Doing Research

It took me rereading thos because Mr rereading the whole series has caught up to Patreon to realize he's asking because Eliot is much taller than him. I'm an idiot

Yes, dancing is complicated!

Jason Zions

Friends don't let friends skip Leg Day.

Vic or Vyxter

omg so CUTE!!!

Are you asking for volunteers?

Here it is: "c".

Ruth Merriam

I could squee a thousand times over Bub's face in that last panel. Also, my 1st husband was over a foot taller than me. He liked to pick me up and sling me over his shoulder when I couldn't keep up with him. Smooching led to neck cramping.

Photon

I'm sure Elliot could just do a deep lunge or squat for handy smoochin'. Assuming he hasn't been neglecting Leg Day!

Randall Norman Pick

Get used to kissing the head. Casual liplock is enough of a logistic challenge to stop being casual.

Joe

the look on Bubs in the last panel ...

David Howe

From experience of having a much smaller g/f - it makes spooning much easier, and when they are sitting in your lap, your faces are pretty much level, You DO have to learn to take tiny little steps instead of great strides when walking though.

Hedda

I lurk, I do not comment, but this was all the loveliness. My heart, it burst!

Cole Blackblood

Awwwww!

Comics Ladybird

“Asking for a friend. Well, maybe more than a friend”.

Maurice Kessler

That might just be my favorite last-panel of this entire series.

this is the cutest qc ever omfg

FuryoftheStars

I think less of either and more of "asking for a friend". :P

Bubs is da greatest

Sparky

Pure of heart

Zwischen_Welten

Hi, tall gorl here, my boyfriend is a good foot or so shorter than me and it’s PERFECT because when we spoon our bodies just fit together and I wrap around him like a mother cat 😂

so adorable!

cakecake

Well done Jeph that is the MAXIMUM CUTEST Bubbles has ever been in the fourth panel. Holy shirtballs that little crooked smile is so freaking adorable omg omg omg thank you for this blessing

Mattezhion Zane Corgan Campbell

That face in the 4th panel is so remarkable because of the contrast against the sternly impressive face in the 3rd panel. Genius!

KCkittysnores

Neither stalking a stranger at her place of work, nor “not taking advantage” of a woman who has catastrophically lost her home, her personal property, and her job in a single event, get anyone “props”.

Bagge

Clinton is pretty pure of heart. and still he's not the cinnamon bun in that particular potential relationship

Martin Trebuch

his pureness of heart made me "awww" too, to be fair ...

Martin Trebuch

sorry, but: no duh, of course! XD

John Ridley

I think Clinton is curious because of a similar height difference between him and Elliot

Daniel Blom Paulsen

The sheer adorableness of Bubbles's face in the last panel could power several cities.

darklion

When I met my foot-shorter-than-me fiancee, I never once thought about this kind of physical aspect. All I could think about was how cute she was.

Am Queue

Hi Doug! It's cool to find people I know reading this!

Nick Hodgson

Marigold trying the Chika dance?

Peter Jensen

"There will be no dancing". https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3762

lazymagpie

Clinton, you absolute dork XD

Miyaa

Speaking of dancing, have we ever seen Faye & Bubbles dance? I mean if there’s ever a Questionable Content the RPG, we’re going to need some /dance moves.

Darnel D Cooper

Actually,.. I think bubbles understands May much more than is openly admitted. She probably has a "translation program running to determine what may means when she says something. (Meh, why am I tearing up?)

Brooks Moses

Well, yes. I remember a couple of people surmounting Bubbles, even. (And not in the way you and Pintsize are thinking!)

Darnel D Cooper

Sad that I'm not surprised at Clintons question,..... Sigh. Yes, in his own way he is "pure of heart" he stalked Hannalore w/o recognizing his hero-worship could be seen as stalking, He took no advantage of Brun even though it was presented, he is too much of a nerd to offend anyone on purpose, and now he is trying to feel his way blindly into a relationship. Props Clinton.

Some Ed

Actually, considering that he's not the tall one in the prospective match he's thinking about, and the tall cinnamon bun he's contemplating being with would never intentionally complain about it even if it did turn out to be an issue. Still, I suppose, if Clinton's a long term planner and wanting to avoid possible waits in orthopedic waiting rooms (specifically spine specialists), maybe he is being selfish.

Drakoo Dreamer

does anyone else want just a dancing compilation, Faye and Bubs, Pintsize, Hannalor just doing some ballet, or Marigold just doing some anime dance?

True

Daniel S

Oh, he's not pure of heart, he just sees an opportunity...

Larry

I would in no way describe Clinton as "deft".

Populuxe

I was worried Clinton might be gaining some chill. Glad to see I was wrong.

Richard

That big empty room had to fill up with something!

Hugh Eckert

For me, dancing is always complicated.

DVW

Oh please Jeph we all know Clinton can't dance

Ami

:3

Andrew Mitchell

Indeed he is! That's my second fav thing about this strip. The first is, of course, Bubbles' face. <3

Grace Kieser

It took Jeph nearly 3 years from hints of Faybles to their first kiss. He's a master of antici....pation!

Can Clinton and Elliot just be boyfriends already?

Onyx

Hahahha agreed!

