph is just talking to himself and sending these virtue signals out hoping someone will notice him
He's pathetic

This woman is clearly insane, and should be arrested.

So , guys. I've been rewatching Drawn Together lately, and I came across the suicide hotline episode. In it, there's this guy with no arms and no legs.

Guess what his name is.

Unfortunately, he has a base of ~15-30 reliable retweeters who enable this behavior. But, yeah. Somewhere deep inside he realizes the lefty bloc is fracturing and breaking down and he's doing this to remain on the inside. While he really has bought into this stuff, he also realizes his income depends on it. However, like everything the radical left does, this behavior serves to entrench only the true believers while chasing away the normies, evidence attached.

The irony is the thought process is more likely, "Let me quicky draw this square shape male hero and spend the rest of the night getting the curves on the women just right."

Of course if it were the opposite, then the same people would complain that the female characters aren't getting enough attention. It's a kafkatrap with no way out and yet another reason why attempting to appease these people is pointless.

It's funny how bewildered they are that so much effort is spent on visualization…in a visual medium. Jeph doesn't get it because he never learned how to draw properly and does everything to avoid showing anything complicated. His "tell not show" policy is a side effect of him not wanting to draw anything challenging.

You mentioned the suicide hotline?

LOL, did you make a Chrome identity just for this screenshot?

Don't forget it was also Trayvon Martin's birthday. A symbolic victory if ever there was one.

Without going into much detail, I kind of have to use all those. Answer the question.

It sounds like you're going for the "Mat" joke, but since this is the QC thread we're in I assume his name is Jeff or Jeph or Geoff, whatever new faggoty way they've come up with to spell that name.

Well, you would know Jeph

Jeffrey. Y'know, this played out a whole lot more funny in my head. But eh, I guess not all hand-disabled people called Jeff can be used to mock Jeph further.

It's alright, Jeph's enough of a joke in itself.

Come on, it's a tradition

Mah nigga

And if y'all would openly admit you don't really want equality, you just want superiority and privilege, the justification being your desire for vengeance against white folk, then racial discussions might actually progress somewhere.

pastebin.com/bXXiWcsj
It's a story about a pony prostitute

Why did I read this
Why is it in your bookmarks

What the fuck is this shit?

My guess is a writefag story from /mlp/ by someone with questionable comprehension of English composition.

I put it there some time ago, haven't actually bothered reading it. The premise was interesting enough.

jeph you nigger, I can't even say you're too stupid to see what's going on there because even a total retard can see it.

I want Tupac's ghost to shoot jeph in the hand. no, scratch that. aim for the mouth.

lol the bag of cash

Another Jeph strip, another plot development with the pacing of a retarded turtle. I like how he managed to save time by using gradients as a background by the way, he needn't trouble us with background detail when he just needs to get his plot out to us.

...

Apparenty it's 2017 and Jeph hasn't learned yet that gradients and 120 KB PNGs don't mixed and was forced to use JPEG. God knows why he doesn't just use JPEG for everything given that he still can't handle color reduction after 15 years.

WE DON'T KNOW WHY OR WHAT IS GOING ON BECAUSE
NOTHING
FUCKING
HAPPENED

Is that supposed to look like some type of action pose?
Because it looks more romantic than anything.

...

too easy

FFFFFFFFFFFFFUCK YOU user

...

I'm glad I waited to see if someone else would do it.

Oh god damnit

Good to see the hivemind is alive and well

kissmanga or kissanime as well

so he lost 200~ followers after a month, what about longer term?

Well I know what the OP pic is going to be for the next thread.

Well for some reason that site doesn't seem to have anything past the beginning of this year. Still there's a slow but steady downward trend. More interesting is his Patreon, which is ranked #20 and has been growing; the massive drop late last year was after backend changes to Patreon. 2016, with the current system, indicates he started making 7.3k a month and ended somewhere around 9k/mo (which is now up still since then). Velocity changes of note include a short lived but noticeable spike downward around April Fools, a sizable increase in base between the start of June and the end of October, and a month-long spike in funding around December that mysteriously vanished almost as soon as it appeared.

His Twitter Audit is ancient and could use a refresher, but I do not have an account with them and to be honest I have no desire to redress that. So that's someone else's problem.

Thank you for looking into it regardless, I merely wished to bring to attention that the original graph was only a month.
If I cared enough to look into Jeph's downspiral (outside of these threads) I'd also be posting charts and shit.

I'm the worst.

No problem. I think the Twitter situation is something to bear in mind as the year goes on though. At this pace he could drop below 80000 by the end of the year. That said he is making some money from it and somehow has picked up a lot of interest within the last 8 months, and I doubt it's just over Alice Grove. It could bear further research to see who this new audience is.

Neat.

By "growing" I assume you mean heading downward since Jeph used to be in the top 10 and was #13 as recently as a month or two ago. What is happening despite his increase is other content creators are growing faster and pushing Jeph down. Also, Grapheon's top list is based on number of patreons rather than payout so it's kinda bullshit. For example, #25 pulls $30k/month, but from fewer patrons so Grapheon thinks it's lesser for some reason.

Grapheon just started tracking Twitter subscribers. That's why there's barely any data.

Shiiieeet

...

Oh look, Claire's coming back.

Yeah, he could be referring to some other characters, but why would he?

If his income goes back up after an injection of tranny dick, then we'll have even more confirmation that his fanbase is shallow and only cares about their pronoun crusade.

aw, i'm not allowed to say 'nigger'? but i want to be allowed to say 'nigger'! why can't i say 'nigger'?!

Nigga, you can't use that word. Nigger is our word.

i don't understand how or why trannies have so much money to throw around, what with hormone therapy and multiple, multiple surgeries and then a length of rope long enough to hang themselves; i don't know how they can afford to keep these capitulating, genuflecting, self-flagellating artists fed and clothed on top of it all.

"Our" word? It belongs to the world!

Well, shucks, now ah can't see no problem with that there post, looks cleaner then mah suit on sunday. Y'all city slickers just ain't smart to the way us real folk talk, ah reckon

Once upon a time Faye had a southern accent and then everyone forgot she came from Georgia, including herself.

Sounds about right to me. Too bad for Jeph that he'll never find his way over there.

That's the closest Faye will ever look to fuckable. And Menstro didn't go for it.

Someone with a burner account please send this improved version to Jacques-itch.

Is this creature actually saying that "nigger" belonged to them in the first place and that white people STOLE IT from them?

If you move your mouse back and forth between the two post links above this sentence, it looks like Claire suddenly grows, adding a whole new level of fear to Corpse Bitch's question.

Speaking of, why are they culturally appropriating some girl from India for their flowchart?

Incredible… All Pink's schemes amount to barely a handbag full of notes.
Maybe a couple of thousand dollars?

Think big, Jeph. Think big…

I assume whoever made the chart was ass-blasted over hearing some Indian say nigger. That would account for the "person of color but not black" jelly button.

I really thought the next panel would show them kissing and we'd find out that they're in cahoots. Then I remembered that Jeph's a retard who can't write.

Pink simply *must* be punished for the illegal crimes!
Not the ones where it profiteers off desperate robots, but the one where it basically did as was requested.

