I'm going to be 30 years old tomorrow and look like this. You really can't go by appearances when trying to judge someone as "old" until the crows feet/gray hair start showing up.

Next stop for Dora - Tai's Party.

The problem is, you're comparing two completely different forms of media. An episode of a series contains all the information that is relevant for that episode, if not the series. You have that information. The problem with a comic is that it isn't an episode, but rather a slice of an episode, so we don't know everything about what is happening. Just as the "Talk" storyline could have been considered an episode, or the "Kiss", we have to treat the "Jim Date" as the same, albeit an incomplete episode, so we don't have all the information.

This seems to be the greatest non-argument I've come across in some time. You're arguing totally at cross purposes IMHO.
One person has said "I haven't enjoyed what I've read so far", and so far all of your replies have been interesting and arguably TBI (True But Irrelevant).
Honestly, I don't see how any of your points counter the original simple observation of not having enjoyed the arc so far. If the person making that statement had said "... and I'm never reading the comic again" then maybe what you're saying would be relevant, but they didn't.
So one person hasn't enjoyed the arc so far. Just let it go. :-P

--- Quote from: TheEvilDog on 29 Jun 2011, 18:16 ---My point was, and still is, every tale exists for the sole purpose of being told, be it for good or ill. It doesn't matter if its the greatest piece of literature or the most error filled piece in history, the tale itself is not wasted, only the opportunity to know the tale. You guys must think the same because you're still here, you still want to know whats going to happen in this tale.

Cool, so you admit that it is possible that QC might not be the most riveting thing in history? I doubt even Jeph thinks that or anything close to that of his own comic (though of course, we are all our own worst critics).
