Remember - Dr. Case is NOT her psychiatrist. She's her "part-time" physician.

--- Quote from: jmucchiello on 01 Mar 2012, 14:27 ---I have to remember that my experience with QC is somewhat artificial since I didn't find QC until January when I archive binged it in about 5 days. It probably reads very differently to someone who read through the years.

Many of us have done just that. I'll own up to having done it twice since December. I liked the characters when I picked it up, liked them at the beginning and on the read-throughs they became like part of my family -- easy enough since I'm in my 70s, widowed a year ago. Try it from the top. Give yourself a week or so. Enjoy!

You misunderstand. I first encountered QC in January of 2012. Five days later, I had read the whole archive. My history with Hannelore is only 1 day shorter than my history with Faye or Martin. Faye's shocking reveal in 504 happened only a couple weeks ago and only 1 day before I was introduced to Hannelore. My view of the strip is highly compressed compared to someone who first encountered the strips years ago.
Archive Binge is a phrase meaning "reading a long archive of webcomics (or a blog) is short period of time".

I didn't misunderstand, I just didn't read your post carefully; sorry for that. The problem with bingeing on a webcomic or, sometimes, a series of books, is that it ends. In the Aubrey-Maturin (Master and Commander) stories, it ended after 21 books; the author had died and there'd be no more. Here, it ended with the expectation of one strip a day, five days a week. I'm getting used to it, but the pace was suddenly very s-l-o-w. I can fill in with the wiki, Twitter and occasionally Jeph's late-night performance art. It's a rich mine, following a graphic novel.

So we have a new possible oldest user; now let's go in the other direction. I'm 18, who's younger?
Is it cold in here?:

Or maybe there is just no medical privacy in QC-land because the AIs know everything so it's no use.

Welcome, new person!
I can imagine exactly that happening. Imagine hospitals, insurance companies, and Facebook controlled by AIs with free will. There'd be no privacy of any kind. (But Tai thought she could keep her hobby secret...)
DSL:
Given what we've seen in the last few strips, I wonder how long Hanners had been on Earth when she met Marten? Long enough to find her apartment and get a reputation as a late-night cleaning fiend, going by what the apartment agent said. But looking back at those strips, Hanners looks less "creepy" and more "terrified" -- as in, what the hell am I DOING? Particularly, look at the way her eyes are drawn, in light of what we've seen in all the strips since.
