Comedy is tragedy plus time, and since it's still the same day it's probably more a tragedy of errors...
Shey
I'm obsessed with Anh
Fabio Neves
This gives me flashbacks to 99% of discussions I had with neurotypical people
legobil
Agreed 100%! Too bad it is not helping, vis a vis Anh that is. 😅
Clifton Royston
Thank you both, and you're probably both right, some combination of the two. I was in a very grouchy mood yesterday (bad day.) More often I would let it slide or at least try to make a more pleasant reminder to respect others' names (especially names from other languages and cultures.)
Glenn
Anh is rapidly becoming my new favorite character, and she and Hanners together seem like they would be a very fun odd couple.
Karvil
The Webcomic Dumbing of Age; the Jeph and it's creator Willis are friends, or perhaps frenemies depending on the exact moment and the state of the current Butts Disease infections. Joyce and Dorothy are main characters with frequent sexual tensions.
Pejo
yeah,,,,, her rear end
SilverbackRon
(I don't know who Joyce and Dorothy are, what context am I missing?)
Bill Silvia
I think it's because there's no unique way to pronounce Anh in English (unless you do "An-huh"), so people latching onto the most likely pronunciation (as "Ahn") which becomes easier to remember than the proper spelling.
SilverbackRon
This does not have enough likes! Have another.
Nicolas Dao-Phan
That Hanners is sexy? Yes
Yelling Bird
Thanks Jeph! I've been having medical issues since Dec 31st 2001. There's been a lot of ups and downs, but I'm hanging in there.
Ursus Ridens
I am not going to "like" that story, but I'm glad that you're around to tell it.
Yelling Bird
Opus, that's what I was in for this last time. Had a massive kidney infection. They said they found a stone and were going to have to surgically remove it. They took a CT scan to get it's exact location and couldn't find it again.
Yelling Bird
Graydon, a lot of people have thought that I'm secretly Jeph. It's the main reason I pulled back on the intensity of my earlier posts. It's bad enough if I go too far or I misword something that makes it seem like what I'm saying is far worse than I intended it to be, but I don't want people to make the further mistake of thinking that it was actually Jeph saying it.
Chris Warren
They must become an item. I need to see this.
Mooster
I have no desire to 'ship these two. Anh is just a horrible person, as Jeph himself has said. I have a lot higher hopes for Hanners--she deserves so much more!
djellafine
Ah... Absence Of Tone In Text™ strikes again! My bad
allanfranta
@dcy665 - that is unfortunate.
dcy665 .
either or both works
jonesnori
I hope you're over it soon, Yelling Bird. I had a bout of medical stuff last month - five days in the hospital, which was about two days longer than necessary, and at that I had to sign myself out AMA on my personal specialist's advice. Much better now. I hope you will be, too, and that you'll get excellent care meantime.
jonesnori
It could be autocorrect. I know I don't always notice when it changes something on me. I usually remember to proofread, but sometimes something will slip by. And a lot of people miss more.
OldGoat
Had an old drinking buddy who's first name was Byron. He insisted people call him Ron.
Daryl Sawyer
She's been a lot better about the touching, lately, hugging friends and everything. And she was never exactly happy with her touch issues.
enchantedsleeper
Hanners is collecting... challenging friends
OldGoat
@Yenni Desroches But effective communication goes both ways. Message-Feedback-Adjust Message if necessary and resend. Ever had a boss that would give ambiguous instructions then get angry when someone asked for clarification? Yeah, that guy. Women do it, too.
enchantedsleeper
Nothing in Anh's life is ever a her problem xD
Photon
"Puns are lego for jokes."
Philip Masters
Note that Hanners IS also an heiress, and isn't... as confused as Anh. (Beware the No True Scotsman error here.)
Philip Masters
The nice touch is that Hanners is demonstrating that Good Is Not Dumb. She's responding to Anh's confusion about as rationally as anyone could, and remaining unflustered.
OldGoat
Andropyrosexual?
Photon
Naturally is... the catcher. Naturally!
allanfranta
I should have said "lawyer up" not "pay up"...
Photon
But she is rather toxic...
Laura Sullivan
Yea I knew someone a lot like this in my twenties, a wild 6 months of nonstop drama. Made life more interesting and the rest of our friend group has stories for days but we had to cut her out lol
CthonicBelletrist
Ok but Hanners being Anh's Big Bi Awakening is hilarious for both of them for very different reasons.
BookBeard
@Opus you recall correctly, but it was a story that Penelope was telling Faye, and therefore not definitive. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1932
Cole Blackblood
Anh just kind of latches on to wherever her mind ping pongs to next, huh?
