will QC ever end?

<< < (12/18) > >>

AndrewDB:
Am I the only one who actually thinks Jeph should end it by uprooting the characters we've all known and flip their rolls completely?

Example:

Hanners suddenly becomes a messy freak who goes off and has as much sex as possible..

Faye becomes really nice..

Sven becomes a priest. (Its the best thing I could think of..)

Martin becomes............................. uh.. Martin.


Etc.

nicolettesue:
After some pretty shocking plot twist (a wedding, a character death, some huge natural or apocalyptic disaster) Jeph will tie the ends off nicely with one of those "Where are they now?" comics that's set 20 years in the future.

"Hannelore went on to become the CEO of a vast empire of corporate and consumer cleaning services.  She makes more money than both of her parents, and has entered into a rather satisfying relationship with version 4.5 of the boyfriend robot."

"Raven went on to win the Nobel Prize for Chemistry after discovering a compound that would safely and completely rid the world of all its chemical and nuclear waste.  She claims she was just trying to make espresso."

"Marten and Dora dated for a while, weathering a few pregnancy scares, before they figured out that they just weren't right for each other.  They each lead rather contented lives with their significant others, but they occasionally wonder if their relationship's demise could have been averted."

"Penelope reveals her true identity to be that of Pizza Girl in a bestseller tell-all autobiography that is the start of her highly successful literary career.  She is courted from time to time by a cloaked stranger, but chooses not to out her secret admirer, lest her hopes be destroyed."

"Angus is happily married with two kids.  After finally getting the picture that Faye wasn't interested, he turned his affections on someone else, who reciprocated."

"Marten no longer keeps up with Steve, but we understand that Steve reunited with Ellen for a brief period of time.  Nothing more is known."

"Sven revived his music career in an effort to pay the bills, but he found fame and fortune that he had never known before.  Not yet married, it is unclear whether Sven was able to shake Faye out of his system."

"Faye returned to the south after Marten and Dora left Massachusetts, finally facing her demons.  She looks back at the last twenty or so years with great happiness, recognizing that it was all of her friends who helped her become whole again."

The strip ends with the gang each visiting the coffee shop, which has since been converted into some other business.  Individually, they reminisce about the past, marveling at how quickly it turned into the future.

Jeph ties up most ends, but he leaves certain things unsaid--mostly about whether or not people are really happy.  It's like life, really.  We get somewhere and we look back, wondering if the decisions we made were the right ones, always wondering if we're as happy as we could be.  An appropriately bittersweet ending, and one with plenty of mystery for us as readers.

Of course, this is all just my projection.  I think we should listen to Jeph and his truck theory, if only because he's the author.  :-)

Thaes:
I think today´s strip revealed the end of QC: everyone else except Hanners turns out to be an actor hired by her parents. As this also means that all the drama between the characters has been but a part of a cleverly orchestrated play, the combined frustration of the readers will dissolve the ozone layer, bringing the life as we know it do its end.

Doug S. Machina:

So Hanners will complete some undertaking that shows she doesn't need social training wheels any more, and the whole charade will be revealed. There will be a wrap party and everyone says "Well, nice working with you. See you around." and leaves.

"Jeph."
"What?"
"There's a mob of angry QC readers gathered outside. I think they've surrounded the building."

--- Quote from: Daggor on 23 Apr 2008, 20:36 ---I'm thinking Dora dies, Marten goes crazy because Dora die and leaves the area, Faye and Raven leave to try and get Marten back, while they are gone, it is revealed that Sara wasn't actually eaten by Allusaurs, and she gets it on with Angus, causing Pizza Grl to break the Vespa Avenger out of jail, and with the help of the CIA agent that took away Pintsize's weapons, they destroy Sara, causing Angus to get so depressed he drinks a gallon of milk, killing him. Then Wil gets revenge by blowing up the Vespa Avenger, the CIA agent, and Pizza Girl with a thermonuclear bomb. Before Wil can do this, Steve's crazy girlfriend kidnaps him, but Wil overpowers Morgue Chick, Wil decides instead of just blowing up the CIA agent, Pizza Girl, and Vespa Avenger with the Thermonuclear bombs, he'll destroy anyone in the blast radius instead. Meanwhile, Faye and Raven end up getting so angry at each other, they kill themselves (Faye kills Raven and Raven kills Faye). This causes the Coffee of Doom to be shut down. Without the supply of Coffee and with Scott's complete and utter inability to direct traffic, car crashes become rapid one of which crushes Scott then sets him on fire, and one going straight into Faye's mother's house, killing Faye's mom and Faye's sister. Hannelore goes to her dad to get help, and her dad rushes downward with his spaceship, but loses control and crashes into Marten's mom's house. The Makeout Hobo gets AIDS and goes on a last minute sex rampage, ending with infecting another 10 females with AIDS, one of which looks a lot like Dora and flees into the woods, meeting Marten, who looks like her dead ex. They conclude that they are each other's dead ex's and that reality is playing a trick on them, but it just ends with Marten getting AIDS and the two dying.
Meanwhile, Wil is still attempting to avenge the death of Angus, but ends up misfiring and killing Steve. Out of remorse, the CIA agent, Vespa Avenger, and Pizza Girl all commit cyanide laced kool-aid suicide. Pintsize and Winstlow see the chaos, and attempt to sacrifice the Linux Anthro-PC, but the fumes from the sacrificial burnings just end up killing Amir and Natasha. The Tequila Monster takes pity on Tai and takes her to another dimension to be a student and learn the ways of helping those drunk on various forms of alcohol. The Tequila Monster takes Tai to a magical palace made of gold with fountains of every time of beer, wine, whisky, or other assorted alcoholic beverage to ever touch the lips of man, and enough gold to uncorrupt every poltician in the world. However, the Tequila Monster has made a dangerous, drunken mistake, he realizes that by taking a human into his realm, he has released a deadly computer virus, infecting Winslow and Pintsize turning them into killing machines, Tai tries to return to her own realm to stop the chaos, but is destroyed in the transition. The Tequila Monster then sees the impending doom of all mankind and redirects time so that when viewers click "Next" on the page of the last comic, they are re-directed to the first comic, thus creating the Matrix.

I FORGOT PENELOPE!
Now that I think about it, it seems appropriate that in an attempt to simultaneously woo the Large Hadron Collider and Penelope, Wil formulated this plot with a vengeful Bourbon Monster, The destruction to prove worth to the Large Hadron Collider, and Dora's death to get Penelope in prison (Yes, Wil framed Penelope with the death/murder) so Wil could reveal shocking evidence that proves Penelope's innocence because it was actually the AIDS that Dora got from a three way with Raven's Canadian Ex-Boyfriend and the truck driver, which she then passed on to the makeout hobo before the Tequilla Monster took pity and killed her quickly.  This all hopefully resulting in Wil getting his dream of making out with Penelope IN the Large Hadron Collider.
 However, the Large Hadron Collider fizzled, and Wil found out that when he killed Pizza girl, he actually killed Penelope, at the end, Wil throws himself off a cliff while on fire (It seems appropriate to steal from LOTR here). Once he hits the ground, it is revealed that Penelope has a twin, who was Pizza Girl. Penelope survives to tell the story to a mal-adjusted misfit indy kid, but doesn't want to get into a relationship because she has "Issues" to work out first.
