Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
So I'm wondering...
Aziraphale:
I was thinking the same thing about GWS. At that point, it's like reading a book. You know when you've come to the end and can just put it down when you're done. I binged "Woody After Hours" a couple of weeks back and it's ending in a few weeks. Binged Orneryboy (which I think was the first story-based webcomic I really got into) a couple years back and that went belly-up soon after.

This is the time. You can even get something close the original experience, seeing as Danielle is uploading color versions of her archive on a M-F schedule.
I found QC back in 2011-2012, somewhere in that time frame, coming from XKCD. No clue what that first strip was, because I pretty much immediately clicked 'first' and read from the beginning.
My experience with GWS was like what you described for QC, though. I'd click the link on the QC homepage when I felt bored; maybe I'd chuckle, but I never got the urge to really go back to the start. Now I have, and now, of course, she's putting up the old strips with new, exciting technicolor. Still worth checking out, in my opinion, archive binges often leave gaps in memory, and there's always the newsposts to read

I got to QC through an XKCD link. I think my first strip was http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1342 .

My roommate kept trying to get me to read it. I was iffy at first because my sister also read it. Pintsize and several Dune references were enough to get me hooked! On a side note, my sister is my best friend. This strip describes a number of conversations we've had over the years. Its great.

Now that I think about it, I didn't really have a defining "this has caught me moment." I started reading back in about 2008 when I was in grad school - one of my roommates at the time recommended it to me but I never really got around to reading it until one day when I was procrastinating on working on my thesis. I was aimlessly surfing, saw a link to it, remembered that Tim said it was pretty good, and started reading it from the beginning. It didn't really catch me, I was just clicking from strip to strip with about as much enthusiasm as I'd have for my fiftieth game of minesweeper and at some point I realized I was actually interested in the storyline and wasn't procrastinating anymore (or at least, not *just* procrastinating). A six pack of craft beer, an archive binge, and a sleepless night later, and it's been on my daily reading list ever since.
