Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2031-2035 (10-14 October 2011)
Mr.T:
Alright, I haven't seen this brought up yet with the Sweet-Tits, Umlauts & Unrequited Love discussions, but the Keyser Söze thing makes no sense to me at all.
Please enlighten me if I'm the clueless one:
I love The Usual Suspects and Questionable Content, but in what way is
-A criminal mastermind who kills his own wife, 66.6% of his kids, an entire hungarian mob, their associates, friends and families. A man who almost every criminal knows about and fears without ever having seen him. A man who can bullshit his way though a police "interrogation" while discussing his infamous alter-ego's latest exploits
in any way comparable to, or acceptable simile/metaphor material for,
-Some guy giving questionable "girl"-advice to a lovesick clueless oaf... in a bar?
Even if the joke is about Marten's non-existent ulterior motive, that's not a clever Gambit of the Batman or Xanatos type, it's just Sitcom Plot #2a...
:psyduck:
P.S.:Hell yeah, TVTropes!
Tova:
Yes, it's nonsense, which I think is the joke.
Nathanyel:
I'd say it's mere hyperbole.
Say, at what time does Jeph usually upload a new comic these days? It's past 11am over here (GMT+1) but I think I remember a time when I saw a new QC at around 8 or 9...
pwhodges:
Jeph often has a strangely messed-up sleep pattern, as he has at present; the comic is put up as soon as he finishes it, currently at around 10:00 to 11:00 UTC. For two or three hours before that you can watch him draw it.
Oh, and you're on GMT/UTC+2 - you forgot to add the summer time offset.

In my former industry (meat processing) that was known as 'screwing the crew' and is generally a bad idea.
I should know, I have both an ex-wife and an ex-fiancé that I met at work.
