Stay cool, Jeph. It is all right.

It's alright Jeph. Everyone hits a wall now and then. Even the greats, such as yourself.

ysth · « **Reply #6 on:** 20 Sep 2009, 22:41 »

Jeph,

Have a great day; don't worry about us, we'll still be here even if you were to take two days or a week or more off.

Shawn · « **Reply #7 on:** 20 Sep 2009, 22:52 »

Don't worry Jeph, you're one of the few comic writers who are very consistent with their deadlines (even if you have to stay up until 5am to get it done!). If you need to take a day off here and there, then you've certainly earned that right with your stellar track record over the last few years.

Also, don't overwhelm yourself trying to "mix things up." I don't think any of us will hold you to that. New art/stories could be interesting, but more of the same is perfectly fine.

Damien · « **Reply #8 on:** 20 Sep 2009, 23:12 »

Steady on, mate. We all love your work, and don't mind any breaks you need.

Be well.

AnkhWL · « **Reply #9 on:** 20 Sep 2009, 23:12 »

If anyone has a problem with Jeph not posting tonight/today (which is ludicrous considering he is one of the few well-known, GOOD webcomic artists out there that actually does shit on time, nevermind publish more than one comic a week!) deserves to have something sharp and pointy shoved up their ass. This is not a diss at all to Jeph's work.. but seriously, its just a web comic. The world will not end for you if you do not get your daily dosage of QC (besides.. how do you survive on the weekends?!).

As the others have said, Jeph, take the time you need. Real life comes before comic life.

Frankly, I'm more worried about Jeph than about a web comic update.

I hope he's okay.

Yeah, Jeph freaking out is worse to see than a delayed comic. Sometimes it looks like he's being too hard on himself.

Tuitsuro · « **Reply #14 on:** 20 Sep 2009, 23:57 »

You suck Jeph! [/obvioustrollisobvious]

At this rate he'll be spending more time apologizing than he will on the actual comiic. Besides, all he has to do is draw Sweet-Tits in a thong and he's pretty much satisfied a good 60-75% of the audience.

Ravenswing · « **Reply #15 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 00:09 »

I've had creative blocks a lot worse than Jeph. Me, I can't imagine churning out a comic five days a week, each and every freaking week, and have it not be about the caliber of Family Circus or Wizard of Id for cliched suckitude. If he just needs a night off, we'll survive.

Kugai · « **Reply #16 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 00:15 »

Relax, sip a Mohito, smoke a Delectado and take your time Jeph.

We'll still be here.

Wedley · « **Reply #17 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 00:20 »

Woah, we don't deserve a new comic, Jeph! Hell, I've been reading from the first year of the strip and have never bought a single piece of merchandise. And I'm pretty sure I'm in the majority unless your sale figures are the same as your unique visitor count.

Take it easy - you've been spoiling us for years, you can afford to slack off for a day.

How QC is better than a pizza.

If a pizza is 30 minutes late, you get it for free. We get QC for free even when it arrives "on time" (and Jeph has never promised any particular delivery time).

QC is still good the next morning.

QC never comes with anchovies.

I too hope Jeph is all right and look forward to his latest experiments with the artwork.

EvilBonsai · « **Reply #21 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 02:35 »

I agree with most of the previous sentiments: jeph, just chill, man. It's all good. If anything, it's your AUDIENCE that are the slackers. Sit back, drink something (or smoke something, whatever), invite some friends over for some downtime. Whatever it takes to recharge the creativity.

Darn it, I like Anchovies! Can I get my QC with anchovies? But no pineapple, that's just nasty! I mean when is it appropriate to put pineapple on a baked product? I don't like coconut on my QC either.

evilbobthebob · « **Reply #25 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 04:44 »

Cool comic. And I can see the new things Jeph has tried

Different colour fill style by the looks of things, and Hannelore looks a little more natural I think. Marigold too, looking at it carefully.

