Comic Discussion > QUESTIONABLE CONTENT
WCDT: 2831-2835 (10 - 14 November 2014) Weekly Comic Discussion Thread
ReindeerFlotilla:
Based on what actually happens (delay at customs = no comic) and the tweets about scripts proceeding tweets about art, it's a safe assumption that Jeph is working on today's (tomorrow's) comic right now--ish. Script and all.
I don't think there's anything wrong with that. Like I said, he had a buffer once. It didn't work for him. What he does now does.
I'm pretty sure Jeph writes ahead now and then. I can't imagine he doesn't find himself on a roll. (2682 and 2683 come to mind. There's no way I'll believe he didn't have the gist of 2683 locked in the day 2682 went up.) But based his own comments about guest comic because I couldn't write, and such, Jeph is very likely pantsing most scripts the day of.
It's one of the things that makes his work so impressive.

Starting to agree with April now. I was originally in the No Time Skips camp, because I wanted to see every moment of this date play out, but if we're going to just keep getting other character reactions and no substantial getting-to-know-you kind of moments, it wouldn't hurt to fast-forward a few days to, perhaps, Faye and Dora at the Coffee of Doom with Faye grumbling about how Marten and Claire have been together all week holding hands and snuggling and just being nauseatingly cute with each other, ugh, and then Angus shows up to say his goodbyes. Bring a close to that story, kill two birds with one stone, move on.
Then again, I'm also willing to accept that Jeph has had a rough week and wasn't in the mood to do anything but Mom Shenanigans, so I'm willing to wait and see.
A Duck:
Considering Jeph's had a clearly rough week Assuming from his twitter), I assume the slowdown in plot speed is just him being a little burned out and doing a few silly comics.
I'm sure things will start to pick up soon.
Natswash:
I'm willing to wait it out for a week or so before worrying about plot pacing. I've had weeks where nothing goes my way and thus my professors wondered what was happening with my papers. I do vote that the trees get texture (I'd like the hair too), but since I doubt Marten is going on many more forest walks soon, we should be okay.
Watch as their next date is going hiking