Mitsuki Ayane
I would love to ship these two, but we all know Hanners isn't going to go for it ~<3
Jan Szejko
Except that Anh isn't masculine
djellafine
"That seems like a you problem."
Joshua Brumley
Saturize, actually.
djellafine
@nbarnes you win the comments section today
djellafine
@Joshua Generalize much?
Marc Ducharme
This is toxic masculinity in a nutshell. "She's not into me. But she's so sexy."
Richard Bruckner
passive agressive curiosity. amazing.
William Burns
Here's hoping they fix your cloaca.
William Burns
*Some* people think all kinds of consarned foolery.
Carl Fink
I think that's a coloring problem. What you're seeing as the bottom of the wineglass is meant to be a gap between Hanners' body and arm, but it colored as part of her dress, making it look transparent.
allanfranta
The problem with the rich is they don't have to be smart and act accordingly, if they screw up, they pay up and move on.
Carl Fink
You've never encountered a person who assumes that someone is seductive because that person dressed up nicely that day, for instance? I mean, I'm a guy and I've run into that.
allanfranta
They'll fix that in post.
allanfranta
Philip Masters, thank you. Out-of-context problems is a great explanation for most of my life's confusions.
allanfranta
I have had lady friends, and I was their gentleman caller. Being over 30 and having a "girl"-friend only makes you eligible to be a congressman from Florida.
allanfranta
Apparently...
Stephen Wells
One of the primary purposes of fiction is to explore situations that we don't/can't/shouldn't/wouldn't in reality.
Stephen Wells
The sound of an author starting to regret what they've unleashed on, and in, their audience :)
Philip Masters
Nah. She clearly has a high libido, and she hardly seems homophobic given her friendship with Tai. If she could get her rocks off with women, I think she'd have discovered that by now. As someone said above, she has two weapons in her toolkit: intimidation and seduction. Intimidation won't work on Hanners, but she finds Hanners interesting, so her brain has gone all scrambled and reset to the other option, despite the fact that she has no inclination to use it.
Carrie
Oh jeepers! Figure out their type or crush and see if you can help them figure out how they feel. Or, they're crushing on you and this is how they deal with it being one sided.
Philip Masters
But you don't have Anh's rather over-specialised antennae. Hannelore is an out-of-context problem for her, so of course she's misinterpreting everything.
Carrie
🥵🤩
Elizabeth Rosenzweig
I believe Lorelei is referencing the "Who's On First" skit performed by Abbott and Costello: https://youtu.be/sYOUFGfK4bU?si=cGF4RmUhWmtEBMgP
Carrie
Yay team squiggly zigzag!
gaijin 99
Especially since Hanners is elementally repulsed by bodily fluids, kissing, and even touching other people.
Jeph Jacques
Oh my god
Jeph Jacques
Thanks and I hope your medical crap gets less crappy soon!!
Boots McGoot
i don't know, third base... this is so funny, absolutely blessed dynamic
Eoin Madsen
Bi furious
Opus the Poet
These two just met today, Joyce and Dorothy are in their second semester in the same dorm.
Opus the Poet
Don't forget third base is a Home Run for Girl-Girl Action.
Opus the Poet
Penelope is not Pizza Girl, i distinctly remember a strip with P and PG pointing at each other like the Spider-man Meme saying "You." "You!"
Jan Szejko
I'm just guessing that's what Anh thinks
Am Queue
... Is this really a thing that people think?
Opus the Poet
@nbarnes I understood that reference.. I'll get my flying monkeys to lift that house off my sister and be right with you.
Am Queue
Or at least scene reports.
Opus the Poet
I can relate to medical crap, I just got home from rehab for a kidney infection, 2 months after getting home from my second fall in 2 months. I was only back from rehab 5 days from the first fall when I had the second fall, and I spent 10 hours on my back in a walk-in shower with a loofa bath mat abrading the skin off my back. Loofa mats are great for not slipping in the shower, awful for laying down on. I spent 2 weeks healing up from that one.
Clifton Royston
*cough* Man, a lot of people seem to have trouble spelling Anh when it's right in front of them on the comic page.
Travis Young
Naturally.
Comics Ladybird
Two people inexperienced in the ways of non-penetrative intercourse (or, as Erika Moen would put it, “girlfuck”) with trouble communicating together, such as, I don’t know, on laying out expectations. What could possibly go wrong?
Ísabel Pirsic
Hann’s Ahn’s first
Abhayakara
This is pretty much the quintessential QC.
Davus Otho
Anh seems like she would be very good at interacting with people...who never say what they mean. People who say exactly what they mean, like Hanners, apparently mystify her.
Shane Wegner
Hannelore is probably firemansexual anyway.
