You thought QC was just a cute slice-of-life with [[CuteMachines adorable sci-fi elements?]] Well, these are everyday people with [[AdultFear serious everyday problems]], and occasionally the comic veers into the darker realms of speculative fiction. [[NightmareFuel It's not always pleasant.]]

* [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2467 The Spider Zone.]] It's not even so much the spiders still crawling all over Sam that makes it viscerally terrifying, it's the ThousandYardStare on Sam and Faye.

** Hanners has a very similar expression when she finally [[spoiler:tells off her mother]]. Just Jeph’s drawing style, or a telling foreshadow of some later revelation regarding Grandpa AI’s experiments?

Corpse Witch is a goddamn monster

Added DiffLines:

* When introduced, Corpse Witch seems like a DeathBringerTheAdorable counterpart to [[FluffyTheTerrible Bubbles]], with a cutesy pink chassis and a simple line-and-two-dots face. Bubbles' retelling of going to CW for help with her memories shows how unintentionally horrifying that "cutesy" chassis and [[TheBlank mostly featureless face]] actually are, with CW obscured by shadow and sporting GlowingEyesOfDoom in [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3377 one strip]], and the [[https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3378 next strip]] shows CW and the encryption key to Bubbles' memories, with her face just far enough in frame to show a single eye and the edge of a [[TheUnSmile predatory smile]].

* There's something slightly eerie about seeing [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2881 Pintsize completely powered down]]. Doubles as a {{TearJerker}} and a sign of just how bad things have gotten.
* A rather philosophical bit of NightmareFuel: Faye and Bubbles speculate on the possibility of an omniscient AI, and [[http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3240 the idea that our world is a simulation being run by one.]] Bubbles notes that such a being is physically impossible, since a thing of arbitrary intelligence would require arbitrary amounts of energy, but that could be overcome if such an intelligence weren't conscious- that is, if it weren't aware of the world outside itself. Such a being would be incapable of understanding or sympathizing with the creatures it simulates, [[CrapsackWorld which would explain the apparent amorality of the universe.]]
