Thank God someone posted Questionable Content.

Say what you want, but those two deserve each other.

>DarksydePhil gets married
>Dora Bianchi gets married
April's not even halfway through and we're wildin' out over here

Hey look something actually happened

>It's just a business; I can short notice terminate 7 employees, break lease, storage or sell my physical assets, end any supply contracts, then find a new place, sign a rental contract, transfer or purchase new physical assets, hire and train new people, and rebuild a client base in an area with completely different market demands and business regulations. Love is more important.

>"I... I... I don't have a ring, but..."

Use the one you have in your ear you fucking reprobate

>DarksydePhil gets married
Hasn't he been married before and it didn't end well?

People with gauges can't take them out or else their ear holes get all droopy and weird-looking.
Using a small hoop earring as an impromptu ring would actually be cute, though.

>implying any of that needs to happen on short notice
I mean it would because Jeph's an idiot, but out in the real world six months is a reasonable timeframe.

Marten's mom will carry Claire's child for them.

>INB4 Jeph realizes this is the perfect way to dispose of two characters he's bored with

Jeph's entire experience as a "business owner" is just drawing shit, making funny T-shirts, and raking in Tumblr money on Patreon.

I'm going to avoid reposting backgrounds by making all backgrounds have next-to-nothing in them

Even he has to realize it'd be the equivalent of moving QC to a new domain name without telling anyone.

How long in comic have these two been together anyway? Being ready to sell your business at the drop of a hat for someone seems like something that would only happen if you've been with them for quite a while.

This comic is not good.

The entire comic has only spanned for something stupid, like less than a year.

Which also begs the question. Is Coffee of Doom really that successful?
Sure they had a brief mega bump in popularity for a few months when Faye started being super rude to the customers, but she's been fired for a while relativity speaking.
Now the only people you really see making purchases is the tea sniffing murderbot, and Melon buying industrial cleaning products by the bucket.

They've had a few timeskips I believe. I think one happened recently?

Time has no real value in QC. Well, there's not really anything of value in QC but you get my point.

Does anyone actually enjoy questionable content?
Can I get a basic plot synopsis?

Are there any straight characters in this series?

Isn't she the one fucking the robot?

>less than a year
And I thought Dumbing of Age was fucking terrible with its timeline.

He was only engaged and it ended after a month.
Earlier this week he went to his hometown to visit his parents and today he announced he got married.

The last timeskip, I'm pretty sure, was in January 2016. When Faye got butch working for the illegal underground robot fighting ring.

It still can't be very long in universe. Claire is just now taking her final exam, she was introduced when she started her summer internship.
I don't know how many years you have to put in to become a super librarian that (s)he's trying for but I can't imagine it being very many.

Kludging together the two available timelines, something like 2.5 years have passed since the start of the comic. Going by that, Tai and Dora have been dating 10 months, based on the assumption that Claire's exams are occurring at the end of the spring semester. Claire and Marten have been dating for 7 months, and Marigold and Dale for 9 months.

As for the business, I think Jeph has stated that it's successful enough to make a living off of, but not successful enough for Dora to have upward economic mobility.

No.
and no.

>upward economic mobility
I doubt Jeph actually knows what that means.

About 2 years for a Library Science degree, depending on specialty.

is everyone gay in this?
also I though QC was about indie bands or something

Marigold isn't gay, unless you count her loli lust but that's just the weeaboo in her.

I thought it was about robots. This is the schizophrenic comic I've ever read.

>Tai and Dora have been dating for a third of the entire time period covered by the comic

That feels wrong. (I say that as criticism of Jeph's shitty ability to maintain a timeline, not your attempt to decipher it)

I've said it before and I'll say it again. I've never seen someone who hates drawing so much make so many drawings.

>is everyone gay in this?
No, some are faggots

The artist has an indie band
I think a few of the characters have touched instruments but it never went anywhere.
Like most things in this comic.

