Actually, as previously stated, they may well confuse those of us in the know more than anyone else.

Sorry, I just read this tonight.

Don't be snarky at me, I was being sarcastic. I mean, I do like the comic, but about the band stuff I was just being silly.

Faye is still in the comic, she just took a vacation and went home.  She and MArten didn't hook up, though.

I think it was a good idea for Faye and Marten NOT to hook up, though I am a bit wary as to where the relationship with Dora comes in.  I mean, I LOVE UST, but it has to be resolved one way or another eventualy.  You cant have never ending UST in a story, but you also dont want to resolve it too soon, or risk the 'spark' that it provided from going away.  Like in the show Dark Angel, once the main couple got together, for me anyway, the show just wasnt as good. 

QC's story, despite everything else, is mainly built on Faye and Marten's relationship.  I think them admitting they have feeling for eachother, yet NOT getting together is the right thing for the longevity of the strip.  Marten going on to have relationships with other characters will add a new demension to the story AND possibly bring more character development with Faye realising she's not okay with it, Dora constantly doubting weahter she is Marten's second best choice, and/or Marten still pining over Faye while trying to make his relationship with Dora work.  Add Hannelore, Marten's (self admittedmy) insane stalker, and the always random and wonderful Pintsize to the equation, and I think QC will only get better, although a tad more soap opera-ish, but that's better than NOTHING EVER HAPPENING EVER!

Yes.

QC got heavy for a while there, but when he sticks to stuff like the recent strips with the increased popularity of the shop? I enjoy it a lot.  I'm with you, S2S, if I got the references, it might lower my enjoyment of it....but since I don't, I just gloss over them

It took me a little while, but I finally realized why I can't read the comic.

All the people, especially the women, stand in this strange pose with arms dangling back and hips outthrust. I suppose they're all meant to be laid-back or relaxed, or possibly showing fashionably cool bad posture. Either way, it's like all the girls are air-humping, or maybe rather drunk and losing their sense of balance and stance. It doesn't look cool, it just looks uncomfortable and badly balanced.

And, well, just as the same sense of sarcastic humor is shared by characters, the same body is shared as well. I mean... you could swap heads around on the various bodies (skin tones as well I guess), and no one would notice. Same personalities, same bodies, same jokes and quips... It's as if the author only has two or three characters in reality, but feels that more bodies in the panel make for a better comic. Lack of creativity.

I kept expecting them to link up arms and start skipping through the panels. Sorta Wizard of Oz meets "Indie Music Scene" Hype.

I actually like this comic, but I hate this overused stock character.

The over violent female. In no way is this even cute any more. It's EVERYWHERE. I get to hurt you, and it's ok because I'm female and I'm sexy and grrr! With my vagina, I'm allowed to act in a manner that would get the police's attention if I were a guy! I'm so emotionally stunted and so quick with harming something that offends me even in the slightest that I don't even have time to give it thought that perhaps I'm overreacting! And even if I am, it's fun! Yay!


Yes, I realize the folly of saying such a comment here. But so many people are interested in Non PC and being able to say whatever what you like without wanting to accept any responsibility or reprecussions, I figured I'd give it a whirl. Did feel pretty good.  ;D

I liked Hannelore a lot more before she got the haircut.  Best Hannelore comic ever was either a) the introduction when she met Marten in the men's room, or b) when she was cleaning her apartment in hardhat and filtration mask. 

As for Faye, she might be violent, but it's all threats.  She never actually hits anyone or anything.  Maybe she goes to the gym and takes it out on the boxing bag. 

Lately the comic has been kind of eh.  But I'm sure it'll get better again.  QC is one of the few comics that I read on a daily basis, all the others I just check periodically(don't get me started on Megatokyo).
