Is QC close to its ending?

I don't think it's going to end any time soon. I think Jeph's fully-committed to telling the entire story and he'll probably want to wrap up every storyline before it's over (except, maybe, for Pizza Girl; I think she'll forever be a mystery).
As long as the strip doesn't end the way Ctrl+Alt+Del did, I think I'll be fine with whatever Jeph chooses. (Seriously, CAD wasn't that good to begin with—but that ending was utter horseshit.)

How did that strip end? That's not one I'm familiar with.

I don't remember—not exactly. There was an ill-conceived miscarriage arc, and then the main character committed suicide by way of a time machine. It was all very, very convoluted. Although I brought it up, I'm certainly not the person to ask how it ended. My apologies.

There was a 'AI is a Crapshoot' plot device married to a strange inverted Terminator-style time-travel plot. However, by the point Tim had got to writing that arc, he had already decided that he had written himself into a corner and had decided to hit the reset button. The entire plot was a sort of Star Trek-2009-style justification for the time paradox that he was going to invoke for claiming that the reboot wasn't an alternate universe.
explicit:
Jeph makes almost $10,000 a month (which doesn't include the ads) making this. While I believe he could keep most of that if he decides to make a new comic, it's a huge financial risk. Unless he gets disillusioned with the whole thing I can't imagine him trying something else for quite some time. There's still plenty of places for this story to go.
Plus, people aren't losing any interest in this comic. I can only speak for myself, but I was getting a little bored with GWS and Shortpacked! (which really just needed that wedding scene to be over). The story hasn't run its course, but I guess it helps that there are so many characters. He also just started to write about Claire a decent amount, we still know nothing about her. We know her quirks (the flustering!), her puns, she likes books and the trans thing. Jeph seems to really like her as a character and I'd be shocked if he didn't want to develop her more.
