What is the appeal of this comic?

<< < (5/5)

Orangina:
I'll be completely honest here... I read QC because I've been reading it too long to stop at this point. I click over every day, I spend about 15 seconds reading it, and I'm done. The art's damn fine, but the humor is usually an unimpressive kind of forced witticism or trite anti-prudishness, and the band jokes are beneath obvious if you pay any attention to minor-label/major-label altrock doings. At its heart it's a relationship strip, and I keep up with it like some would a television show dispiritedly limping into its sixth season. Once in a while there'll be an interesting shift, like the recent Faye/Sven mini-arc, and that's pretty much all that keeps me hanging around. I don't pretend I'm part of some silent majority or anything, but all this "indie" and "boobage" stuff seems like a red herring to me...

angulique:
I can't remember how I found QC, but I remember seeing an avatar or something online (probably on LJ) and looked it up.  I saw the panel that was up, but didn't read it and went to the first one (I'm a bit anal about starting at the beginning of a comic) and began reading.  I'm not a part of the indie-rock scene, and not familiar with many of the bands, but I like the comic because it's cute, quirky and funny, the characters are really neat and multi-dimensional, and they seem so real, but yet not (does that make sense?).  They have become a part of my life and QC is the first webcomic I became a faithful reader/follower of.

This. I like the characters (as characters; as people nearly the whole lot pisses me off), but I don't get any indie references and I don't like a lot of the recent turns, and even the banter's gotten weak lately. But, if nothing else, it's free, so I'll keep reading.

Inert:
Agreed on the freeness, I'm semi like you, I don't like the comic at many parts and miss a lot of the early humor, but every now something really funny pops up, and thats what I read for.

Also its a great thing to look forward to doing, at least I always know that their will most likely be a comic when I get home.

But if you really hate it so much, you should probably just keep trying to make yourself not read it. I had a problem with powerup comics similar to this (by the way powerup comics is the worst comic to ever exist in the history of ever.) I just deleted the bookmark and slapped myself whenever I had the urge to go.

Kaeldra1:
um...cuz its awesome?


I think it needs more pintsize though.  That's in part why the earlier comics were so much more fun, because of pintsize....
