Is QC close to its ending?

<< < (2/10) > >>

Consilium:

--- Quote from: BenRG on 23 Jan 2015, 09:28 --- There are two implied major plot lines to be addressed - Hannelore learning to be 'normal' (or as normal as she gets) and Momo's quest to be fully accepted, especially in her own perceptions, as a real person.

I really think the 'AI Rights' campaign would be an awesome arc. Jeph touched on it with May, but kinda left it alone. It certainly pertains to current events in the real world (Gay marriage; Ferguson riots), and I'm sure many readers, and even characters, could and would identify with the plight of the artificially intelligent.

Hanners has shown so much progress already, to the point where she just seems like a quirky, innocent girl most of the time. I personally believe her character has grown to where it needs to be, and her subplot could honestly be capped by a formal address of it by the cast. That's not to say her place as a main-ish character is done, but rather that she's as 'normal' as she really needs to be. On that topic, her friendship is valued by the cast, especially Marigold and Marten, so I think it'd be fitting for her to stay around a while.
This is all obviously just my take on things.

Other things I'd like to see before the comic ends:

* Closure about what happened with Faye's dad, and why he did what he did
* Obviously some conclusion to the Angus development, but I think that goes without saying
* Marten finding whatever it is he needs to find. If that's not found in a romantic partner, then that's fine with me.

Bill Watterson worked on Calvin & Hobbes from 1985 to 1995
Cathy, by Cathy Guisewite ran from 1976 to 2010.

And on the Webcomics side we have Howard Taylor running Schlock Mercenary which has not missed a day since June 12, 2000. Even when the server farm had an explosion that took out two walls.

I'd say QC is safe

A Duck:
I don't think time is a very relevant metric. QC is a plot driven comic, unlike, for example, Peanuts.

I really do hope Claire is Marten's endgame. I really like her, which wasn't the case with Dora, Faye or Padma. It's also a way "healthier" relationship, at least for now.

Orkboy:
There's also the consideration that Jeph makes money from QC.  Until Alice Grove makes as much money, he might not be comfortable ending QC.  Budgeting and financial planning and all that.  Being a responsible adult kinda sucks. 

TheEvilDog:
At the moment, Jeph makes approximately 10k a month from Patreon and most of that is due to QC. I would presume that most of the money tends to go towards the costs of going to cons, from travel expenses, resupplying stocks. Jeph is one of a handful of webcomic artists who make their money solely from what they produce, QC is a business and Patreon are investors in a way.
