Clinton being best boy <3
djellafine
Wasn't there a scene where Brun told Clinton (or Elliott?) that she's ace (but using her own words to describe it, very Brun-like) I don't remember a scene with Yemisi talking about her sexuality?
LH
the correct ship name for moray/clinton is moron
Trans4Life2021
If the Singularity brings about nothing but Morays, there might actually be world peace.
Clarence the Liar
when you're sniffing a board of those stickers you hoard that's a Moray
PGH
JEPH THIS IS UNRELATED BUT MENOMENA JUST DROPPED A B-SIDES EXTENDED VERSION
Andrew Mitchell
Just the one, but she's great!
BookBeard
Brun's sexuality is as yet unverified, although I strongly suspect ace. Yemisi is the only character confirmed as asexual.
Joseph Bonnar
The comparison of Moray and Iris right now... :)
Joshua
I don’t know… she might be at the other end of the spectrum, which also hasn’t really had any representation (unless you count Sven? Or Pintsize, but he’s his own weird, weird thing.) She’s enthusiastic about everything she tries and she wants to try everything. She even had the crew use her body as a bong. Doesn’t seem like much of a stretch for her, once she tries it. Not that Jeph could actually include it in the strip, of course.
Joshua
The text at the bottom - signed Gag Halfrunt?
djellafine
Oh yeah! I forgot about Brun since that was like...months ago in real time
Yonatan Zunger
We have one - Brun! I have no *idea* what Moray's sexuality is, tbh.
Shaodyn
Aww, Moray!
Jared Cyr
awwwww

@Zak: Actually, he's a Minolta.

When you affirm you’re great After Clinton’s tirade That’s a Moray
skinnybdink
no thoughts only 😍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️
MayLaBelle
or at least an affirmation txt file
Miyaa
I hear the Publix behind the golf course has the best sandwiches in town.
eduardo
When does she meet Zaphod? He's just zis guy, you know?
Opus the Poet
Moray is a human-level intelligence AI with no discernable power source and no visible means of locomotion. She doesn't even know how she moves or how she maintains that humanoid female shape.
Opus the Poet
I used to live in Augusta GA. place was a madhouse during Masters weekend.
Miyaa
Steve hasn’t been the same since.
Miyaa
Finding out that her husband had an affair with his secretary will do that. (I hope Yay got him good with an ICBM.)
David Paul
Clinton: "Well... I'm kind of already filling that role for my boyfriend." Moray: "Ohmygosh! Is he cute as well? I sprung a leak when I first heard about Marten!" Clinton: "Oh he is! Wait, what?"
David Paul
I'm also with Clinton on this. As much of an oddball as she is, Moray is actually pretty fascinating. She has a lot of issues to sort through, but then don't we all to some extent?
Zak Reichle
Claire often has a bit of a blindspot when it comes to Clinton, she normally just sees annoying brother, whether that's what he's doing or not
Zak Reichle
Canon ^^
Stephen Wells
True, but it will be much healthier when Clinton takes this energy home to Elliot :)
Andrew
“Who’s that? Oh, my emotional support human”
Andrew
Do you know many? :)
Streb
D'awww
Ben Engelsberg
She's just jelly from the block?
enchantedsleeper
The harm is he's her ANNOYING DORK BROTHER UGH Sometimes you can just be petty for no reason x3
Ack
The urge to ship is intense.
SpookyPenguin
She's a gooey green mist He's a bright metal fist Thatsa Moray!
Some Ed
Gruesome aftermath only, page 122. And my notes only said 'LANPark'. Sigh. Edit: The notes have been corrected, so tense changed to past.
Diptych
His fanning over people has caused offense and alarm in the past, but so far he seems to be doing fine here.
Diptych
Most assuredly, yes.
Uniquitous
Definitely
Uniquitous
I wish Claire would just let Clinton be positive here. What's the harm?
Nulgar
Lucky for Clinton, Moray is exactly the kind of person who likes to hear this.
Some Ed
I mean, she can probably do those if she really wants to.
Hawkeye
Honestly, everyone needs an affirmation board.
Luke
Honestly, Clinton's reaction in this situation is pretty normal. I'd also be in awe if I was speaking to a sentient goop lady with an adorable personality.
MiqoRems
cloray
Captain Button
Gimme the Future! Gimme the Future! Gimme the Future with a Sli-my Girl!
Some Ed
It's my impression that as they were growing up, Aurella also lacked a lot of chill, in no small part because of their deadbeat dad. But she accomplished the goal of getting them to college, and she breathed a sigh of relief and reassessed stuff.
Nathan Kinsey
Was that a Zaphod Beeblebrox reference?
BookBeard
I've always gotten the impression that Aurelia's "chill" kicked in later in life.
Yelling Bird
I mean, he's not wrong.
BookBeard
(I've suspected for some time that Willow is aromantic, but I haven't mentioned it lest I be torn asunder by hordes of enraged shippers.)
BookBeard
I don't think Panromantic is an accurate description. I agree that Moray enthusiastically loves everyone, but so far it has always seemed platonic. In this regard she is much like Willow, strong propensity for forming friendship but no obvious tendency (yet) toward the romantic.
Allan Widner
I am trying to figure out how Aurelia managed to raise those two. Not even the slightest chill in either of them, while their mother kicks back and plays bass and casually accidentally becomes a vtube celebrity.
Bagge
No fighting - there is Moray enough for both of you
Magic Chopstick Games
She just needs a third arm and a second head
William Cole
But he's matured and is now using his non-chill powers for good instead of selfish ends.
William Cole
I'll give you ace, but Moray seems more Panromantic than anything. She enthusiastically loves practically everyone.
William Cole
Moray would probably be willing to make the gushing reciprocal.
