I just have to say...
Jackie Blue:
Having Faye go on a date after 1000 strips and over 3 years of real-life time would be "rushed"?
The plot is already progressing at a glacial pace, for crying out loud. I sincerely hope Jeph is not planning on doing his 5000th strip when he's 40 and having it center around Faye's second date. I could be entirely wrong but I would really hope he has some bigger plan for his life than doing a QC strip every day for the rest of it, and that to that end he has some sense of actually working to a conclusion that doesn't take nearly a decade.
Doug S. Machina:
Fair point.

What about the arc going on now? (ie. the karaoke war)
And the "LOOK AT MY ASS AND TELL ME IT'S PRETTY!"? And the following chair fight?
Sure, things aren't as dramatic as they were a while back when Faye was revealling all that stuff about her dad, but I still wouldn't call the current progression "glacial pace". The way I see things, this comic is meant to be a bit of (high quality and brilliant) fun for everyone's day, not the most action-packed, drama-filled, shocking-OMFG-worthy comic on the net. Things will evolve if we just give it time, but I think rushing the plot line for the sake of a bit of excitement would be a big mistake.

That line was comedy gold. Also, "What else have I failed to notice today? Are my pants on backwards? Am I on FIRE? DID I KILL A GUY EARLIER?" Angus was fun. (I'm not going to go through the whole archive for the high points.)

Thank you. I couldn't articulate that for some reason.

I'm not talking about rushing the plot for excitement, I'm talking about whether QC is a story that will have a conclusion sometime this decade or if it's just like a newspaper comic strip along the lines of Garfield or Doonesbury that will only end when Jeph dies and will be the only thing he does with his talent?
Maybe I'm weird, but I'd rather see QC get wrapped up and Jeph go on to work on something a bit more planned-ahead and solid from a storytelling standpoint.
