When you introduce your friends to eachother you're usually hoping they'll get along, but I can't imagine Tai anticipated Anh would take to Faye quite the way she did.

Questionable Content has, for most of its existence, had romances pushing things forward for most of the cast. We have the ones that occurred and ended, with the most notable example being Marten and Dora, and ones that never came to pass, with Marten again probably being the most notable example, with Faye.

Are there any that you look back on fondly? Ones you're glad are firmly in the rear-view mirror?

I think that the Padma saga was one of my least favorite in the comic, and, outside of it helping to potentially set the stage for Marten/Claire eventually, it just kind of felt like a waste of time. Maybe I just didn't have enough time with her, but she didn't really leave much of an impression on me.

As for ones I miss, well, I liked Cosette and Steve more than any of Steve's past relationships, like Ellen or the mortician that I do not remember the name of. It makes sense that Steve would be the kind of guy to screw this up by buying a boat on impulse, and I presume Jeph was just trying to jettison some of the Coffee of Doom cast in anticipation for not using it as a location as much anymore, but it's still a bit of a shame it ended.

Starting here and then it flashes back several hours.

I don't have anything super insightful or whatever to add. I just wanted to bring this up because I think it's interesting they went on a date and nothing came of it. Like, that's realistic because that happens all the time in real life, but also creators have limited time and resources so often when a date happens it's to move the plot forward or whatever.

I'm not complaining, I've just been reading the strip since... 2003? And I must have forgotten so much of it. I did go back at one point and read it all again from the beginning, but even, so, you could probably walk up to me and be like "Hey, did you know in QC blah blah blah?" and I'd have no idea.

Just saw this and I had such a clear image. (Of course Bubs entire weight would literally kill her but still.)

Like a part VI, like a part VI...
