Gatekeeping Warning: You are not a true caffeine addict until EVERY cup of coffee is a good cup of coffee. Excpt decaf of course.

Carol Metzger

It has been my experience that expressions cannot be drawn without the method acting.

Mark

Me too, that face is giving me life.

alphanor

One of the reasons? Asphyxiation and incineration are a couple of others.

Jim Feldman

used to be 8 Venusian Starbucks but they closed 4 that tried to unionize. Still, the decaf DOES suck.

Andrew

NICE.

Leak

The Hydraulic Press Channel on YouTube recently made a video or two where they used their new 300 ton press to make coffee, in case you're interested...

David Paul

Mmm... pastizzis 😋

Josh

I'm getting strong "Calvin and Hobbes" vibes from all the funny faces in this comic.

Ack

Hanners is BAKED AF

Clarence the Liar

3rd panel Hanners = Mr. DeMartino (DeMartinelore?) if his wrath had been traded in for her chill vibes

Boots McGoot

Hanners + Liz = good ideas FOREVER??

alphanor

Such a mental picture I have.

alphanor

!!!!!

Nick Whiting

Hanners angry sounds a bit scary. I mean, with access to a space station full of diabolical capabilities. Hanners would make a pretty crazy super vilian!

Maya Pilkey

There are different being methods that can make a better cup of coffee, each one requires different techniques, equipment, temperature and grinder settings

Zak Reichle

I refuse to believe anything else

Halloween Jack

I want to see more of Last-Panel Hanners. I bet that her mom uses that face all the time.

alphanor

There is absolutely no such thing as a good cup of coffee.

alphanor

With that face, no need for a mask!

TV4Fun

I wonder if Jeph adopts the facial expressions of his characters while he draws them.

Kevin Hicks

First we have to determine if there actually is such a thing as a "good cup of coffee."

David Paul

This would make an excellent "What If" question. We need to bombard his inbox to see how he approaches it. (I have asked a couple of questions for his blog, but I appear to have missed my mark (or they have drowned in a sea of unread emails)).

Sean Kinlin

At least she's not wearing a Halloween mask, or holding a knife.

David Paul

You and Hanners should compare notes.

David Paul

Thank you for the burst of optimism! You've given us hope! 😊

BookBeard

Maybe so, but there's still money in the idea. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3480

Came here to post the same. We should all strive for that level of satisfaction.

kupo

"HeheheMwuhaha...heheheMwuhaha" to be specific.

Yelling Bird

It's still better than the coffee from Uranus.

Opus the Poet

Which one, there used to be a gremlin laughing montage on YouTube (that I don't feel like seeing if it's still there at the moment).

Garra Wolfdog

I'm totally stealing "you're right! I'll draft a feasibility study" as an emergency exit phrase from conversations.

Dean Reilly

RIP Clinton, he jerked it until his hand fell off and then died.

Duncan

Def pasticchi

Charles Hirst

Chemicals! - like Carbohydrates and Proteins?

Mitsuki Ayane

I fucking LIVE for Hanner's face in panel 2. ~<3

Leak

Most planets, actually. Also - moist planets.

Simpin4Holo

Panel 2 Hanners is absolutely zooted

kupo

I'm not ashamed to admit this comic made me giggle like a gremlin.

Jason Harris

Secret secret secret secret CoffEE

Jason Harris

Perhaps Load might be a better term. Her current chemical load.

YsabetJustYsabet

Stoned Hanners is Hilarious Hanners.

Onyx

I love high Hanners

Jaron Mortimer

I'm getting real "Anya from Spy x Family" vibes from Hanners right now.

Arraine Siefert

I hope drawing the facial expressions from this party has been as fun as looking at them 😅

KingAtticus

A relic of a bygone era. Their commercials in the memories of a generation and a scant few stores are all that really remain of that once-toasty empire

It's Lina

Panel 2 is my favourite Hanners Face ever

Taigan

Wow. That takes me back. I think I read that in middle school.

BioGeek42

Deeply creepy Hanners

JD

I saw Hanners’ face without reading the comic first and became scared

Captain Button

I am recalling the Jupiter robots from Asimov's "Victory Unintentional."

darklion

Tonight: HaNnErS turns into gamzee MAKARA

Michael Phillips

Sure but you're still going to have a tepid espresso

William Cole

She did say ONE of the reasons…

Joe

better living through chemicals. the trick is the balance ...

Celine Chamberlin

That is an awful pun and I very much approve.

Joe

@Michael - there's no such thing as "iced coffee that's ok".

Carrie

She should get some cocaine eye drops.... for.... Many actual reasons. 😌

Carrie

Yes it is. Done enough childcare to understand 100%.

Carl Fink

Balance?

Carl Fink

I think @DenIvanov was saying espresso would be different because it's *by definition* made using high pressure. That's what espresso is.

Elf Sternberg

If it's after 8pm, I can do a half-cafe latte and sleep like a cat. (I've had kids. "Sleep like a baby" is a curse.)

Dean Reilly

Adding caffeine to Liz's current chemical balance can only end well.

Michael Phillips

And while you can use a pressure vessel to do the extraction you still can't have hot coffee because the temperature is that you recognize as hot quickly become over the boiling point of the liquid.

Charlotte Grubbs

Famous last words, Claire.

Michael Phillips

Anything that uses heat to extract flavor from something in a liquid is going to extract less flavor in lower pressure settings.

Holly Nelson

With beautiful floating islands, and scarcely any solid land? And singing beasts that sound like cellos? Save a seat for me.

KingAtticus

Hanelore clearly remembers the research colony that her dad forgot 😝

Populuxe

Hanners has ALL the faces.

Miyaa

Here lies Clinton. “I’ll miss you, you stupid little brother. – Claire”

Den

Would espresso be more or less the same?

Miyaa

And cakes. Toronto is very lucky to have “Venus Bakery and Cakes.”

Miyaa

This feels like something that started as a private “What if” question to Randall Munroe.

Andrea Andrew

Quizno’s?! What are those?🤣🤣🤣

BobC

Pfft. You can't even get BAD coffee on most planets!

Taigan

Ok, wait. This is QCniverse. They have space stations and robots. Do we know if there are canonical Venus colonies?

Yelling Bird

Right?

Joel Bateman

Found my new pfp

BookBeard

Not everyone yet. The next comic is Clinton walking home when he trips and falls into a pit of enraged robot possums. His last words are "Whoa, cool chassis! Is that custAHHHHGGHHH!!!!"

Magic Chopstick Games

My god, Hanners is channeling a Quizno’s ad

Michael Phillips

Though I suppose you could cook it in a pressure vessel and make iced coffee that was okay

Michael Phillips

Venus coffee is almost certainly better than Mars coffee. Cuz low atmospheric pressure coffee is going to taste like lukewarm crap

Sean Kinlin

Of course they're back early - they took a red eye.

Carrie

Who hasn't had decaffeinated coffee at earlyasfrack am? Isn't it a quasi normal thing?

Olaf

Jeph really built up to this one on his Bluesky feed.

Yonatan Zunger

Dammit, this is bugging me. Why wouldn't you be able to decaffeinate coffee on Venus? I mean you obviously couldn't make supercritical CO2 at atmospheric pressure there but if you're trying to make supercritical CO2, or really doing anything else, while exposed directly to Venus' atmosphere then decaffeinated coffee is likely to be the least of your problems. A closed-cycle decaffeination system at a fixed and reasonable internal pressure should work fine, again as long as you don't leave it out in the Venusian atmosphere where it would melt. (And I'm not even stoned...)
