History Awesome / QuestionableContent

--> ''Claire''': What do I think? What I think is this young lady has been in crisis since she got here, and the fact that she was able to conceal it for so long speaks to [[TheReasonYouSuckSpeech the gross negligence of the people nominally in charge!]]

* Faye putting the fear of God in Applebloom after she runs her mouth a little too much and hits Faye's BerserkButton.
--> '''Applebloom''': If I can't party in bars, that means I have to engage in illicit, underage partying! Just like normal people my age!

--> '''Applebloom''': Why not?

--> '''Applebloom''': [[LackOfEmpathy So don't drink]]. Not ''my'' problem.

--> ''(Applebloom runs off)''

* Meta-examples for Jeph himself. Aside from doing the comic and attending various conventions, Jeph regularly worries about his physical and mental health. One night when Jeph had no idea what to do for a comic, somebody on Twitter told Jeph to [[http://twitter.com/#!/jephjacques/status/121129943290740736 start drinking again, if that's what it takes]]. Predictably, this only made Jeph feel much, much worse. But instead of letting it get him down, he actually managed to [[ItsPersonal turn the insult into]] [[http://twitter.com/#!/jephjacques/status/121135665831350272 motivation to get a comic done]]
** A second example: Jeph decided to take a mental health day off, and instead made some [[http://jephjacques.com/post/11901661269/filler-drawing-that-ended-up-not-being-filler Flashdance-inspired Hannelore art to fill in]]. And then he decided to do a regular comic anyway, ''for the same day''.
** As another meta example, there's TheRant written below [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=740 this strip.]] A [[WallOfText long]], yet deserved TakeThat to the Comic Book Ghetto. Oh, hell yeah.

* Speaking of Angus, he gets one in [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1724 this strip]] where [[spoiler: he suddenly kisses Faye after Faye comments about how people are sometimes full of surprises]] and ends up [[spoiler: not only [[PostKissCatatonia rendering Faye completely speechless]] but also snagged a date with her as well]]. Gotta admire the sheer chutzpah on that dude.

* Hannelore's [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2146 birthday gift to her dad]]. [[spoiler: Not even a drunken Lieutenant Porter can ruin the moment.]]

* Dora's ''brutal'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [[spoiler: Faye]] after [[spoiler: catching her drinking on the job.]] In one paragraph, she systematically [[{{Deconstruction}} rips apart the "quirks"]] that have been a hallmark of [[spoiler: Faye's]] personality ([[spoiler: such as being snarky, mean to customers, insubordinate, and grouchy to the other workers at the coffee shop]]), pointing out that, instead of them being funny, [[spoiler: her]] actions are getting tiresome. The entire situation, in context, is a tearjerker, but props to Dora for saying what needed to be said.

* [[spoiler: Faye finding her last secret bottle of alcohol…[[WhatYouAreInTheDark and then pouring it down the drain.]] There is hope for you yet, Whitaker.]]

* Faye returns to Coffee of Doom and is so disturbed by the changes in the place that she buys herself a bottle of whisky, but then Bubbles insists on accompanying her home, and just stands there in silence as Faye prepares to drink. [[spoiler: After a ''massive'' internal struggle, Faye doesn't drink the whisky and just [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3258 beats the hell out of a punchbag]] instead, admittedly while weeping with frustration and self-hatred. On her return to work she walks straight up to Bubbles and gives her a huge hug.]]

-->Next comic follow up: [[spoiler: I could rip you apart, tear out your mind substrate, and crush it to dust in my hands. There is nothing you could do to stop me.... I choose not to.]]

* After Hannelore discovers that [[spoiler:her mother hired Tilly on as her PA so that she could gain a stepping stone in a business deal]], she has Tilly fly them to her mother's office, barges into the middle of a meeting, throws everyone out, and [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3638 reads her mother the goddamn riot act,]] capping it off by telling her mother to not ever contact her again unless Hannelore initiates it herself. All in all, pretty damn impressive for the resident worrywart.

* After [[spoiler: Bubbles and Faye]] ''finally'' hook up, Pintsize makes a crass comment. Marten assumes that [[TheBigGuy Bubbles]] is about to destroy him, but instead, Bubbles grabs him Hamlet-style by the head and psychoanalyzes his actions, pointing out that his behavior is just a sign of discomfort with the situation and low self-esteem.

* Basilisk [[spoiler: quitting the police force because she hates the fact that she had to reassure May that she wouldn't punish her for being rude to her.]]

* It's not technically in the continuity of the comic itself, but [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1961 it's hard to imagine an image more awesome than this.]] A tiny bird [[GunsAkimbo dual-wielding machine pistols]] [[CrazyAwesome riding a tiger]] [[ItMakesSenseInContext (while presumably high on bath salts that he snorted out of said tiger's rectum)]] while fireworks go off in the background.

* Dora's ''brutal'' TheReasonYouSuckSpeech to [[spoiler: Faye]] after [[spoiler: catching her drinking on the job.]] In one paragraph, she systematically [[{{Deconstruction}} rips apart the "quirks"]] that have been a hallmark of [[spoiler: Faye's]] personality ([[spoiler: such as being snarky, mean to customers, insubordinate, and grouchy to the other workers at the coffee shop]]), pointing out that, instead of them being funny, [[spoiler: her]] actions are [[RealityEnsues getting tiresome.]] The entire situation, in context, is a tearjerker, but props to Dora for saying what needed to be said.

** Look at {{The Rant}} too; given Jeph's history, it makes it a bit of a {{Heartwarming Moment}} as well.

** It's impressive to see that even though Hannelore has inherited a bit of her mother's ruthless side, she uses it for far better purposes.

* After Hannelore discovers that [[spoiler:her mother hired Tilly on as her PA so that she could gain a stepping stone in a business deal]], she has Tilly fly them to her mother's office, barges into the middle of a meeting, throws everyone out, and [[CallingTheOldManOut reads her mother the goddamn riot act,]] capping it off by telling her mother to not ever contact her again unless Hannelore initiates it herself. All in all, pretty damn impressive for the resident worrywart.
