Joe

did someone say "doughnut holes"?? nah. they are donut holes. i.e., they are derived from Dunkin Munchkin deliciousness. hope the truth doesn't offend.

Joe

beat me to it. there's a niche for those who can teach bullied Canadian kids to profit off the attempted abuse.

Ashe C. Addams

the only difference in this comic from when i was growing up is that it's formalized. this hierarchy absolutely existed in every school i went to, it just normally wasn't written down

What a waste of timbits, kids...

hahahaha!

Sparky

The unpopular kids table were jam packed with friends for life. We made it rock. Last of the “popular” I recall was a lawyer for the monster girlfriend of Jeffrey Epstein. “One of us!” to cherish & protect. Yay Sam

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Back in the 70s there was a herd that sometimes followed me through the halls and stabbed me with thumbtacks thru my shirt.

Kat.mov

They/Them Pronouns and Oversized body hiding hoodie... I feel personally attacked/Seen

Mad Marie

Blackboard paraphernalia is still better than the slate itself being broken over your head by a feisty Canadian hooligan in red pigtails…

Mad Marie

Apparently Timbits were also launched at Emmett…

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

Hopefully NOT Tim’s bits… (especially since he’s been dead since 1974… ewe!)

Sean Morgan

Tim Horton's pale, inferior attempt at Munchkins XD

during an exam at my school, someone threw a bottle of cocoa across the room, someone in the middle caught it without even looking, then just opened it and drank it, sounds like you two could be friends XD

Sarah

But could Emmett eat the Timbits? In middle school I had a burger thrown at my head. It was full wrapped and untainted so I shouted thanks and very dramatically started eating it. For being such a giant dork, I had some badass moments.

Rob McBobson

But Faye was the first one to use "they/them" in the comic, not Sam. Not the first one in this day's strip; I mean the first one in total.

Nicholas

Doughnut holes.

Rob Vary

Faye can probably just pick it up from how Sam referred to them.

Brad Kirkwood

de fek are Timbits?

Now i really want Timbits.

Thomas A. Dennis

I’d try to catch the Timbits in my mouth.

Chris Crowther

I just had to look up what a "timbit" was. When I was at school it was blackboard erasers, rubbers*, and scrunched up sheets of paper (if you were lucky). I am old or something. * The British kind...not the American kind. Although...

Rob McBobson

Okay, so I'm gonna assume that Emmett uses "they/them" and the reason we didn't see Faye get told this is because it was more efficient storytelling to skip that part. Fair enough.

Daryl Sawyer

When I was a boy, we didn't have these "Timbits". So instead, I got little wads of paper flicked at my head.

Gabriel Nichols

Or just the way of the whip ... those work too

Daniel Rydberg

Jeph is so good at micro expressions. I really like Faye in panel 4, you really can see how she feels it unbelievable.

Pejo

guh forgot about the cutting scars, poor Emmett

Steve DeGroof

Mmmm, Timbits...

Joseph Houk

State Energy Commission?

Mad Marie

Nobody tosses a dwarf.

Todd Ellner

Ah yes, survival through camouflage, anonymity, hiding, and scrubbing all personal characteristics, even from friends. There's a good chance there are cutting marks under that hoodie and a villain associated for every one of them. High school sucks hog testicles.

Danielle Church

yesss enby confirmed

Jeffrey Anderson

I don't know about everybody else but when I first encountered QC I too did a binge from the beginning. Probably wouldn't hurt to do it again some day to remember everyone again.

Maybe they were the Beiber timbits? Those need to be yeeted into the sun.

RobZ

I just want to say I binge read this whole series from the 1st comic to now in about a week and a half because of an out of context panel I saw and that has been one hell of a journey! I love your work man!

Bagge

Can't leave proper bullying unorganized

Pejo

Any other college sports fans think Southeastern Conference first? ...Just me?

Pejo

It is. Sam's their friend & it's what she uses.

Pejo

It happens as we age

Absentia

I'm seeing continuous they/them pronouns for Emmett. Is it safe to assume nonbinary yet?

Miyaa

High school is so bad now it’s recreating the Indian caste system. Great.

Redd Slym

Well now theyre in Massachussetts so they're more likely to get Munchkins thrown at them I guess

Viktor

Abuse victim, unpopular kid in public schools, same basic result.

I'm so here for Sam and Emmett. Like I want a spinoff series!

Scott Vogel

Asking the important questions.

I think there are videos online about maple syrup...

Mad Marie

I can think of quite a few Canadian stereotypes that would be a lot worse to have someone throw at you. (Some examples: Poutine, Maple Syrup, Back Bacon, Hockey Pucks, Justin Trudeau)

Mad Marie

Timbits are donut holes from the ubiquitous Canadian chain Tim Horton’s.

Terry Parry

Someone please explain the joke to me?

Lenore J Jones

No, a Timbit is a donut hole (small round fried delight), as branded by Tim Horton's coffee and donut chain, mostly in Canada. Tim Horton was a Hall of Fame ice hockey player. The chain he co-founded is extremely popular in Canada. There are a few stores in the U.S. as well.

Mad Marie

would probably turn over the SEC’s lunch table.

Carl Fink

Emmet's body language says "abuse victim" pretty loudly, at least to me.

Carl Fink

Yeah, I was 5' 10" in 8th grade. After I casually knocked the bully out of my way, nobody physically bothered me. Never wanted to hang with the cool kids, so their ignoring me was appreciated (which probably confused them). Mind you, I hated high school and left early.

Chris Magnelli

Damn they got a social credit score in highschools already

Mad Marie

Is that the disembodied robutt at the bottom of panel 1?

Fart Captor

Well, Sam's using "they/them", and Sam would know

Brian Scott

Are Emmett’s pronouns they/them or are they too shy to talk about themselves in that way and everyone’s just using they/them until they bring it up?

Fart Captor

That seals it, Emmitt is definitely non-binary and adorable and I love them

KCkittysnores

Is a timbit amything like a timtam?

Tamara Macadam

jesus

Ace of Hearts

whipping timbits is totally a thing Canadian kids would do and was probably done to me at some point.

Tyler

The decline of Tim's as a fast food chain has inversely affected their product's viability as projectiles: their once fluffy Timbits are now dense and stiff.

Cory Thorp

You need the right Timbits though. Powdered ones are fun and all, but a day-old sour cream is a true throwing Timbit.

Michael Boettger

High school cliques are the nearest thing to purgatory on earth. The only response is to be the best version of yourself and cut them out of your life. Sam your course is clear. Veronica, it's time to start educating Sam in the way of the whiplash tongue.

KingAtticus

Emmett said something we could understand! That’s some good progress of them feeling more at ease. You’re with some solid folks, kid ☺️

kaitou

TUMBUTTS!

JD

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Either that, or Sam just can't tell what gender they are because they hide in their hoodie so much and are too quiet.

Elberik

I got through high school by being 6ft tall & shoving someone out of my way when I was a freshman. It grew in the telling (from other people) so that, by the time I was a sophmore, people thought I lifted the kid off the ground with one hand & shoved him up against a locker. Moral: be kinda scary so students will leave you alone. And behave in class so the teachers will leave you alone.

Jaron Mortimer

Bro Timbits are no fuckin joke, especially if they've been sitting out all day.

Chelsea

Seems confirmed Emmett is non-binary? Or at least that their pronouns are they/them. That’s cool to get a gender non-conforming teen into the strip :)
