--- Quote from: renfield1969 on 10 Jan 2017, 07:11 ---Someday I think we will point to Faye's punching of Corpse Witch to be the moment QC officially jumped the shark. The "show about nothing" has delved deep into science fiction and now Desire of the Endless has shown up to throw urban fantasy into the mix.

"Punching the Shark" :mrgreen:
If I had to pin down a shark jump...
I originally thought it was around #1845, when Marten and Hannelore discovered the Secret Bakery and its obvious alternate-universe characters... probably after it was revealed that the episode wasn't a one-shot throwaway joke. Still, I did like Padma as a character, and other storylines around that time. Things continued meandering, even through the occasional AI exposition (#2085, et al.).

Nah, ...

I haven't read past the first few weeks of that one, but QC's recent sci-fi robotshop "Corpse Witch" plunge has definitely escalating beyond the normal hijinks of Momo, May, and Pintsize.
I'd actually say sometime around Marten + Claire = end of "regular" QC. I would have liked the strip to end at #2882 (sad ending), but would have been fine with #2890 (happy ending). Oh well. So it goes.

See, after reading this, I was just like, "The whole comic has been in a similar, strange tone." But then I remembered that some of the characters went to a space station for a birthday party, and the station is actually sentient and can project itself into a human-ish form for easier communication. If that's not a shark jump, I have no idea what is.

Why do I get an image more like the Warhammer 40k MLP Army?
Jakk Frost:
I'm not saying I don't like the new character or anything like that, but at the moment I kinda feel like Mario and Luigi listening to the Jaws theme.
(edit) and looking back now, I see others have made similar observations.
USS Martenclaire:
Next week I want a series of strips where Pintsize and Winslow help a Roomba to jump a paddling pool full of goldfish. :D
