Congrats Jeph on a great comic (2-16-2009)

(1/5) > >>

Cap'n Treacherous:
I lost some faith in the powers of the QC cast to compel me, but I was sincerely moved by this most recent comic, especially Faye's hurt under-reaction.  She's usually been a bit over the top in her responses, but this was just right.  Sven's closing line was pretty accurate too.  I think the two are really in love- but can an irrepressible cad change his ways or a standoffish chick hers?  Goodness, the drama.

debaser:
I was just about to make a thread exactly like this. These last two strips are stellar. Keep this up Jeph.

Also: I really liked the third panel in this latest strip too. Experiment like that more often.

debaser:
...

Jeph. Come on man. Where is the magic of the last two? Wanna know why Octopus Pie is better than QC? Look at the latest strip. It's this big dramatic moment, and there are a total 4 things said in 9 panels. Now look at your latest strip.

I want you to imagine Penny not saying anything in that last panel.

Bam. Look at that, already better.

That one's yours. Free of charge.

I genuinely want to see this comic get better and see you progress as an artist and writer. I've been reading this comic for years, and it's frustrating to see you stagnated like this. Pare down the dialogue. Hone the characters to they're not all just vague copies of themselves (particularly Dora and Marten). Ease up on the female characters. Bring Steve back. Steve adds a nice balance. Try different paneling techniques. Experiment. And for the love of jesus add some new settings. Just some friendly advice.

jeph:
friendly advice delivered like a dick ain't so friendly.

still I will take it into consideration.