Marten has a straight friend who shows up about once every year and a half. Penny I think is straight, but I think Jeph's forgotten about her.

Have we seen her? I mean, it's pretty hard to believe.

>2 years for a Library Science degree
In what universe does it take two years to learn how to reshelve books, collect late fees, and perform basic research?

yikes

>Love is more important.
Guess Faye and Angus wasn't True Love.

it used to have a lot of music references and jokes but it hasn't been like that in years

>Just like when he plays, everything was out of control.
Seriously though. If I recall, DSP was subject to an online extortion. He didn't actually meet the woman irl.

Who, DSP's girlfriend? She exists, her name is Kat, and according to kiwis she has a minor criminal record, cheated on her previous boyfriend with DSP via Twitter DMs, and her mother locked her sister in a closet when they were children because she thought she was possessed by a demon.

Reminder than in comic time they've been dating like maybe three months.

Here's a timeline, up until the 2016 skip, which added about five or six months and then another two-ish since the skip.

They've all been written out.

On paper, Raven still works at the coffee shop.

Attached: FUaRG4B.png (7242x1098, 301K)

Please. You have people to do all that for you.

>cheated on her previous boyfriend with DSP via Twitter DMs
>cheated via Twitter DMs
What?

Basically, Phil slid into the DMs and sent a few dick pics or something; we'll likely never know. Meanwhile, her then-current boyfriend eventually caught wind of what was going on and kicked her out. Then DSP claimed he needed to raise money for his taxes, and in an unrelated event he moved Kat in a few months later.

In the past few weeks Phil said he wanted to raise money to pay his taxes again, and this small wedding ceremony is a completely unrelated event.

Does this mean we get a story arc about their scissor-tastic wedding night?

Guess it's been a while since I checked in on Phil, though it's probably a good thing that I'm able to check out on at least one internet bottom feeder who should have faded away 8 years ago.

It's hard to believe Phil was able to upgrade, though she looked like she was trying not to throw up in the video I found so maybe she's actually a hostage. My default guess would he she is angling for a green card, but she doesn't sound foreign.

Sure, he's using the money for unrelated matters, but, on the other hand, I don't believe for a second Phil keeps good records and pays out quarterly.

It's more that Jeph's internal chronology isn't pegged to anything external. It's fairly common among webcomics in general, but becomes noticeable due to Jeph's update schedule and lack of adherence to narrative formatting. Compare it to Dumbing of Age, where each year of strips corresponds to roughly one week chronologically, or Kill Six Billion Demons, where everything is arranged as chapters. From a narrative construction standpoint, QC is a newspaper strip.

That would be handled by the library assistants, colloquially but incorrectly referred to as librarians. Actual librarians may do those tasks on occasion, but their actual job is managing the entire library. There are also specialty librarian positions, such as archiving or restoration/preservation, which don't involve the day-to-day tasks of operating a library at all.

>upgrade
He had it better with Leanna. Then again, she was willing to put up a fight with him, so maybe it wasn't good for his "image".
>she doesn't sound foreign.
I think she's from Wisconsin or Michigan.

>I don't believe for a second Phil keeps good records and pays out quarterly.
He doesn't pay at all. He's currently $17K in the hole to the feds because he missed his quarterly payments.

If you read this you are scum.

As much shit as I like to give this comic for being generally terrible, I appreciate moments like this.

I have a feeling that Jeph wanted this garbage to end years ago but he feels obligated to cater to the tumblr political correctness hugbox crowd because they're stupid enough to keep giving him money for it.

so wait the comic which used to be about robots had straight people in it and was tolerable is not basically just a no music no fun faggot comic about faggots being useless? man glad I lost interest around the time the one virgin neet girl wouldnt leave her room arc started. sounds like it went to shit and only caters to queers and soys and nancies

bitch

It's ok to disagree with that user but don't be misogynistic. What would Jacques say?

Friendly reminder, this was the exact moment this comic started turning to shit.
Well, it was always shit but it became shittier shit.

