I had a big laugh with “This baby scientist was found

I think I worked with a few at NASA Ames. One should never

I hope Jeph is going for a cast herd type comic like Something
Positive. Moving everyone to Cubetown seems a bit too "We ran out

Frankly I still think he should run with the idea of Marten as a
therapist. Maybe he could do that as a barista.
From Jeph's latest Patreon post:

I’ve seen some speculation that the comic is wrapping up- that is not
the case. I have no plans to end QC. The comic has changed focus many
times over the course of its lifespan. That’s what has kept it
interesting for me, over all these years. Sending Marten and Claire to
Cubetown looks to be just another one of those shifts. Which is funny,

barely do anything with Marten anymore, and he’s in a good place with
Claire. It might be time to give them a ride into the sunset since they
don’t seem to be the focus of my interest these days.” Then I started gathering all the threads together for this story, and suddenly Marten
was fun to write again and I had a million ideas for Cubetown and welp I

being wrong (see above), but so far I’m having fun switching between
