>that nose ring
>>77358742
lol did that fatso fag really give it a nose ring
holy shit that's actually flubber's self insert character and he wants to be a pretty girl because everyone hates him as a man, god damn
>>77358742
>same book the science teacher in katawa shoujo makes you read
>he knows
>he's watching
>it's not a coincidence
>tfw I am totally convinced he showed Claire reading a specific book because I called him out on the genericness of saying both she and he only claim to like books instead of listing any in particular
>tfw jeph senpai notices me and actually improves, even though he thinks he's spiting me somehow, because of my criticism
I'm basically the Gadfly of Webcomickers, you guys. And you said I'd never win.
>>77358873
Do people who like books read a brief history of time
>>77358742
im waiting for a the pigeon to be edited into a rooster and pitsize asking claire about cock removal. id do it myself but i dont get paid enough.
>>77358873
sometimes I worry, weeaboo avatar anon.
i think perhaps you protest too much
>>77358909
Not usually, unless you're like a science buff, but Jeph is an idiot, and has her reading a book by a known smart person so she, and by extension he, look smart.
>>77358742
Wasn't there a whole thing in a past strip about AI abuse? When Marten took Pintsize to Marigold to get him repaired, it kind of came up.
Just seems like Faye crossed a line here.
>>77358922
Eh, not really. I do generally think Jacques is the opposite of an artist.
Not because his art's bad, which it is, but rather because he lacks any kind of artistic, or authorial for that matter, drive.
He's totally okay with phoning it in.
I see thing like this, and think to myself, "Hmm, there exist great works of art like this, and people are okay with Questionable Content."
That makes me sad.
>>77358769
yeah, pretty much
My hope is that sometime this month there will be new Handy Jay's comic pages.
>>77358742
>Claire reading a Brief History of Time
This is so fucking pretentious.
>>77359184
Anna Karenina would be pretentious
A Brief History of Time is just fucking lazy dumb, she may as well be reading a thesaurus
>>77359226
this desu senpai
I've heard Brief History of Time is pretty readable
>>77359226
>Anna Karenina would be pretentious
None of Jeph's readerbase would know what that even is. Stephen Hawking's most famous book I wager at least most people have heard of, and thus Claire can look all smart for reading Babby's First Pop Physics book.
>>77359240
It is, but it's not exactly a book you'd read casually.
The only reason it's used here is that we know Claire is a super good book reader who's smart and reads books by smart people unlike you, who read QC!
SHE HAS CHARACTER, YOU IDIOTS. STOP ASKING PERFECTLY LOGICAL QUESTIONS LIKE, "What kind of books does Claire like? She says she's a book lover, but never mentions any books."
>>77359273
>None of Jeph's readerbase would know what that even is
Which is a shame, because a book where the protagonist throws herself in front of a train is just the ticket for this comic's audience
>>77359320
I don't have a hate on, i'm just a passer by, but it seems like an attempt? Like he's starting to show what she likes
>>77359345
People don't like populist science books though.
>>77359345
It's not the worst thing about the comic by any stretch, it's just insanely dumb
It's like showing your character is strong by having them curl 500 pounds because you've never worked out and you have no idea how much weight that is or what curling is
>>77359345
Yeah, but it shows just how lazy he is. He went for the most obvious smart person book he could think of.
It's one step below having her just reading a text book.
It's like, I get that this is better than not trying, but it's just so shallow that I can't see it as anything other than a halfassed attempt to shut the readers up for daring to ask what kind of books the girl who's only character trait is liking books likes.
I mean, come on.
>>77359473
>Really, of all the things, that one broke the camel's back?
It's the only thing in this comic worth talking about
It's the hitler killed six million jews and one clown joke come to life
>>77359499
No, I actually though one of my posts got baleted, but it showed up again.
It was weird.
The Hacks is real
>>77358742
What does SMIF stand for?
>>77359775
Jeff's clever writing.
SMIF=Smith's college for Lesbians
Anyone else read the note below the comic?
>Special guest appearance by City Face
What do you suppose the chances are Tom Siddell follows QC?
>>77359413
If it were obscure it would pretentious. That's the kind of shit people read because people themselves are shallow and read popular books.
City Face what the fuck are you doing.
>>77359819
Pretty okayish, I guess.
I like to think Tom Siddell is above liking QC, but I can't deny that Tom owes a lot of his early recognition to Jeph, who gave GC a shoutout back in the day.
It hurts me deeply to admit that someone I hate on a visceral level is instrumental in advancing the career of one of the few people in this field I'd consider a true artist.
You did 1 (one) thing right, Hacques.
I guess that justifies your 10k a month.
>>77359873
It's the kind of shit you'd see on someone's bookshelf who tells you about the paleo diet at a party and if you questioned him about it he'd tell you that it's pretty interesting despite never actually reading it
>>77359873
I'm not saying it's pretentious.
