I like when I am surprising myself, because that usually means it's a surprise for the better. It rarely is a surprise if I fuck up.

People are inconsistent, things happen that alter their character in ways they didn't even expect themselves. As we get to know the QC characters better, their nuances are revealed - that doesn't mean they're not realistic, I'd argue the opposite! I'm often surprised by people.

Actually I'm expecting it to conform to my idea of what people in a fictional narrative should be like, and that idea is based on some actual study of and familiarity with the form. Also I don't think that real people actually are all that inconsistent. They often just seem that way because we (and even they) don't get to know all the relevant influences upon their character. A work of fiction is capable of demonstrating the reasons shift in a person's character.
In a lot of ways, a fictional narrative can and should be more coherent than a narrative in reality.
There's something that I just happened to realize while typing. If you compare QC to other comics, it actually comes off pretty favourably in terms of both character development and consistency. I'm including both webcomics and the kind which are published on paper. I'd say that while there are comics that adhere to a higher standard in this regard, they are few and far between.
By the standards of the medium, it's pretty good. I'm probably seeking something I would never find in a webcomic.
Man I love my current title. I need to not post too much, so I can keep it forever. It makes me feel like a real hipster.
Is it cold in here?:

Raven is a good example.
The Pugnacious Peach has been loosening up in ways foreshadowed from early on, when she compared herself to a hedgehog and Raven compared her to a kitten who knows no way to express affection except by scratching.

Sorry, not aimed at you, just the idea of it -> :roll:

Be grateful you were'nt here for the horror of The Shipping Wars
It was a bloodbath - even I got banned for a week!
*Shudder*
;D
Seriously though, if this is doing this to Dora, she really needs to consider letting Faye lengthening the girls hours or bringing Dale someone else on board.
Extra money be damned - Killing yourself over a business is not the way to go.
FunkyTuba:
Is it shipping if you're gratuitously matchmaking people to jobs?
"Steve should submit a resume for CoD!"
Would that be candidating? Dating?
"I TOTALLY Date Angus and The Nightly News"
