Heranje:
And on the other hand, there are a lot of people who didn't get the obscure indie references back when there were a lot of those. About half the comics from those days went WAY over my head. x3 Everyone has something they find funny, and I think it's good when Jeph branches out and references varied stuff.
I actually prefer anime-jokes-I-don't-get to music-jokes-I-don't-get, because it's easier for me to google "tsundere" and go "oh! Haha!" than to figure out, without downloading and listening to their music, why a joke about a band is funny. :P (Before someone jumps on me: I'm not saying QC should stop the music references, of course - that's basically what the comic was founded on ._.)
renrutal:
Tsundere = Type of character who is stingy at first, most of the times even violent, but later she's all lovey-dovey. They show their feelings like "t-this is just a friend gift, it doesn't m-mean anything", with a red face while shuttering. Yeah, they really don't love you :roll:
Moe = Anything cute. Like small children. Something you'd want to hug and protect, and pinch their cheeks while going kyaaaaaaa with their cuteness.
LeeC:
I like how Marigold is blushing in the last panel, probably at dora's comment haha.

Definitely +1 on that. And then there's the whole "alien culture" thing with USA-specific references. But that's all part of the QC charm. I think Jeph keeps a pretty good balance. There are lots of other webcomics with a far greater anime/manga slant than this.

I'm contemplating a career change - what's the pay like?
I have only a smattering of anime/manga - a complete collection of UK magazine Manga Mania, which serialized stuff like Akira, Bubblegum Crisis, Appleseed and Dirty Pair, plus two VHS episodes of Kekkou Kamen, which Pintsize would approve of. So I had to stick Tsundere into Google to understand why Faye may well be adding some deliberate Hanner-bruises to the one she accidentally inflicted a few strips ago.
