** When Liz blows off Faye's recovering alcoholism with "Not my problem, just don't drink?" [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5204 "Get. THE FUCK. Outta my shop."]]

** When Liz blows off Faye's recovering alcoholism with "Not my problem, just don't drink?" [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5204 "Get. ''THE FUCK.'' Outta my shop."]]

%%** Emily [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2241 does this]].

--> '''Marigold:''' What am I supposed to WEAR?\\

--> '''Ayo:''' So, like, how does that work? Sexytimes-wise, I mean.\\

--->'''May''': When the fuckin' goose starts shitting out golden eggs, you don't say "wehh animal husbandry is for nerds", you put on your fuckin' '''farmer hat''' and get to suckin' dick behind the chicken coop!
--->'''Dale''': [''pause''] ''What?''
--->'''May''': Sorry, I got too excited and lost control of the metaphor.

%%* MathematiciansAnswer:

%%** Hannelore [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2557 pulls one as well.]]

** According to Word of God, the following characters have been permanently written out of the strip: "Sarah, Ellen, Nat, [[TheWoobie any chance at happiness for Marten]]." There are other cases where this is [[TheBusCameBack averted]], as some characters will disappear for extended periods of time only to reappear hundreds of strips later.
** While Marten himself was slowly building up to this (example [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4260 here.]]) due to Jeph no longer knowing what to do with him, it was later averted after the Cubetown Arc, when suddenly having Marten in an entirely different setting made him easy to write for.

** Marten [[spoiler:ends up finding happiness with Claire]], but as of [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4853 this strip]] it's strongly implied that the two of them are about to be put on a bus. Foreshadowed [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4260 here.]]

%%** Eventually, [[spoiler:Hanners and Winslow]] leave on a journey of self-discovery.

* NobodyPoops: {{Inverted|Trope}}; bodily functions of all types are part and parcel of the characters' daily lives, and are frequently [[JustForPun plumbed]] for ToiletHumour. Hannelore's introduction was when Marten drunkenly mistook the women's restroom at the local bar for the men's, leading him to do his business in a sink and note that he thought the urinal was rather odd-looking when Hanners mentioned it.

* NotADate

%%* MakeMeWannaShout: Yelling Bird, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1566 as its name]] might imply.

%%* NoIndoorVoice: Yelling Bird. It even goes over to MakeMeWannaShout once.

* NarrativeBackpedaling: When Momo asks Marten how he and Pintsize met, Marten [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2333 starts to tell her]] about when he applied for an AnthroPC companion. When the story suddenly veers into [[SexForServices pornographic territory,]] it cuts back to Momo and Marten looking disgustedly at an impish Pintsize. Marten then tells her how the application process actually happened.

%%* NotGoodWithPeople:
%%** Marigold and Hannelore, type 1.
%%** To a ''much'' lesser extent, Dora and Faye, type 2.

* OffModel: As an artist with an [[ArtEvolution evolving art style]], Jeph produces comics from time to time where single characters look a bit strange and then return to their normal self in the next one, such as the brief addition of visible lips for Claire.

* OminousMundanity: Invoked for laughs when Moray is [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4934 showing Claire and Marten around Cubetown]]. She tells them about the industrial, commercial and residential quadrants, and Claire innocently asks what the fourth quadrant is like--after all, if there are quadrants, they must be four of them. Moray replies ominously "WE DON'T TALK ABOUT THE FOURTH QUADRANT."

** The AI head of security at Cubetown is named "Evanescent Incinerator". (Though it quickly turns out the owner of the name is actually an [[NonIndicativeName incompetent very unscary screwup]].)
