Don't worry Jeph, you're one of the few comic writers who are very consistent with their deadlines (even if you have to stay up until 5am to get it done!). If you need to take a day off here and there, then you've certainly earned that right with your stellar track record over the last few years.

Also, don't overwhelm yourself trying to "mix things up." I don't think any of us will hold you to that. New art/stories could be interesting, but more of the same is perfectly fine. Wink

If anyone has a problem with Jeph not posting tonight/today (which is ludicrous considering he is one of the few well-known, GOOD webcomic artists out there that actually does shit on time, nevermind publish more than one comic a week!) deserves to have something sharp and pointy shoved up their ass. This is not a diss at all to Jeph's work.. but seriously, its just a web comic. The world will not end for you if you do not get your daily dosage of QC (besides.. how do you survive on the weekends?!).

As the others have said, Jeph, take the time you need. Real life comes before comic life.

At this rate he'll be spending more time apologizing than he will on the actual comiic.  Besides, all he has to do is draw Sweet-Tits in a thong and he's pretty much satisfied a good 60-75% of the audience.

I've had creative blocks a lot worse than Jeph.  Me, I can't imagine churning out a comic five days a week, each and every freaking week, and have it not be about the caliber of Family Circus or Wizard of Id for cliched suckitude.  If he just needs a night off, we'll survive.

Woah, we don't deserve a new comic, Jeph! Hell, I've been reading from the first year of the strip and have never bought a single piece of merchandise. And I'm pretty sure I'm in the majority unless your sale figures are the same as your unique visitor count.

Take it easy - you've been spoiling us for years, you can afford to slack off for a day.

How QC is better than a pizza.

If a pizza is 30 minutes late, you get it for free. We get QC for free even when it arrives "on time" (and Jeph has never promised any particular delivery time).

QC is still good the next morning.

QC never comes with anchovies.

I too hope Jeph is all right and look forward to his latest experiments with the artwork.

I agree with most of the previous sentiments: jeph, just chill, man. It's all good. If anything, it's your AUDIENCE that are the slackers. Sit back, drink something (or smoke something, whatever), invite some friends over for some downtime. Whatever it takes to recharge the creativity.

Momo should get Pintsize to beta test any updates she likes in the future. At least she can laugh at his expense. Or get that anthro-Linux to do it, he always needs to be taken down a peg or two (or several).

*hugs Momo* It's okay, honey, everything's going to be fine, where's your backup?...

Err ... QC is the second best web comic I know of.

Best one is Order of the Stick ... sadly with a lot of inside D&D humor, but still it got the unparalleled epic story stuff and the humor, too.

On a personal note, take care of you, Jeph. If doing the comic helps keep you moving, then do it, if it's just making it harder, then don't. I think it's been made pretty clear already that no one is going to think less of you if you need to take a break.

Jeph, I know the comic helps.  And nothing gets you over the "I'm not worthy" feeling than getting something out there that is really worthy! 

This strip may not have been what you had in mind (how often are they?), but a side trip into AnthroPC humor is always welcome, and doesn't really happen often enough.  And this trip was... well... trippy! 

You might want to talk to someone (a professional) about SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder.  I know you're on meds, but sometimes things get thrown out of whack by your environment.  I know that fall has a weird (negative) affect on me, since I was a kid.  Sleeplessness, a general panicky feeling, depression, and a few other symptoms that sound a little like what you're going through.  I got through it in the 70's-80's through psychotherapy (before there were meds), and my daughter and I now use light therapy.  It can work! 

Remember, fall doesn't suck, and neither do you!

Oh nooo Momooo! But Jesus, if I had an AnthroPC and that happened to mine... I would... probably start to cry. undecided Freaky as fuck. Although once she figures it out and fixes it Momo is going to look so cute with fingers and feet!

Also, Hanners look cute as FUCK in the second panel. I don't know what Jeph did, but I think that has to be one my favorite poses or whatever of a QC character!

Jeph can, if he chooses, take some satisfaction in the fact that he stepped outside his comfort zone on the artwork and the only criticism anyone had is that it lacked anchovies.

Today's comic really gives me a deep respect for Jeph, even deeper than I had before. The fact that he's able to function at all through all of this, let alone put out a comic, let alone have it actually be good is astounding. Jeph may not think he's very good, but today proved that Jeph at his very worst point is still better than most at their best.

As far as I understood it, it's an update to OtakuPCs. Pintsize with fingers would be horrible. Or horribly good. But with him without fingers, there's possible probable guaranteed envy and drama between the AnthroPCs, too.

I just noticed that Momo has four fingers in the beginning! That's doubleplusungood, because four is death!


Oh and nice hair.
