It's a measure of how seriously the storyline is treated that there are frequent references to "the canon." The TV trope site will have you rumbling back through the strips. And there are references at the top of that page to major changes at a couple of points. I think I know what they are, but at some point I'll take another look.

Just reading a little bit of that page for the TV trope site is super interesting. I love how, when you read it, you think "okay, yeah, thats totally like that", but you don't think about it during the comic.
Also, always arguing what is canon or not is what made me quit anime way back when. It annoyed me. I don't read cheesy fan fiction, but let me have my fantasies! Although...I'm not one to talk, because I almost beat a kid for quoting something about Phantom of the Opera that wasn't canon.

The TV trope site may need two screens, ipad for the tropes, laptop for the lookups. But you're right about how it's "totally like that," although references to Jeph at top and bottom are funny in that context. I hope you almost beat a kid in your earlier teens! Anime, manga, that whole thing is outside my experience. I've googled around it a little, but at 74 I don't need to go there. I'm kind of fascinated by the culture portrayed in QC, and wonder if it's somewhat "accurate" in how these folks communicate and what they communicate about. I've tried to turn some of my friends on to it, including my daughter, now 38, partly so I can compare notes. But I've failed so far. One other site: Have you stayed up late enough to watch Jeph draw? Talk about performance art! And music of questionable content! http://www.ustream.tv/channel/questionable-content-video
Kenyahp:
Haha, nope, haven't seen ANY of the artists I watch draw. Its more of my brother's side of life. I watch people draw and just think "yup. Thats a line! Mmhmm. Oh, now you're using...buttons. Nice. Go you!" so. Now the writing process I would be extremely interested in.
I'm a nerdy young adult just getting started in life and I still live with my parents. I, too, am fascinated by the culture in QC. I live in a small town of mainly rednecks, so I've never experienced anyone like the people on this forum or in the QC comic. Maybe being here will prepare me for it?
AND THEN WORLD DOMINATION MWAHAHAHAHA.
