well then don't! The decision whether to keep reading my comic is entirely up to you- my point is that I have to
do what I think is best, and if that doesn't meet up with your expectations, so be it.

Important point there i think: Just because you dont particularly like where the comic is at RIGHT NOW, doesn't mean its going to stay that way.
Personaly, i think its still just as good overall, though i do miss the 'focus' there used to be into the characters, but more characters means that by direct result, there is less time to spend on any one character. I guess if i were to make any specific coment/suggestion it would be: Jeph, dont be afraid of focusing on specific characters ON OCASION, as a reader i wouldn't be falling into the trap of asuming that that means there other characters are gone, and i believe the majority of the other readers are smart enough too. So yeah, keep up the good work man!

yes! this is basically what i was trying to get at. i understand that since it's jeph's comic, he obviously gets to decide what he's going to write about. and yes, i keep reading because i assume everything is going to connect in the end.

--- Quote from: Wikipedia ---A slice of life story is a category for a story that portrays a "cut-out" sequence of events in a character's life. It may or may not contain any plot progress and little character development, and often has no exposition, conflict, or dénouement, with an open ending. It usually tries to depict the everyday life of ordinary people, sometimes but rarely, with fantasy or science fiction elements involved.

I love the way QC meanders through the lives of its characters. I'm pretty sure many of us follow a couple dozen webcomics, but I have come across VERY few that have the emotional depth of QC (Anders Loves Maria and What Birds Know are a couple others).
Then again, I'm one of those people who never found Charlie Brown funny ...
zagraf:
I think Jeph would do well to consider T Campbell of Fans! and Penny and Aggie. He not only allows criticism of his writing, even when the same points are made by different people, he's come out hard against "super-fanboy" types who try to silence such criticism.
T Campbell doesn't lock threads.
T Campbell doesn't say, "If you don't like it, don't read it."
T Campbell doesn't say that people who differ with him (or his artist), about past vs. present art styles, are "blind."
I know, Jeph is not T Campbell; he's Jeph. But still. Something to consider. I am not telling Jeph how to run his life. I am merely suggesting an alternate model for dealing with criticism.
