--- Quote from: bhtooefr on 14 Oct 2014, 09:16 ---Wait, where was it said that she started HRT when she was 21? 2324 says it was during her first year of college, so when she was 18 (or possibly 19) assuming she wasn't on an accelerated educational cycle...
It's also worth noting that a Master's program isn't necessarily 2 years...

Depends on how you're doing it. For someone who's working full-time and doing a Master's (as is often the case -- especially when you take a few years between your undergrad and grad work), it typically takes a bit longer, but for someone in Claire's situation (living at home, and presumably capable of devoting herself full-time to her studies), two years isn't unreasonable (nor is it unreasonable to take a breather between one degree and the next, even if it's only to start in the spring semester instead of the autumn). Of course, even in Claire's case, it's possible that things could go a bit longer than anticipated, depending on things like course availability, practicums, etc.

Well, fellow patrons who do so just because of QC could just opt-out, or just like Jeph's new comic just as much. and carry on supporting him. When and if to end QC is solely his decision, though I hope this will not happen anytime soon.
I can also not see it coming to a dead end. Martenclaire may last, or not, but without venturing into speculation of what may or may not happen, and since Jeph has put so much effort into her character, I think he has plenty of ideas ready and still has a lot to tell us about her (and the rest of the QC cast).

--- Quote from: eschaton on 14 Oct 2014, 08:52 ---As I said, I would prefer at this point if he pushed QC up another 5-10 years to allow for some big changes to happen in the lives of everyone. Realistically, this would mean half the characters would be gone, but it would give him a chance to introduce some new ones, and to show us the remaining cast in a more mature light. Either that or do a total reboot - start from the beginning with the same characters, but have the interactions turn out differently this time.

QC- The Next Generation? :-D

--- Quote from: BenRG on 14 Oct 2014, 09:07 ---It is worth noting that Claire told Marten that she started hormone treatments when she was 21. It's possible that she took a year or two's break in between her bachelor and master studies due to that or because she had reconstructive surgery of some sort from which she wanted a low-stress time in order to recover.

Claire said started transitioning her first year in college, and has been on HRT since then. Her first year would have meant 18-19.

I think she started when she was 20, based on http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2361

Which brings up another possibility. A daily strip (or even the usual webcomic thing) isn't the only way this could play out. Similar to Trek, I think it'd be possible to wrap up QC (though hopefully not in the near future) and then do longer (say, comic book/graphic novel) projects using the QC cast and canon, launched via Kickstarter.
It's also possible that Jeph could bring someone in as a collaborator on the writing side of things. Granted, whether he'd want to do that is a whole 'nother story, but it could reinvigorate QC while also giving Jeph more time to develop AG.