Joel Bateman
Clinton is in awes of her, and most of us wanna fuck her. Jeph, stop creating waifus.
William Cole
Not even Moray is normal about being Moray.
William Cole
You've just described my dream job!
Chelsea Watson
It would be lovely to have an aro/ace character
Carly Dingman
Quit being a buzzkill Claire! They're both having a good time.
Minzoku Bokumetsu
but without the "with you"
Sean Kinlin
Figuratively, at least.
BookBeard
There's that zero-chill Clinton we all know and love.
djellafine
For the Clinton/Moray shippers (Minton?) I think Clinton is just fascinated with Moray as a being and there is no sexual or romantic interest in that. And I've been meaning to comment, since I've seen other characters getting matched up with Moray in previous threads: Moray strikes me as kind of ace; anyone else get that vibe? Idk why, just a feeling. Ace/aro maybe even. (That's asexual/aromantic for folks unfamiliar)
djellafine
True geekiness at its most pure.
ValdVin
Black Cow: You can see both root beer and ice cream in her.
Jay
Rereading through the archive lately and it's kinda fascinating. Especially since around strip 100 there's a small arc of Pintsize interacting with other AIs about one of them getting unwillingly modded that would probably horrify most of the current cast.
Graydon Armstrong
This is going to throw Elliot's anxiety into overdrive when he hears about it. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4912
Aran Fielder
We all need someone to thinks of us how Clinton thinks of Moray. 😂
BookBeard
His name is Cameron Streamsworth. His friends call him Cam.
marty aka spockblocked
nice hhgttg ref there
Connor Wilson
When you're made out of slime Clinton thinks you're divine that's a Moray...
BookBeard
Experimental robots in boxes of breakfast cereal? What an absurd and outlandish thing to suggest. That could never happen. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2743
Matt Pedone
Love the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy reference in the post-comic text!
Not that Patrick Foltz
Affirmation!
KSib
I need those two to meet irl
Jonathan Marinaro
THAT'S A-MORAYYYYYYY
BookBeard
Moray could *be* the mattress. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5068
Noise
I'd definitely date someone like Moray. Total sweetie. I'd need to buy a lot more towels first, though.
rhekke
I just enjoy the fact that Clinton here is just sharing his genuine feelings. No ulterior motives, no unspoken qualifiers, no parasocial relationship. He really thinks Moray is awesome and wonderful.
PostRetroism
If Clinton moves to Cubetown they can become short distance friends!
BookBeard
Liz has been promoted to the Librarian's personal attack gremlin.
Miyaa
Only in the masculine case; feminine plural is “Augustae”; neuter plural is “Augusta.”
Todd Ellner
That would be wrong. Very wrong. And not in a good way.
Todd Ellner
Librarian powers don't work when family is involved
David Durant
"You called?"
Tamara Macadam
HAPPY ENDING
Wooly50
I'M WITH YOU ON THIS ONE CLINTON
Ken
Please tell me Moray’s phone/drone is a separate AI with a personality all its own (unless it is fact an extension of Moray which, also cool)
David Durant
As little as six months ago I would have poured cold water on the "near future" bit but I've been watching a bunch of Boston Dynamics, Google Gemini and OpenAI videos recently...
Shawn K. Younkin
Honestly, Moray needs someone to gush over her every now and then.
Doc Gumby
And it happened so seamlessly!
David Durant
No dumping Elliot!
Jonathan Taves
I hear Canadian A&Ws are better than those in the U.S.
Devin Gates
Poor Moray, she probably thinks people get cooler things than her free in their breakfast cereal.
Jonathan Taves
Wouldn't a mattress be more comfortable?
Munchkin Threats
I like how this comic started as a music-subculture-focused slice of life that had a funny anthropomorphic PC character as a gag and now its a post singularity near future sci-fi slice of life comic.
KingAtticus
I’m for threesomes, but only if everyone is on board 😎
ValdVin
I suggest 'Wonder "We're Not Twins" Powers'.
Brendan Luster
that moment when you realize your affirmation board is all just scratch and sniff stickers
Sean Kinlin
Root beer with or without the mug?
Thomas Halpin
I love all of this. Sure, Clinton has less chill than his sister wants, and his Claire is being surprisingly harsh for being high, but that's just folks being folks.
Alacrity Fitzhugh
Ouch! and Yay!
Kaos7heory
🎶 Clowns to the left of me Jokers to the right! Here I am Stuck in the middle with you 🎵
Derek Benson
Ideally he will dump his boyfriend for a robot slime girl extruded from a robot slime jellyfish, or perhaps a polycule will form and um...threesomes would be extremely flexible
Sean Kinlin
Or is the plural Augusti?
Alacrity Fitzhugh
Moray's the best slime girl
Sean Kinlin
Claire activates their wonder twin powers to turn Clinton into a bucket of water.
Bill Silvia
Which would be weirder to see floating in your colleague: hot dogs or root beer?
LH
to be fair it's impossible to be *normal* about Moray
Phaine Of Catz
Moray gets so much joy out of both of them for dramatically different reasons
Miyaa
I look forward to the slap fight between the Augustus that would put the Angry Beavers slap fight to shame.
Sammitch
and then Claire used her Librarian Powers to sic Liz on him.
Carrie
Adorable!! I hope Moray and Clinton become long distance friends.
Kuragari
When you're a girl made of slime and you're nice all the time, that's a Moray!
Andrew Mitchell
Moray's my favourite slime girl! ♥️
Andrew L Butula
Awww, good for Moray.
Sean Kinlin
To celebrate Clinton's comment, Moray goes to A&W.
Ashbury Haight
Clinton continues to be my favorite character
Doc Gumby
And Claire is in the middle.
ValdVin
"Awe and Wonder Chamber" gets taped over "Sadness Chamber".