Attached: QC1293607427877.png (600x1417, 186K)

There is another one on the QC wiki, which extends further but is also incomplete. Either way, the entire QC timeline would be hardpressed to extend past 3 years. Sam first appears in 1957 and is stated to be 13 years old, she states she's 14 in stripe 3161.

Heh, I wonder how did hacques feel when he had to go through all of the archive and purge any non-pc strip from it.

no idea who the dyke looking girl is but that's sorta hot.

wait...he actually went thru and deleted comics cuz it wasnt "pc" enough?

>he doesn't know the forbidden lore

Pretty sure he has also revised some to make them more pc, some higher tier autist can surely tell us which ones because I saw them here.

Do they fuck? Does she fuck the bird?

holy shit that is beyond pathetic. not only does it ruin the story and its history but it shows he's a no balls queer that's scared of upseting 2.5% of the population. glad I dont read this bitch comic anymore

>no one cared about the last thread so ill post it again
if you stop posting, people stop caring
go check the paranatural thread

>$17K in the hole
That's actually not a whole lot for someone self-employed, especially someone who probably doesn't bother itemizing deductibles.

Well, Jeph tried. The result was the Alice Grove abortion, something he ended up hating even more than Questionable Content. And his butt metal albums.

Yeah, he also hastily edited out a rape joke.

Shit, am I gonna have to dig through the Internet Archive and find everything?

>That's actually not a whole lot for someone self-employed, especially someone who probably doesn't bother itemizing deductibles.
He does itemize everything. He treats every expense, from the purchase of video games to the electricity he uses in his house, as a business deductible.

How about you post the real one instead of trying to make me lose fans uh?

if you're the actual author you're a weak cowardly bitch for editing comics and changing things because it might upset a few snowflakes. but whatever this will be dead in a few years and I wont bother thinking about it unless someone makes a thread to promote this for queers by a queer comic.
I loath cowardly men that bend just to appease irrelevant people in life aka 2.5% of the population. die coward

Shut up and give me the patreon money so I can save up for when the canuck science is advanced enough...

Asking for a friend.

Someone colored it. Looks nice. Thanks man!

Has it ever been explained in this comic how humanity continues to exist when every single character is a massive fucking faggot?

>lose fans
>implying anyone here is a fan

This.
Not as a whole but just telling your partner casual oh I'll just sell and rebuild is the dumbest thing I've read in awhile.
Webcomic work spacing are always horrible done. It's like a private club house and all the employees just do quirky stuff all day and treat costumers like bad comments in their comment section.

Are the fat weeb and Hannelore still in this?

Theoretically, she doesnt have to be there to run the business. She could promote someone to manager and come through every couple weeks to pick up the cash or whatever.

Are Dumbing of Age threads not allowed? One was just deleted.

>struggle
I'm sure he absolutely hates being paid as much as a doctor for something he's clearly not even making an effort on. I'm not defending his artistic integrity, but the fact that he's legit pulling 6 figures from this shit probably doesn't bother him at all

Report the guy who keeps posting fetish commissions and don't talk about anything not specifically related to the comic (that is, anything that isn't DoA or David Willis and his past works himself) and you should be fine.

It's a shit comic. This one shouldn't be allowed to have separate threads either.

Should just go full soap and have their wedding be a massacre of used up and/or problematic characters for drama, go the distance.

Nope, got deleted again.
There should be threads so aspiring artists know what not to do.

Hannelore got written out after a disastrous arc where her wealthy mother assigns her a non-binary pronoun person as a personal assistant that Hannelore didn't want. She resolves this by telling off her mom, then sending the assistant to go work for her dad, who also doesn't want an assistant. The enormous hypocrisy Hannelore displayed, though never directly referenced in the comic, was so absurd that Jeph sent her on a nonspecific pilgrimage around the world and we haven't seen her in months

At least we'll never see Tilly again

Marigold became a 2 or 3 time a year side character once she was paired with Dale, as is standard with Jeph.

