Yeah, I noticed that too. Clicking around a bit, I don't think I'm very impressed with the reviewer's own web-comic. I also don't really think the author is a wanker or overly critical. He's a critic. That's the job he's taken on. Who the hell wants to read a critic that just gushed over everything?
I though the review was interesting. I don't think Jeph does drama all that well, but I don't know if I buy the reasons in the review. Most of Jeph's characters kind of live in their heads, and so Jeph's attempts to get them to respond emotionally to situations often come off as artificial.

QC isn't set in the real world. It's set in a reality where anthro-PCs roam freely and all the women are just a little too pretty.
I wanna live in the QCverse!
Is it cold in here?:
I'd just as soon not. The "wish fulfillment" theory falls apart pretty quickly unless you wish to be taken hostage by kung fu monks, headbutted in the testicles and vomited on.
Babpacih:
isnt every work of fiction a wish fulfillment by that guys definition.
Mr. Skawronska:

Yes she does. Long, slow, boring, painful lectures about all of her social shortcomings stemming from her inability to entertain even the slightest capacity for empathy.
She also needs to be beaten. Repeatedly.
--- Quote ---There was more drama in the scene where Faye sits on Sven's couch and says her life is slowly but unstoppably coming apart than there would be in simply showing Something Bad Happening to her.
--- End quote ---
Hmmm...that would explain the greater "fun factor" in one than the other, I think.
--- Quote ---you wish to be taken hostage by kung fu monks, headbutted in the testicles and vomited on.

Sadly, out of those three, the taken hostage by kung fu monks is the one that hasn't repeatedly happened to me in the last three months.
I mean, the monks might be a refreshing change from the other two.
