Long time reader dipping my toe in the forum
« on: 27 Sep 2013, 07:45 »

I posted a few times many years ago, but I thought I'd formally introduce myself and say hey.

A friend recommended QC to me about five years back, and I've been a daily reader since, plus at least a few archive read throughs.  Generally, I find nearly all the changes to be positive, from art to characters to the writing.  Reading some of the early strips is rough, because I find Marten's crush on Faye so bewildering.  Of course, I have to remember that I've had my irrational crushes that go on way too long.  Still, the early strips did more telling us directly that Faye is a super cool indie queen, while the later strips do more to show her humor and good personality.  Obviously some of that is her own character growth, but in general I think Jeph is getting way better at showing why two people like each other.

Anyway, I always have to remind myself that the QC cast will forever be in their mid-twenties, as I hurtle onward towards middle age.  Still, one of the better depictions of that time I've read.

Welcome!

I thought I understood his crush on Faye. She's still my favorite character.

I see some confusion with your name and Method of Madness' signature in the near future.

Anyway…