>howto multiple locations
Seriously, though. She has a pile of experienced staff who could fill senior positions. It's like the original Star Trek movies where everyone is a captain or higher.

He clearly hates himself, though, so money didn't solve his problems. If I had to be stuck in Jeph's self-imposed prison I wouldn't trade my life for his even for the money.

This edit is so realistic I had to check.

Did Jeph get rid of Hannelore so he wouldn't have to draw the faptastic rape bait shota anymore?

Attached: 3576.jpg (800x1160, 244K)

He also hasn't done a Momo/Sam story in awhile. Can't forget about the aborted arc of Sam starting a Let's Play with Marigold that made Marigold look pretty sketch.

>It's like the original Star Trek movies where everyone is a captain or higher.

I don't think Uhura and Chekov ever made it past Commander.

Correct, McCoy and Kirk made admiral, and Spock, Scotty, and Sulu made captain in canon.

>tfw Jeph makes more money than any other webcomics long-runner (aside from Penny Arcade, obviously).
>tfw in the coming 5-10 years it's likely that a lot of the older comics begin to die out because many of them were already adults when they started.

Funnily enough the artist for Cat and Girl was in college when she started it and has gotten married and started a family since she began her webcomic. Her kid's a preteen now IIRC. Does Jeph have a family? I don't keep up with him.

I think he might've gotten remarried, and I don't believe he has kids

Fairly certain he had a vasectomy.

They were honestly cute together

Attached: 3133 c.jpg (800x1180, 189K)

Katie of Awkward Zombie started college, finished it, and became an actual rocket scientist in the time since starting her comic.

That's only because Krahulik and Holkins are actual businessmen and diversified. Jeph probably could have created his own content network if he tried. He was in the right place at the right time to do it.

>many of them were already adults when they started
And Jeph doesn't exactly have the cleanest health record. Besides self-mutilation and drug abuse, he's deferred treatment for his degenerative ear condition more than once. Who knows how many more unnecessary miles he's putting on himself.

>vasectomy
Pic related.

Attached: snipsnip.png (733x1690, 59K)

He has a failed marriage and a currently failing marriage right now.

So all I know about this comic is what is posted here. Is this comic just LGBQTIAS+ the comic? Like it just seems like redicuolius shallow caricatures of woke LGBT community members that's being played straight, instead of ironically.

Am I far off base or is there actual depth to this??

I understand not everyone should or even wants to have kids, and vasectomies are reversible, but I'll never understand people getting snipped if they aren't just playboy Casanovas. Do straight/bi men that don't want kids, on average, really have enough sex for condoms to be ineffective as a general preventative measure? Even worse-case plan B or something, I'unno. It can't be a religious thing because they wouldn't get a vasectomy (or have sex at all) if they were religious and didn't want kids.

this creature gets half his money. he's married to another creature that gets the other half, but so far he's been smart enough to not post pictures of her, so she must be even more heinous than this thing

Attached: claire.jpg (1024x825, 373K)

Yeah, that's about it. These days he's pushing the LGBTQNIGGA+ stuff onto robots because he fears reprisal from his fanbase if he gets anything wrong with humans. Jeph is a straight man with no real-life friends and thus most likely has no experience with this stuff outside of pop culture stuff like Glee, so that's why his characterizations are so shallow.

Jeph's probably fucked less than five females in his life, and, from what I recall, he got the vasectomy during a period where a normal man would suspect a divorce was incoming. But, given he probably married the first girl who would have sex with him, he probably didn't know the signs of waning interest in a mate.

> Allowing these deformed genes to propogate
They're doing Darwin a favor, user.

Attached: 3399-1.jpg (800x351, 66K)

Yeah but he's divorced, so like 50% of his cash goes to that. I think his
greatest skill is how shameless and prolific he is with his e-begging; he seems
to have absolutely zero compunctions about asking for ludicrous amounts
of money to fund his vanity projects where dicks about on whatever
ghey-ass guitar he's bought with his patreonbux.

