Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
So I'm wondering...
Mr_Rose:
I was first pointed to QC back when it was a tri-weekly with the same art as the first strip, but the small archive and (at the time) unengaging plot put me off until someone pointed me at The Talk which had just happened (the current strip was still in the mid-500's) and that got me.
Carl-E:
I'm another XKCD referral, but it took a few tries. I'd follow the link, and insist on starting at the beginning each time, and then would recognize it, and was put off by the indie references I didn't know, so I never got past the first 20 or so strips - about four ot five times, with enough time in between to forget that I'd tried it already.
So I tried again one afternoon, and saw the exultation of the beer sledding.
I went backwards from there, probably a few hundred strips or so, then went to the beginning and worked forward (and had the "WTF? That comic?" experience), reading both ways until they met up.
At the talk.
It was weird.
Than I found the forum, and it was weirder!

So this'll probably sound pretty stupid, but...
I was linked here from XKCD, like a lot of you. The first couple times I started reading QC, I never got interested in it. My dad died in 2011, and shortly afterward, I clicked on the link from XKCD again. It was during the storyline where Momo gets her new chassis. For some reason I clicked "Random", and it went to Faye talking to her therapist about her father's death. That resonated with me at the time and I ended up reading the whole comic. Then later I joined the forum and then it's now.
Incidentally, the idea of starting a comic of my own was partially inspired by seeing the improvement in QC between the beginning and the present. The thought was, hey, if practice can improve someone that much, I can give it a shot as well.

First QC I saw was one where Hanners was serving coffee and didn't realise that the customer was flirting with her. Read several of the following comics, liked them and decided to start from the beginning.
That was like getting punched in the retinas, (Jeph's drawing skills have come a loooooong way).