I guess we'll never find out why Menstro suddenly gave a fuck about those memories that were so horrible that it wanted rid of them.
Jeph's told us - we don't need shown.

Fucking hell, the more I think about this the worse it gets!

An underground operation where robots beat each other into spare parts and twisted scrap, supposedly "consensual" but if they're desperate for a recharge they'll agree to *anything*, money changing hands between unknown, shadowy parties and the local authorities who would just *love* to bring it all crashing down and what do we get as a story…?

A fucking robot with buyer's remorse and its fat, narcissistic, parasitic shit-sack of a friend in the huff 'cause she got laid off.

This plot was almost unpredictable just because it was so bad. There was potential for skinny to do something elaborate but nothing came of it.
I did call it in the last thread I think, skinny just wanted an excuse to beat up pinky with no real explanation.

Jeph has the setup for a decent story right here, and all set in a universe with which the fans are already familiar and (somehow) have an avid interest in.

But he decided to do Alice-fucking-Grove.

I sincerely regret that Jeph's mother didn't abort him.

Right, I performed a redesign of Rokocop a few threads back and all I need do is develop my style a bit more.
I'm not that familiar with art software (I do have Manga Studio 5) but I think I could draw by hand, scan, then touch it up digitally.

Shall I do more of this to salvage what could have been a decent character?

Oh god.
He cant stop himself.
Its like watching Sinfest's descent. He just cant stop himself can he?

Instant interfaceing into mindscape. Expect the next 10 pages being filler of explaining how something that was just explained, works.

...

I'm not stupid, I got that part.
It's just never been explained why it's happening or what skinny is going to do because nothing really happened at all.

I think I would have been more impressed if even less happened.

Never mind this bullshit hacking, since Jeph's dead set on having Fagbot do something to Pink, I think it would have looked better if there was no smiling, no dialogue, just:

Pink packing money into a duffle bag (come on, Jeph… a handbag, really?).
Pink is aware it's no longer alone - Fagbot appears in shot over its shoulder, hands in pockets.
Pink goes for EM pistol.
Fagbot stands still, eyes flash briefly.
Pink is effectorized and collapses.
Fagbot steps over Pink and picks up a wad of notes from the bag.
Turns the notes over in its hand, looks down at Pink.
Drops the money and exits.

...

It's something he not only enjoys, but he's bookmarked it so he can return to it AGAIN AND AGAIN.

...

Well done

Also, that is truly the stuff of nightmares.

...

Might as well say La Casa De Los Dibujos

I was just surprised someone else didn't do it first.

Fun comic, that one.

Sick trips.

holy shit put a spoiler on this horror

Looks like porn for people who want to pretend to themselves they're not looking at porn.

I went to the URL and here are the first three images, including the site header.

Jeph's descent into homosexuality continues.

I did notice this; people who were giving Jeph cash seem to be doing the bare minimum in most cases, or close to it. Also I don't really analyze Patreon too often as I don't particularly like the service after all the trouble in caused here a few years back, and thus wouldn't support someone on it.

Jeph releases his own omit, apparently.

You forgot the "v".

Y'know, the biggest problem with Desire ever since he/she/it was introduced is that we're given no explanation why this apparently omnipotent godbot even gives a shit about Menstro in the first place.
It's almost like the entire resolution to this plotline is a poorly executed deus ex machina.

It's just Jeph playing out his violent revenge fantasies. He can't cope with The Oppressors walking around freely and not getting justly electrocuted in the real world, so he wraps up his storyline by torturing a simple bot trying to make her way in the universe.

So this whole thing is just a hard sci-fi punch a Nazi fantasy.

But CW isn't a Not-zee, she's a lawbreaking criminal.

I'm serious, this shit is giving me Sonichu flashbacks.

Aren't Faye and Bubbles technically accomplices to the crime too?

I could shit out a better story line than this, and I hate everything I write. It must be nice to not care about the quality of your work.

And yet, here you are, commenting on it.

...

...

The day after Jeph's wedding he'll tweet about letting a PoC consumate the bride.

Why won't this arc end?

Because once it ends, a worse one begins…

What a boring fuck.

Most people would conjure up some sort of elaborate torture equipment, possibly involving Pink being pulled apart with its limbs and head connected by just a couple of wires.
Or even impaled from every angle by a mass of spikes erupting from the ground.
Perhaps Pink could even manifest as a naked woman and Desire could demonstrate just how much control it has over Pink's sensations.

But, of course, Jeph thinks, "Hey… it can be anything. So, technically, I don't need to do anything at all!"

this is just disgusting, how many pages is he going to waste on this boring beatdown

Until he can't cum any more.

Again we have reference to this legendary "slavery" of Menstro.

And again he misses an opportunity for some interesting developments.
Could have had,

But instead,

Faye certainly is.

Cops warned her, offered assistance, she turned it down and kept working there.

Also damn. From skilled manipulative bitch to little beaten fucktoy. How to ruin a character in one week indeed. I wonder what magical literal ex machina will happen to save all the bots illegally making a living under her wing.

What sort of scream is that? Try saying it out loud.

>you have violated one of the very, very few moral principles to which we adhere
Very few? It never lies, it helps people in need, and now it doesn't exploit others. Apparently it also feels the need to impose its moral programming on everyone else. To me, it seems to be programmed by quite the moralist.

If CW confesses its crimes, Menstro and Fay would also be arrested.

CW pointed something out about robots and humans not being able to live together. That makes it a nazi.

Agreed. CW was the only character I sort of liked. It showed guile, long-term planning and smugness. The character was completely ruined because Jeph decided CW should get some comeuppance, and suddenly CW became too dumb to fight back even slightly. Even before that, however, CW's plans were extremely flawed, because Jeph was too stupid to write good ones, which sort of in and of itself ruined the character.

Is Corpse Witch the Mary of QC?

It's the sort of scream you get when you start out normally and then mash keys in the homerow.

Yes, please run Elizabeth Warren. It'll be like 1984 again when a literally brain dead Reagan was still able to take 48 states.

Er, 49 + DC.

I almost think so, but I fear we might not have intervened in time.

Still not sure, though. Suitbot is a completely blank slate, as far as it's purpose. It might be able to fill the role that Carla's contraption filled in DoA.

Just a guess here, but he might have added "Stray pone strut" as a joke, like people usually do with "other tabs" (see ).

What about Minnesota?

Should be

That was Mondale's home state. Winning on the home turf was the only thing that made it a 99% embarrassment rather than a 100% embarrassment.

And Reagan almost won that state, too.

Wow, less than 4,000.

Pretty close

Every time I think QC can't outdo itself it does.

This is why I keep coming back. It's so easy to read, there is always a shitty twist and I have no emotional investment in it being good.

Also, is it just me or was the art style way better back around the 1.5k mark?

Nah. CW wasnt misunderstood. She wasnt a bitch for the sake of a point.

CW was a terrible person, who had the small slice of world that belonged to her at her fingers, and ruled it with her steel fist. She kept the money coming, carefully kept bots in line, online, and get them to be grateful for being criminals.

She was an abuser. She was, actually, an effective villain where many manipulations could be spun from, as she made that clear by how she danced circles around the botcop.