It's astounding how often he talks about privilege in this shit-show when he
has no problem blowing his money on whatever he wants, money that's provided by tumblr
tards who are probably all on food stamps

Don't forget she still runs the backend of the business. That's even worse than alimony.

Reminder

Attached: 1835.png (600x1417, 172K)

Jeph has a couple times used characters and social media to advocate Childfree.

God, she's such a shit mother

Really, because it seems like they're on bad terms now.

Attached: Cristi's had enough of Jeph.png (577x68, 11K)

no, just like in reality

Someone posted more Twitter caps some time ago and it suggested someone who was glad at first to be free of a bad relationship and then gradually coming to the realization that she had no options. Meanwhile Jeph picks up Patreon after the divorce (and thus probably free from alimony calculations), more fame and popularity, and a new wife. And old wife is just there, withering away.

If I were Jeph I would have shoved $250k in my ex's face to buy her stake out and I'd have done it before the Patreon became absurd. If I were Jeph's new wife I'd make him do that. I have no idea whether she still administrates the business or not.

>human characters
>in a coffee shop
What series is this?

I was going to say Jeph would never do that, but then I realized that the tragic truth is he'd *love* to do some shit like that since all evidence is that he still actually has that gnarly, raunchy sense of humor and just has to choke it down forever to appease his harridan meal tickets. He'd love to do that, but he can't.

>I have a feeling that Jeph wanted this garbage to end years ago
Do you also have a feeling that the sky may have a cool tint? It's been patently obvious for like a decade that QC is a millstone around Jeph's neck, a white elephant he has to keep feeding because it's making him rich at the same time as it's continuously destroying his life.

For some reason that inbreeding jaw is more horrific to me than the entire rest of its face, but for real, how does a rich guy, even a rich cartoonist, end up with a literal 1/10 and feel desperate enough to marry it?

IIRC Holkins' and Krahulik's wives look decent, yet both of them self-admittedly have grave mental problems and Holkins looks like he's genetically predisposed to live under a bridge. It can't be that fucking hard.

>Plus I assume she used to be thinner and extra weight showed up in her neck to eat her jawline.
That doesn't look like a fatty's neck, though. It looks like a normal neck with one of those Jivaro shrunken heads on it.

Also, even if you're right about that it still doesn't explain why he put a ring on something with the face of Mrs. Potato Head.

Jeph was probably worried about getting chewed out for having a character wear a shirt that objectified robots.

Do you have any idea how low his self-esteem is? The shit Yea Forums says about him is nothing compared to the abysmal meaninglessness that is his every waking moment. He sincerely thought she (she?) was out of his league.

>He sincerely thought she (she?) was out of his league.
Jesus Christ. I guess this is what they mean when they say healthy people can't even imagine depression. I literally cannot imagine that mind-state.

I guess that does explain why every picture of him has him looking like his soul is in Hell already, being tormented by leaping, scorpion-tailed demons. But Jesus, it's just incredible to me that he hasn't gotten professional help. Not like he couldn't afford it.

Holy fuck this ex-punishment or whatever of Jeph's is just getting better and better. I went looking for those twitter posts and came across one where she says she's bipolar, on top of everything.

What's that mean?

Everybody in this is bisexual, aren't they?

LGBT

Oh. I should have figured that out...

nah, is just marten leaving forever, so the robolesbians and the autist trio can get more screen time

and a couple of months later, the tranny will be back without him, saying that they broke out and for some stupid reson she (he) is back, but he stayed.

friend of mine says it works like magic, if he cant get it up, a little rimming will get the job done

I want to try, but im ashamed of asking

I think Marigold & Dale, and Marten's mom & her boyfriend. But knowing Hand Stab they probably have some plethora of deviations that make them "not fully straight".

Why is it that trannys always go for library degrees? I know of like 6 in real life pursuing those careers.

