Aw poor Yay 😂 this does not help their tough persona any

Cody Renton

Are we ever going to get a timeline of how long it's been in-universe since strip 001? I'd love to know how old Spookybot was in their first appearance. Also this sadly means that they're definitely not Greg (unless it's 1999 in QCverse?)

KingAtticus

Aww, Yay is embarrassed! 😆

Michael Boettger

So when they helped out Bubbles, that might have been one of the first times they embodied. Perhaps they did that because they knew they'd have to interact with hoomons?

Dave Van Domelen

Loads of knowledge, superior attitude, very little actual life experience...they're definitely a teenager.

Yelling Bird

NO! FUCK THIS CUTENESS! I DEMAND HOT MILF-ON-ROBOT ACTION NOW GODDAMMIT!

I continue to ship it.

Fart Captor

I'D BE SAD THAT THEY'RE NOT GONNA SMOOCH BUT THIS IS SO FRIGGIN CUTE I DON'T CARE

Andrew

Yayby!

James Cooper

That would certainly be a thing to have to wonder, say Bubbles and Faye, would there be an oof factor when ones thinks that Bubbles is physically like maybe 10 at most while mentally probably closer to Ariella's age?

Seidmadr

YES! YES!

Joel Bateman

This has to be my favorite Yay style. That hair and outfit is sooooo good on them!

Simon Green

Mooooommmmm! Aurelia's mapping me agaaaaaaain!

Seidmadr

I bet she was born at the same time as the strip that said that they had technically reached the singularity.

Vanestus

That little Yay blush is adorable.

So, they're 2 years old and they had already amassed a couple of billion dollars which they then gave away on a whim. Impressive.

D'awww...who's a cutey wootey little all powerful God AI????

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Well, now we know something about the QC timeline... Yay's first appearance ( https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3391 ) could not have been more than two years ago, in-world time.

I want Yay to move in with Aurelia so they can keep each other company like this All The Time plus Cosmo would get All The Pets *nod*nod*nod*

Mom vibes INTENSIFY!

Todd Ellner

How many AIs have the experience of being mothered? Could have some interesting developmental effects.

Anonymous

Damn Jeph, I keep thinking I can't love your writing more, and then you do this. Thank you.

Shawn K. Younkin

Bwhahahahahahaha!!!! BABY YAY!!! And GO Aurelia, fuck the Nalgene bottle and drink STRAIGHT FROM THE BOTTLE!!

Czarzhan

Now I want to know the ages of the other AIs

Mark Thomas

Mommy. Sorry. Mommy. Sorry! Mommy. SoRrY

Kyle Rudy

Dang, now I'm revisiting that hypothesis about Yay's origins. Maybe they really are the satellites Emily taught to make friends.

Ursus Ridens

I ship Yay + Lorena Torres, for some reason. (QC 312 ff)

AHAHAHAHAHAHA! Aurelia is headed straight into “love you, maaaan” territory!

Bebe Yay!!!

Drakoo Dreamer

That last panel, yay is giving off MOM STOP energy

Captain Button

Yay fails the Test of the Mom Jabbar.

Josh

At first glance I thought this said B'Elanna Torres and I got really excited 😆

Andrew

Bubbles is most definitely a 10. Sorry... what was the question? :)

Andrew

It’s like a see-saw ride as Aurelia works through that bottle.

Anonymous

OH. SO many things make sense now

Anonymous

So....terrible twos?

Hugh Eckert

Yay is in the Terrible Twos. That explains a *lot*.

Tannerbot

The comedy in a dignified individual not at all able to keep said dignity? Gold.

Chris Heg

Aurelia has graduated to the bottle.

Anonymous

Aurelia has the best facial expressions, and she's drinking out of the bottle not lol

Sammitch

Ok, NOW Yay knows how teens feel. :p

Anonymous

As a side note tho, only 2 years? Now I'm wondering about where they came from and what might have created? them. Do we know how long it has been since Spooky Bot and Corpse Witch?

Nutjob

THE BABY

Mad Marie

Love the subtle flutter of the hand in panel 1!

Grace Kieser

The framed picture of Claire holding a fish in the last panel is a nice touch!

Lucanid Landman

...hrm. If Yay has only existed for 2 years, that kind of kills my theory that they're really Gary from that one mass spam email mentioned early in the comic's history.

Anonymous

I am all of a sudden very fascinated with how Yay came to exist, and what happened 2 years ago to prompt it.

