Quinn

the inverse of yay

Alan Wiggs

they're good names, Grunt

Jasper

Grunt

Miyaa

You mean the opposite of Pintsize. Maybe his real name is Litré.

Andrew

Hoping for a coffee shop run by Raven and Emily!

Matt Grayson

I'm terrible with names, too. But I get my own right over 80% of the time, so there's that.

Hexagonal Crank

It would explain why they're sold out of souvenir "Gront" license plates at the gift shop.

Andrew

My’ name’ Andrew’

Michael Boettger

I'm guessing an "s" at the end of name was dropped.

Dypstych

CoD's second location

Watso

I kinda want the whole cast of QC to move to Cubetown…

Dean Reilly

Nice to meet you, Breng.

Andrew

Or Literjon if we go dune-style

Nicolas Demers

Maybe they are, and Northampton is a simulation...

ValdVin

What does all the tizzy about Claire say for any prior candidates for The Librarian?

atomicBlaze21

I did not expect a surprise cameo in QC...

Jay

Spagett?

Kyle Major

Do you have a plate?

Jay

That they all backed out at the first red flag.

Wynn Donivan

I spy a bush-gremlin in panel one!

Patrick Liston

All of the years he's spent befriending the strangest Northampton has to offer has prepared Marten for Cubetown.

Simon Green

Vell, Zaphod's just zis guy, you know?

Simon Green

Most popular boys name of the year, 2013. Closely followed by 'Jihn,' 'Ondraw' and 'Alexander'.

Simon Green

TBF it's not so much a red flag as a klaxon, closing bast door, flashing lights and oxygen masks dropping from the ceiling/sky/skybox.

Sean Kinlin

Perhaps the lurker in panel 1 is named Kate, and will pop out to do a song and dance in a red dress.

ExBeth

I'm great with names. The problem is that other people are bad at naming.

Rich Holmes

He's also terrible at contractions

Andrew

They could set up a stable portal between the two!

Slayer Anderson

I feel like this place is such a madhouse that even Marten might have good job prospects, which is as damning a statement as I've ever uttered. It'd be hilarious if he gets scouted for some organizational position while Claire is trying to understand the macro-scale lunacy.

MikeT

Clearly his name is Gary

MikeT

Marten sure does seem to know where is towel is of late

Grace Serenity

You gotta add more stank and lisp in there! I BRUNT! EFF SCHE AY!

Stephen B.

Hmm... does this count as a new named character?

atomicBlaze21

Marten seems like a real hoopy frood

Joseph Bonnar

As of now? He works as three new characters and counting, so yes. :)

Joseph Bonnar

And his name is Allen. That's my head canon.

Joseph Bonnar

Gront is the name of my City-Eastern band.

Joseph Bonnar

The real question we all have: Is Cubetown ready for... The Librarian.

Calmweaver

It really says something about this place when I am genuinely unsure whether "My name' Grant" is a typo or just his thing

Captain Button

All the others except for the Directors and the Morays are former librarian candidates. They can never be free until the True Librarian completes The Great Index.

Yelling Bird

He gives me 'Carl' energy. Fuckin' CARL...

Flash

They're good dogs

Vilinda

Watch his name be something like Steve.

Carl Fink

I'm whooshed. Explain?

Carl Fink

Hey! If you want to fuck me, you have to kiss me first.

Carl Fink

Grant etc. reminds me strangely of the Presger Translators from Ann Leckie's *Ancillary Sword*. Is he/she/they/it looking at a cheat sheet on their right hand to read their name?

Bagge

it will come to them

Beat

simply create a file called name.txt in your home directory

Tracy Cassella

His name is Bort! (my son also happens to be Bort!) 🤣

Finvaara

This is the most impressive case of "Bad With Names" I've ever seen!

Alycia Bailey

Who is the sneaky looker in panel 1?

Slashplane

Marten's new friend, obviously /s. He has a habit of befriending stalkers.

Slashplane

But they are on a cloud based system and share some core system files or something.

Brooks Moses

Have there been former candidates?

Shane Wegner

"You didn't set aside 8 bytes for _your own name_?"

Yelling Bird

I told you to wait outside CARL!

Joseph Bonnar

I believe that Hannelore was stalking him for a while. Lemme go check, ok? I've been wrong before. :)

William Cole

Bush Creeper seems to have OG Spookybot-style snake eyes.

jonesnori

Oh, good catch! I didn't notice them.

Vivek Patankar

Panel 1: Who's that lurking around behind the bushes?

legobil

Yessss. I was just gonna ask that myself. Better call Evan! Have her bring the squirt gun.

Drazi

Those are goblin eyes. They can't hide and it's no surprise. They have goblin eyes.

SilverbackRon

Oh yeah, Hanners was a straight up stalker in her first appearances. She is still in my top favorite characters.

Mark

My name's Gront and so is my wife's.

Dean Reilly

Why would Marten have bad job prospects? He has never shown up at work drunk, held a rave at his workplace or threatened a customer with a harpoon.

Duncan

A name-tag printing license?

Ye Olde Phart

As long as you can lookup your own name on it, that will suffice, yes.

Ye Olde Phart

Dammit, I've seen this scene before! "Hi, I'm... *looks at own nametag* ...Brian!"

Joker04

A name's just a 4 letter word? *goes and searches through his music library*

Christine Blake

There needs to be more Gronts in the world.

Boots McGoot

A+, very good joke, i love this

David Paul

Raven runs the coffee shop, having previous experience at CoD. She hired Emily and somehow between them have made a stable wormhole.

David Paul

"My name is [DESIGNATED_NAME]! Everyone just calls me Des for short..."

will davison

Jeph, where’d the links to other comics go? You’ve been my morning routine since the ‘40s: open QC, read QC, use links to read Diesel Sweeties, Gunnerkrigg, Qwantz, and XKCD!

Doc Gumby

I know! C'mon, man! Pleeeeeeeeeeaazzze? :)

JourneymanWizard

the '40s? No wonder there are almost 5000 strips (not including Bembo?)

Ardent Slacker

True Librarian... wait, I've played that video game!

Ardent Slacker

Is your name actually Brent, or do you just indicate the direction? Wherever you may point, you are pointing Brentward...

atomicBlaze21

I want the artists I support to know my real name. Besides, this isn't a fully public space, it's more of an exclusive club, so I feel safe having my name in the open.

Derrik Pates

Pretty sure Jeph missed an "s" in panel 3.

Hugh Eckert

Gront! Klaatu barada nikto!

Leak

But incredibly good at contradictions...

Leak

Have you heard of our lord and saviour, Mark Book?

Nicholas Palmer

"New Librarian" just makes me think... what happened to the old librarian :P

Scott Kenney

Tamika Flynn took its head off

Jim Feldman

who's hiding in the bushes

Joe

maybe his name is actually Gronk. or Grönk.

Darius Jenai

Moray doesn't even have printer paper.

Mark F

They're good bots Brent!

Joseph Bonnar

Now I'm gonna go through EVERY Cubetown page looking for hiders.

ValdVin

"Former" sounds foreboding in this usage.

Mad Marie

rubs hands menacingly and cackles

Mad Marie

Emily’s hair has grown out, and she has some really weird contacts in.

JPGer

lol, whos in the bush in the first panel XD

Grumpy Bird

Brant (funny enough, I typed this before reading the next comic)

Clifton Royston

When Claire & Marten started talking about someone on their balcony in tactical wear, I thought it was going to be the sneaky lurker, but instead we found it was Evan who is decidedly not that.

Grant Blackburn

I'd not mind a Grant. though my cousins would probably not mind Brandt, Brent, Brondt, or Kymme.