And QC cant have that.

She wasn't even a terrible person up until the point we found about the kill switch.

It's as if he is trying to give us a reason to be happy for CW being punished because up to that point, she was in the right.

Idunno, she did gaslight alot. Recounting her own versions of how Faye and humans are as a way to make them seem worse than they are, kind of trying to keep Menstro away from her. Thing being, Menstro was on to how weird she could be so casually, naturally dismissive.

Thats not nice people behaviour.

Faye ruined Menstro's career.
She also introduced it to her hipster friends who pissed it off to the extent it was smashing things up.
And I see no reason to think that Desire wouldn't have shown up anyway, leading to the same conclusion that the memories were lost.

All Faye added to Menstro's existence was stress and emotional manipulation - it has just become an outlet for Faye's Munchausen by Proxy.

Pink was quite right to warn Menstro away from Faye; all she's done is show selfishness and emotional instability - she clearly doesn't care for anyone else unless they agree with her and accomodate her every whim with neither question nor expectation of repayment.

Faye is a stroppy parasite.
Menstro would have been better off with CopBot.

She wasn't "Nice" neither "Good". I mean, this is a world where robot civil rights are a thing, so theoretically she might have reason to mistrust humans.

And Faye is a shitstain whom literally got physical after: Stealing from the workplace and seeing someone attempt to protect her and her employees' livelihood by telling someone to be quiet.

Yeah, there is a strange "appeal" in this.

I think this pretty much any time I come across an older strip. Technically speaking, the art is often worse from a proportional or anatomy point of view but once upon a time there was at least some sort of passion in the incompetence.

Eh, I viewed her like the jaded nun who runs the orphanage. She's cold and nihilistic but does all the things a caretaker is required to do.

She was doing her best to keep Menstro from laying with a human jew.

And now I am hooked on pony whore greentexts. God. Dammit.

Eh, who the fuck cares anymore.

This reminds me of when Endtown brings in the magical human that solves all the narrative problems.

I'm done coming to these posts.

I can't. It's just so shit.

...

Literally deus ex machina sue.
Sue Ex Machina?
Desu Ex Machina?

what the fuck jeph

Reddit loves' this resolution.

Several people on the forum are triggered by the "torture scene". This guy actually complained to Jeph. I bet Jeph tells him to fuck off.

The hamster wheel in this guy's head mulls over the cognitive dissonance of reconciling Jeph's utter lack of writing skills being a positive thing.

kek

What, he couldn't find any American sources? Or is he worried that they'd be tainted by proxy because the US currently has a current president of the US?

I wonder if he actually would have merely "meh"'d at that page if it had been written four months ago or if it would have been just as triggering.

He's probably been triggered since Bush.

THIS IS LOSS

I'm guessing Suitbot doesn't really like Jeremy either.

So robot fighting is actually legal? They just did it illegally to avoid taxes or something?

I bet Jeph stabs his own hand.

You can't really just walk into a place and give it to someone. Unless you're Andrew Jackson I guess Mary Suebot is so powerful she can bend hundreds of years of private property law.

It's amazing how the entire premise of this "arc" that's been going on since 2015, over 400 strips, can collapse yet somehow that's not the biggest problem with it.

Also, why is copbot wearing socks? For what possible reason does a droid need fucking socks?

We're not even sure why it's illegal; all we can guess is the gambling is the illegal part.
Remember, it's so above-board and transparent that CopBot could just walk in, Pink explains it's all consensual, and that was the end of the investigation.

Because lol, socks are funny and hipsters like knitting, etc.
CopBot could have been tinkering with its hand-mounted shock probe projectors or polishing one of its eyes or something vaguely robotic, but most of Jeph's robots are just humans with a weird colour palette.

For what possible reason does a droid need any clothing at all?

I mean come on, despite our lewd and delightful fantasies, I imagine they're all smooth as a barbie doll under those pants, like menstro.

Could argue that for a copbot it's to make people more comfortable around it and it looks more part of the team.

But knitting? That's just gay.

Perhaps Copbot could seduce Menstro away from Faye.

I hope they have one of these or they're going to get nowhere

I would argue that clothing is easier to clean and replace than chassis plates in addition to being a cheap way of blending in to society.

Jeph probably just doesn't want people to see exactly how bad his anatomy is, so he hides it with clothing.

So they can inform people when it's not there anymore.

(it's been a boring night and I couldn't think up any other edit)

This is the best thing ever

Oh great, Jeph's groupies have found their way to us.

Yep, this is straight-up Sonichu-tier.

I have never seen a USB Type A to Type A cable before.

Easier to draw than robot toes. Remember, don't think logically, think lazily.

Hey, fuck you, m80, knitting is great.

It's ironic that his Tumblr sketches are less lazy than the final product.

when desire isn't in the room everyone should be asking where's desire

I have one. It's completely and utterly useless except to cut in half so I can attach other shit, but even that's not really useful because I haven't had any reason to do so yet.

You only ever use it to move files between computers, but that can usually be accomplished via shared folders.

The best use I've ever seen is to use it for lag-free pvp in computer games.

it's not ironic

it's downright predictable.

It's hard to believe USB would offer less lag than Ethernet, which is sub 1ms level.

Bet you thought this arc was over.

When the fuck did they get in a police station, fuck you Jeph.

This is so disjointed.

We jumped to Desire doing an entire night's work in four panels and now we're suddenly in…the police station? Her house? We don't even know. We also don't know why Fatty and Menstro are forgiven for the crimes that Roko is fully aware of. Or why she even called them in if they have nothing to do with the ongoing investigation.

What the fuck.

>pick pick pick

...

He's already established that AI can exist in appliances. All he needs is to pull the knife out of his hand to make a touching romance between one who has a humanoid chassis and one that's stuck washing clothes all day.

It's ironic like rain on your wedding day

Whatever happened to baggyfag?

The same thing that happened to editfag prime. They were too good for this world, and ascended to a higher plane of existance.

y a y

So they're not going to be arrested? Didn't CW give out her acomplices in order to get a lighter sentence? If not, CW didn't follow Suitbot's instructions to confess everything.

Baggy had to go. His home planet needed him.

So after TWO FUCKING DAYS is Jeph going to get back to Clit and IPP? Or are they in the annals of forgotten characters and plotlines now?

"Good news. Some random asshole I've never seen before appeared in my apartment and gave me a binder full of shit it called 'evidence'. This happened just a few hours ago.
Of course, I'm believing it 100% and not investigating its validity at all."

And Pink didn't need to confess anything whatsoever about Faye - CopBot already knew all about her involvement.

Also:
Trapped by what, was it? A rock?
A big rock which can be found in any high street, apparently.
A regular human could have escaped that can - further evidence that Jeph's robots are fucking terrible.

Furthermore:
Has Faye suddenly turned into a boy or something?

Finally:
That's a nice glass of nothing they've got on the table, there.
Not even blue/white with reduced opacity.

Transparency fucks with encoding 8-bit PNGs and we can't have that. Not in 2017.

When did the garbage can incident happen? I don't remember it.

If I was CopBot, I would correctly assume, under the circumstances, that Corpse Witch was threatened or reprogrammed to confess and that her confession could not be taken at face value.

