Seriously we need a Miltank cameo.

Wild Card

I think she is trying to not laugh. Epic level troll.

Joe

might have had more to do with Jeph needing to avoid brand names

Peter Jensen

Heh, and just as this SMBC comes up today: https://www.smbc-comics.com/comic/vr#comic

I was just coming to comment just how amazing the facial expressions all are.

Logan Nix

the expressions in panels 2 & 3 kill me. Claire's affectionate bemusement turning to utter disbelief... Aurelia's eager attentiveness.... magnifique

dragonkittyrawr

Ok this comic explains why she calls herself a vtuber when everyone I know on Twitch only uses that term as a joke

Yonatan Zunger

This reminds me a bit of when my mother heard a song by the Cherry Poppin' Daddies, and asked me what the name of their band meant. I told her she was too young to know.

Kyle Rudy

Aurelia!! You clean up that desktop right now, young lady!

Hugh Eckert

Furries run the internet.

Yvonne Hanafee

I … do not have to imagine this. It probably could have been worse. My sister repeatedly butting in to insist that it’s entirely a sex thing and never innocent did not help. I’m not a furry, I just really hate people randomly bashing a harmless hobby.

Clifton Royston

I couldn't understand at first why Clare looks so furious in panel 4, but then I thought about how I would feel if I were forced to explain the world of furries to my mother.

I love Aurelia's little *v* face in panel 3 haha

I am horrible for desktop file storage. I routinely upload photos to my gdrive for ebay, then download them to my desktop (just easier than transferring them directly off my phone to my computer - don't judge me), then i forget to move them off my desktop to my "dump drive" aka the drive where all interweb downloads and torrent downloads go...

Robert Tucker

Yes but a subset called scalies

David Durant

Is there an anti-like button....? :-p

Thomas A. Dennis

Are you a furry if your otherkin identity has scales?

John Fiala

God, I love these people. Thank you Jeph.

David Garrett

Did you hear the one about the furry who used heroin? They were a furry with the syringe on top.

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

I know a few Bulls.

Mad Marie

They are…furry?

Amy Cheuka

Furries make the internet work, duh. But as a furry, I accept her into the community. Don't see a lot of cow fursonas

John Ridley

The question "fucking furries, how DOES IT work?" is the next question...

Mark

To paraphrase, "fucking furries, how do they work?" My money is on Aurelia trolling Claire, because it wouldn't be the first time.

David Durant

This became my favourite online space around the start of the pandemic and remains so

Mad Marie

So is “Angies List” actually a dating site for Aziraphiles?

Mad Marie

I love how this community has developed around the comic to the point that so many of us see it as a safe space to be genuine about our own selves. Many spaces—online or off—are nowhere near ready for folks to discuss topics like “what is a furry, anyway?” from the perspective of self-identifying as one. Thanks, Jeph for creating this space and indirectly guiding it through your art; thanks, qc patron community for being you!

Mad Marie

Leafies? Fungies? Algies? Amoebies?

Boots McGoot

panel 3 has ruined me. it's so perfect. my mum's gotten really into Good Omens fanfic and I've had this moment with her a couple of times

As a furry myself, i am fully willing to accept Aurelia as an honorary member of our community,..

Patteroast

Same, big shrug

Ste Saunders

I spend all my time on the internet, watch a fair amount of YouTube videos, and know what furries are. I had no idea about vtubers until they came up in this comic. So Claire's areas of knowledge seem entirely reasonable to me!

Bagge

Marten focuses on the important issues in panel 1

JourneymanWizard

Rabbit hole? I see what you did there...

Nicolas Demers

Well, maybe not expert but... she knows the basics at least?

MikeT

Rule34 in comic form, actualise!

Drakoo Dreamer

NO DON'T TELL HER! She might go down the rabbit hole and never come back!

Todd Ellner

It's always those mammalocentric furries. What about warties? Scalies? Slimies? Shellies?

Omnoms

I know the feeling, 14 years of QC consumption is an interesting thing.

Thomas Halpin

Her desktop looks slightly worse than mine with files stored directly on it. Seems legit.

Andje Lewkowicz-Lalonde

this comic best appreciated with Jephs comments in context.

Randall Norman Pick

I've never agreed with Marten more.

I am the captian now

Praise be to Bleph

Rosilin

This strip is perfection. Thank you, Jeph! 🤣💜

Gotta catch 'em all? All four of them, anyway...... ^_^

Dave, Duke of Fridges

Man, I just realised, I've been regularly reading this for 6 years now. This comic has been RUNNING for my entire life. Christ, jeph

Pejo

Me neither! I thought that was a QC in-universe thing, not IRL too!

Bless you, Jeph.. Bleph

Mandy Hoskins

Honestly, the compartmentalization is believable. I knew people did like "Let's Play"s of video games, but I literally had no idea before this storyline that people streamed themselves playing games with animated avatars. 😆

Pejo

I don't think Aurelia is trolling. She doesn't seem like the trolling type. I think she asked a genuine, sincere question & doesn't realize how ridiculous it is that she missed that. Marten got it--perfect compartmentalization.

Pejo

I GUFFAWED

Vic or Vyxter

Functional prehensile tail. My number one most frequent wish as a child.

Nicole Widrig

Do you wish you could remain yourself (sentient, memories, ability to speak, etc) but with animal features? Do you wish for the wings of a bird, a cat’s grace, the eyes of a hawk, or a dog’s wagging tail? If you would honestly prefer a body with animal features/traits- YOU ARE A FURRY. It doesn’t have to be sexual AT ALL 😹 people focus so strongly on the kink portion, but I shouldn’t be surprised since humans are obsessed with genitals and reproduction 😹

Miyaa

Marten will see how much that chair cost and he’ll take his chances with a Herman Miller chair instead.

Miyaa

I saw a tweet last week that 90% of the people working in IT are furries, trans, or both.

EnterTheHero

“Is it like Pokemon?” …Sometimes?

Noise

This is sort of on the level of someone I know coming up with the idea that "VR could be really great for porn!" ...and then I had to explain the current state of affairs in that regard. Heavily bowdlerized, to keep his brain from exploding. (I finally got to use "bowdlerize" in a sentence!)

Yelling Bird

OH GOD, I WANNA HEAR EVERY GODDAMN WORD OF THIS CONVERSATION FROM THIS POINT FORWARD!

SpookyPenguin

This is how Moms get revenge for those toddler questions isn't it.

Simon Green

PANEL THREE!

Kirby Canvas

I'm a furry and I don't even know.

Onyx

Furry is different, so knowing that family it's possible that she doesn't know - kinda like Claire not knowing what a vtuber is....but knowing what a furry is. They seem to have an amazing ability to know some things but not other related things.

Molly McAllister

Baa-aa?

SingingTurtles

Oh god I can't. This is too funny :D

Magic Chopstick Games

omg I can only DREAM of reaching this level of parenthood, absolutely flawless

Matthew Reiter

Furry = Furfrou?

R. Francis Smith

We can never really be sure

Courtney Kral

Was coming here to cry about her cluttered desktop 🤣

Merle Blue

The answer varies between "yes" and "very yes". It's honestly moved a lot closer to mainstream in the past five years or so.

Thisguy

To be honest. I’m not sure of the exact definition of ‘furry’. I think the definition changes a lot based on the perspective. Can a non furry who only has a base view really know the definition? And does it really matter these days?
