However, if she's 24... wouldn't that mean she's about to go into her third year of post-grad studies?

Is the artist's view on when something should end not more important than the outside observer's? The second you start catering to your audience rather than being true to your art, you become a brand, not an artist. It's what killed Heroes, for one.

I agree with that. But my point is : if he'd been planning to end QC, appealing to the fans of the strip for monthly financing, while specifying that said financing is so that he can keep writing QC while doing other projects, would be quite shitty.

The internship is actually part of the MLS course, from the brief Wikipedia entry that I've seen. I'm not sure at what point in the course it is required but it could indicate Claire is a very senior student.
As I understand American higher education, you start in college when you're 18 or 19, so Claire would have got her BLS when she was about 22. That makes her second or third year in this Masters' course.

I wasn't really clued into the whole Patreon thing, so I don't know what the parameters of that campaign were. I thought it was explicitly to start up AG, but if it was stated for the purpose of starting AG *and* continuing QC, then yeah, I agree. Again, though, as Gareth asks, for how long? Comic #3000 is exactly eight months away from today based on the prevailing release schedule, if the comic continues to be published on weekdays excluding holidays. It doesn't seem too far-fetched to wrap this up in a real-life year.
Which, at the pace this comic moves, is actually only next week... ;)
Thrillho:
Besides, killing QC at what seems to be an all-time high for popularity and quality is a better way to go out than when it's tailing off in interest from both fan and author. Also it might mean Alice Grove moves to a daily rather than twice weekly.