I guess he didn't see the point in adding a whole new layer just for the sake of a glass of water.

That's far too much like hard work!

Of course, if he really feels that way he could have just drawn a white, paper cup. But hey, what do I know? I'm not like, a professional artist or nothing.

Wouldn't they only have paper/polystyrene cups anyway?
A nasty criminal might feel like smashing a glass vessel in a cop's face, or something.

Honestly, I like how even copbot is tired of all this shit.

Apparently, this page was supposed to convey the idea of "she trapped her in a garbage can".

Wait a minute….

Trapped by another can balanced precariously on top?
That has so little weight behind it that it's still wobbling after being placed there?

For a can to do that it would have to be almost completely empty.

So, CopBot doesn't have the strength to lift a garbage can that can't weigh any more than a couple of kilos?

And anyway, apparently this trapped state lasted all of 5 seconds.
Does Jeph even read his own comic?

No, she took the trash can CopBot was in and put it on top of the other trash can. So when they got up it would fall. Which really wouldn't do much.

I thought that, myself but the perspective is kinda fucked up so made it difficult to tell, so I wasn't sure.

It made so little sense that I gave him the benefit of the doubt but, looking at the stains on the ground relative to the cans, it looks like this is indeed the case.

So, Menstro made CopBot fall over…
Wow… That'll teach it a lesson it won't soon forget :/

I suppose that means that Menstro "trapped" it simply by putting the lid back on.

Should have stabbed its hand.

Fixed

there has got to be a jeph-hand in front of a dark background to make this idea work better but I'm feeling kind of lazy. (jeph is a bad influence)

Why won't it end? :'(

Next Monday, Copbot will probably be hanging out at the coffee shop interrogating Menstro's chair for clues.

...

someone tried to make him draw jeph fucking shelby

Can't help you with the dark background.

I think Jeph may have meant to show the trashcan lid as being pinched but being a poor artist that wasn't communicated. Still, we're talking about a quarter inch of aluminum or something. A regular human could break out of that. If a droid can't equal the strength of a typical teenager, then what's the purpose of these things? Why would they be allowed into law enforcement if they will be weaker than every single criminal they come across?

Thanks, Jeph. I don't know what I'd do were I deprived of this exciting plot line.

Now I wonder which nostalgic fat hipster would fit this profile?

But… but the PATREON!

Surely there must be a way to trigger him into cutting his own dick off.
The chance that some fat fangirl out there might actually invite him to fuck her, and he somehow manages to get it up rather than passing out from embarassment, and then somehow manages not to ejaculate before getting within 3ft of her, and possibly continuing his genetic lineage and spreading this dizzying level of stupidity and self-loathing, is too hideous to risk.

Why is he like this?

Because PoCs are fucking his wife.

Jeph don't talk about yourself like that

He was divorced by his husband a while back, though, wasn't he?

To be fair, the last comic we had with Faye & Menstro involved them talking about going to the cops, presumably the next day. Hence that comic strip.

I thought "Corpse Witch" was the fan name for her, and/or perhaps another character's derogatory nickname for her. Shouldn't the cop be using her actual name? Seems rather unprofessional, or did I miss something and that's the actual real name?

This entire "arc" has been one deus ex after another.

I remember these. That second one was fun to edit.

Apparently he convinced the Canadian to take half his money. Somehow she's still getting the bad half of the deal.

Jeph named the bot Corpse Witch as a "joke" that wasn't at all communicated as a "joke". Him claiming the fans named it is a retcon against The Word of God.

This storyline has been going since 2015?

He's spent a full YEAR on robot fights and now he wants to spend only the barest of breaks before getting back to it?

This shit wrapped around from late 2014 with Faye's sudden alcoholism.

Huh, how could I have forgotten this.

Please, please, tell me that's an edit, and he didn't really use that material from the other comic.

Admit it, you'd have just a bit more respect for him if he did.

I know I would

...

I remember reading these here and now I miss editfag prime

Jesus Christ.

Wat

Jeph is nearing his 40s, ain't he? He really is an old man trying to still be "hip" and "with it".

Still, though. He has fewer responsibilities than the average high schooler and spends all day on the Internet. He should be doing better than this.

Jeph needs to get a job in a goddamn factory, even for just a few weeks. Learn what normal people have to do for a fucking living.

I've seen this before, but could someone explain it to me? What are the black panels supposed to represent? Faye's lack of vision? If so, and if she can't see, how can she punch Martin?

Faye flashing in and out of consciousness. Apparently she's too weak to remain awake for more than a few seconds at a time, but she has more than enough energy in her to punch her boyfriend friend hapless boy pet in his girly face.

She's fading in and out. That's why Marten suddenly swaps with paramedics and then she's seemingly teleported to the emergency room. It'd have greater effect were QC more grounded in continuous time rather than jumping around all the time anyway.

Don't forget that Facebook is pretty low on the trickle-down meme order. By the time something goes stale here, it's just becoming popular for his people.

Next week Jeph discovers Chocolate Rain and Over 9000.

This one actually makes me hate Faye more than ever, and that's no mean feat.

Getting drunk doesn't make you a completely different person; it lowers your inhibitions. That's why people are more likely to spill the beans or let slip something that's supposed to be secret while they're drunk.

Overall, it shows what you truly think.

So here we have Faye being rescued by Marten. Most drunken roommates in that situation would be repeating over and over again how sorry/scared they are, but Faye's desire to abuse is so strong that she decides to attack Marten even though he's helping.

I know Jeph intended it to be "lol! Drunks R funny!" but it just shows Faye for the massive cunt that she really is.
She deserved much more than she received; should have been kicked out on her arse into the street.

Is this yet another accidental insight into his private life - that abusive women are something to be excused and accepted?
I'd be willing to be that the only action he got from his ugly ex was her fucking him up the ass with a strap-on while jerking him off onto Shelby's face, making him say he loves it through the tides of tears.

It's all good and well seeing how the common people live but as long as he has that Patreon and money isn't a worry, he'll never truly understand what it's like to be one of the common people.

He'll never know what it is to work a shitty job all week long while desperately trying to budget your money but still being stuck making the decision between affording food or being late on your car payments for the week.

He'll never know what it's like to watch libtards tell him that identity politics nonsense is the real issue of the day while simultaneously being told that his own problems are irrelevant and not really problems, even though they seem pretty damn real and relevant to him but no one seems to care.

He'll never know what it's like to be told that in fact, he has privilege, he has it better than everyone else, simply because of the color of his skin, despite the fact he spends most nights going to bed hungry while listening to his equally privileged neighbors have yet another screaming match through the paper thin walls of his two-room apartment.

He'll never know. And yet he and all his ilk will always feel quite ready and prepared to get upon their pulpits and preach to us all about what they think they know, from their positions of comfort and privilege. And I will forever hate and despise them for it.

There's a song I haven't thought about in a while. I would bet money on it being one of Jeph's favorites and not realizing the irony.

Oh, P.S. he and others like him are still shell shocked by Trump. They have no idea why the common people have stopped listening to the bleating from the ivory towers.