This teaches people to be bad partners.

Either the kids or the idea of being fucked in the library turns them on.

they also go for speedruning degrees

He wasn't rich when he started the comic in like, 2005 or whenever it was

>inserting your impregnate mom fetish

Marten is straight.

True, but he came from a really affluent family, hence his weird ideass about how poor people can't afford raisins.

of course, the only ones that can breed are mixed race. bravo jeff

I don’t think anybody in this whole comic is “the mature one” except maybe occasionally Pintsize.

Attached: 1474603801122.jpg (593x768, 99K)

No it didn’t. Not officially yet, anyway. If a new lesbian wedding arc doesn’t go over well with the fans for whatever reason, Jeph’ll just say “oh, Tai was just kidding. After Marten walked out, her sentence ended with ‘Will you... make me a coffee?’”And they’re not getting married at all, because Jeff cannot commit to anything without unanimous outside approval.

I don’t see why the readers wouldn’t want it, though, so they’ll probably get married anyway.

Yeah, this. Someone in Dora’s position wouldn’t be weird to follow their partner if they got a new job, it just simply wouldn’t happen overnight.

I thought he just got rid of Hannelore because he just didn’t have any story ideas for her that didn’t involve Tilly, but everyone hated Tilly so much he had to literally launch her into space to write her out.

What you said about Hanners being a massive hypocrite there is true and all, but I don’t think that’s the part that even bothered him.

The irony here is... really something.

There it is. I’d be okay with this.

Speedrunning health plans include dilation stations, that's why.

They got married after QC was already established. It wasn't nearly as profitable as it is now, but it was already supporting both of them and there was every reason to assume more money would keep rolling in.

Attending a "make your own liberal arts curriculum and grade yourself" private college is a pretty good hint to Jeph's economic background.

I think it was a passive-aggressive stab at the fanbase. Despite her lack of use, Hannelore remained one of the most popular characters. Jettisoning her was Jeph's petty revenge for his "ungrateful" readership rejecting Tilly. Jeph even took the trouble to make it asexual, the nerve of these people.

No, it's not really normal to torpedo your small business because your medium term fuck buddy gets a low-paying job somewhere that she is likely to have difficulty keeping because she is a drug addict and irresponsible, incompetent, and unqualified in other ways.

What bother me about how he handled Tilly was that he has repeatedly shown that he's perfectly fine with massively revamping character personalities on the fly. All he had to do was give her some kind of personality trait that wasn't "I use they/their pronouns" and it would have been fine.

Tilly had a gimmick outside of her gender status. She was supposed to be a hyper competent personal assistant that overdoes everything to hilarious results. The gag formula between her and Hanners was supposed to be that Hanners didn’t want an assistant to begin with, she’d send Tilly on some menial task just to make Tilly feel better, and Tilly would do it 300% to a ridiculous point. Like Hanners would ask her to order a pizza and Tilly would have it flown in from Italy.

The trouble was that nothing about that relationship or Tilly’s characterization was interesting. The joke got old very fast. Tilly wasn’t charmingly annoying like she was supposed to be, she was just regular annoying. There was still an idea there, there was some sort of (typical and flat) character there, but it just wasn’t interesting. If anything, Tilly being gender nonconforming was a secondary trait that Jeff injected into her to give her some appeal, which then failed.

Why does every fucking death metal band have the same logo

What is he doing in the last panel.

Reminder that Martin literally, LITERALLY, only even lives in this city because he was chasing some girl who moved here. As far as anyone can tell that was only a couple of years ago.

It would have worked better if the Hannelore character wasn't already notoriously meticulous and organized. Early Marigold is the one who should have a personal assistant, though she already did. Her name was Hannelore.

That's Jeph's version of "nope outta here".

I realize I don't follow QC closely enough to tell these characters apart, and that the hair doesn't have enough personality to set them apart either.

I feel like if you're going to draw the same face of every character, you have to wild with the hair like an anime. Just fucking nuts. Otherwise how am I supposed to tell one hipster lesbian from another.

