How Many Are Reading Alice Grove?

I have to say that the aspects of AG that I am disappointed with are mostly those that make it more like QC: The silly gags (particularly related to Ardent) and the butt humour, which I don't find particularly funny. In QC, this type of humour is fitting, but Alice Grove has a very different feel to it and I think that there it doesn't fit particularly well. It seems rather forced at times.
I personally hope that future AG goes more into the direction of serious story-driven SF comic than drifting off into alien slice-of-life with butt jokes.

Well, it's more like "tail" jokes, but I see what you mean.

How about an option that says "Yes, but I only read it in batches so that I can follow the story better"? As cool as it is that Jeph's doing two comics, not having a set update schedule kinda kills it.

This is my vote as well. Overall enjoying AG more than QC at the moment, if only because QC is making Emily even more of an empty shell of a person while Clinton has an inane "adventure" she's just there for.
I see people complaining about AG's characters being unlikeable... right now QC is suffering more. If I hadn't been reading since very near the beginning, I doubt I would be now.

Global Moderator Comment It was a very good suggestion by CompSarge and I have added it to the Poll and reset it so you may change your vote should you desire to do so.