Twilightsign · « **Reply #26 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 04:47 »

i really like the perspective on the last panel. Beware momo anthro-pc of a thousand digits!!!

Re Jeph: from previous postings of his, it's my understanding that drawing the comic is therapy. Persuading him to give it up for a bit might be counter-productive.

AngryCallCenterAgent · « **Reply #28 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 05:21 »

Momo should get Pintsize to beta test any updates she likes in the future. At least she can laugh at his expense. Or get that anthro-Linux to do it, he always needs to be taken down a peg or two (or several).

*hugs Momo* It's okay, honey, everything's going to be fine, where's your backup?...

Err ... QC is the second best web comic I know of.

Best one is Order of the Stick ... sadly with a lot of inside D&D humor, but still it got the unparalleled epic story stuff and the humor, too.

I hate it when people put fruit in food (like entrees, not desserts). No, I don't want fucking mandarin oranges in my couscous.

soonerdog · « **Reply #32 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 05:56 »

Really like the drawing of Hanners in this one, especially the face in panel two and the Super New Detailed Hair (or maybe it's just especially lank due to exposure to Marigolds gasses...)

Hey Jeph, I noticed the new things you tried.

Just putting that out there.

maddness · « **Reply #36 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 07:19 »

Whoa, I hope Marigold can get that shit straightened out. Poor Momo.

On a personal note, take care of you, Jeph. If doing the comic helps keep you moving, then do it, if it's just making it harder, then don't. I think it's been made pretty clear already that no one is going to think less of you if you need to take a break.

Carl-E · « **Reply #37 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 07:49 »

Jeph, I know the comic helps. And nothing gets you over the "I'm not worthy" feeling than getting something out there that is really worthy!

This strip may not have been what you had in mind (how often are they?), but a side trip into AnthroPC humor is always welcome, and doesn't really happen often enough. And this trip was... well... trippy!

You might want to talk to someone (a professional) about SAD, Seasonal Affective Disorder. I know you're on meds, but sometimes things get thrown out of whack by your environment. I know that fall has a weird (negative) affect on me, since I was a kid. Sleeplessness, a general panicky feeling, depression, and a few other symptoms that sound a little like what you're going through. I got through it in the 70's-80's through psychotherapy (before there were meds), and my daughter and I now use light therapy. It can work!

Remember, fall doesn't suck, and neither do you!

hope you feel better bro!

Aww poor Momo!!

I somehow find it odd that she's one of my favorite characters in QC, even though she's not a main one.

She's just so cuddly cute!!

Juniper Jade · « **Reply #41 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 08:48 »

Oh nooo Momooo! But Jesus, if I had an AnthroPC and that happened to mine... I would... probably start to cry.

Freaky as fuck. Although once she figures it out and fixes it Momo is going to look so cute with fingers and feet!

Also, Hanners look cute as FUCK in the second panel. I don't know what Jeph did, but I think that has to be one my favorite poses or whatever of a QC character!

Jeph can, if he chooses, take some satisfaction in the fact that he stepped outside his comfort zone on the artwork and the only criticism anyone had is that it lacked anchovies.

Kartoon Kween · « **Reply #44 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 10:05 »

I get the feeling that Pintsize would love that update.

IanClark · « **Reply #45 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 10:06 »

Today's comic really gives me a deep respect for Jeph, even deeper than I had before. The fact that he's able to function at all through all of this, let alone put out a comic, let alone have it actually be good is astounding. Jeph may not think he's very good, but today proved that Jeph at his very worst point is still better than most at their best.

NeverQuiteGoth · « **Reply #46 on:** 21 Sep 2009, 10:40 »

You don't have to go to an italian pizzeria to get good QC.

As far as I understood it, it's an update to OtakuPCs. Pintsize with fingers would be horrible. Or horribly good. But with him without fingers, there's ~~possible~~ ~~probable~~ guaranteed envy and drama between the AnthroPCs, too.

I just noticed that Momo has four fingers in the beginning! That's doubleplusungood, because four is death!

Oh and nice hair.