You forgot to mention the aches and pains that accumulate after being on your feet over the course of an 80 hour work week at a minimum wage job that goes in split shifts and doesn't know what weekends are.

Of having to respond to every dinner or movie invitation with "Sorry, I have to sleep" because everything will go to shit if you don't get your five hours every night.

Of working all that time without a break and then having the owner come down on you because your performance is starting to slip and then getting fired because he decided that getting 80% as much money with unpaid student interns will give him a better profit margin than having me do a good job for pay.

Good thing I have my white male cis privileges to keep me going.

Does Jeph have a Fiancé? Is he a litteral faggot? Has Canuck science finally made him into a real girl? Does anyone want him?

I'm envisioning mountie Stroheim except instead of a badass cyborg he's an unconvincing drag queen with a frankengina.

Speaking of Jeph discovering things five years after the fact…

Daily virtue signalling.

Tolerant liberalism strikes again.

No probs, Jeph. You've already slowed down by 67%. What's a little more? It's not like you're getting paid thousands of dollars or anything. Hey, wait, don't you brag daily about the status of your long buffer? What happened with that?

to be fair what kind of idiot calls a slant a slant to their face? they all know karate.

TOP

here's how he will save his ass, and dubs will guide the way, his buffer is just drawn up, but he only writes the words in after he already drew the pictures, meaning he's even more retarded or wants us to think he's doing extra work to be more retarded.

Mondale real president, I don't accept Ronnie Raygun, he will not devise us.

OK I'm done shitposting now but apparently Jeph isn't. Holy shit.

That was only the pop vote for Minnesota, not the entire USA

...

New thread when?

How fucking new are you. We ride this to the bottom of the catalog.

If it were today, they'd complain anyway. "Yeah Reagan took the entire country minus 13 votes but 40% of us voted for Mondale! #notmypresident #wewillriseup #blacklivesmatter"

To be fair, the oldfags remember this this being rebooted at exactly 300 and then being squashed by the BO who requested we wait to page 3 or 4. Once the thread became established, everyone silently agreed to ride it to the end. Humorously this didn't get rid of all the complaints because now people bitch when the thread is rebooted on a weekend with no new upstream content. Well, it's either that or have two threads in the catalog at the same time with more front page prominence, take your pick.

Jeph was like "no more robots" and then BAM more robots.

Also thanks for yet another panel-splitting tanget in panel 5, Jeph.

Haha, lol, I was so disoriented I added a panel that wasn't there.

Hey Truthseeker

It's like he wants to be bad at his job.

They never end. I guarantee you that we'll be treated to another tangent tomorrow.

What the hell kind of insult is that? What's wrong with pepboys/shopping there/putting things on layaway?
My dad is in his sixties and makes better zingers than jeph
Christ what a trainwreck

Well this was a big waste of time. Lets get back autistic bartenders and trannies and memory holed characters haha more robots.

Stabbing shoplifters and battered wives have a lot in common.

Ok, that's it, Jeph reads these threads!

How DID paleface know about the mental subversion?

If the gambling has finished, how will the fighters be paid? Will they be kicked out on the street? Corpsewitch implied that they didn't have any other employment options.

Where did the glass of nothing go?

Investors.

Or maybe it will be legal open gambling instead of illegal secret gambling. I dunno, I thought there was some reason for this fight ring to be kept hush-hush other than Bossbot wanting to evade taxes.

You can't pay salaries off of an initial investment.

There MUST be. I mean, why go through all that trouble?

The documentation was drafted by an omnipotent robot. Also, Jeph is writing this. All sorts of nonsensical financial magick is on the table.

Botcop is just close to being the sane one, but not quite there.

Clearly, because she likes to show off lame symbolism on camera.

So saying "turn yourself into the police or I will torture you for all eternity" is not mental subersion?

Also, their case against CW is paper thin. It's just an unverified binder handed to her by a third party, plus a confession under duress. I hope she walks.

Remember, it's Jeph. There is a sort of violence that is bad and icky and there is another sort which is worthy of cheers and applause, depending solely on who it's done against. Same applies to mental subversion. Doing it against the protagonists is evil. Doing it against the designated villain is something that Copbot also conveniently choose to ignore because they had it coming.

So, Corpse Witch's illegal robot-fighting ring was so fucking cheap, efficient, and profitable that it was actively outcompeting and shutting down all of its legal competitors. It's fucking incomprehensible that such a large operation (run out of a garage, by the way) could not attract the attention of law enforcement.

This so means that either CW is a miraculous business genius, or, more likely, the government interference is completely crushing business with regulation and taxes. Perhaps Jeph was a free market libertarian all along. Perhaps this is all satire, and he is demonstrating how oppressive and inefficient the state in a SJW utopia would be.

You also can't pay 8 peoples' salaries from a coffee shop that never has any customers, but somehow that works in this universe.

That sums it up. We're getting business stuff from a guy who's worked about 40 weeks in an entry level, temp type job. Yeah, I'm sure he's set up his QC holding company as a proper LLC or sole proprietorship, but that's not the same thing as getting a business loan and managing employees and an industrial building.

Well, if it's customer base is made of the same 20 people that have been coming here for years, I could see those masochistic cucks sweating with arousal at the thought of paying $50 for a cup of coffee. It's part of the abuse play that Dora has going on with her rather niche S&M crowd.

Oh, so they did teleport. But there's also thrust. Things make so much sense in this hard sci-fi universe.

And, seriously, this layup strip is what he procrastinated on? This exciting, action packed totally not filler strip is what couldn't be added to the "buffer"?

And someone explain the vacuum suits to me. Is the ship not pressurized? If so, how can they be talking in space? Why is there artificial gravity yet no life support? Are the suits for just in case there's a hull breach? What are they supposed to do in the vacuum of space? Gradually die over the course of 72 hours? Or is it that the ship cannot block cosmic rays and other radiation? If so, why does this thing suck more than than what we already have (or almost have)?

God Jeph's jokes are so bad. I can't believe people retweet this awful shit.

Note the punchline — the punchline is simply an anti-climax. This might work once or twice, but when the punchline is an anti-climax in pretty much every single strip, it just becomes boring.

That's not even the right answer. It should be: "One, but he'll have a ruff time"

It'd work great were Jeph known for intense and intricate plot developments. Simply telling a spaceship to take the crew to a destination would be a tension relieving contrast to the previous space battles or escaping the space volcano or whatever.

But, yeah, all effect is lost in a universe where apathetic writer's whim carries the characters forward. Note that most of the characters don't even know what they're doing or why. Bill Gates is making them go somewhere for…some reason. Even his henchman probably doesn't know. He's a mute, mindless goon. Great dramatic tension here.

Actually, in this case it's: "One, but she'll hang herself afterwards due to years of sexual abuse"

Holy shit, they're flying a jew nose…

It looks kinda like a mobius toilet seat to me.

Sorry, Jeph, no amount of "reading comprehension" can save either of these terrible nonsensical story lines you have going on. Even your hardcore forum fans are complaining.

...

Wow, so the message really is, "I have no idea what I'm doing. At this point I'm basically writing by the seat of my pants."?

That's a tempting offer there Jeph

...

...

