Directember: Nice
🕑 Added 2024-12-05 02:33:26 +0000 UTCYou know, I never did return to the “Faye is building Pintsize a big metal dick and balls” plot point. I should probably address that eventually. Or let it sit on the back burner for another 8 years, only for it to become a critically important plot device in 2032-era QC. Will QC still be going in 2032? Will civilization?
I like Faye's short hair here. I was also drawing her a lot thiccer back then. I should go back to that. It's cute. So far I have done very little drawing on this break, but I'm slowly learning what it's like to draw just for fun instead of because it's my job. Pretty neat!

Pintsize probably keeps it in a glass case with a little mallet and a sign saying BREAK IF YOU GET LUCKY. Oh, and on permanent USB charge, just in case.
Ian MacLean
Still having the DNS issue with the web page. It's there any summary of what the issue is and why it's taking so long to fix?

Probably only one of several reasons.

I AM LOVING these extended commentaries on old strips!!! Jeph's long overdue vacation is turning out AMAZING for this old school fan!!!! Thank you for all the awesome comics
James Lomele
You know we met an AI boat and when Clair asked what it was for he said he wanted to fuck a boat do you think that's why he can't go to Canada anymore
Mikey Bear
My favorite part of this arc is when Pintsize hands Bubbles the money and she says, "This money is 𝙙𝙖𝙢𝙥 😨"
Duncan
Should have been titled Dicktember amirite
Rohan Graetz
I don't know if I should be proud or ashamed for remembering that, either way cheers Bookie
Naufragous Kat
As a formerly-thin and now moderately-thicc AFAB person who has been reading this strip since the beginning (WHAT) ... I was in the in-between stage and adjusting to my no-longer-skinny frame as your art developed, and I recall very much appreciating the “aerodynamically curvaceous” Faye, and how you never seemed to play her body type as in any way a negative. Representation!
Stephen Wells
She and Bubbles do a lot of strenuous work together. Also they run a robot repair shop.
KA Cruise
I didn’t have a Gen Z or Alpha reference available at the time.
Yelling Bird
One or two strips actually showed it. It was of ridiculous proportions.
David Pipes
"Tuck it in"... Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Hurr hurr hurr.
legobil
Or the butt rocket.
Clifton Royston
Makes sense, that's why the existence of "landing strips."
Clifton Royston
Pintsize was banned because his dick didn't pass the Canadian electrical safety and radio emission standards, and is also banned from Japan, South Korea, and most EU countries for the same reason.
Claudia D.
Wait,wait. SOME a of us are jonesing for the Little Roboduck that imprints on Pintsize. That idea was too good to lose!
Clifton Royston
@Melissa Well now I do. @legobil A song by King Missile, back in uhhhh... 1992; I guess that's an oldie now.
Clifton Royston
I know I've seen it mentioned in the comments here before; the readership has been thinking about Pintsize's missing steel dick and coming up with various theories ever since this strip.
Mirage the Fennec
That's it, dicks are now "landing gear."
KA Cruise
Well, he has a new body now. I think Bubbles should find the box with it and go “WTH??” To Faye. Then there’s the plot point of him learning to tuck it in.
Captain Button
It is roaming around free, like the jet powered roomba.
Captain Button
When she first returns to Coffee Of Doom, Dora noted how buff she has gotten.
Technoir
and she getting that sweet sweet AI lovin' on the regular w Bubs.
Joshua
Obviously it’s either deployable or it’s a usb attachment
Matt Pedone
That was my assumption, too (and, I really thought she mentioned it at some point).
Hugh Eckert
It's up but awfully slow for me...
Hugh Eckert
It's up but awfully slow for me...
Halloween Jack
I am fully in favor of a revelation that Pintsize ordered his NuJunk in a bright shade of blue, and after a mishap involving an address mistake by the place that was doing the final anodizing on the equipment, it ended up as being the sex toy that appeared in the Watchmen TV series.
Hugh Eckert
It's up but awfully slow for me...
Michael Steamweed
Truly, one of the all-time outstanding contributions to webcomicdom. (or is that 'webcomicsub'? ain't sure.)
Nick frost
i may be overthinking it but in my mind Fayes dimensions changed because she stopped drinking and started doing physical labor
William Cole
Chekhov's Dong.
Aerin Moriarty
Yeah I'm digging this so much
Aerin Moriarty
Thank you for that, you reminded me I haven't re-read GWS in a hot minute 🥰
BookBeard
Just showing up every once in a while, slightly modified each time, always taking up that one workbench. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3502
BookBeard
It was indeed "cumbarge". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2348
Mark
A thiccer Faye but with her current face would be nice.
BookBeard
Or would he just wear it as a hat? https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5073
BookBeard
They CAN be, but Pintsize's isn't. He does have a conveniently placed USB port for attaching accessories though. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4685
Michael
Given. What you’ve been doing for your posts, I wouldn’t mind Directember extending into Journaluary.
Joseph Loder
I had completely forgotten this was a thing, seems like you did too! Now that he has a 'real body' tho I'm not sure it matters as much any more. I'd assume AI bodies are anatomically correct or at least CAN be anatomically correct.
legobil
That went over my head. The reference, not the detachable penis.
Melissa Wilson
Anyone else have “Detachable Penis” playing in their head right now? 😝
Melissa Wilson
So, to clarify… He’s *definitely* going to need to have it tailored to his new bod. Healthy average just won’t do. He requires a truly colossal shock-and-awe inducing apparatus.
Kith penDragon
Hopefully you chose to draw for a job *because* at some point you were having fun with it. I'm sorry you lost that fun for a while, and I'm glad you're finding it again!
Boots McGoot
There she is! look i know Faye was never your favourite, but reading QC in my late teens / early 20s as i became more and more Fayeshaped was so beneficial for my self image. Now aspiring to her current buff status. x
Dean Reilly
Plus, she's quit drinking.
legobil
I’m sure there is an… Adapter available to resolve any… connection issues. A USB dongle for his metal dong.
enchantedsleeper
Did you know Jeph is on vaca-
enchantedsleeper
Well, *now* he has a charge port there, but previously he would have. Although I think it would take a lot of soldering to get that to hold.
Stephen Wells
He said he was going to f*** a tugboat, so it returns to the plot when he is caught in flagrante with Ol' Boaty!
Pejo
I remember the debut of buff butch Faye! I didn't realize she'd left. Also, QC web site appears to be down rn
Nick
Lmao I completely forgot that. Yeah it was something like cumbarge or cumsock. I. Don't honestly remember
Pete
Teamed up with Floating Slab Emitting a Faint Hum, Invisible Emu, Fairy With Reindeer, and Flying Roomba Family.

