My inlaws had a non-working fireplace, and put their tv in it. Since they never used it other than to watch particular things, or rented movies on vhs (yes, it was that long ago), this meant it didn't take up any other room in the room. My husband got them a VHS of a yule log burning for christmas one year, and that was used every year after till my MIL died.

Milo

Hm That pad looks quite similiar to a SNES pad, but the cartridge is more of a N64 one.

Vic or Vyxter

their height difference may possibly kill me, but i'll die happy, so..... kisses? pretty please?!

Some Ed

I think this would fall under a broader umbrella, since he also has the hots for non-robots, like Elliot. Not sure if pansexual is the right term or not.

SpookyPenguin

"Elliot I knead you"

David Durant

Disagree - if you're happily bi why be uncomfortable about liking both sexes?

Chris Warren

This cartoon needs more Aurelia holding hands with Elliot.

Peter Jensen

The desks at work before they remodeled the office (well, more like abandoned and rebuilt across the street) all had an adjustable platform in the corner for the monitor, which you could raise and lower to get the perfect height. Only the mechanism that countered the weight was designed in the CRT days, and it was impossible to adjust the mechanism down to the weight of even the heaviest TFTs. My solution involved wedging a book between the platform and the table to keep it in place, and putting another couple books under the monitor to adjust the height ...

KCkittysnores

You’re dead right. Thank you for pointing that out!

Laurie Voss

Clinton! Referring to the opposite sex when trying to hook up with the same sex is a gay faux pas!

Jim

I have a trintron flatscreen. It weighs about 60 kilos and I nearly gave myself a hernia trying to lift it. That being said, Soul Calibur 3 will only be played on this tv.

Kuragari

I'm waiting for them to hook up in Clinton's bedroom with his mom downstairs.

AcheronYYC

That said, I feel fairly confident they're not going to bone here in a house neither lives in, with Clinton's mom downstairs, when they both have perfectly good bedrooms of their own at home.

Lucas Werkmeister

Elliot is wearing his “you were *nerd popular*” face in panel 4 :3 https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4203

Robert

Ahh, those old CRTs. Until one day...*SNAP* not even a puff of smoke. :( To this day, the desks I build would support a crowd of amazons, even though the monitors can be lifted with one hand.

Michael Voorhis

That's interesting ... what's the advantage of a CRT?

OldGoat

As far as characters boning each other, Jeph makes it a practice to be unpredictable. It may be tomorrow's strip, sometime next February, or not at all. "Do not try to guess the hour of my cumming" and all that stuff.

Jim Feldman

And in the event of a tornado, will hold that part of the house down. I had one too. Used for photo editing. Great colors for the time. Took two people to haul that downstairs.

OldGoat

T-SHIRT! T-SHIRT! T-SHIRT!

KCkittysnores

What the hell is a true boy?

Joseph McGrath

I second!

Ben Russell-Gough

Or, as in Uncharted 4, Aurelia was the fan of retro games and Claire inherited the console from her. Is Claire a secret Crash Bandicoot fan?

Jim

I still have my trinitron crt. It's awesome for playing games on older consoles.

Ben Russell-Gough

The chassis and ONLY the chassis by the looks of it!

Duncan

But what is that AI modelling...?

Unless Claire is secretly 40, reading this in 2021 she would have to be a fan of vintage/retro games :D

Leak

"Knead me like one of your French breads..."

Bill Marcum

But then how would AIs exist? They still have electricity, but it's digital and not compatible with old hardware. Everything uses USB49 or wireless charging.

Dean Reilly

Hollowed-out CRT box used as a fireplace, Terminator style.

hollowsoul

In 2048 retro gaming is incredibly cool. There’s no electricity to power it any more after the crisis; but they sit there pretending to play games on old consoles. Surrounded by the ruins of the world that was.

Chris Crowther

CRTs are preferred by a lot of competitive gamers who play brawlers, iirc.

Ben Russell-Gough

"So, whatever happened to Cindee?" "The last I heard, she's running for re-election as governor of Colorado."

Hrm. Could be a Cylon.

Joseph Bonnar

It's not commonly known, but after her modeling career Cindee-21 decided to give it all up and transferred her brain into a high quality toaster. This toaster is now in Roko's apartment, living happily ever after.

Bagge

Cindee-21 is hot!

"I didn't invite you up here to play video games" *smooch* Plot smooches always happen on Fridays

Onyx

Hahaha Elliot's face in that last panel.

Andrea Andrew

Forget bisexuality. Clinton is now confirmed as a robosexual too (like Faye, Sven, and possibly Brun). 😁😄

Mad Marie

Cindee-19 became an intern for a prominent marine biologist, Cindee-18 teaches intro to civics at the local community college, Cindee-17 and -16 have a magic act that almost made it to Vegas, and Cindee-15 is a successful webcomic artist.

Mad Marie

If we pan further left, do we see Cindee-20, the AI who almost had a modeling career but gave it all up for the chance to pursue her dream of a fulfilling career with the US Postal service?

Captain Button

And per "Dumbing of Age" LOCK IT.

Sierra G

that's what Friday comics are for :)

Thomas Halpin

more freckleblushes are exactly what I wanted from this day.

RadiusUlna

Next page is just them staring at the bed and blushing.

Dylan T

CLOSE THE DOOR YOU BUFFOONS

mshenna

Close the damn door!

And we all got to watch, and lived happily ever after

Randall Norman Pick

They really have a reverse of the usual age dynamic.

KingAtticus

I mean... I get in Clint. She’s pretty cute

Agnes

I forgot that Claire was the older sibling tbh

Daniel Burnett

God dammit Jeph I demand that you make true boys kiss 😂 you tease 😜

Cole Blackblood

Adorable x3

Conrad

I so love Clinton + Elliot!

Absentia

How does it feel to know that Clinton's teenage crush was actually a lot more real to him than most of yours probably were to you?

Darnel D Cooper

Where do I sign up to have Jeph do a Cindee-21 photo spread? (had to edit this 3 times geez.)

Diptych

Some kind of student housing, looks like. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2932

So... where does Clinton live now?

emmavoid

The Nintendo Switch would like to know your location

Tamara Macadam

COME ON

Alex

Please just kiss in the next comic. 😁

Yelling Bird

GODDAMMIT! BANG ALREADY!

The World Famous Chocomerican

AND THEN THEY F- sorry, I got ahead of myself.

doorbender

No. It’s a Meta-4 rocket 🤪😏

Shawn K. Younkin

Can I haz a poster of Cindee-21??

Kajsa Anderson

Because they look like they could be

Buck Caldwell

Cindee-21 is alright, but now we've got the first AI VR CamGirl, Projekt Melody, and I want her to be my girlfriend, so I sympathise with Clinton.

I imagine she's had a body upgrade or two by now. :)

Well, I'm still doing a lot of the same stuff that I did as a teenager* and I'm 66. I guess you're right :) Actually, what makes me cringe is the way I behaved. Nothing seriously bad - I guess I was a typical teenager. * riding motorcycles, doing road trips, getting plastered at the weekend...

Spoogle McGee

I hate to break it to ya Jeph, but in 2021 cartridge gaming is already vintage.

Captain Button

Vintage gaming? You mean like, where you touch things with your actual hands? That can't be sanitary. You could spread Robopox that way!

I wasn't sold on this ship in the beginning, but I am very much on board by now.

Andrew

Sexy robot lady upgrades!

Mandy Shapiro

Oh wild. For some reason I thought Claire and Clinton were twins! I just looked up the wiki to confirm that I am just wrong and Claire is 3 years older. Why did I think they were twins?!