I'm calling it a grasp for low hanging fruit. It's a reference for redditors and idiots who think science is a joke and that John Green the Meme Queen is a real historian.
>>77360001
>John Green the Meme Queen is a real historian
>"The Persian empire didn't have slaves"
>anyone watches anything past that exact moment
>>77360001
>John Green the Meme Queen
Who?
>>77360072
The main voice of History for our nation's retarded youth
>>77360095
WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GIF I SWEAR TO GOD THERE WAS NO SPOOPY GHOST BEFORE
>>77360154
Ghost Banri is the source of all misery.
>>77360208
Why is she trying to make something out of sand so close to the surf?
Has this bitch never heard of a bucket?
>>77360256
Such is his will.
edit with no tran plox

hey fuck you

Shemale I'd Fuck
>>77360572
Someone make a fake angry tumblr post accusing Hacks of transmisygony. We could get him to stab.
>>77360537
Nothing is sacred.
God is a lie.
You will die, and I will laugh
>>77358742
Why the fuck does Claire need to a character that exists in this comic?
serious question.
Does anyone here actually like QC?
>>77360857
They'll do anything to spite me, so yes.
Being 4chan Jesus is hard, you guys
>>77358909
I like books but I don't think I'd go out of my way to read it. People have different taste, though, so I guess it's possible. It doesn't strike me as something a literature fan would be into, though.
>>77359324
I'm kind of disappointed I read that spoiler. It wasn't high up on my list of books to read, but a movie version comes to Netflix in a few weeks and I was going to watch it.
>>77361397
sorry for spoiling a 130 year old book I didn't even think about it
>>77358909
>>77359184
I've dealt with enough tumblr/Dr.Who fans to recognize exactly what it is. Pop science is one of the ways the "modern progressive" signifies that she's believing the "right thing."
It's reddit-tier "I 'believe' in science because church is stupid" bullshit.
>>77358909
It's not fiction, it's pop-science. There's nothing wrong with the book, it's just THE book for obnoxious asshats who think Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson are the world's greatest scientists.
>>77361395
Is this an edit?
>>77361814
Yes.
>>77361564
The speech bubble should be coming from the bird, I feel.
>>77361522
well at least they fucking read it, and they at least get introduced in a minor way to astrophysics/cosmology.
I work in the field and the amount of ignorance outside of it is just astronomical, so i'm glad the tumblr faggots at least read something instead of YA novels
>>77358742
I'm mostly annoyed that since Jacques introduced his token tranny character, it has dominated the strip's content.
>>77359775
Shaking my head immediately, family.
>>77359940
>I guess that justifies your 10k a month.
Nothing he does could ever possibly justify that amount of money going into his poket every thirty days.
>>77359078
>tumblr nose
I can't possibly carry all these keks.
>>77362871
>implying they actually read that shit
You greatly overestimate Tumblr.
>>77358873
Congratulations, you got him to write the title of the sort of book people buy to decorate their shelf with into the comic.
>>77359320
And if she talks about books often you would complain that it was the only aspect of her character
>>77362871
I'm pretty sure 90% of the books people buy are shelf dressing, to show that they're hip and up with the current trends. Books today are furniture.
>>77363448
>And if she talks about books often
Oh boy look at this dumb faggot who has nothing in between often and never at all
>>77363448
>And if she talks about books often you would complain that it was the only aspect of her character
How dare you, /co/ is impartial and unbiased and does not hate out of meme but out of love.
>>77363490
I yet have to meet somebody who cared to read it. The closest I got was when the drunk dad of a friend of ours brought it out during a birthday party and we all talked about the universe while under the influence.
It's that sort of book.
>>77362118
same t b h
>>77358909
Neither people who are into literature nor people who are into science would be very likely to have that book in their hands
>>77363448
That already is the only facet of her character, you retard.
The difference is, that if you actually went into it, it'd be more than nothing at all.
As of right now Claire has one character trait and one outstanding physical trait
>Likes books
>Is trans
Liking books is just a nothing appellation when the most Hacques does with it is say, "Claire likes books, because she wants to be a librarian. Librarians like books, so she likes books. She works in the library and likes books because I added her to the cast through the Library. She likes books you know."
If you actually said what kind of books she liked, that one trait would actually mean something instead of just being a trait that's applied to her.
She would develop tastes; we could learn what inspired her to be a librarian, and we could get to know her a little better. A lot from a little, as opposed to nothing but a title.
You have to use your brain more than not at all.
>>77362871
>at least they fucking read it
>implying the people who buy it can even read
Does anyone have the fanart of the robot reaching into that faggot's crotch and saying 'plug in device detected'?