I saw a comment earlier, and I agree, but it was probably around the same time as the robot singularity.

Anonymous

Now that i think about it i wonder if Yay had anything to do with the Singularity. They seem powerful enough to have had a hand in it

I have a deep abiding need to know all of Yay's history. Who spun them up?

Anonymous

It's been an eventful two years.

Anonymous

Love how Aurelia, having realized she already had half the bottle when she poured it into her nalgene, decided to cut to the chase and drink out of the bottle.

Anonymous

Also, does it feel a little "I fucked up so I'm gonna drink about it" to anyone else? Kinda unhealthy, but not really cause Yay is there? But still a little not great? Also also, depending on how high she got she's gonna have a BAD hangover if she's anything like me -- mixing alcohol and weed somehow produces a hangover worse than either on their own

Anonymous

I actually hadn't thought about that. With all the folks shopping Aureliyay (Yayrelia?), it does raise one question. How does age of consent work with AIs? Also potentially important for Faye and Bubs

Anonymous

I thought it was Aurelias Tinder pic and/or a nod to all the other tinderpics. :)

Chris Crowther

I suspect it doesn't apply, as Yay is pointing out age doesn't map the same way as it does with humans. It's not like emotional and mental development in humans is simple - people never stop learning in that respect. I don't think we really know about how AIs development in this setting. They're presumably hitting the ground with a human adult equivalent level of knowledge, comprehension, reasoning, and emotional understanding. Although as I said it's not like humans ever stop developing in those areas. You don't magically have all the skills you need in life at 16. Or 18. Or 21. Or whatever age your culture has arbitrarily decided adulthood is.

Stephen Wells

QC is so good; the characters are so great that we got to spend a week of fanfic shipping and speculation, and then the canon story payoff is different and funnier, because Jeph is very good at this :)

Krestus

Aurelia is so gosh darn wholesome and loveable.

Anonymous

ok so Yay may have a lot of knowledge, but they don't have a lot of experience! have they ever been sledding? watched a sunrise? gone for a hike to look at a really big tree? vacyaytion time imo

Stephen Wells

Imagine a money laundering scheme so advanced and automated that it gained sentience and escaped from its creators.

wait so the robot fighting ring happened two years ago or less??

man thinking about how much time has passed in the questionableverse..... Dora as a small business owner at 26 hit different when I was reading this comic in middle school

Alan Wiggs

She put down the Nalgene and forgot she filled it, didn't she

TubaGinger

They are baby tho

Daniel Blom Paulsen

And with each new strip, my love for Aurelia grows ever stronger. 💚

Shawn K. Younkin

This comment thread is fucking gold!!!

Jeph, you have the most amazing way of making a character into a living being. I love your comics, keep it up! <3

Danielle Church

aww Yay's body DOES have blush capability

Ruth Merriam

Personal space, Aurelia! Yay has utterly succumbed.

David Pipes

Why am I hearing the voice of Feargal Sharkey in my head?

🎉🥳🎊 📈👩‍🔬 🤘😅🤘 Now I need to rethink my shipping them! Please clarify soon!!

OldGoat

For example,Yay has just gained the experience that will enable them to remember to answer the age question with their Turing-Diaz 7B score (QC 2726. Thank you, Peter Jensen) rather than the actual chronological count.

unsurprising

oh my god they're under 18 you're so fucking canceled I'm writing the callout post right now

Thomas A. Dennis

Getting flashbacks to every Star Trek: Voyager fan discussion about Neelix dating Kes.

Anonymous

i can only imagine. Yay is written as more mature than Kes ever was, tbf.

David B H Kahn

now I feel bad I have a crush on them and May

Anonymous

Poor Yay just wants to be taken seriously.

Todd Ellner

But they have to hide because the government would take them very seriously

Mad Marie

Putting the mapping difference aside…How many Yays are there, exactly? I mean if there are, say, twelve of them, perhaps they collectively have the experience and maturity of a 24-year-old being.

Anonymous

I think we have seen about 7 Yays hanging around in their Apartment. So about 14 collective years

Anonymous

Yay is definitely getting the full annoyed teen experience there!

Uniquitous

I'm sure I would be annoyed if someone infantilized me, so go off Yay!

Bagge

Baby!

Two years, huh... How many years in universe has it been since AI was first established?

Well, there goes my "Spookybot = Gary" theory
