Ting

All builds lead to stealth archer

chili sunrise

I hadn’t even noticed her in the background until someone on reddit pointed her out!

Captain Button

Why do I think they are Emmet's evil twin?

Nicole Hands

I used to be an adventurer like you...

Sean Kinlin

I think Hide checks take a penalty if you're talking.

Miyaa

Oh hello there new character.

Spoogle McGee

What is a melee tank but a really-really-really close range stealth archer with lots of HP and no ammo.

Zig Justice

Spoiler: Coffee is a controlled substance in Cubetown . o O (Resulting in disaster for Claire and Marten)

Nicolas Demers

Is this where we meet the secret Resistance movement?

Sean Kinlin

This character has pretty long hair. Might it be the longest hair Jeph has drawn in the comic?

BobC

Darn, beat me to it.

Michael Boettger

Or perhaps an evil stepsister? Or distant cousin?

Simon Green

I was a barista too until i took a grinder to the knee

Raymond Tremblay

Page 4935 seems to be their first appearance?

Carl Fink

They seem to be acting more like Sam, at least to me.

ValdVin

Reminds me of Midori Asakusa except with longer hair.

LH

"must've been the wind" - Marten, probably

Absentia

They real question then becomes who are they, and why are they seemingly stalking Marten?

OldGoat

Well, it's not Emmett.

Tom @ Magic Chopstick Games

“…could you—“ “WELCOME TO CUBETOWN! (A)” “…uh…’A’?” “…” “…so could you tell—“ “WELCOME TO CUBETOWN! (A)”

Fart Captor

I LOVE HER SO MUCH ALREADY HELP

Fart Captor

Obviously she is simply part of the Stealthy Gremlin Department

Shawn K. Younkin

It's the in thing to do... Marten is just very stalkable- he has 5 star ratings on Stalker.com.

Mitsuki Ayane

WELCOME! Care for a free lollipop!? ~<3

Zak Reichle

It's a specialist department that collaborate with Millefeuille at Invisible Emu Optics Lab

Cute_Fuzzy

"Let me guess. Someone stole your sweetroll?" [Please let the new character be named Sweet Roll]

Cute_Fuzzy

that or custom-enchanting your own armor set so all your Destruction spells are free

Bagge

I love how the weirdos are just as likely to be human as robots

Sean Kinlin

I assume you don't mean that a sandwich hit your patella.

Flash

Must have been my imagination

Joseph Bonnar

Oh dear! It IS Emmett. They will visit Cubetown 15 years from now and wind up involved with the Wacky Hijinks research group. As a result, Emmett will steal a working time machine and return to the past to spy on "The Librarian!"

Joseph Bonnar

Had to delete my original comment and repost. Emmett is they / them, not she / her, and I KNOW better. :P

Andrew

Proper stealthing is done by putting an upturned pot on his head, right?

David Martelli

On second thought... Cubetown... 'tis a silly place

Panic Blitz

I am immediately in love and want to buy all the merchandise.

Captain Button

"No one sees me come, no one see me go. I am the wind."

Bill Marcum

Resistance is voltage divided by current!

darklion

Have I seen her in some anime recently

Bill Marcum

Okay I can't see you, but how will you lead me to the coffee?

jaelte

That depends on whether you're up against the Borg or Vogons. The Borg: Futile Vogons: Useless

Bill Marcum

Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Coffee Street?

Scott Vogel

The question is. Can she lead Bubbles to tea?

Shane Wegner

Only Legitimate Scientists could ever score a lab coat like that!

Anders Rapp

This place seems to be filled with perfectly normal, calm and collected robots and people!

Miyaa

I knew you’d love her.

OldGoat

Don't do that to me. I've been watching "Outlander" and am having enough trouble keeping track of one time travel story.

Stephen Wells

This is Emmett's cousin, isn't it :)

Leak

"I was going to solve the halting problem, but then I took an arrow function to the knee..."

Kyle

traditionally you're supposed to cross your arms in front of your chest while you shout that

lazymagpie

spotted the new member of the core cast XD

Mad Marie

…aaaaand now I am mentally replacing Marten with Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Mad Marie

Borg vs. Vogons sounds like it would be an epic late 70s/early 80s Wimbledon final.

Mad Marie

a panini to the patella? Preposteroso!

enchantedsleeper

I was gonna say, looks like Marten found Cubetown!Sam xD but actually Emmett is more accurate

Mad Marie

La-Re-Si are musical tones. A-D-B-stance!

enchantedsleeper

I wonder what the human to AI ratio is at Cubetown? 🤔

Mad Marie

“Who are you talking to?”

Mad Marie

I like to imagine Outlander as a documentary, where the film crew is also traveling in time and super stealthy.

Mad Marie

^it’s at 420 Sinsemilla Street

Mad Marie

Like “Hot Pie”

enchantedsleeper

I bet Marten and Claire will be issued with new phones once (if) Claire starts at Cubetown that will be able to handle the weird WiFi and also be insanely powerful. And probably experimental. On which note, I hope Marten caught his phone.