Jan Szejko
Hanners is sending mixed signals, because on one hand she says she's not into girls, but on the other, she's so sexy
Steven Ametjan
This reminds me of my friend… “I’m only gay when I’m drunk.”
Bagge
There hasn't been a single comic with those two that didn't make me laugh.
mathw
I think the problem is definitely on Ahn's end.
Graydon Armstrong
Elf, you're making me need more journal entries!
Graydon Armstrong
I had always been assuming you were Jeph's alt! Medical crap is crap, hope you're through it okay soon.
William Cole
Naturally.
Lightsabr2
Guess you're just going to let the more (ahem) amateur artists... bring this arc to it's ... um... climax.
Anthony Gaglianese
Fair
Bill Silvia
Her interest in Sven suggests she's made a lot of mistakes in clubs, tbh.
Bill Silvia
This is so close to being perfect. If only "cracking an egg" was associated with a bisexual awakening.
Eric Sieck
He sure is!
A_Shadowmage_in_the_Pearlmania_War
I love everything about Ahn and I want a comic series of her life
Ursus Ridens
So, who _is_on first, anyway?
legobil
Ahahahaha, this was so funny. All of you.
legobil
The train is leaving the station, the lights are blinking, choo-choo! Anh: What?!
legobil
Oh, Hanners. So pure, so pure. Never stop being you. Anh: More mixed signals?!
Duke
"THAT'S WHAT I'M ASKIN' YOU!!!" "Third base!" ... "Well now you've just confused the issue further."
Yenni Desroches
Yea but it's generally mixed because of how it's being read, not how it's being spoken/done
Elf Sternberg
Comedy of Eros to follow.
Yelling Bird
Jeph, I've been having another bad bout of medical crap lately, and as shitty as I feel QC never fails to make me feel better. I know I can be an asshole on here, but it's always in an effort to be funny. Thanks for everything you do.
ValdVin
Well that's just great, Zilcho. We've been out here six seconds and you've already managed to blow the routine.
BookBeard
The last confirmed sighting of pizza girl was #3642, although there was someone in CoD recently who looked suspiciously like her... https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3642 https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5110
Andrew
No one expects the Spanish Anh-quisiton!
Joshua Brumley
Heh... And girls wonder why guys get annoyed at "mixed" signals. :)
Tim Starliper
Brilliantly executed.
Tim Starliper
What about OUT of firefighting gear?
Minzoku Bokumetsu
it seems fine to me, most of the left side of the glass is behind Hanners' hand Handers
William Cole
I DON'T GIVE A DARN!
Gamera
*my gear laddened hat opens up to reveal a steam powered gattling gun filled with stakes*
BobC
No, no, no. What's'er name is on third base. With Sally.
nbarnes
Her two tools are intimidation, seduction, and a ruthless commitment to her own advaHER THREE TOOLS are intimidation, seduction, a ruthless commitment to her own advancement, andAMONGST HER TOOLS ARE SUCH DIVERSE ITEMS AS.... I'll come in again.
Kristina
Ahhhhh, she's deep in the bisexual panic, huh
James Anthony
I mean the romance novel basically writes itself
Elf Sternberg
"... stungun and mace, Karmann Ghia plates say 'Lost in Space.'" Yeah, that's about the right speed for Ahn.
Joseph Houk
I don't know (THIRD BASE!)
Elf Sternberg
I made sexy mistakes on a mountain once, although in the Cascades, not Tibet. God, he was gorgeous. And unlike Brokeback Mountain, we didn't forget the astroglide.
Elf Sternberg
That's "Dr. Heteronormativity" to you, comrade! https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1526
Elf Sternberg
And when WAS the last time we saw Pizza Girl?
Elf Sternberg
I dunno. Season 1 Hanners was a wildly different creature. Had sexy vibes in a "Oh, sure, I'll bite your head off after mating, because I have issues" way. Still completely unavailable, but emanating a serial killer sort of sexiness. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=520
David Paul
🎶Na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na-na na, Pizza!🎶
Andrew
Heiress / volunteer firefighter. Stranger things have happened?
David Paul
@Logan Nix they call it "The Zoo". All ages access, but only VIPs go into the animal pens.
Rob Vary
Bi's on first, Pan's on second, but I Don't Know is still on third.
BookBeard
Both Anh and the wine glass are being affected by the strong lesbian vibes of the wedding. They make everything just a little less straight.
BookBeard
The night is young.
Sean Rotter
OMG this one had me LMAO!!
Logan Nix
Now all we need is two troublemaking twins and an ambiguously flamboyant hotel manager... Maybe Hanners should quit the coffee shop and start selling candy?
