QC Rerun Time 2025 #3
Dec. 9th, 2025 09:21 pmquestionable_content_feed
A Bembo comic! Man I love these. IIRC, the whole idea for Bembo started off on twitter when I went on a bit of a "dumb barbarian but not in the way you'd expect" style of shitposting spree. Then later that year I needed some filler comics for the week between xmas and new year's so I decided to turn some of those posts into actual comics. And then it became a semi-regular thing! They're very fun and I hope to do more in the future. Bembo is obviously heavily indebted to Oglaf, a comic I adore. Go read Oglaf, unless you don't like cartoons with tits and wieners in them I guess.
Every time I see one of these old comics I think "man, remember when QC was about indie rock lol." Also remember when I used to make jokes about the size of Faye's ass but didn't really know how to draw thicker ladies yet so she pretty much looked like every other character, lol.

"LEAPING LILY PADS!! Is...is that what I think it is? Phil, are you seeing this?!"
"...Phil?"
"...Will?"
"...Jill?
"You guys, snap out of it!"
"I'm...I'm scared, Gill."
"It's unnatural, I tell you - UNNATURAL!"
"Quiet, Bill! He's coming!"
"Hey guys! Wassup?
"They call me...TADPOLE."
Thanks to wreckporters Susan M., Abby G., Amber K., Becky L., Jesse D., Madi L., Sara M., and Tammy H. & Melanie D., who sent in separate reports of the same frog. I love it when that happens! My wrecky minions are everywhere - EVERYWHERE! Muah-ha-haaa!

If you know someone who loves frogs, maybe skip the wreck and get them this instead:
Fanatical About Frogs
It's part of a cool animal series with incredible art. In fact I'm also eying Obsessive About Octopuses, just for the cover alone. Hnnng.

A very happy birthday to Art Garfunkle - who we hope will forgive us - and many thanks to Liz K., Lynnette W., Paul A., Michelle S., Rachel H., Lexi, C.H., & Katie S. for helping us appreciate the sound of silence.

QC RERUN TIME 2025: The Beginning
Dec. 7th, 2025 10:02 pmquestionable_content_feed
lmao that the first comic to pop up when I hit the random button on my site was Faye saying "why's there always gotta be new people"
Looking back at this year, I feel like Anh basically took over the comic? It's wild how it's always the unexpected ones who have the most juice. No offense to Ayo, who is also plenty juicy and I also love writing. But Anh's a couple orders of magnitude more of a mess. But THIS comic is about AYO! Who is a delightful little idiot and I can't wait to do more with. OKAY THANKS I LOVE YOU ALL BYE
Timey-Wimey Sweets
Dec. 7th, 2025 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedI grew up on old-school Doctor Who, back when it aired on PBS Friday nights. My first convention ever was a Doctor Who event - where John Pertwee patted my head - and just a few years ago I received a side-hug from my favorite Doctor, Peter Davison. [Still squeeing over that, btw.] So yeah, you could say the good Doctor and I go back a ways.
So today I thought we'd celebrate all things timey-wimey with the ultimate Best-Of cake mix sure to make your knees wibbly-wobbly. Ready? Allons-y!
(By Nerdache Cakes)
Much as I adore Tigger, I'm kinda bummed I can't make a "Doctor POOH" joke here. But that's ok; Piglet in a homemade Dalek costume MORE than makes up for it.
And speaking of Daleks:
(By Stacked Cakes)
WOW.
The 'net is full of so many fantastic TARDIS cakes, it's hard to narrow down the best ones.
Actually, I take that back; this one wasn't hard to narrow down at all:
(By Leigh Henderson of theyrecoming.com)
This cake (yes, it's cake!) is fitted with mirrors and lights to make it actually look bigger on the inside.
Here's a peek inside the window:
Time for a cookie break!
(By Cookie Cowgirl)
Daleks in party hats. YESSS.
And who's the cutest widdle alien fat particle of all time?
(Found here, baker unknown)
IT'S YOU!
(No, not YOU you. I mean the adipose. Um. Awkwarrrd.)
As a Classic Who girl, these guys were always my favorite villains:
(By Truly Scrumptious Designer Cakes)
Still can't get over how cute she managed to make a Cyberman look, though. I seriously want that cake in doll form!
And now for something a little steamy:
If you think about it, Steampunk and Doctor Who really are a match made in the heavens, am I right?
And while we're talking TARDISes TARDI TARDIS cakes, I love the galaxy airbrushing on this one:
(Made by Claudia's Cakery)
It takes a lot to fool me with cake these days, but this next one did. I *still* have a hard time believing it's not a wooden model:
(Found here)
Even if you've only watched Doctor Who since the reboot, I bet you still have a soft spot for Tom Baker:
(By Border City Cakes)
It's all about the scarf, right? And the crazy hair.
(I'm, uh, glad the baker went with the scarf, though. o.0)
And another excellent contribution from the original show:
(By Imaginative Icing)
K-9!
Sometimes you see a fan-built K-9 rolling around at conventions, and I so want one.
Even though I grew up on the show, I'm ashamed to admit I have a LOT of catching up to do with the new episodes. (Too many were making me cry!) I will catch up, though - I WILL.
Anyway, if you're in the same boat - or if you've never seen ANY episodes and just want to know what all the fuss is about, then at least watch the episode "Blink." It's quite possibly the best episode of any sci-fi show EVER, and stands alone just fine.
Plus, after you watch that, you'll know why everyone else is about to flinch away from their screens in terror:
(By the cake girl)
BOO!
Muahahahaha! :D
Ok, one more, just so we can end on a less petrifying [smirk] note:
(By Michelle Sugar Art)
Woohoo! It's a WHO-bilation!
(In my mind Doctor Seuss & the Doctor are friends, so that totally works.)
Happy Sunday, my fellow Whovians, and have a Sweet weekend!