Mad Marie

“I mix the plaster.”

Mad Marie

“Take me to your Litre.”

Joseph Bonnar

As long as there are no rabbits UNLESS one posesseth: The Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch.

legobil

Here’s to hoping Martens phone is ok.

David Durant

On the one hand, new favourite character. On the other hand, we have some many folks in QC already that we hardly ever get to see...

Sean Kinlin

The new person can lead Bubbles to a T.

Uniquitous

Beware tiny ninjas offering favors, that's what granddad always said. Before he went missing.

Mark

A character qualifies for being in the main cast if they've appeared at all in the last 500 strips.

YsabetJustYsabet

OMG she has hair like a My Little Pony! --sorry, distracted. Labcoated? Very small researcher? Also, gotta say that "Maybe we can grab him while he's distracted by all the spanking" isn't a phrase you read everyday. :)

Mrpink

I sense a possible romantic rival for Claire with eighth-grader syndrome despite being an adult researcher xD

Ted Van Roekel

Okay, between the title of this strip and the gelatinous makeup of several of the locals, I'm getting a BAD VIBE HERE.

Steve R.

I was trying to do a pure mage runthrough in Skyrim. Made it to about Level 30 and I'm sick of it and really just want to raise my Stealth skill. What's a mage except for a fancy archer, after all?

David Durant

Largely depends on the kind of things you read :-)

David Durant

On a second viewing I'm concerned she might be hiding from Rover

Leak

@Captain Button: that's 3 out of control bodily functions at once - might get that checked out... :P

Ruth Merriam

Does Emmett have family working in Cubetown?

Hawkeye

Oh my god. I just went back through all the dailies all the way back to their arrival in Cubetown and how the heck have I missed this super adorable maxed out stealth person in the background of at least 4 of them? Oh right. Stealth stat is maxed out. The math checks out.

Leak

What, more evil than Emmett? Is that even possible?

Mad Marie

That’s why they call that other site “Yelp”.

Mad Marie

The “A” is a Canadian thing.

Hugh Eckert

Or actual sister. IIRC, Emmett has only ever mentioned their mom, not siblings...

Leak

Somebody set up us the bomb...

Leak

Do you want riots in the street? Because that's how you get riots in the street... (Dreading to go to the office tomorrow; according to my boss, someone put cocoa beans into the coffee machine - and now the grinder is sticky and/or stuck... D:)

Captain Button

Sorry but the fairy isn't in the same league as the rogue above, who has waist length hair at a minimum.

Leak

Nono, it's a panini to the paella...

Amazing Stace

Why do I get the impression that everyone Marten meets is going to be from the Hijinks division

Miyaa

Peppermint Pasti

Chelsea

It feels like everyone at Cubetown *is* in the Hijinks division

Mad Marie

I have tried gelatinous makeup, and while it looks rather ghastly it’s at least fairly easy to wash off at the end of the day

Mad Marie

I am looking for the next comic, but it appears to be stealthily hiding behind the weekend.

awgiedawgie

I notice those other two never claimed to *not* be part of the wacky hijinks research group.

OldGoat

I thought she was Emmett. At least she looks she. Human-style speech balloons and no visible neck seam - I'm thinkin' real human female. Hair color is a close match for Smythe and she's trying hard to avoid detection. Is she Smythe's little sister who stowed away on Boaty? Boaty would have detected her presence, but he could keep her secret safe, especially since it looks like his sympathies run toward hijinks.

fractal porn

don't worry, it'll be here sooner ;)

Miyaa

Great. Jeph is now Nostradamus.

Duncan

These are not the chords you're looking for

legobil

They don’t seem to share the nose however. That would be cumbersome anyway, I prefer to have my own.

Leak

Yeah, that'd be several Things to worry about...

Ruth Merriam

No! And why do I not have time to scroll back through them all, dammit?

MisterVimes

If AI turns out the way it is in the QC-verse, I will take it as a win. Some of the social institutions around AI, maybe less so...

David Durant

Just realised that that makes Claire Number Two

innpchan

Has -anyone- Marten has ever met NOT been from the hijinks group?

Todd Ellner

I am still sad that the Foglios never did a limited run of "Spark-Roasted Coffee: It's Perfect"

YsabetJustYsabet

I must admit, this is true in general. But *every* day?

A. J. Alfieri-Crispin

She should just snap her fingers like Richard Mulligan’s character in “Soap” 70s TV show.

Dan Glick

Am I the only one who totally failed to extrapolate the exponential curve of neurotic AIs being added to QC the last couple of years? I'm not sure how much longer this can keep up, people; I'm afraid we're on the far side of the chessboard...

Ron Hamann

I’m half expecting her to do crab fingers like Emily in that position.
