Always great when non-bondage cartoon characters break out the duct tape. Image source: Questionable Content.
Here it is, the only gag scene in the very popular web comic Questionable Content. Faye, a mouthy barista with a rapier wit is giving a shy girl a hard time and her boss Dora keeps telling her to shut up, and finally, out comes the duct tape.
There's also a scene where Marten, the comic's male lead, puts the sexy lesbian librarian in shibari bondage. As a favor. You'll have to find that one on your own.
In fact, Questionable Content, although it is not nearly as sexy as many webcomics (don't look for nudity) does have a supporting character who is a famous former bondage model (described as a "nouveau Betty Page"), that's Marten's mother, who modeled as "Veronica Vance." No images of her in bondage gear, but who knows what will come down the road eventually.
However, the point of Questionable Content is not the bondage, it's the funny, sharp writing. The female characters are snotty baristas who work at Coffee of Doom, and the wit and barbs are very tasty indeed. Mostly the strip is what I'd call a Marty Stu, very appropriately as the lead character is named Marten and has what amounts to a harem of hot young twenty-something women, all of whom think Marten is incredibly cute, despite his shyness and the ease with which he's flustered. However, Jeph Jacques the comic's creator, is well aware of Marten's flaws and has plenty of fun with him.
It all has a hazy stranger in paradise feel with young adults with healthy libidos agonizing over their relationships or lack of them, and the tasty wit makes it all worthwhile. I highly recommend you go to page 1 and read from the beginning.
