this is perfect

Slashplane

So I need to refresh my resume and such. A variant of that may find it's way in. The last part, I mean.

Tim Keating

Upon rereading it, I feel this may be the single funniest QC strip of all time.

Simon Green

I once farted really loudly in an empty aisle. Conscious of my mistake, I exclaimed "Oh dude, that stinks!" and left the aisle. As I passed the wide-eyed woman in the next aisle I told her not to go back there for a while, my mate is a filthy bastard. Pretty sure I got away with it.

Alex Mullenix

My girlfriend is an archivist who is having to apply to library jobs due to the job market. She did not like this advice.

SC

great strip!

Trigon Manthree

Lemme just burn these business cards that say "Jeff Jacks - Office Bitch"

As a library worker, I can say that this is all accurate and correct.

Cole Blackblood

Ngl I would read the moms' book lol

Jere

So many jokes in this one, sooo Many, its like its MF Cookie Time :D <3

I've missed Marten. I love all the arcs, but that adorable idiot -chef kiss-

Solomon Garland

Not saying this has given me an idea for my next writing project, but I'm also not saying it hasn't.

Solomon Garland

If they're both the Contessa who's the handsome scion? Do they take turns?

Stephen Wells

Brain tickles.

Yonatan Zunger

"The Pegging Congress" is either the best or the worst slashfic of the coming year.

Nick Hodgson

I got an interview at place that I put something akin to 'I need money to live' in the 'why do you want to work here' text box. Unfortunately it turned out to be door-to-door sales. (Very generic and ambiguous job advert)

Bagge

This is it - the cutest QC strip ever. Extremely hard competition, but yet here we are. Claire's faces throughout Marten's teasings. He could just as well tickle her for the same effect.

Stephen Wells

Contessa, not Congress, you evil machine.

Stephen Wells

...we need to see Claire in costume as the Pegging Congress. And also Marten, same costume.

Daryl Sawyer

He pops up here and there. Another place I remember him was when he defused the akwardness during his first time drinking with Angus.

Ack

Claire's facial expressions make this comic.

TMN

Jeph how happy are you that you don't have to write cover letters anymore?

Hugh Eckert

It is good to see Marten in full-on creative goofball mode again.

BobC

I'm confused. From whence did this whimsical Marten arise? What molecules are populating his neural pathways? May I have some? Puhleeeeeez?

Thomas A. Dennis

I would hire someone who wrote that letter in a hot second, if I were a) working at a public library, b) doing the hiring, and c) they weren't kidding about the contessa book.

Daniel S

And don't forget the rejection rejection letters: "I'm sorry, but at this time we cannot accept your rejection. See you Monday."

Populuxe

I believe Jimbo wrote that one.

bruitist

So, uh, where might one find books about such a contessa? Or are they restricted to mums?

Alex Borders

Squee! Marten and Claire! Christmas came early!

Alex Borders

Yes, please!!!! Extra poofy hair is almost as awesome as sex-hair!

Mark Thomas

that aren't permanent. could have taken it out for any number of reasons. long as you don't keep it for multiple days at a row, it'll pop right back in

Magic Chopstick Games

Dear future direct reports,

Simran Khalsa

Totally adorkable.

Dean Reilly

I don't know. Tai would probably prefer someone with experience doing library science drunk, high, and/or in the nude.

Michael

They display several relationship goals

Autographedcat

I am here for every single one of Claire's facial expressions in this sequence!

Anthony Gaglianese

Casual library nudity is nothing to be ashamed of, at least in typical college circles. Public libraries may have 'standards', but in the research I have done into the subject, college campus libraries tend to have the required maturity level and diminished foot traffic to make it work.

Scotty

What happened to Claire's septum piercing?

Yonatan Zunger

As someone else who has sat on employee selection committees, the drugs and nakedness part was one of my favorite parts, so YMMV.

Pejo

Worm meta reference? Explain for us uninitiated?

Am Queue

I'm sure they've taken a break from the couch, for the bed.

They’ve been sitting on this couch for DAYS!!

William Burns

As someone who has sat on employee selection committees, 90% of this works. Just omit the drugs and nakedness part and you're gold.

Miyaa

So now it’s goofy things with Claire and Marten week? Will Claire’s hair get extra poofy?

Sleepy John

Every bloody time I've hunted for a job, the rules for covers and resumes and references have totally changed. Go with it, the whole thing/

EnterTheHero

They need to stop being so goddamn adorable, I swear.

Mark Thomas

I LOVE the Worm meta reference! Well done that!

Cliff

The last sentence is such a power move. I want to do something like it for my next corporate job.

If I remember correctly, he used to date Dora from the coffee shop that Bubbles goes to and Faye used to work at. I *also* think he might be Faye's roommate? He also used to (still does?) work with Tai and Emily.
