[[WMG: The comic is about to end.]]
All this CharacterDevelopment... it just feels like the wrap-up stage. Probably going to stop at 2000, what with it being a nice big round number.
** Unlikely: as of Strip 1984, Dale has received no meaningful characterization whatsoever, and thus has nothing to resolve. Likewise Marigold is largely unevolved. But we'll see by September, shan't we!...
** Seeing as it is now at 3000+ strips...
** Nearly 4200 as of February 2020.



* Jossed [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=5000 here]]. Jacques got to #5000 and announced that he has every intention of continuing, and shifting the setting back and forth between Cubetown and Northampton, and that he has no intention of ending it any time soon.

Jacques got to #5000 and announced that he has every intention of continuing, and shifting the setting back and forth between Cubetown and Northampton, and that he has no intention of ending it any time soon. (It was also on the strip where Claire confirmed she'd take the job, so even if Jeph ''was'' going to wrap it up, he'd have missed the milestone.)

[[WMG:The strip is going to end at #5000]]
2,000 was a good round number, but the plot at that point showed no sign of resolving. Well, things have changed: after the TimeSkip at 4485, basically every prominent character is in a good place: Marten and Claire are in a happy relationship, Faye and Bubbles are solid, Dora and Tai's wedding is still on, Clinton and Elliot have hooked up, and [=MommyMilkers=] and [=BurgerOni=] had a fruitful collaboration. It's only Claire, unemployed with her degree in Library Science, who's been left hanging... But almost instantly, she gets the job interview at Cubetown. If she accepts it, she and Marten will have to move to Canada, and as of #4899, everyone's made their peace with that. The stage is set for a parting, finale and AndTheAdventureContinues denouement. The major argument against is that Jeph's pacing would make it difficult to cram 1. Claire and Marten visiting Cubetown, 2. Claire taking the job, 3. a big finale into a mere 100 strips.
* There's still Roko and her ongoing bodily integration issues; who's going to be Faye and Bubbles' new roommate and how on earth are they going to cope with Pintsize; what the hell is Yay still doing hanging around, if not to be schooled further in human relationships, etc. I agree that 5000 is a nice round number, but I also agree that the pacing issues mean that 100 strips would probably cover about a fortnight in comic time. Sometimes it takes the strip a week in human time to cover 30 seconds of interaction between characters. I don't think he's gonna make it.
** If the [[https://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=4911 newspost on this strip]] is anything to go by, the strip isn't going to end at #5000: Jacques announced that he's really enjoying working on the strip and has no idea when he's even going to get Marten and Claire to Cubetown because he has too much story to do in the meantime. This can only be proven or disproven if QC goes beyond 5000 strips, but it seems ever more unlikely.

From a wider perspective, strip #3000 is coming up, and [[WhamEpisode whammy events]] seem to have a tendency to happen at milestone numbers in QC (e.g. [[DarkAndTroubledPast #500]], [[DownerEnding #1799]], [[BecomeARealBoy #2000]], [[OfficialCouple #2800]]). It would make a [[DownerEnding tragic irony]] for Faye considering her [[DisappearedDad father's death]], and would let Jeph continue to shift focus onto other characters like [[CreatorsFavorite Claire]].

* Think about it- the world is overrun by talking robots, super heroes, and musicians can release multiple albums within a day. Clearly, someone must have messed around with the "real" world a bit... and who better than Haruhi? She destroyed the world, rebuilt it nearly exactly the same (but cooler), and decided to become a girl who likes indie music and has issues. This is how she gets away with burning down her appartment- she bent the rules a bit so she could live with her love interest, Marten. However, the emotional impact of [[spoiler:her father's suicide]] made for a lot of {{UST}}- just how she likes it. At this point, she's trying to get over her issues while making everything as dramatic as possible. Not to mention, this page needed more Haruhi.

** It's now on 4889 and Marten is in a stable relationship with Claire, who is seriously considering a job in Canada. He's made it clear that if she takes the job, he will quit his job at the library and go with her. Faye, who would have been the main obstacle going because she's his best friend, is happy for him. The conversation in which they established the latter fact takes place in a strip with a copy of Music/MercuryRev's ''Deserter's Songs'' hanging on the wall behind them. This all looks like strong hints that Marten will indeed be moving away, but he won't necessarily be put on a bus; the strip could split into storylines happening in the town and storylines happening in Cubetown.

[[WMG: Yay and Roko will get together and Roko's bodily integration issues will be resolved as a result]]
There are various hints that Yay wants to be more than just friends with Roko. Roko wants romantic partnership but her issues with her new body are inhibiting her social life. The strip is already full of same-sex relationships (not that that's a criticism.) Yay is supremely powerful but Roko knows that Yay would not spontaneously enter Roko's consciousness and sort out her integration issues, even though they could. Nevertheless, one way or another, Roko will fall for Yay and ThePowerOfLove will magically cause Roko's issues with her body to resolve themselves.
