** Ayomide. After a reasonable introduction, readers fell into two camps. Either she was a dumbass constantly screwing up who persistently needed validation and understanding despite all her issues being her own fault, or she was a highly-relatable college dropout who deserved sympathy.
** Liz. Introduced around the same time as Ayomide, she's another socially-broken grating screwup, when many readers think that Ayomide was already more than enough in that department.

** Liz. A socially-broken screwup, or a misunderstood genius? Not helping matters was her continued insistence on getting drunk and repeated sexual harassment, particularly when her character design made her look like a child.

* AssPull: Many readers feel this way about Marten's suddenly deciding to open his own coffee shop in Cubetown, despite having absolutely no resources, aptitude or relevant experience.



** Claire. Is she an extraneous cast member in a crowded comic who doesn't bring anything new and is designed to pander to the audience, or is she a good personality and another positive way for Jacques to introduce more LBGT characters into 'mainstream' web comics? She is now in a relationship with Marten, which has the two sides claiming that she's being pushed so hard to pander to the base, or that she's just being treated as her own character respectively.

She is now in a relationship with Marten, which has the two sides claiming that she's being pushed so hard to pander to the base, or that she's just being treated as her own character respectively. As noted below under CreatorsPet, this attitude among her detractors only deepened with the start of the Cubetown plot-arc.

** Elizabeth Appleboom is in many ways a horrible person due to her arrogance and lack of social skills, but readers and people in-setting who put up with her for a few minutes discover that her FriendlessBackground and InferioritySuperiorityComplex make her much more sad then monstrous -- and breaking out of that mindset is a long job for her.

** In TheRant to [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=108 "Mysterious Tattoo" (strip 108)]], the author says, "I can't rule out the possibility, but I am pretty certain [Dora [[spoiler:flashing Marten off-screen]]] is the most risque QC is ever going to get." Five years later, [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1334 "NSFW Content" (strip 1334)]] and the author's commentary thereon [[BrickJoke drop a thermonuclear TMI on this prediction.]]

** The conversation in [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1300 this page]]. Dora jokes that she thought Marten might want to break up with her and date "a girl with a penis." [[spoiler: Marten's next girlfriend? Claire, a trans woman]].
** In [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2262 comic 2262]], Angus jokes to his then-girlfriend Faye "I'm just saying, if you gotta break up with me, at least leave me for a girl." To which Pintsize adds, "Leave him for a robot! A GIRL robot!" Well, later on Faye breaks up with Angus and subsequently meets Bubbles. Then comes comic 3075, in which May ends her advice to Faye about getting through to Bubbles by saying "And if you two eventually bone down, I want pics of her outta her armor." These things also come to pass.
** And for another instance of future prediction, [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=211 this guest comic]] predicts all three of Faye's future romance arcs at once.
** In [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2768 this comic]], they speculate about Sven being an evil psychic asshole. The title is Marvel's Newest Villain. Then came Series/{{Jessica Jones|2015}} and Kilgrave.

*** In [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2216 comic 2216]], after Marten trains the new library interns including his future girlfriend Claire, Tai brings up the idea of hooking up with interns and Marten insists that he had no such intention. In the next comic Faye mischievously asks him "So which one are you gonna bang?", prompting the exasperated response, "Why is everybody assuming I'm gonna bang one of 'em?!" The author's rant for it is "Totally poking fun at everybody who assumes Marten is gonna hook up with one of the interns." Well, guess what the author does anyway?
** On Faye's relationships:
*** In [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=211 number 211]], a guest comic by Stirling, Faye wonders if instead of trying to date Marten, "Maybe [...] I should find some man, woman, or dare I say robot, to be with." Whereupon she rejects an overture from Pintsize, saying "Once you go Mac, you never go back." It's just a silly and out-of-canon joke, but thousands of strips later she ends up dating Bubbles who's both a woman and a robot.
