Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
So I'm wondering...
Kugai:
I can't remember when I actually started reading the Comic, but I do remember it was a bout a year before I finally joined the Forum in '06 (on my birthday of all things). I think I came here via a link in one of the other comics I was reading at the time, either The Lounge or Alpha Shade if memory serves.
It took me about a week to go through them all at that time, and I was hooked,
Aziraphale:
The first week or so after my first archive binge was brutal. It's tough to switch gears between reading something in large chunks like that and then having to wait for it to update once a day (actually, longer at first 'cause I finished binge-ing on a Thursday night).
hedgie:
Oh yeah. It happens with every comic I read (many of which were linked off of the QC page). I don't really bother for non-sequential comics, but for the sequential ones, I have to go through the archives, and it gets painful to wait, especially when there's a break, for a new one. I usually only read AG every couple of weeks or so, just because of the slow update cycle.
Gladstone:
Yeah, I recently ran into that same problem with Dumbing of Age. Zoomed through the archives in a week, realized my mistake, read through it again, and finally resigned myself to waiting for daily updates like everyone else. Didn't realize how glacial the pace was when I was reading a chapter at a time, but it's nice that it is organized into chapters, so I can revisit a favorite storyline when I want to.
I bookmarked Girls With Slingshots recently, and was planning to archive-binge that next...but it looks like I won't have the same problem when I catch up this time.

Oh man, tell me about it. I Archive-Binged Achewood for MONTHS right at the same time when Onstadt stopped updating it regularly. Went from 20-30 giant, fascinating strips per day to nothing for MONTHS, and then he did a weak stop & start thing and then stopped AGAIN.
I've always meant to read Girls With Slingshots- now that it's ending, it might be the time.
