I really think the band's just a hobby for Marten. As someone who writes mostly just as a periodic pass time to just help me better understand the medium I do see something similar with him. He enjoys it, and I really do think he gets something out of it, but it's not an all encompassing drive for him and I don't think he's looking to do it for a living.

This being said I do feel the need to point out a mistake that's often made in this area. Making a living off your passion /= super famous rich rockstar lifestyle. I've known people who make their living as actors and as musicians and that's not what they are. A band that's frequently getting the good local gigs might not make you a millionaire and it might not make you an instantly recognizable face to all even in your own community but if you're looking to make a living off your music it's pretty feasible on that level. Super-famous rockstar would seem to me to be a misguided goal to begin with anyway, probably the wrong reason to get into the business. I can't see Marten ever being interested in that anyway, so if he put his nose to the grindstone and probably found a replacement for Amir I see no reason why he couldn't accomplish any goals he'd have here.

Come to think of it, he's an indy guy anyway. I'm not an audiophile so I have trouble keeping track of the various movements associated with musical genres, but isn't indy kind of into the small time and obscurity to begin with? Being one of the really cool local bands that the next town's never heard of would probably be a wet dream for him if I've got this straight.

As late as I am on this, I pretty much skimmed over the comic till I saw something move out the corner of my eye, then realised that the foot was ANIMATED.

Well EXQUUUUUSE ME! if I don't measure up to your universal knowledge of every sound committed to tape, Nappy McTurtleneck. And yes, having listened to a number of their tracks, for the first time ever, I would agree that Tool are awesome. Some of their fans, maybe not so much. At least Mr. Doctor was polite about it. Sheesh!

I think Jeph would do better to avoid jokes that depend on the exact behaviour of his readers' computers, browsers etc. The animation did not "repeat" in the browser I normally use, so I missed it. I'll have to make a point of reading QC in Safari or Chrome, I guess.

Sorflakne:
Off topic, but I honestly have no recollection of having seen comics 1662-1668.  I know for a fact that I hadn't seen 1662 until just now for the first time.  And I know I never saw Dora's panels-long 'squeeeeeeeeee...eeeeeeeeeee' before either.

Other than that, I really do like Hanners art style from that period.

I find it hard to believe that the problem is general to the browser (what is it?) rather than specific to your installation of it.  I really wouldn't suggest that the one-off use of an animated GIF is in any way unreasonable these days.  It even shows on my iPhone, though much too slowly.
