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...)
Carrie
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂 yeah, they're only "acceptable".
Doc Gumby
Her panel three face reminds me of kabuki theater somehow.
alphanor
The Hanners face in the last panel is soooo scary!! What is coming next??
Andrew
And Starbuck blew up the last Starbucks
Doc Gumby
Or was it pastels?
Not that Patrick Foltz
and he's thinking of opening a coffee shop??
Grace Kieser
He likes the REAL slow burn ships. We should hear about them some time before 2030
Andrew
Coffee made at 92 bar pressure? Yes please.
Wynn Donivan
Very good Hannelore faces in panels two and three.
BookBeard
The other reason you can't get a good cup of coffee on Venus is that they only have Tom Horbons.
Graydon Armstrong
That Panel 2 face...
Yelling Bird
Ok, High Hanners needs to happen WAY more often.
Tannerbot
I wanna see the feasibility study!
Bill Silvia
With all their arms, Venusian baristas must be amazing.
Sean Kinlin
Or is it pasties? Or pasties?
Graydon Armstrong
NO WHAT HAPPENED WITH IRIS AND WILLOW GOD DAMMIT JEPH
Matthew Holland
Good to see everyone made it home OK.
ValdVin
Hanners' arc of coming back and Liz's arc of...wherever she is are going to cross. Not sure if I'm ready for this.
Doc Gumby
Venus does have amazing pastries though.
