Oh, Sven ...
Guido Sarducci:
--- Quote from: Jackie Blue on 06 Feb 2009, 12:21 ---I didn't say that Jeph has "sold out", I just think that he has been increasingly writing to his new audience instead of his old audience.
Old audience: Indie rockers in their early-mid 20s.
New audience: Teenagers who think the bands mentioned in the strip are made-up.
I'm fine with story progression, I just think that it looks to me like the strip has become more of a job to him - because it literally is, unless his wife pays all the bills, which I don't think is the case.
A lot of strips over the past couple years have looked to me like someone who is writing something but thinking in the back of his mind that he'd really rather be writing something else. I'm not sure he ever wanted QC to turn into as much of a soap opera as it has now. Especially given how bad he is at writing arguments (see: Dora vs. Marten recently). That micro-arc was truly painful to read, because it managed to be both uncomfortably accurate and wish-fulfillingly inaccurate at the same time.

Jaysus. It's a comic.

Nobody said it is.

At least not you.
My apologies.
Stanzara:
Wait, a redhead? :D Well yeah, it's Gina Riversmith (who, indeed, had Sven already liking her music) all right, but STILL?
I'm so confused right now.

Reminds me of a joke, that does.
--- Quote ---A 13-year old boy is talking to his grizzled sailor uncle. "Uncle Jeff, have you ever slept with a blonde?"
"Arr, Billy! Many's the fine blonde I've slept with!"
"How about brunettes?"
"Arr! I've slept with any number of brunettes, each one better than the one before!"
"Have you slept with any black-haired women?"
"Arr! Haven't I ever, boy!"
"Have you slept with any redheads, Uncle Jeff?"
"Nary's the wink I've gotten with them, me boy!"

Why Yes I am a Silly Nose:
Wow, everyone's talking about "subtle lines, subtle lines"... I've seen more subtle lines than a cokehead with a well concealed habit.
That being said, I agree that the comic is a little over the top, but it certainly keeps me coming back and reading it.
