And so begins a new week of QC

and so begins a new week of QC

Stop posting this shit.

Ikr, every fucking day I see this stupid ass comic with the most shitty art style and boring dialogue and premise, it probably surpassed CTRL+ALT+DELETE at this point at being fuck all boring.

no
it can't be every day, since its just published mon-fri

the bluntness of this post is perfect. my fucking sides.

I know we follow it ironically but are there real, honest-to-goodness fans of this tripe?

Jeph lives off of his patreon bux, so yes.

>Having pleasant evening with newly acquainted friends.
>Time to go home.
>"If you hurt ____ I'm gonna kill you!"

Christ I hate this shit. Maybe I'm just super autistic or maybe it's coz I grew up in a redneck wildlife preserve but having people threaten violence at me even jokingly raises my hackles. Just once I'd like to see someone say this only to get immediately knocked the fuck out by a big weirdo like me who can't not take it too literally.

If you reply to this thread expressing your disdain, but don't sage it, you're adding to the problem.

This comic is shit, stop posting it.

That's Faye.

WHEN WILL THE ROBOT BE FUCKED

You have brain problems

What if the person making the threat can back it up big time? I mean, look at Faye and look at who she’s talking to. Faye would drag that bitch in a fight. Besides, it’s a simple warning to not harm her family.

You're autism

>You'll have plenty of chances to talk to me. Thanksgiving, Christmas, funerals...

Black girl gonna kill Faye's sister between Christmas and New Year

and when that DOES happen
because it will
will you foolishly believe yourself free of this strip
like you did when Marten fucked the tranny

this but unironically

>they hated Jesus because he told them the truth.

...

Incidentally, does anyone know what Jeph did to piss off Jackie Wolenhaus?

Faye used to actually punch Marten, leaving bruises and anything. She's probably not joking.

I was going to admonish you for making up obviously fake names but I'll be damned.

We could do edit posts on weekends.

How likely is it that Jeph is actually going to do something worthwhile with this new character? I say .02%.

The sole function of Faye's sister coming back to town with the new character in tow was to serve as part of the lead-up to the Robofucking.

Amanda and Evie are getting right back on the bus and we'll probably never see them again.

Was Jeph the one who shit all over Hiveworks recently? I think Between Failures is technically part of Hiveworks even though it's not listed on the site.

I just realized it, what was their reason for coming? They stayed not even one day and took the plane, which I assume is not cheap, what was the fucking point?

Evie is doing a presentation of some AI psychology research paper bullshit or something like that

Why doesn’t she block or ignore him? That way his stuff won’t show up in her timeline.

>Fucking Northampton is the home for a conference about groundbreaking robotics

This is too far to bend expectations.

To still get DMs from him I guess? I don't really know how twitter works.

To be fair, twitter's timeline viewing options are a joke. I can't even figure out how to get the timeline to show tweets in chronological order.

I want to believe...

This was the latest page when I started reading QC. I was in high school. I can't believe I'm still here.

>Bubbles will be popped

Oh my sides

10 years ago: >I can relate to these hip young characters. They are 20-somethings who don't know what to do with themselves.
Now: >I can relate to these pathetic characters. They are 30-somethings who don't know what to do with themselves.

who the fuck is this and why should i care

The days of Faye not fucking the robot are numbered!

Would it help you maintain faith if I draw something for you, brother?

You can only send and receive dm’s to/from people that you’re mutually following, I believe

...

It's jarring seeing how Anthro PCs were portrayed at the start of the comic to all this rainbow skinned post-singularity oppressed minority shit he turned the robots into in the past few years.

When did this shift start? Was it Momo getting a redesign?

Jeph partially owns Topaco.

it's a dude angry that his clone comic doesn't net the same money that jeph makes.

>Topatoco

God it's like I suddenly remembered Wigu was a comic I used to read. And Goats.

Damn you, Jeph, for making me forget!

He had Anthro PCs cause all webcomics back then had talking inanimate objects and pets and shit.
Then he had Momo introduced in a very unique body that had a lot of human characteristics. Then he realized hannelores dad made a full sized robot body and decided to give Momo one and it all cascaded from there.
Pint size even has a military chassis with a laser at some point, at the same time they had Bubbles style giant armored robots.

It was mono being thirsty for being humaned.

It might help. Bubbles is fucking cute

Yes. He was among the "first wave" of webcomic artists to get decently popular enough to make it a full time gig, and he's maintained a consistent schedule that made it easy to follow along. Many of his most dedicated fans have probably been following since 2004 or 2005, and it would probably be more disruptive to their routine to stop reading than it would be to just check in to the site once a night to read the update

I don't even think it's been two years in Comic Time

The T-Shirt Store is what i'm talking about.

Ok, well what did you have in mind? Something with bubbles?

Yeah, I was a colorist on a webcomic back when QC got started. That was really the time that makes or breaks a webcomic because we didn’t have things like patron back then so you really needed advertising. Also any hiccups in production causes you to practically bleed readers like nobody’s business. The comic that I worked on had several artist switches, colorist switches, hiatuses and so on. Anyone that went the distance as a webcomic and makes a living doing it has my respect because it was very rarely sustainable as a business endevour until very recently unless you just had advertising and sold merchandise like that..

>The comic that I worked on had several artist switches, colorist switches, hiatuses and so on.

Megatokyo?

I forgot that existed. And it sells the This Is Fine dog plushies.