Logan Nix
Or go to a random club and shovel yak poo? Not sure what kind of club that'd be though
Mad Marie
As they say, "Two heiress human; tofu gived vine."
Mad Marie
I wonder how many women are on mountains in Tibet. Lotsa monks there, just saying.
Mad Marie
Pizza girl runs in. " Did somebody activate The Signal?"
Mad Marie
I you remove "the law" in that sentence,
Doc Gumby
I suppose Ahn really is, I also keep forgetting Hanner's heritage.
Mad Marie
... Girls: definitely no. Now a woman, on the other hand...
Doc Gumby
I resemble that remark...
Anthony Gaglianese
I approve of this message.
BookBeard
Split the difference. Go to Tibet and make sexy mistakes on a mountain.
BookBeard
Both, probably.
BookBeard
"Look, I just came over to say that I don't want to have sex with you either. So the fact that you aren't interested is a good thing. Unless you are? But you're not, so fine. I mean, if your not sure...? No, okay. Me too. Good. Fine. *cough*"
LH
i feel like both of these people have never interacted with anyone like each other before. it's like a shark talking to a yak.
Doug DeJulio
She certainly seems fairly bent to me.
Matthew Weber
But has Hanners ever seen a girl in firefighting gear?
LH
it's actually just a nickname, their full name is Bison First
Elberik
When your only tools are intimidation and seduction, everything looks like a potential conquest.
KSib
I can't tell if they're gonna be great friends or if Hannelore is going to have to lay down the law at some point on her.
Sexagesimalian
See, the stem has a curve in it by design. She just rotated the glass so it became evident.
LH
well duh, you're clearly not a sexy fireman
Mad Marie
"I'm not bi-ing--YOU'RE bi-ing!" 😭
Doc Gumby
I have yet so see a sexy signal of any kind from Hannelore.
SpookyPenguin
"I'm desperate to be your friend but let's sort the sex thing out first and it's your fault ok"
SpookyPenguin
Abbot and Costello can never be forgotten for this deathless joke.
Matthew Delahaye
In panel 2, Hannelore is so flustered she has broken the stem off that wine glass. That or bent it.
Sean Kinlin
Similar to an heirhead?
The World Famous Chocomerican
I'm starting to think Anh might not be very straight.
Gamera
This is your brain on heteronormativity
Anthony Gaglianese
Anh needs to do some soul-searching. And not the 'go to Tibet and scale a mountain' like Hanners did, more the 'go to a random club and make some sexy mistakes' kind.
Buck Caldwell
THIRD BASE!
Wynn Donivan
At least nobody's been threatened with arm-breaking yet!
Jimi Ballard
"I'm starting to think Ahn might not be very bright." - Well, she is an heiress.
Miyaa
Someone please smack Ahn with a clue by four.
Jim Sharkey
Poor Hannah
Miyaa
SEAN GDI NO (Take your like ya filthy animal!)
Andrew
SUBTLE
Lorelei
HOLD HANDS HOLD HANDS HOLD HANDS
Vilinda
I love this woman so much! She's hilarious!
Timothy Roller
Why be bright when you can be rich and angry?
Sean Kinlin
Who's Ahn first?
Emma Humphries
Strike that, reverse it. Ask Station to take out Instagram's servers from orbit.
Emma Humphries
Idea, someone ask Station to delete Anh's Instagram.
Dean Reilly
Steady on, they haven't even held hands yet! 😂
SilverbackRon
Don't Be Ridiculous! 🙄
el_zilcho
Yes, not the sexual orientation but rather a player with the unlikely name of “Bi” is on first!
Doc Gumby
Nice.
Taigan
If it was anyone other than Hannelore, I’d suggest that they experiment to be sure.
Drazi
I with Hanners on this one.
Doc Gumby
Ahn is very Ahn-centric. Hanners is rightly puzzled.
Kenneth Harris
She's just too pure
Tannerbot
Hanners has no routines for this level of nonsense. And she has dealt with Pintsize.
Shawn K. Younkin
The problem is definitely on Anh's end.
Z Winningham
When one of them says "I don't know", does that mean they made it to Third Base?
Jeremy
Anh, she's a comedy of errors.
Brendan Luster
to be clear, it's good to be clear
A Lorelei V
THIRD BASE!
Aerin Moriarty
As a late-in-life lesbian, I didn't expect to be clocked so hard tonight 😅
Jessie Bunton
Projecting much?
Armcannon Productions
Hanners' face in panel two is perfection.
Andrea Andrew
Jeph, have you been thinking about Joyce and Dorothy?
Laura Sullivan
Bahaha I would not want to know this disaster in real life but written very entertaining
