Relationship arcs do nothing to hold my interest, mainly because in QC the stakes aren't high, if they even exist.

Who needs stakes and storylines? Pure fluff, especially fluff with well-developed and relatable characters, is one of my favorite things to read.

Farideh:
Just goes to show that we all enjoy different things. I quite like the current story arcs, since it's nice, lightweight entertainment and I have enough to worry about in my day-to-day life. I need my escapism. Like Datalore, I didn't really get many of the punchlines in the earlier strips (even if I was the right age group) because I've never been into Indie music. I listened to some of the bands mentioned and didn't like them much.

Then again, if Jeph could put a bit of 'random riffing on a subject' back into the comic, I'd love that. Tiny hypoallergenic cows bring a smile to my face :)

I don’t feel especially especially trolled. Voice actors sometimes will take on a lot of characters in one show, like Hank Azaria in The Simpsons.

It’s not trolling if it’s a joke based how an industry works in what seems to the audience to be contradictory or surprising ways.

Look up Scott McNeil's VA credits. He was 3/4 (or more) of the Ruby Spear's Megaman cartoon cast and at least 3 separate characters in Beast Wars.

SeattleCrochetWoman:
I like Roko’s hair too. I get so tired of the idea that women have to have long or at least shoulder-length hair. It used to be acceptable for women,mercenary young women, to have short hair. Now if you’re a woman under 70, your hair has to be at least shoulder length or you get negative comments. And the same thing if guys let their hair grow. I’m sick of it. Why do we all have to have the same hair length?

St.Clair:
My problem is not that any one person has short hair.
It's that, over time, all of them end up with short hair.
It reduces the diversity of character design.
To return to an extreme example I've used before, imagine if everyone was represented by circles of various colors and/or sizes, otherwise featureless and identical.  Just... circles.