Halley

This is the cutest comic you have ever written, and I love it. Thank you

Pejo

Knowing roughly how tall Jeph is, I'm now wondering how tall his SO is.

Onyx

ok, that was very sweet in a way that I didn't know Clinton could be sweet.

Pejo

*raises the horny red card in front of Bob*

Shane Wegner

I’m now curious about the calibration and inner workings of Bubbles’ Impurity Estimation Matrix.

Pejo

I took that as him just still getting comfortable w/ the idea of dating Elliot, not that he was gonna ask Bubbles how she & Faye boink. I don't think he course corrected at all.

Shane Wegner

B-but Willow and Clinton are about the same height ::tears well up::

Pejo

Is it just me or does that read as "dude" to anyone else? Not exclusive to dudes, of course, but I feel like the need to anticipate questions like that, & the ego to be that sure you got it right when you didn't, is very much a thing men do more than women.

Leugi

I feel like Claier is squeeeing harder than ever rn out of nowhere and she doesn't even know why.

Fulton

That was so sweet

Simon Green

Also true fact: teenage me spent a loooooooot of time thinking about Scully.

Simon Green

Not having to *try* in order to smoosh your face into boobs would be great!

Tamara Macadam

ohhhhhhh *honey*

Dkrewe

I'm 6'1 and I have dated someone who was literally short enough that the top of his head didn't even reach my chest. It's only awkward the first month or two then it just felt normal and natural. Of course, if he wanted to the "big spoon" it was a bit funny but that was it.

Danya Michael

No, Bubbles, that was exactly what he wanted to ask, for a VERY specific reason. :3

C-Cubed

He knows that there’s a golden opportunity for a crass joke and that he’s missing it.

Mad Marie

As one who has never managed to date anyone taller than my nose, I have always been curious about the other side of things. #littlespoonenvy

Dylan T

I can feel that look from panel 3 *burning through the fourth wall*

Dean Reilly

True fact: when they were making The X-Files, Gillian Anderson would have to stand on a box during her scenes with David Duchovny due to the difference in their heights. Perhaps Clinton could look into a similar solution?

Ted Van Roekel

As a 6'3" mountain of humanity who has dated two women in the the barely 5 foot range, it is indeed a tricky and often uncomfortable conundrum. Though not, obviously, insurmountable.

Mad Marie

Welllll let’s just say that hitting one’s head repeatedly on the headboard can be a real mood killer...

Todd Chaikin

Ooooo they're gonna get together

all in his head tho

Chris Sims

So much squeee

Jimmy Thorsell

My dreamship...is....setting sail!!! 💕💕💕😁

CAME HERE TO SAY THIS! Squeeeee!

Katrina Urmson

OMG Bubbles face!!! ❤️❤️❤️

Thisguy

Sharp observation.

Captain Button

Somewhere, Pintsize feels frustrated outrage and does not know why.

tamtheotter

Oh wait!! Bubs & Elliott are thr same height!

Todd Ellner

Pure. Definitely pure.

Yonatan Zunger

I am now totally imagining two people making out with Korobeiniki playing in the background. Or maybe "A complete history of the Soviet Union, sung to the melody of Tetris."

Jawes

See, now I imagine May wanting to ask a "physical" question about Faye and Bubbles that ends up with May needing body repairs...

LH

i'm pretty sure she knows about Elliot.

Sal Evans

As a wlw, i find it less awkward than similar heights since it reduces the amount of boob tetris you have to play when making out.

Teacup

I'm shorter than my significant other, and they do this to me all the time. Frankly, it's adorable and I think it should be done by everyone who can

BobC

NO BARRETTES?!! BOB WANT BARRETTES!

Clinton, "I'm not pure! It's just... Elliott is so much taller than me and I don't want him to feel awkward if we... and I just wanted to know from another tall person if.. and... wait, what did you think I was going to ask???"

Stéphane Lapie

(Slight typo: significane -> significance) And awwww.

Doug DeJulio

Oh man, I've been on the "tall" end of this. Don't worry, Clinton, you'll make it work.

Andrew

This might get Bubbles wondering if Clinton is talking about a tall AI... May? Crushbot?

Alcaria Swain

This comic makes my heart glad

Captain Button

When you hug them, you can rest your chin on the top of their head. But probably shouldn't.

Kyle Major

That question may be more selfish due to his own love life

SingingTurtles

Oh clinton you sweet pure boy <3

That's an interesting and cute facial expression from Bubbles in panel 4

Asking for the benefit of his own friendly giant!!

ducksauz

Awwww... so sweet!

Grace Kieser

If he did, he'd follow it up with "...who is me. I am the friend."

holding hands is tricky, smooching involves a lot of lifting, and banging is fine cause everythings the same height laying down! SOURCE im 6'9

Michael Boettger

And Clinton pulling on his shirt collar indicates he realized where this could lead. And beat a hasty retreat.

KingAtticus

I applaud him for not saying “asking for a friend”

Grace Kieser

Today we learned that Clinton is as much a cinnamon bun as Elliot

I love them both.

magus424

missing a 'c' in significance in panel 2

TMN

I love Bubbles trying and failing to anticipate his course of conversation twice.

Andrew

Shipwreck avoided!

So pure 🥰

Michael Boettger

Oh my god! Bubble's face in panel 4!

Michael

Asking the serious questions.
