Oh, Sven ...

--- Quote from: laizeohbeets on 09 Feb 2009, 07:43 ---I'm pretty sure it's because Jeph said something to the effect of, "If I draw two people having sex," in the literal act, that he's jumped the shark. Mainly because such a thing would be NSFW. I don't think he's jumped the shark or nuked the fridge. I'm a pretty long-term reader (Started reading in 2005, a lot earlier than when Dora and Marten got together, so I'd put it around Julyish?), and it seemed in character to me. My first thought was, "Uh oh," but more towards "Sven is gonna be in some deep shit," not, "Oh, no, they jumped the shark!"

And when I said that I'm pretty sure I was thinking of full on explicit sex.
People have been saying my comic "jumped the shark" since literally the 50th comic. It is a useless term.

Perhaps it is the shark who has jumped the comic.

This isn't Soviet Russia.
Well, I came to the discussion forum to post my opinion about this comic. I'm not saying it's artistically invalid, or whatever. I just didn't really like the comic for various reasons. I didn't say I'd stop reading, or try to hold you (Jeph) hostage to my opinions or anything. I also hope I didn't say it in an offensive way. Is it really out of line to talk about comics I don't like as well as ones I do?

@SirMeowMeow: Some of our compadres threatened abandoning QC because of the change in content. I don't think we are trying to stifle opinions (alright I'm not), but
everything is based on perspective. Perhaps Mr. Jacques just loves ridiculous situations. I initially thought QC was set in the near future, especially after the transforming scooter episode and the man-sized purple rat with mexican garb
ladydraykona:
it's nice Sven is developing a conscience, and that Faye is getting laid, but I'm still confused as to when Sven ever committed himself to Faye, or even agreed to give up being a philandering strumpet.
Can someone with encyclopedic knowledge of the archives point me to Sven giving up on casual sex?