No, Chisuji. I don’t recall megatokyo having artist switches. There was some sort of fall out between the artist and the writer

Is Martin still dating the trap from like 5 years ago? Is he even still in the comic? I know he hasn't been MC in like 7 years

I got some baaaad news for you, user

>Is Martin still dating the trap from like 5 years ago?
Holy shit was that really 5 years ago?

The trap was introduced 6 years ago, but Martin only fucked her about about 3 years ago

...

...

No see, that would have been easier and funnier

...

And this week's irrelevant drama.

Sigh

Here it goes

Shadows and perspective, how do they fucking work?

And Bubble's head changes sizes three times in one page.

I think the robofucking is nearly upon us

AAAHHHHHH how can he have drawn this piece of shit thing for like twenty years as his day job and still be unable to draw a head the same size in profile and quarter-turn

He fundamentally lacks the desire to better himself or his works. He is a slave to this comic, and gives it only the bare minimum of effort, because the bare minimum is all he's capable of anymore.

I'd rather have Moon Over June threads than QC threads

Why does this motherfucker have to be so inconsistent, now I know he's capable of drawing something actually cute

well statistically she pretty much has to be

I wonder if Hacks ever draws porn of his characters.

There was nudity in Alice Grove, and it was so hilariously bad.

This.

Posting this comic should be banable. Im pretty sure Jeff is the one posting it cause any publicity is good publicity

All that would happen is that EDITS would be the thread opener.

You know what, i think i would be okay with that, there have been far too few edits lately.

>He is a slave to this comic, and gives it only the bare minimum of effort
Oh yeah, I briefly forgot that he's actually hated the comic and its fanbase for years and years and only draws if because he knows he has no skills and no way to make even a tenth as much money doing anything else, but resents being a servant to the increasingly shrill tumblr types who could sink him forever for one misstep.

On reflection, I'm not sure I'm mad at all, since his life seems to have been expressly created as his own personal hell for his misdeeds.

>I'm not sure I'm mad at all
I'm not sure WHY I'm mad at all. I still totally am mad though.

That sentence is seriously strangled jeeze

Holy fuck the perspective is shit. They shrink and grow in relation to each other and the room. The window in the background even moves up and down. I picked the wrong year to quit peyote.

So what do we think the countdown on the Robofucking is? End of the week or drag this shit out another month like he always does?

Im guessing 2-3 weeks, this for the conversation start, the later half of this or next week for ROBORACISM, the one after for a accidental I WANNA FUG freudian slip.

I dunno, there's been so much obvious build-up and he's already done the relationship tease so much, I'm half-expecting it to be one of those smash-cut "I can't believe we just fucked" kinda things. But then maybe I'm putting more thought into this than he is

Many years back Yuko Ota of Johnny Wander did a guest strip, and Jeph said that her art looked closer to how he imagined the characters in his head than his own art. I wonder now if he ever considered hiring another artist and reducing his role to simply writing. Would better art with the same old Jeph Jacques writing be a worthwhile improvement?

I say this "fight" will last this week, then the focus will switch over to another couple (How long has it been since Marten showed up?) next week. Then Faye will talk it out with someone the week after

I dunno if this is gonna be a fight so much as Bubbles being upset someone talked about robots in a scientific, objective way to her

I feel that Jeph is going to turn it into a fight

pic related: circa-2004 QC fanart by Yuko Ota.

You know what's funny? I've always thought of the relationship arc between Faye and Angus as a one-and-done kind of thing that was featured in the comic for a few months or a year at the most. Well, just to make sure I looked Angus up on the QC wiki and he was a regular character for nine goddamn years. The whole thing is starting to blend together in my brain.

No, it’s gonna be bubbles feeling upset that she was humansplained to earlier and that she’ll never be seen as anything but a war machine. Never to be accepted by humans and an outcast amongst machines.

Then Faye is gonna pull a Leeta from elfquest move and then robotfucking is onnnnn!

You can't live on a wilderness preserve autismo, they're managed by the government.

/thread

YES. I fucking despise this bullshit. Even moreso when it's comming from a deluded fat girl who thinks she's hard shit. Faye has a temper and has done a little bit of self defence. The literal ONLY person we've seen her actively measured against is marten. Can you imagine her going up against Steve? or fucking Eliot?

What proof is there that she's anything? A few punched up bags? years of abuse to those around her? Wailing on a shinny nutcase way back in the early years?

>Just say No to Futa
Truly Marigold best girl

Still wish bubbles had just fucking ENDED faye that night. Or just tore her a new one. Hell we could have seen that robots can be Just as shit as us. Bubbles should have been the "this is the only work I can get" level of goon. Hardly Loyal, just kinda..stuck there

She once serious hauled off on a robot, user.

Because she's a violent asshole

...

No, Jeph is the master of dragging things out. When characters have "a talk", it usually ends with misunderstandings escalating.
So I imagine Bubbles movies out of Faye's apartment, Faye having some sort struggle again to reminds us "she is still an alcoholic", then shifting storylines to someone else for a while.

Yeah, that’s my point. A hyper aggressive person that hits first with complete commitment usually wins. Faye is a violent asshole that hits with complete commitment. She’s not just selling of tickets. She’s giving legit warnings on things that she’s confident she can and will back up.

>So I imagine Bubbles movies out of Faye's apartment, Faye having some sort struggle again to reminds us "she is still an alcoholic", then shifting storylines to someone else for a while.

Jeph had better not do that shit.

>She’s not just selling of tickets.

*woof tickets
