Not to make more work for him but I hope that means he'll have to redraw some of them like he did in book one; I liked seeing older strips in the current style.  :-)

My memory is that he was learning dialog as well as drawing skills; I like the early art, and dialog, because it tells a story but also shows his fans how far he's progressed.

For Volume 3, he's got a pretty significant number of "guest strips" in his archives in the 600-899 range. Wonder if he's gonna go all the way up to the arrival of HannerMom.

I've actually bought two of the QC books as a presents (but never had time to look through them properly either time...)

Do guest strips appear in the QC books?

How much of this is due to Faye?

He may have been growing up already by the time they had their affair. He treated her better than he treated Genevieve, for example.

I think the big thing that started Sven changing was Faye calling him out on a lot of his BS, which made him take another look at a lot of the feelings he'd been suppressing. Also, did the art change slightly? I feel like something changed for the better but I can't figure out what.

Speaking of which, Sven shouldn't be wearing that shirt. Misrepresentation of identity! D:<

Sven is right, no takebacks allowed, in fact... Dora probably needs to make another apology just because she didn't bother to ask before.

It matches the highlight colour of the main menu above, too.

A century ago, pink was regarded as the male colour, not the female:

Quote from: Wikipedia
An article in the trade publication Earnshaw's Infants' Department in June 1918 said: "The generally accepted rule is pink for the boys, and blue for the girls. The reason is that pink, being a more decided and stronger color, is more suitable for the boy, while blue, which is more delicate and dainty, is prettier for the girl."  From then until the 1940s, pink was considered appropriate for boys because being related to red it was the more masculine and decided color, while blue was considered appropriate for girls because it was the more delicate and dainty color, or related to the Virgin Mary.  Since the 1940s, the societal norm was inverted; pink became considered appropriate for girls and blue appropriate for boys, a practice that has continued into the 21st century.

And pale pink is a common colour for shirts in a formal office to this day.

Incidentally, the term "pink" for a huntsman's red jacket comes not from the colour, but from the name of the maker who originated it.  Pink's is still a respected tailoring firm.

Take away the band name, and what you have left is a femmy dude in a pink shirt talking about his decreased interest in sex with hot chicks.



Just sayin...

Keep the band name, and what you have is a femmy dude in a pink shirt telling his sister about decreased interest in sex with hot chicks while wearing insignia of a man who performs songs of often incestuous psychosexual nightmares in heavy makeup, naked from the waist down in the tortured persona of Ziggy Stardust "Georgie Fruit."

Yep. In fact, last summer I went to Montreal for the first time, and it was awesome.  But I'd never heard of the band.

Sven might be pining for Faye but, short of Gary showing up, he isn't stupid enough to actually pursue her again, especially not when she's otherwise occupied.

Or someone naive. I once wore a pink piece of clothing in public and suddenly some man started hitting on me. Hu ! I like that color, but I dont wear it anymore.

You should try it sometime.  That is, drinking out of a mason jar, it doesn't have to be alcohol.

It has to be surrounded by a bunch of people wearin' overalls, sittin' on rockin' chairs on the veranda and speakin' in a dialect that uses heavy doses of "y'all" and "all y'all" and "fixin' to go".

Oh, and there has to be a cracker barrel.