(heiled)

So when are Nazi uniforms going to become a fashion trend? At least half of America is Nazis, after all.

You thought you were being sarcastic, but these dubs decree that 50% of America is, in fact, made up of nazis.

literally marking time

This is fantastic.

...

I am continually amazed at how bad Jeph is at this despite having fifteen years experience.

I'm pretty sure a caveman could be an okay artist if he spent 15 years doing it. You have to work hard at not giving a shit to keep this level of quality up.

...

Cavemen were pretty good artists actually. Pic related, Chauvet Cave. At least 30,000 years old.

They had better sense of depth than Jeph does now before the idea of depth of field was invented.

Once again, a life that Faye has touched has turned to shit.

Can Faye spend FIVE MOTHERFUCKING SECONDS WITHOUT BEING AN OBNOXIOUS CUNT?

There was nothing worth clipping, but I checked the forum a day or two ago and people were talking about how mature and adult Faye was. She's a thoroughly unattractive and badly aging lesbian lookalike who can't hold down a minimum wage job and can't survive on her own. She has no career prospects and her window to land a sugar daddy is all but closed.

I wonder who this is. Also, I'm quite sure Jeph understands parody and fair use, which makes this a false takedown, which is a felony.

It's amusing how progressives go out of their way to create as many enemies as possible. Regardless of how you feel about MGTOW, denigrating them just creates yet another adversary when previously they'd probably just leave you alone.

This is why Trump was elected and why they're losing the culture war in general. A bunch of people who would normally have nothing to do with each other are uniting around a common cause.

You see the progressives acknowledge this but they still can't see it even when it's right in front of their faces. Instead they write articles in bewilderment that say things like, "When did gaming, Twitter, and YouTube become a haven for alt-right conservative MGTOW MRA metal music purist board game clutching islamophobe misogynists?"

Well, it's when you people targeted all of those people. They noticed they weren't alone, compared notes, and decided to band together against you.

>he sent a takedown notice to Holla Forums
Has no one responded with edits to that tweet? Where's Twitter Bully when you need him?

MGTOWflakes is kinda funny

Why is there all this fucking dithering? Isn't he aware that 24-bit color is normal now (32 if you toss on alpha channel) and it's only going up? That it's no longer 1998 we all at least have a Pentium 4/Athlon and usually much much better even in bombed out third-world shitholes? Its like he makes all this money but still can't give a fuck to upgrade from his ancient copy of Paint Shop Pro.

They think that if they "win" they'll just throw everyone they don't like in camps or shoot them or something despite being the biggest pussies on the planet.

Jeph has some weird rule that if an image exceeds 180 KB or thereabouts he makes it into a JPEG. Otherwise it's an 8-bit PNG. Well, why not just make them all into JPEGs and avoid this problem? Or, generate an optimized 24-bit PNG that's barely larger than the JPEG and free of artifacts? Or at the very least, get a properly functioning posterizer. There are some good ones that can handle even photographic images. Line art and simple gradients are a piece of cake by comparison.

I'm not sure what would be going on at Shitty MGTOW Site Of Doom, but that's mainly because the lasagna's done.

How redpilled is Jeph going to be when his fortunes fall, his 2nd wife immediately leaves him, and all his virtue signalling e-friends are suddenly nowhere to be found?

he'll just blame Trump.

This. When a fanatic is confronted with irrefutable proof that their beliefs are incorrect, they double down on the denial.

Wow, it really does just get worse and worse. It's a sight to behold. At least Jeph broke down and used JPEG so that the hologram doesn't look like measles.

STOP

ENHANCE

…THE DOGS

I just realised those are pods and not a reflective closet. Self-indulgent indeed.
Someone's gotta draw that orgy eventually

Huh, never knew this existed.

isitfunnytoday.com/

Of course I voted no.

I am disappointed that Webcomics Review broaches the subject of magical negro before Holla Forums.

Anyone know what the edit was?

Get on my level.

I'm oddly okay with this.

Huh, I ask how Deus ex Machina knew a thing and it's explained in the next comic. Jeph DOES read these threads

Is it just me, or is that last panel the most computerlike AI interaction we've ever seen? Other AIs have done computery things, but a hive of robots attached to one mind seems like an actual step forward from his usual brand of computer science.

I'm going to guess that they're all separate intelligences that started out the same.

I suspect Jeph believes that this, here, is the absolute pinnacle of his writing ability.
He's reaching for those dizzying heights of blandness.

He'd be jerking off right now if he didn't think it was sexist to do so.

I guess he's been reading some Ian M. Banks recently and liked the idea of an Orbital Mind whose processing power is high enough that it can occupy different avatar bodies to interact with its residents.

That would explain the sudden, unexplained leap in AI capability.

We see it more as a mary Sue, or Deus Ex machina. Aaron marx comes off as a more classic Magical Negro.

or something terrible happens when an AI interacts with the incomprehensible powers from beyond human understanding, who have R'në among their Earthly representatives. Ia, ia!

I bet we'll never see it again, except for more Deus ex Machina reasons.

...

I had completely forgotten R'në was a character.

Step it up, lads. I used spaces in the name, which isn't allowed, so the entire thing was removed and I had to retype it. At least I got a chance to improve the text.

Well done, user. Anyone who hasn't done this already should do so.

Not that Jeph probably ever leaves his hugbox to read these things, but it'll probably trigger some of his groupies.

Also much matted, you filthy piece of shit. Brush your dog every once in awhile, Jeph.

I could do this all day.

It's truly frightening how well we've learned to speak Social Justice Warrior.

It isn't hard when they're impossible to strawman.

They really are, aren't they?

To think, all those years I spent going to university to get a degree in Engineering, a few years of experience to make a decent wage…

When if I just made friends with Jeph on [email protected]/* */ and printed out some t-shirts saying "I do not like Donald Trump" and "Punch Nazis! Right, fellahs?" I could have made a fucking fortune off these mouth-breathing cretins.

Every time I think they might have been strawmanned they hasten to twitter to assure everybody that, why yes, in fact they do believe communism is a good idea and that all men oppress all women and that white people need to be genocided.

Whatever happened with that scathing Email that someone sent to Jeph a while back? Did he ever respond?

Jeph's got you covered.

Jesus Christ. Gavin McInnes interviews his retarded younger brother and finally gets to appear smart.

Gavin McInnes is a hipster kike, but still enjoyable to watch SJWs get btfo.

wow, poop jokes

...

Ah, Jeph…you moronic, drooling, piece of shit dog-rapist.

To be fair, it must be very hard to groom a dog when her coat is crusted down with semen

One hour and a lot of clicking later…
PRAISE KEK

This is the most autistic thing I've done since converting TDKR into 86 separate webms and posting it all on /bane/.

KEK helps those who perturb others.

The growth of QC.

This arc will never end. This is what QC is about now.

QC mouths.

...

...

It's okay user, Jeph did too.

s-sauce?

That should be a rule of edits, now - any involving the coffee bint must have that face!

Quick attempt:

I did it better for you.

Jeph's daily virtue signalling retweeting.

I can't believe these people think the Wall Street Journal is winning the fight vs. PewDiePie.

