Lemon slices? Normal ingredients present at any cafe. Whiskey? [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1249 Can you say "Emergency Bourbon"?]] All they need is a bottle of bitters and they're set! -- @/RobinZimm
* I just realized: Hannelore's apartment and Marten/Faye's apartment have the same keys! Think about it: [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1884 Faye ended up in Hannelore's apartment without realizing (even though the door was locked)]] and 100 strips later [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1984 Hannelore appears in Marten's apartment]] with no explanation.

* Rereading the strip, I noticed a pretty massive brick joke; in [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=175 this strip]], Marten describes Dora as a "Vespa, crashing into a stop sign." [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=720 545 strips later...]]
** Oh, it gets better than that. [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=685 Sven is on the receiving end of it long before Vespavenger comes after Steve.]]
* In [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1011 #1011]], when Hannelore's dad sends her a humanoid robot to act as a practice boyfriend, Faye mentions that "you don't see fully humanoid robots running around everywhere" -- which confused me for a moment, because in [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1996 #1996]], Marigold is buying such a chassis for Momo from a storefront in the local mall. Until I realized that (a) ''you don't'' -- Momo is the only one we've seen on the street so far in the comic; and (b) given that in [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1311 #1311]] it was ''winter'', it's probably been at least four months ... presumably long enough for [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1012 a mature prototype]] to enter production.

* It indeed seemed to be a long time coming, if you analysis the contributors to the [[spoiler: break up. One will realize that they stem from certain personality traits and personal issues (some pretty deep seated) that belong to Marten and Dora. These traits were already revealed from past humorous situations and many events which were played for laughs at the time hinted at the deep seated issues (which can now be realized in hindsight). When these traits manifested during their time together, it started to seriously damage the relationship.]]

* The drastic personality changes Dora in ''QuestionableContent'' underwent during her relationship with Marten used to aggravate me, seeing as she went from being sassy and confident to insecure, clingy and almost manipulative at times. Then I realized that she had always shown hints of insecurity and indecisiveness in her personality, but it only started to show when she got to know Marten better, and trusted him enough to let her imperfections and faults become apparent.

** Jimbo the trucker writing well-selling romance novels for females? Seems unbelievable at the first glimpse. However, if you happen to be familiar with this topic, you'll know that many of these novels are essentially "emotion porn" and tend to have many scenes about women being overwhelmed by aggressive hypermasculine men. Not surprising that a redneck trucker will know better about this than a hipster NiceGuy.
