Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
Webcomic artistry and fandom research
Welu:
1) How did you find out about Questionable Content?
I think I found it linked on xkcd.
2) Do you read any other web comics and which ones?
I check these ones regularly every week:
xkcd
Basic Instructions
Awkward Zombie
Aikonia
Oglaf
These ones I check once in a while and read in huge chunks:
Dinosaur Comics
StupidFox
Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
Cyanide and Happiness
Surviving the World (Actually a photo-comic)
3) Why post on this forum? Is the web comic the only reason?
I lurked the forum from around September 2010, around the Dora/Marten break-up storyline to see other people's thoughts on it. Joined in March 2011 because I thought the community seemed cool. I only post about the webcomic in the Weekly Comic Discussion Thread a couple of times a week, depending on the week's comics and the discussion going on. I spend a lot of time chatting in Chatter and lurking Discuss because people here are interesting and it's fun to listen to them.
4) What is the community like here?
Like I said, very interesting and fun. Very welcoming of sensible newcomers and each individual manages to be quite passionate about their viewpoints and also respectful of others. A lot are also very intelligent, as seen in the recent discussions about the mechanics of the space station. Makes for good discussion.
5) Do you feel like Jeph listens to us as fans? (*ahem* do you?)
Sort of. He definitely hears some of the louder negative ones but he knows better than to let people tell him what to do with the comic.
6) Is Questionable Content cool?
Yep.
Bearer:
Man, you all really jumped on this, haha. This is all seriously a huge help so thanks a whole lot!
pwhodges:
1) How did you find out about Questionable Content?
Can't truly remember. It might have been when I was googling John Cage, and the comic where Marten mentions him came up; or some other way, but that comic got me hooked.
2) Do you read any other web comics and which ones?
Dilbert
Dresden Codak
Freefall
Misfile
Penny Arcade
Scandinavia and the World
So Far Apart (and previously Anders loves Maria; I bought an original page of that)
XKCD
3) Why post on this forum? Is the web comic the only reason?
Originally the comic, but I quickly moved on to join what was then a separate community in the other parts (most of whom have now moved to Pocket Jury, which I also visit still); I was interested in the views of people from very different backgrounds from my usual haunts. I joined the forum exactly four years ago, but I can't remember why in particular, other than at the time the forum link was in the main top menu and so very obvious.
4) What is the community like here?
Much as I would like it to be ;-) - varied, intelligent and respectful, but I hope not too inhibited.
5) Do you feel like Jeph listens to us as fans? (*ahem* do you?)
I know he doesn't listen to the forum.
6) Is Questionable Content cool?
What is "cool"?

And who knows how many that have completed and I have read.
3) Why post on this forum? Is the web comic the only reason?
I'm a forum junky. I check out all forums to see if they are interesting.
4) What is the community like here?
This is one of the oases of friendly talk on the Internet.
5) Do you feel like Jeph listens to us as fans? (*ahem* do you?)
Why should he? Only a self-entitled moron would expect or desire that.
6) Is Questionable Content cool?
It's a webcomic. It doesn't get geekier than that. No.
Daniel Patrick Moynihan:
1) How did you find out about Questionable Content?
A friend of mine had the Evolution Kills shirt on one day and I googled it on a whim.
2) Do you read any other web comics and which ones?
The Adventures of Dr. McNinja, SMBC, xkcd, and Oglaf every update. One or two others that are defunct now.
3) Why post on this forum? Is the web comic the only reason?
I only read the QC Discussion forum and lurked for about 2 years before I started posting for the ridiculous drama threads (especially after the Dora/Marten meltdown.) If I stopped reading QC I probably wouldn't lurk or post what little I do.
4) What is the community like here?
Obsessive in a good way, helpful almost always. The rancor has dropped off almost completely compared with a year or two ago, but some of the fun back and forth arguing has gone as well. So less lively than most forums I visit but also much less soul-crushing.
5) Do you feel like Jeph listens to us as fans? (*ahem* do you?)
No, and that's good. Even here where things are almost always positive, we analyze and dissect things so much we're getting down into the quarks and left behind the humor carrying bits awhile ago.
6) Is Questionable Content cool?
It's post-cool.