Or, as I like to call it, "The Reason I Can't Stop Laughing."
(But only because "The Leaning Tower of Pisa Crap" is just a little too mean. :D)

P.S. I've been shopping for the best Christmas lights to hang outside this year, and I think you'll like what I bought:
BrizLabs Color-Changing Christmas Lights
This is a 115 feet of LED lights, which you can change from warm white to multi-color to any combination of the two! They have 11 different settings like "slo-glow" and "breathing," a remote control, and even built-in timers. All for $27! This is the best price for the most features I've found, plus they have great reviews, which is a must for me.
John & I installed 3 strands of these beauties last weekend, and they. are. GORGEOUS. Highly recommend.

The Blizzard of Odd
Dec. 4th, 2025 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedIt's only three weeks 'til Christmas, bakers. Quick! THROW PLASTIC CHRISTMAS FLOTSAM ON EVERYTHING!
Oh come on, man. PUT YOUR BACK INTO IT!
That's better.
Now, go make some cupcake cakes {PATOOIE!} that defy all laws of logic and common sense. DO EEET!
Yessss, and use sprinkles instead of colored icing! GENIUS!
I don't know what's happening here, but I like where your head's at.
Ok, now make a Christmas King Cake, because it's been WAY too long since those things got me in trouble:
Of COURSE you can still use the purple sprinkles and little plastic baby, silly! It's a King Cake! But for Christmas! AND THIS MAKES TOTAL SENSE!
Now pass the eggnog, and let's go flash people on the street with our ugly Christmas sweaters for tinsel!
WHOAH THERE, St. Nick. I said flash our sweaters!
And you call yourself a saint. REALLY.
Thanks to Daisy B., Andrea J., Ginny V., Lizz, Holly H., & Christine V. for the cup of holiday HELLOOOOOO, Santa.

P.S. It is possible our obsession with gnomes has gone too far?

Are You Smarter Than A Wreckerator?
Dec. 3rd, 2025 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedFriends, if you'll indulge me, I'd like to take a moment and wax poetical about the world's somewhere-between-17th-and-52nd best education system.
You see, here in the States we learn everything we need in life, from the very basics:
(The difference between an apple and a bell pepper is more advanced.)
...to spelling and punctuation:
...to those oh-so-vital math skills.
We also have more advanced studies of the human, um... whatever this is:
I'm pretty sure that's butt stuff.
Here we're encouraged to keep writting(s?):
...to keep our stars shinning:
...and to always enhance that one student's mind's 2013:
That one's a little confusing, I'll grant you.
Because here in the US we honor our honor stundels:
...encouraging them to Imagin a world where they can Acheive their dreams:
A world where, say, all you have to do is copy little plastic signs for a living.
...from the very beginning of the school year:
...to the bitter(sweet?) end.
Yay.
Thanks to Janel J., Anony M., Kate B., Brittany J., Juli K., Anony M., Linda R.., Rae L., Tanya, Janica C. & Laura B. for the education.

P.S. Because I bet we could all use a drink after that:
"Santa's Flask" Stocking Booze Dispenser
This stocking can hold an entire bottle of wine! Better get two.

Wrecky Conga Lines
Dec. 1st, 2025 02:00 pmcakewrecks_feedMy dear bakers, I'm going to teach you how to spell "Congratulations" if it's the last thing I do. I mean it. We're going to sit down RIGHT NOW and hash this thing out, and I'm not giving up until each and every one of you can spell this word backwards, forwards, and without using a single letter "d." You hear me? I am NOT GIVING UP.
I give up.
Ok, look. How about you just abbreviate it?
Not that much.
No...
[head on desk] No...
[in fetal position under desk] Losing...faith...in humanity...
Does...does that really say "Congris"?
Does it?!
Ok, I have an idea.
[whispering in ear]
I'll take it.
Hey, Aimee T., David G., Colleen G., Lianne I., Super Happy Girl, Julie M., & Nicole V., you don't by any chance happen to have six fingers on your right hand, do you? My cookie cake was slaughtered by a six-fingered hand.

P.S. I use a lot of faux flame candles on timers in my house, so at night they all pop on automatically like magic. LOVE THAT. And I keep adding more. If you want to deck out your space with the same warm-candle-glow look, here's a great starter set:
LED Flameless Candle Set With Remote Timer
You get TWELVE candles and two remotes for $30, which is an incredible deal. Dang. A lot of folks use these in their fireplaces, since the different sizes look great grouped together.
