I dunno, it seems like a few people in this thread find the current content questionable, for some reason.
It still feels like the same comic to me, just moving forward and expanding. Except for the lack of much to do with Marten and music, maybe, but while that was always a Thing for him, it was never really central to the comic, so it doesn't feel odd that it's more or less fallen off even if I notice the absence.
I mean heck, for the poster who suggested it's overly dramatic now with the Cerebus remark, this bit opened with Pintsize slapping googly eyes on his face to prank people in the morning. Extreme melodrama there, not lighthearted at all.

At the risk of sounding like a ridiculous fanboy... I've been reading QC since finding out that Faye's breasts are a powerful narcotic. The humor, the wit, the exploration of Jeph's life through the expressions that are the characters has been awesome all these years. The idea barrel isn't empty, it never was a barrel to begin with. It's always been just Jeph, as an open book: thoughts, concepts, abstractions, emotions, exploration, ideas, hopes, redemption; viewed through the constructs of his universe. People, as they get older, change, so too his characters. Some grow if they are self aware, others, with little self reflection, just get older, and maybe just eat cereal, thinking about a past adventure from Russia. We've watched a cast of aspects endure the sharp angst of youth, confront past trauma, suffer through alcoholism, find love, lose love, find happiness for the ones they loved, overcome deeply rooted anxieties, explore what it means to be sentient, and still be able to find levity in the balance. I've been questioning when Pintsize was going to have his day, I look forward to the content, and welcome this new Quartsize.

Didn't Pintsize have a tie on?
Farideh:
He took it off during the previous comic (I had to go back and check).
I feel ill equipped to comment on the 'ACAB' uttering by Pintsize.
