Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT

Webcomic artistry and fandom research

Carl-E:
It means we have a lot of nerds and geeks in here. 

Which explains all the arguments about the space station...



Hell, at least two of us are professional mathematicians, and in a community this small, that's pretty unusual!

celticgeek:
Not to mention a physicist or two.

1) How did you find out about Questionable Content?

I found out about it from going through the link from XKCD. I found out about it much later than most of the people on this forum (the first one I saw was # 2002).

2) Do you read any other web comics and which ones?

XKCD, Times Like This, Piled Higher and Deeper, Wasted Talent. I used to read User Friendly before it stopped updating.

3) Why post on this forum?  Is the web comic the only reason?

For a while after I started reading QC, I never went to the forum. After reading through the whole archive of QC and seeing the early comics and the evolution of Jeph's art, I decided to give a try to an idea I had for a comic. My first post here was in the "Plug your comic" thread, but I ended up sticking around and reading (and occasionally posting in) the QC comic discussion threads.

4) What is the community like here?

I don't know if I've really been here long enough to get a good feel of how the community works. (And in reference to the post above, I'm a grad student in physics, I guess that maybe counts as being a physicist...)

5) Do you feel like Jeph listens to us as fans? (*ahem* do you?)

No.

6) Is Questionable Content cool?

I don't know about cool (I'm probably a bad judge of that), but apparently it's popular enough that I've seen undergrads here wearing QC t-shirts.

Carl-E:
Oh!  Yeah, I had a student a couple of years ago who wore an LGBTerrific! shirt.  I had to ask if he know the strip, or if someone had just gotten him the shirt. 

He followed the comic, which I counted as a win. 


One of my irrational fears is that a student of mine will figure out it's me on this forum.  I just like keeping them out of my private life... and yes, I consider this my private life! 

Redball:
1) How did you find out about Questionable Content?
Probably from the Comics I Don't Understand site.
2) Do you read any other web comics and which ones?
Via CIDU, I read Cyanide and Happiness.
3) Why post on this forum?  Is the web comic the only reason?
The forum often adds context to the comic. But the multiplicity of threads and interests of members makes it almost a different universe than the QCverse. I enjoy the discourse and the opportunity to add to it.
4) What is the community like here?
Intelligent, caring and sharing.
5) Do you feel like Jeph listens to us as fans? (*ahem* do you?)
I think he hears us. I don't know if he acts on what he hears. That doesn't matter to me. I hope it pleases him that he not only has created a QCverse with many fans, but a social universe with a lot of participants. It certainly impresses me.
6) Is Questionable Content cool?
Whatever that means; I guess it is.
