Make It Clap

Mad Marie

From a different angle, perhaps Emmett is showing signs of a superpower

Mark

The difference being that I care about Jeph's characters. As part of a reading group I started reading Anna Karenina and once the cast got to about 3 degrees of separation from the main cast, I started thinking "Who are all these idiots?" Having finished the first part, the group unanimously decided to give up on the second one.

Ouch

Jeph: "If Tolstoy could do it in a fictional Russia, I can do it in a fictional Northampton. QC will be remembered for centuries as a sweeping epic of romance, robots, and butts."

Ruth Merriam

Faye's superpower. One of Faye's superpowers?

Mark

What do you think, is Jeph up to enough characters to populate 8 or 9 separate strips?

Stephen Wells

Reading this week's strip in succession, the way that Emmett is slowly emerging from the hoodie like a butterfly from a chrysalis is an amazing, understated piece of comics art.

You can't keep doing this. You can't keep making new favorite characters for me. It can't be healthy.

JourneymanWizard

Spank off , spank o... oh um. nevermind.

Mad Marie

YB, calm down. The title is “make it clap” not “give it clap”.

Thomas A. Dennis

Clap on, clap off... the Clapper!

Winning comment (in my book) of the day

Mark

Once I encountered a friend's teenage daughter who I had been told had a couple of impressive achievements under her belt. I said "I hear congratulations are in order", which she somehow interpreted to mean that I was expecting HER to congratulate ME.

Miyaa

After he makes snake shirts please

Stephen Wells

File under the same heading as when she got together with Bubbles and was wondering "Wait, have I _always_ been bi?"

Pejo

I like how Emmett misinterpreted Faye's implied wink in panel 2 as a misunderstanding. That is extremely a 14 year old response. QC is so well-written, gosh.

LORD OF FROGS!

😂😅🤣😹

I love how Sam returned with the same amount of drama as she went to the bathroom

Absentia

i like to imagine op actively closed this page and then their brain processed that information and they rushed back here to comment.

Fart Captor

I didn't put it together until I reread the last strip

Brooks Moses

What nobody has mentioned yet is that Faye has excellent skills with the distraction. Whatever possible thoughts of suspicion Sam might have had while coming back have now been completely obliterated and forgotten by thoughts of butt mechanisms, and also Emmet has plenty of time to pull themselves together before Sam will be taking any notice of them. Well done Faye!

Dimitar Bounov

Lol, I love the 4 minute pause between the two comments

Andrew Mitchell

She's a chaotic _GREAT_ child minder.

Fart Captor

WAIT, DID FAYE REMEMBER A CHILDHOOD GIRL CRUSH??

Fart Captor

Awwww, Emmett you sweet adorable queer babby 🥺

Logan Nix

compared to #4691 Faye looks downright corseted in this one o_o

Sparky

Ah… Faye is good with teens without being weird.

Mad Marie

Cheeky!

Joseph Bonnar

Everybody seems to have missed the single most important feature of the past three strips. WE NEED JEPH TO MAKE BITEY (the snake) SHIRTS AND HOODIES! Edited for clarity.

so what?

HaHaHa!

Paul Britt

Faye's waist is getting smaller. At least in this strip.

W H Sparkman

Whoo-hooo for robot butts

Jaron Mortimer

On the contrary, there is at least one butt. Probably several.

Chris Magnelli

Faye IS a chaotic good babysitter. Thats how she bonded with Sam in the first place isnt it?

Jaron Mortimer

Bro all that robutt work is doing some absolutely stellar things for Faye's figure. Them things look stupid large.

Hugh Eckert

Faye continues to be a treasure.

Darth Hypno

It's a stereotype. We say about the same as everybody else.

Kyle Stephens

is "aboat" how they say it in Canada? I assumed it was a typo the first time, but you used it twice. Along with the other way you've written Emmett's text, I assume so.

Absentia

okay, Emmett absolutley has a crush on Sam and it's adorable. i hearby dub this ship the SS Sammett

Todd Ellner

Nice job, Faye!

Sally Fields

'Would be' a chaotic good babysitter? The whole reason she knows Sam was because she taught her how to sharpen knives while her dad was on a date

Captain Button

There's an app for that: https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3117

Gamera

It will never stop being funny how we went from "Marten Reed, Professional Indie Ogler" to "Fay and her gay robo bae running the robutt repair bay"

Grace Kieser

That's because she was Emmett when she was a teen!

AJ Saint

The joy of clenching cheeks.

Jenea Ylinen Fredrickson

Emmett might be my new fave. They remind me a lot of a student I had last year, though they were 10. Same energy though.

Peter McDevitt

Emmett's a good kid. no ifs, ands or butts.

Yelling Bird

ALSO, THAT'S NOT A ROBOT BUTT! THAT'S AN ENTIRE ROBOT CROTCH, WHICH IS AT LEAST TWICE AS AWESOME!

Tannerbot

This has been so wonderfully wholesome. Will Sam introduce emmet to froglord?

Yonatan Zunger

Kyle Jenkins

Emmett is great

Sleepy John

no spraying in the robot butts!

Greg Matyola

Mean Twerks Before Failure

Miyaa

You don’t even have a butt you can clench, Bird!

Orion Rhine

I too had a friend I would follow anywhere, I wish I still did.

Andrew

Does. It have. Sound. Effects.

Zig Justice

Now I'm imagining there's a company whose only product is the solenoids that are used to make robot butts clench. . o O (Clenchenoid, Inc.)

Yelling Bird

THIS IS INFORMATION I MUST POSSESS!

Errol Lobo

That Emmett face has killed me and resurrected me.

Spacey02111

amazing

David F

Omg. Emmett’s face in the last frame.

Michael Boettger

The great butt clench conspiracy of 2022!

Miyaa

At least Faye understands. That’s good.