Even the robots blur together for me and I think they're supposed to be color coded, but I'm worried that one or more has the same color as another and I might be confused which one is having a homosexual awakening this arc.

Dora and Marten have a really similar face. Flat Dora or Twink Marten?

That's a pair of boobs from being practically any other character in the comic. They all look exactly the same.

I think the transgender girl is the only one I easily recognize because of the buck teeth, but then she looks almost the same as her brother and every time I see him I think Jeph stopped drawing the buck teeth and that the girl cut her hair.

Add in Emily and no one knows what the hell is going on.

She just doesn't take care of herself, but she should seeing she has two super hot girlfriends to take care of.

Why is she trying to rape Big Billy Quizboy?

I think Hannelore being obsessive compulsive and already very organized was supposed to be part of the joke about why she didn’t need or want an assistant.

Libraries are low intensity work environments with limited social interaction.

Hacques changes their hair at random pretty often too, which doesn’t help.

It doesn't work, though. Either you have a character insist she's perfectly fine but actually a disaster and eventually accepting the help (which actually happened with Marigold) or you build up the assistant only to show her as less competent than the most disorganized cast member and use her as a punching bag. Most people have been in this situation where a know-it-all busybody control freak is constantly in their business but with nothing real to offer, and they find it repulsive, which makes it impossible to like the character.

This is the face and actions of someone abused as a child.
The more I look at this strip the more Martin becomes an object of pity.

You can work with that too. Either Tilly gets demoted to tertiary cast and is basically everyone's assistant, used to facilitate plots that would otherwise conflict with cast members' jobs, Tilly is hypercompetent and does everything to the extreme - but only for minor, easy things and fails spectacularly when tackling large or complex projects, or you make her Marigold's nemesis.

"Someone emailed me recently complaining that the "soul" had somehow gone out of my comic, that I was simply going through the motions. I don't respond to cranky email as a rule, I have better things to do with my time, but this accusation struck me as being particularly ludicrous.

Questionable Content isn't just my job. It's the single most fulfilling thing I've ever done in my life. If you think it sucks, or the artwork is bad, or whatever, that's okay. Everyone's taste is different- I suggest checking out other DayFree Press comics instead, or poking around on my links page until you find something more to your liking. But if you suggest that I'm somehow resting on my (nonexistant) laurels, or phoning it in, or in any way shape or form being insincere in my efforts to do this comic to the best of my ability, then I can say with utmost confidence that you are wrong. I wear myself out on each and every strip*. I want to improve so bad sometimes it makes my head hurt. I do QC because it makes me happy, and I like the challenges it provides. Everything else, be it audience or t-shirts or a good Alexa ranking or whatever, is secondary.

So if you like the comic, great! I'm glad you found it and hope you'll stick around. If you don't like the comic, that's okay. Check back in a while, maybe it'll be more to your liking then. But don't think, even for one second, that I'm not pouring my heart and soul into this thing. QC may be my job, but even if it weren't it'd still be my lifeblood.

I miss the old Claire design. Not even talking about the piercings but the overbite and big nose.

The earlier version of Claire the better she looked.

I'm deeply sorry, I meant 20016.

Attached: 3127.png (800x1180, 150K)

First appearance Claire didn't look good, lakehouse through wedding era Claire was top-tier with a mousy sort of cuteness.

It's almost like having a nose piercing is fucking retarded. Who'd have thought.

It'd be no different than any other piercing and any kind of thermal transfer would be mitigated by Claire exhaling.

I think the question we need to be asking here, is how do you replicate his succcess?

So many other better webcomics out there, do people really just throw money at whatever updates the most/panders ?

The primary issue with believing that is that art takes time, and the the amount of time it took to make a piece of art can to some extent be discerned, especially in comparison. When I paid attention to some of his livestream drawing years ago, it would take 2-3 hours, sometimes longer. Now that it generally looks simpler, I think he rarely takes more than 2. People don't usually speed up and get sloppy doing something they're passionate about, they do that to stuff they just want done.