Aerin Moriarty
I joke with a friend that I've been reading this long enough to remember before the Thiccening of Faye (tm)
Aerin Moriarty
Drawing for fun!? Sooooo... butts? 🥰
Miyaa
Speaking of which, I really want to know if French speakers really hate French as the Canadians speak it.
Miyaa
Yes, but that makes it more interesting.
legobil
If it isn’t attached, what do you think Pintsize will do with it? I’ll tell you what he is going to do with it. He will attach it. To his groin. I don’t even think he’s gonna conceal it. 🙃🙃🙃
Matthias Urlichs
I prefer to think that she gets more *ahem* exercise these days. Great motivator for healthier living too.
SpookyPenguin
Can't have too many dick jokes
Opus the Poet
It seems like Otto Korrect "corrected" your dick.
Opus the Poet
Otto Korrect strikes again!
Opus the Poet
Just going to say Faye has been on the poverty diet for a while now and lost some body fat, so of course she's not as thicc.
Gary Burke
who says it's attached still? would you put it past him to just keep it in a drawer somewhere?
Mitsuki Ayane
lol that feel when the first strip was posted and I realized I'd been reading this comic for over 2 decades. ~<3
Mitsuki Ayane
nice... nice. ~<3
Rohan Graetz
Excuse you, her name is Harriet you cumbarge (I think that's the insult she threw at Yelling Bird when her name came up, apologies if I just called you a cumbarge for no reason)
legobil
Also, would Faye really dare give Pintsize a giant metal dildo now that he is in a humanoid body?
legobil
8 years ago?! Oh god.
FuzzyDragon Cosplay
And there's a hole in the bottom of the box, it has escaped and gone to rampage through the city.
FuzzyDragon Cosplay
Lol, no it was a bit of self censorship. But a robo-duck running around would be hilarious too.
Lisa
I was in "giggling about a big metal dick" mode and was not mentally prepared for "Will civilization [still be going in 2032]?" Fair question, though.
Minzoku Bokumetsu
I wouldn't put it past Pintsize to have requested that functionality
Mad Marie
The owner's manual is only in English, so it can't be imported to Canada.
Mad Marie
"So Faye: I haven't heard anything about that commission you were doing for me. Did you forget about it?" "Oh don't worry, Pintsize. It's so friggin good, it's still coming."
Green
When I checked the other day it was up and running, so hopefully it's just a blip that'll get fixed soon!
Green
The Faye who works at Union Robotics fixing up iconic Robot Gladiators like Punchbot and Seven is Actually a robot that the Real Faye built as a decoy right before she went into hiding.
Green
I'm guessing that "duck" may have been a typo but I do like the idea of a duck imprinting on Pintsize and Pintsize taking on the responsibility of being a Duck Mama to a level of uncharacteristic seriousness and dedication.
Green
That's where the time jump should start from after the break. Straight to the day Faye has finally completed the job, right to the moment where it is about to be unveiled for the first time for the whole world to see.
FuzzyDragon Cosplay
It would be hilarious if Martin goes to open a box he hadn't gotten to yet, and pintsize's duck pops up out of the box and hids in the apartment like a rat.
Carl G Knoblock
And everything is air droppable, at least once.
Carl G Knoblock
That reminds me of conversations many years ago about mouse balls. That was before the infrared revolution.
Melissa Wilson
Niiiice!
Melissa Wilson
NIIIIIIIICE!
Melissa Wilson
Just like everything is disposable, if you can get it into a dumpster! 🤣
Melissa Wilson
I’m sure it was absurdly oversized to begin with, so it’s merely a healthy average size for his more human-standard self now. I have already thought WAY too much about this. …I’m just discovering I may have a latent crush on Pintsize…
Carl G Knoblock
I get the errors sometimes, and other times it loads. just fine. Using left and right arrows to move through pages will work for a few pages and then it will fail.
Czarzhan
Maybe Pintsize is looking to get the genitalia installed on his current chassis. Propriety (a curse he seems to have acquired with his new body) may suggest making it retractable, like landing gear.
WinglessRayven
Nice
Captain Button
The dick comes up for sale on eBay as the classic work of the legendary artist Faye, who mysteriously vanished in the coverup of the Illegal Robot Gladiator Scandal. Since she is presumed dead, it is much more valuable.
Sleepy John
Someone's home, anyway.
Blake
Pintsize's Robot Dick was hilarious, wish it would have been a thing. Side note, did you take the QC website down during your break? All of a sudden starting on Dec 1, I am getting Cloudfare 522 errors where it can't connect to the Host server.
kaitou
Jeph is drawing for fun? OMG, he's entered the "Lar Zone"!
Sean Kinlin
Pintsize yearns for the day he can take his balls and go home.
Miyaa
The duck would look ridiculous on chibi-Pintsize but would be very tiny on modern-day Pintsize. He also would have problems pronouncing ducks as well as tijubasas.
Sean Kinlin