I also can't believe that these people can't see that PewDiePie is one of them and it's in their best interest to rally around him. PewDiePie is some guy on the internet who built his own content creation business outside the mainstream publishing industries. Jeph and everyone he retweets is in the same boat. Can none of them really envision a scenario where one of them gets big enough to become the enemy merely by getting too large and relevant? Do they really think Hollywood, book publishers, etc. would welcome them with open arms and no hostiliy just because they retweet the right opinions?

I also also can't believe how eager all these "down with the 1% of the 1%" people are to do free shilling for megacorps. It's almost like their entire belief system is built on hot air.

You see, when you're incapable of processing irony, it seems perfectly reasonable to blindly accept "Anti-establishment" rhetoric fed to you by the establishment.

You'd think, though, that's they'd pause, just for a second, and realize, I'm shilling for the Wall Street Journal. The Wall Street Journal.

These same people, just a few years ago, bloviated on and on about Occupy Wall Street and everything related to it, including the WSJ. Now WSJ dindu. It boggles the mind.

Their thought process is a dog chasing cars. PewDiePie made a Jew joke so he's the bad guy and damn everything else.

So…what happened with PewdiePie? I saw a news blip, but I ignored it because Eceleb drama is cringey.

WSJ sent a team of "journalists" to scour a year's worth of videos to get enough Hitler joke footage to paint him as an anti-semite. Then WSJ called Disney directly and basically threatened them to include their name in the coverage if they didn't pull their funding of PewDiePie.

So they get two articles out of this: PDP is a neo-Nazi and Disney is so offended that they pull funding.

Then all the other outlets reblog WSJ and it's like GameJournoPros all over again.

They hate PDP because he's a) just some dude and not some corrupt political entity, b) he's survived multiple rounds of previous hit pieces against him so they need to ramp things up, and c) these outlets are dying, visibly, week to week–it's plainly visible in the metrics.

So, in a desperate bid to stay relevant, they collected every piece of dirt they could find in order to make a handful of mud to sling at him?

I don't suppose this is could be a stunt to increase public awareness of PewdiePie, could it?

One thing mainstream media has kinda sorta picked up on is the reverse-kafkatrap memetics employed by Trump and really pioneered by clickbait "journalism". If this works out for PewDiePie, the same sources will accuse him of staging negative hype for self-gain, the same as these people claiming that Milo Yiannopoulos staged his own riot, even though we've identified these people as Berkeley faculty members.

Here's a decent take on it.

I see he's still got a crush on Chelsea Whittaker Van Valkenberg.

I can't wait until we go back and find out that Marten is pregnant with Claire's child.

...

...

Jeph forgot he wasn't shooting overhead in panel 4 and didn't resize Faye's head.

Er, panel 5. Also, I guess Menstro is Rocky now.

These walk-and-talk panels are getting routine.

You know, Jeph went way out of his way to establish that Corpse Witch installed malignant programs into her mind, why not take it one step further and introduce the idea that Menstro used to have blackouts for hours at a time where Corpse Witch piloted her like a drone to get illicit shit done?

That sort of thing seems way more villainous than the "She did exactly what I wanted but I don't like it" story we have now.

The forum would think it was 2edgy4them and BenRG would post 10,000 word essays on Menstro's non-existent ethical dilemma.

Jeph's written himself into a corner trying to reconcile gag-a-day with grimdark or psychological horror or whatever the fuck he's going for. I think it's an utter trainwreck and fun to watch like MST3K but then I look at his Patreon and what the fuck do I know?

It's hard to believe it's possible to get even more jumbled and nonsensical than a shitty anime but here's QC.

Perhaps the Magical AI Agent will come down later and turn Menstro into a trans-human.

Sure, why not. Characters that aren't human but struggle with human emotions and concepts are always beloved in their series. Why not do it here?

Jeph already fucked up QC's Dr Soong by making him a total clown so unless he rewrites the character we can't get any tender "why am I here dad?" moments.

Yet all we've seen, so far, is Pink being the intimidating one while Menstro just stands there, doing absolutely nothing.

I think this is Jeph doing damage control and trying to paint Pink as really awful and evil after the fact.

"Hear that, readers? This fictional character was never subjected to the horrors of loss-of-agency or having her denied consent forcibly overridden. Trigger status: comfortably low and fluffy!"

...

Honestly, I'm feeling more and more sorry for Corpse witch as this goes on.

*operate on its brain

If Jeph could actually write, she'd be lying and a future arc would reveal some amazing shit.

But Jeph can't write.

I bet it was more like, a plot device to avoidf him trying to elaborate on her past.

Or, more likely, to stop QC from keep veering towards becoming Alice Grove.

Potato head and Tumblr nose art styles have merged.

Honestly I'm shocked Jeph bought something that does't cost $5,000.

Looks like someone doesn't know what goth means.

Wow, they managed to create something even less appealing than the sum of its parts.

Honestly, it could work, but there are a few red flags.

The biggest is that they specified "Art School" instead of just college. This means that there won't be any non social challenge presented by the setting. It probably won't be anything more than a location for the multicultural cast to gather regularly.

The second big one is the quirky love interest that reeks of lolrandumb humor. That kind of humor is very low energy and often detracts from the setting as a whole.

How gauche

...

Ugh, you're probably right. At least this one isn't another redhead.

what is it with people with mediocre drawing skills and boring writing getting into positions where they can profit from being bad at something

The ticksheet only has a couple of boxes for artisitic ability and composition.
All the rest are for minorities, sexualities, memes, fat people, tough grrls etc, et-fucking-c.

Get most of them, and artistic skills aren't even tertiary - the progessive circle jerk will be jizzing dollars all over the fucking place.

Not on my fucking watch.

it's a fuckin space tree

thats a nutsack

It has no roots.

Part of the aesthetic of impossibly huge trees is the immense root system. Without roots, it's just a fuckhuge broccoli. On top of that, how is he going to explain those green leaves in his "hard scifi" if the space tree has neither atmosphere nor roots?

I swear to Kek, if he's going to fuck with the World Tree mythos in his fucking dogshit comic I'm going to have an aneurysm from sheer rage.

You can do great things with space trees. Natural space elevators, immense vertical ecosystems, interstellar seeds…

But that would be hard, so instead, just make a regular tree larger, put it in space, and remove the roots because why would a tree that doesn't reach the ground have roots?

I'm sure there was a big, space tree or something in one of the Culture novels by Ian M Banks.

He's been reading these lately and ripping ideas from them, I'm sure of it.
This here, coupled with the sudden AI tech jump in QC with his hub Mind plus avatars.

Be inspired, sure, but lifting shit directly from the source of influence? Nah.

(checked)
And by "these", you mean the Wikipedia plot summaries?

And use them as CPUs for wooden starships.

That sounds fucking awesome. What's that from?

The original edition of Tenchi Muyo.

The good ol' days when they didn't filter the lip smacking

Also this entire series is incest

It's like Gen Zed X Gorillaz rip-off from 10 years ago.

Remember how we were cutting away from the robot shit?

So what purpose does this robot serve if it has no functional limbs?

It's Jeph.

Holy shit Herr Hitler, could you be any more ableist?! If you were anywhere near me right now I would get my gender-nonconforming asexual life partner to punch your Nazi butt.