>It'd be no different than any other piercing
Have you seen faces? Noses are the most prominent feature and least able to be covered part of the anatomy. And warm breath isn't going to change the sensation at the contact point- no one exhales air faster than metal cools.

You're talking about a tiny piece of metal in direct contact with the skin constantly being hit with warm air. Her gauges should be giving her more issues than her septum piercing.

It's kind of a moot point anyway since she's wearing a scarf that covers both her ears and nose.

>no one exhales air faster than metal cools
The body creates a pocket of warm air, it's why quilted jackets are thermal efficient and why wind 'cuts', it's pushing the pocket of air away. Wearing a heavy scarf should have provided enough insulation to keep her lower face warm by trapping that hot air.
That said, septum piercings are fucking retarded and I've never seen one that didn't look like a slight to the person's face.

>do people really just throw money at whatever updates the most/panders
Pretty much, but the biggest source of his success is he started early. Back when mediocre comics were the norm and people didn't expect much.
It had a semi-interesting world, more interesting than it is now. The coveted "maybe they'll fuck" hintings. Some interesting side characters, that have all been written out now.
Combine all that with consistent daily updates and that was enough to become popular back in the day.
Now it's greatest draw is people have been reading it for so long it's just become a routine. Kind of like a newspaper comic strip. You might not enjoy it anymore but it's trivial to keep reading and it's not bad enough that you feel the need to stop.

So basically, if anyone else was to create a comic in modern day - it's not gonna ever reach the heights of Questionable Content - even if its a better written,drawn or whatever comic..?

That's pretty shit.

That's how it is for most markets as they mature. It's basic economics: a newcomer has to carve a new niche, innovate, buy out an existing player, and/or leverage some other factor. Tesla is the first new major US automobile manufacturer in decades, and it took all of that and more. And it still may not survive. Google will be the dominant search engine until some major shift takes place. And so on.

Nose rings are for slaves.

>Do you have any idea how low his self-esteem is
Fairly high, paradoxically. He thinks he's the best shit, like your typical egomaniacal millennial.
He treats all his readers with disdain*, and considers himself a noted wit.

*While QC readers do deserve ridicule, he's in no position to talk

I've read the whole thing like three times through and
no, i don't really like it, and no I can't give a synopsis. nothing happens, nothing changes, it's boring as Shit. But for some reason when I've stayed awake listening to metal for 3 days without sleep I find myself reading this damned comic again without meaning to

No, I was seven.

MODS

I'm pretty sure the story checks out

Anyway hannelore is hottest with normal hair

If he was seven then he'd be about twenty-one now, not exactly the world's most outrageous claim.

This. Coffee shops are fun and all but the amount of traffic and customer base you need is stunning, especially when you consider that it's a coffee shop and good coffee is really easy to find these days.

They did establish that Dora makes really good coffee grounds on site. She even sells some to the bakery in exchange for their pastries.

And most coffee shops these days seem to have higher margin companion products. Other than a temporary alliance with the bakery years ago, the place seems to sell nothing but coffee. With a half dozen employees, rent, and other overhead, they'd probably need to pull in $2000-$3000 per day just to break even. If you've ever worked in a mom and pop shop you know this can be a stretch, especially if you're making that money 1-5 dollars at a time.

She's running an independent coffee shop in an upper middle class college town, $5 is probably on the lower end of what you can expect to pay there. Also the profit margins on most items in a coffee shop are insane.

It was so long ago

>someone who was seven years old at the start of QC is old enough to drink now

I feel old.

That comic they're discussing wasn't even the start of QC, that was three years or so into its run. He'd stopped drawing like a cack-handed whale already.

just think, we're further now from Dora and Marten breaking up than Dora and Marten breaking up was from the start of the comic

Habitable Earth is sinking into the sea, having a child is selfish.