Faye in that second panel is so hot and cool looking, I love that pose and her expression. God I just love her. She's a delight.
Ursus Ridens
Me, I have been waiting for Teh Further Adventures of Bembo and Sexula. E.g., episode 37 -- "Bembo abandons the siege of Glargopolis because of the capital gains tax implications of looting the temple. Sexula eats cereal."
Steve McSheffrey
For some reason this reminds me of what I had expected when Pintsize to happen when he upgraded to a more human appearing body. I thought he'd get into some hysterical sex hijinks and jokes culminating with a truly appalling (drum roll) hijinks that resulted in every higher power imaginable returning him to his classic form with very legal restrictions against him ever seeing any kind of upgrade ever again.
Ursus Ridens
It will? Clank?
Yelling Bird
So will the dick need to be tailored to Pintsize's new body? That'd be another $69 AND a way of having it disappear for a few more years.
Ursus Ridens
For me, It's taking forever to load but it's coming through.
Rachel Maeroff
This is when Faye and I had the same hair
Simon Green
Anything's compatible if you try, er, hard enough.
Simon Green
Just put it on a shelf in the background in one comic set in the workshop with a sign above it saying 'unpaid' or something like that. Nice and subtle.
Kevin McCarthy
Honestly, I prefer this version of Pintsize. The human-analog of Pintsize is just, I dunno, meh.
Anthony Sammons
Pintsize probably will have to extra again to pay for the adaptor to his new body.
Diptych
Not because it's obscene, but because it's not compatible with local outlets.
Doc Gumby
No one can resist... The Funny Sex Number! Muahahahaha!
William Cole
Don't worry Jeph, the readers won't let you forget Pintsize's Giant Robo-dick.
Brent J. Nordquist
Is something going on with the QC website? I've been getting errors and partial pages the past 3 days.
BookBeard
For the sake of efficiency I've combined two unknowns and decided that Pintsize *did* receive the giant metal dick and that's why he's banned from Canada.
Ash359
Yeah just figuring that out now
Víctor A. Torre
Thick and extremelly butch Faye>>>>> Everything
SilverbackRon
Jeph is on vacation. He is not drawing any new strips, but he is re-posting old strips and giving commentary, as a retrospective. this strip is #3503 from seven year ago-ish. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3503
BookBeard
Apparently so. Specifically, you missed the announcement that Jeph would be doing directors commentary on old comics during his month-long vacation.
Nick
We actually saw Faye working on it at one point, and it was comically large, like 2 feet long
Anthony Gaglianese
Thicc Faye is honestly a life goal, so I say bring back the chunk. Big girls cuddle better.
Danny Beans
In my headcanon, they ended up attached to the flying Roomba. It messes with the aerodynamics a bit, but it looks MAGNIFICENT.
marty aka spockblocked
yessss thicc faye!!!
SilverbackRon
hahaha, that would be so funny. Or a random page that links to a guest strip and he talks about one of his artist friends?
Tom Wells
Nope….. you brought it up and reminded us. You need to finish it now. And it will actually work much better now that Pintsize. Has a humanoid body. 😁
Adam Friedlander
Jeph is on vacation for the month and doing reruns with commentary
Tannerbot
Pintsize is delightfully predictable
Julia Allen-Hesse
nice
Andrew Mitchell
NICE!! I thought we got the money shot with the big mental dick. I'm sure BookBeard will know one way or the other.
Thomas Baxter
nice!
Nick
What do we think are the odds of Jeph getting a random yelling bird comic and us getting a lore drop on yelling bird and sweet-tits backstory?
Zig Justice
The last line never fails to crack me up, especially the exasperated emphasis on "nice"

69 bucks got a pair of robotic balls is a pretty good deal
