Redball:
Others have written about how important the comic and the forum have been in their lives. I discovered the comic early this year, about a year after my wife of 40 years died. The comic was engaging; the forum and its members even more so. Clara and I, without family close to us, had found families wherever we could -- the people she taught with, the people I sang with, our neighbors, local friends. This year, the forum has become one of my families, at a time when I really needed it. I guess the QC characters have become part of my family too.
So Jeph, I'm grateful to you for creating a loving and lovable comic, and despite some hiccups before my time, for making possible a forum of good, loving people.
I'm not ready to buy all three books, but book 3 and a TEH shirt will do to start. If jwhouk can wear one into a Wausau Starbucks, I guess I can wear one into a Hillsdale coffee shop. And I hope you heal soon and don't come back to the Wacom before you're ready. We're coming up with some games to play in the meantime.

Jeph,
I don't know if you will read this, but I will at least write to you in spirit.
I found your comic some years ago, and I loved it. The art, the writing, the wit, everything. You do what you do and you do it damn well. And to those who have a problem with what you do? I can't say why they do it, but i can say that they are asses. You have entertained me for years now, QC has become a part of my life now, in more ways than one.

Before I discovered QC and these forums, I believed the internet was filled with trolls and other rude people. But now I see from the other people on this forum, that there are some really awesome people here too. And if you didn't write QC, I wouldn't have met them. And at this point, it's hard to imagine what else I would waste my time on without this forum. All of the people on this forum support you Jeph, we care about you and want the very best for you.

And I can't say I know what you're going through, but I have experienced changes in my life that did some weird things to my emotions. And I wish I could prescribe some advice or medication better than this, but you just have to wait. Wait for your hand too heal. Wait until you get yourself back together. If you have a positive view, everything will work out. You have a loving wife and a caring community behind, nothing can bring you down.

Get well soon, Mr. Jacques. We'll understand if you can't do comics for a while.

ThinksTooMuch:
Registered so I could say this:  Jeph, your comic has been a part of my daily routine for almost 5 years now.  I will echo the far more eloquent words written before mine in saying that I honestly hope that your recovery is swift and complete, but take whatever time you need and don't be afraid to ask if there is any help we can provide (though I have no idea what form that could take).

foolsguinea:
Jeph, you goober.

I don't think you understand how many people consider you and your characters as much a part of our lives as some members of our own families.

OK, I'm another user who signed up to the forum just to post this:

Jeph, I've been a QC reader since the comic figured under the 100 mark, at which point I skipped working for an hour being glad no-one else was in the office while I caught up, and I've been with QC on every new comic ever since.

The only person on this planet I have the right to judge is myself, and as such I cannot dare to imagine what you're going through or try and assume how my own demons can or cannot compare.  The only thing I can do is reiterate what every good person here is doing and to convey our support for you to get better and to deflate and conquer whatever demons that need dealing with.

You're an extremely talented artist who we have all seen develop tremendously over the years, yet your ability to characterise and convey such brilliant wit and observation into your comics is what kept me there since the beginning.  No one can take that away from you, you bring joy and humour to those of us who read QC, and I for one just want to wish you best in whatever course of action you feel you need to take in order to get better and stay happy.
