A Solid "Chthuk"

Julienne Ignace

Fun fact, that's something Steve Jobs did at one point until his skin attained an orange-y hue.

Foreshadowing!

Whew.

She just delivered the tea

It's not just big pharma; it's big lobbyists. Also, when did Hanners begin working at the repair shop?

Honestly don't think I ever viewed the main site without some kind of blocker. The malvertising threat is just too big. I did disable ADP at one point for various webcomics but I still use NoScript for cross-site protection.

Are you my old editor? ;)

Before I discovered patreon I went to the Reddit subforum about QC - typical flaming trashcan over there. People didn't understand the comic but were arguing about it anyway; trolls were gallivanting around; Reddit in a nutshell. I only like Reddit for ghost stories tbh

Zing! Big Pharma is the worst pusherman

The tiny footnote text today made me sad :-(

A lot of times I can't load the page or get redirected away if I visit QC without my adblocker in place. Part of the reason I became a supporter was to help out despite not being able to view the site without blocking ads (the other part was there was a Patreon-exclusive comic at one point, and I don't want to miss those...)

I'm glad you got back safely, Jeph. :)

Timothy Mann

I always hit the site as well just to get him some ad hits. I have all my webcomics whitelisted just for that reason.

Brent Catherman

That's for sure. Corpse Witch had a pretty lucrative operation that didn't attract a lot of unwanted police attention and she'd still be in business if it hadn't been for that meddling cyber god.

Shkreli's problem was he was too blatant about what he was doing. The real pros know to make noises about how hard they're trying to make sure things stay affordable for the consumer, while shaking people down by gradually jacking up the cost covered by insurers (which gets passed on to the consumer and/or the government through the possibly-subsidized insurance premiums).

Hm. Robot pharmaceuticals...

Edward Clayton Andrews

Cthuk... the sound of an Elder God taking a cthit.

I think it was the name of a bar in Swansea.

Firefly Jelly

Chthuk sounds like the domain name for a British Cthulhu cult.

I enjoy it here and in my inbox, since the qc-website is overburdened with Ads, redirecting me without consent.

Mark Hechim

OMG how could you spoil the comments like that. Ruined forever.

Ian Cull

(and now I'll spoil the comments with "promse" instead of "promise" in the first panel ;)

Populuxe

I appreciate you putting this up early, even if it's not the usual 24 hours. I really enjoy reading the strip here on Patreon, not just for the early access, but for the comments. The comments here seem to be a lot better than on the QC site.

The most profitable crimes aren't even illegal.

Rob McBobson

That's so true. Bank robbery is like trying to get healthy by sitting around just eating carrots and nothing but carrots all day.

Holy shit shots fired, Jeff one, big pharma zero.
