now just hold on a dang minute...
a few strips ago, all was peaches & bunnies, and even Faye (Faye!) was finding twu wuv....... some of us were feeling bereft of webcomic drama.... we got a hint (somewhere, i didn't see it) of Jeph starting a new (dramatic) arc...
and here it is, apparently starting, sparking some wild speculations on The End of QC....? Sure. speculations can be fun, it's part of the whole 'sperience, but i don't even want to THINK of QC winding down already... This is Jeph doing what he does best - dancing deftly between slice-of-life and outright dramatic conflict; letting his characters get on with their normal lives and stumbling over each other with angst, sound and fury. (And even more deftly avoiding most of the predictions!)
Hey, if we can get some bizarre delights out of this, like Dora-Tai spite-sex, I won't complain (really, how else could that ever happen?)
I'm just really glad to go along for the ride.