We did, almost. claimed a bunch of one-offs to check in on other characters and then right back to robot times.

In we checked in on Hannelore and Station.
In we checked in on Hannelore and Dora.

So I guess that was enough of that.

I just realised that even those are just reactions to the robot ark, and both contain robots.

So both Menstro and Copbot are well aware of that there are AIs like this one, but station, with all the knowledge it must have, isn't?

I feel that's false advertising. "Checking in on other characters" implies we're getting a glimpse of what they're up to, not a grand tour of pointless hellos from the characters we're supposed to be getting away from and ruminating over information the audience already knows. As far as I'm concerned, this doesn't remotely count as "getting away from robot stuff".

Not that I really care to see anything else. I just think it's stupid that Jeph went out of his way to post something like that and not really follow through. Jeph can't even nail down a summary of the next five comics he's supposedly already drawn. He's such a bad storyteller he can't even narrate his already completed workflow.

Twitter exodus abated?

That's why I say he's currently on story damage control.

I don't doubt he actually reads this topic and takes note of the glaring mistakes and plot holes, so he's trying desperately to close them and worm his way out of the corner he's written himself into.

His main issue right now seems to be trying to paint Pink in a negative light after she never actually did anything wrong, and he stated that everything at the fight club was perfectly consensual and above-board, to the extent that the fucking cops could actually barge in only to be passively escorted away, empty-handed.

As he adds more shit to the Robot Fight fiasco after the fact, I can't help but wonder what he'll do with Faye.
I know he'll likely do nothing at all, and she'll just waltz back in Marten's flat, passive-aggressively force him to leave, and get even fatter as she stuff her face with pizzas from somebody else's paycheque.

Any normal human may have some self-reflection to do, and maybe even a few restless nights, after defending the practices of what's turning out to be an AI rape den.

So Jeremy is using CW's cash (that it knows was illegally gained) to improve itself…doesn't that mean he's an accomplice after the fact or something?

And wouldn't the robot parts be impounded too?

At the very least it's theft.

It's part of the deus ex machina package. Copbot is informed who is good and who is bad, and the good robots are going to have their accomplice status conveniently forgiven and to have the bad robot's surplus cash conveniently not impounded and left behind for the good robots to take. And thus Justice is meted out.

Fucking hell, I *really* need to do that CopBot spin-off.

This here could be an ending - CopBot knows who the crooks are, knows the money and parts are all ill-gotten gains and the tax man's mouth is watering.
It knows who all the willing accomplices were and would just *love* to take them down, maybe even putting a few Neodymium magnetic-cored rounds into Menstro's head…

But no.
Orders from head office suggest otherwise. Orders CopBot is compelled to obey.

Why bother with welding shit onto what appears to be an articulating arm for use in a factory? If you can't scrap together a better chasis with all those spare parts then those parts are useless and Faye really could have prevented all this with $5 out of pocket.

This is why you never put SJWs in charge. What they call "justice" is cronyism. It's even worse than "right wing" cronyism in that corrupt businessmen and community leaders are well aware they're giving favoritism to friends and family. The Marxist left actually thinks they're doing the world a favor by bailing out their morally reprehensible friends.

Congratulations to the talk shows with legitimate hosts.

Opinions on Milo and the accuracy of this narrative notwithstanding, it's amusing how these people never accept apologies or changing of mind. With them, you must get it "right" the first time and never waver. And they can't see why they're losing societal control. Nearly everybody would rather hang around flawed people who admit mistakes than these neo-Puritans.

Didn't Jeph make a rape joke early on in QC though? What are these guys opinion on that?

The patronizing level is off the charts in this "trans-inclusive workplace training workshop".

Cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy. They give Jeph a pass because he has something of (progressive) value: QC. Were Jeph just some Twitter poster or someone long associted with "the other side" then he'd be shunned as well.

So, presumably you'd be perfectly within your rights to say you identify as the CEO of the company and demand your 6-figure paycheque early.

He must NEVER be allowed to forget this.

It's the leftist way - dredge their history and find the dirt.

What if being transgender or whatever, in fact, does not bestow omniscience? What if they're full of shit and need to be called out?

...

Very creative, Jeph. Like everything else you do, congratulations on being a year or more behind.

...

...

Just two more tweets to add to the pile of those that have already DESTROYED him over the years , albeit without much useful or visible effect.

The anti-Trump stuff depresses the hell out of me. The media is not even trying to hide their intentions, anymore, and at least half the normals keep right on eating their shit and calling it ice cream.

Questionable Claptent

>machines on the receiving end of deus ex machina

This displeases me, but does not surprise me.

One of these days, when I can get someone in to help me finally achieve some sort of opsec, I'm going to make an insane strawman SJW comic and steal all of Jeph's fans… and then I'm going to start subtly introducing tiny particles of redpill. If I can do it just right, they'll never even suspect what's happening until the day they realize they're in line to buy their kid a Trump Youth uniform.

Ah, Jeph…Freud was wrong about a lot of things, but he had your kind's number.

Daily reminder that Oni Press is the Sodom of comic book companies.

tl;dr - Bend over backwards for them while they act like drama queens and use yourself as a human shield when their bitch mouths write checks their bitch asses can't cash.

danker than dank, I have no chance to survive, gentlemen

Jesus, I had no idea Dr Doom was so redpilled

Oh great, yet another character who's gotten more retarded over time.

God, fuck these people.

What's a dog's least favorite activity?

Rape at the perforated hands of Jeph.

See now there's a joke.

He's trying to turn Iraqi Peppermint Patti into Hanners 2.0.

...

He hasn't written her for several months so he's forgotten what her character is meant to be like.

Jeph is a hack. Jeph is a big fat disgrace.

Guess that means Jeph should feel the repercussions of the rape joke from 13 years ago that he tried to cover up.

I'm pretty sure Freedom of Speech DOES mean Freedom from Consequences. That's sort of the point, is it not? I think what Jeph is trying to communicate is the lesser-known "Talk shit, get hit," which somehow has not happened to him, no matter how much he's begging for it.

...

Ironically, "free speech liberals" over the course of 40-50 years have turned into "free speech means the government can't hit or shoot you but anyone else can but only if you're 'right-wing'."

I'm eagerly awaiting "punching nazis" to become a "free speech" issue.

They didn't turn into anything. Leftists never cared about free speech.

...

Hahaha! How quirky!

I see Jeph finds inspiration in real life.

Punching nazis is common sense speech control.

Sad!

...

...

I don't know why, but I'm STILL always surprised how shitty most people's taste in things can be. Then I see the shit on TLC and A&E and realize that Jeph's fans are made up of the same huge amount of worthless humanity that made Twilight a roaring success.

It's funny because this is like the 3rd time in recent history someone has said, "I bet Reddit/forum is saying X" and they actually are when I go check.

I still can't get over "Braun."

This one always makes me smile.

It's not hard to predict their reactions to things. These are the same kind of people that Scott Adams makes fun of because they get engrossed in how big the words are instead of realizing that the sentence means nothing.

Yeah, it's always been one of my favorites.

Serenity now… insanity later.
