Questionable Content

Go To

I thought we had a thread for Questionable Content before, but I can't seem to find it.

Anyway, I just needed to say that today's comic bummed me out, as it did its creator. I hope Faye doesn't go through with it. There's a pretty good chance she'll have a change of heart, I think. Sven definitely needs some comeuppance - karma still needs to bite him for that time he kicked Marten out the bathroom to deal with his date. What a jackdouche.

Also, if he wants people to stop shipping characters, don't put so many damn Ship Tease scenes in there.

99.99% of all Ship Tease scenes in existence in all media are only in the head of the shippers. I can prove it with graphs!

Are you hitting on me, Erik?

Anyway, I was also a bit bothered by the drinking, being a non-drinker myself. But I figured each to their own.

Even the Girl Genius creators, who seem to like us, have on their Extra Fun page:

"tvtropes.org, with which we are completely unaffiliated, is happy to let us know how much of a cliché our story really is. Ouch. (Warning: This site is fascinating and will eat hours of your time.) "

So I can see why other authors would be put off or annoyed.

I'm sure it was playful. But it does say something that they'd have the idea in the first place.

About QC, there is a lot of alcohol, but also the bad consequences thereof...

And this is why you vet firmware updates. Laughed at the title.

According to our shíppers, duh!

(Give reasons for shipping Jethro and Erik include "They talked to eacg once" and "They live on the same continent - the author of TV Tropes must mean they are a couple!")

The commentary there is kind of worrying, to say the least.

Question: How did Momo play the MMO for Marigold earlier?

Stay classy, Angus.

So, anyone else notice the QUALITY drawing this week? Jeph seems to be having an off day.

I hadn't really noticed, though I did get the vague feeling something was different. I don't think it's really bad though—I think he might be experimenting (as he so often does) with a slightly simpler style, maybe to save himself some time.

Marigold and Angus are sweet together. Not in a shippy way, though. It's kind of odd that we're getting this without seeing how their friendship got to this stage, though I guess that's only in contrast to how we've seen just about every other dynamic in the comic reached its current point from the beginning of the relationship (the only major ones I can think of that don't fit that are Marten's relationships with Steve & Pintsize).

He did note how this was his latest comic yet... wonder if somethings causing him to rush.

Seems to me he had a smaller crisis earlier - a week ago or something, where he apologized to the readers for being whiny and late.

Quick question from a guy who wants to start reading this: where should I start in the archives? 1500 comics is a little much, and I heard it picks up at strip 500.

Wait, when did I get a manga blog?

Start a few strips before then—50 to 100, I'd say—so you get a sense of who the characters were and how they interacted before that particular bombshell. It's a tearjerker series of strips that starts around 500, but the effect probably would be lost if you're not familiar with the character.

Or subscribe to Google Reader,search for and add the QC feed,then set the "Feed Settings" to "Sort by oldest". Voila! All the comic on one continuously-scrolling page.

Edit: Wait,that doesn't work. You have to keep hitting Page Down. Click Show List (top-right corner),go to the start,then click Show Expanded.

Edit Edit: And the feed doesn't go back that far - only to #1064sad.
