I'm going to say that again:
If a mother fucking comic strip is being cited as one of the things that influences your life... Skip the tattoo. Seriously.

Questionable Content has influenced my life, or more exact, Jeph's writing has influenced my life. Yes, yes, I know he never studied psychology, but the man has said things that make me think, and make me realize my life isn't that bad. Sure, my parents are a tad oppressive, my job is menial and boring, not to mention the idiots that work there...but all in all, QC and Jeph have shown me that life isn't that bad, and that one should always think with a humorous side and give people the benefit of the doubt.
So, sue me if my life isn't that fantastical, and webcomics influence my life. But Jeph is an amazing man with impressive writing skills/insight.
I view that as something that I should give praise to, he's given his time and a lot of effort into putting pen to screen in writing this comic, and I'm going to honor that with an inked needle to skin.
I might also send him money and buy some shirts too.

Nothin' wrong with a comic tat if you do it right.

Eh. I like this one.
--- Quote from: Patrick on 25 Jun 2009, 14:27 ---Dear Jeph,
When recording songs via an interface on your Mac, do you ever have a problem where you get hard waveform clipping even at painfully low volumes? If so, how do you solve this problem? Do you merely clone that track? Kinda curious how your shit always sounds so clean even though you're using a USB interface. Mine have never done anything but give me nasty distortion that can't even be turned musical.
Love,
Me!

I've never run into that problem unless I have the master output on my POD turned up too high! I just plug everything into the POD and run the POD 1/4" outputs via a Y-cable into the audio input on my Mac. Just set the volume on the POD somewhere comfy (usually about 50%) and I'm good to go.

I know that you've said crowds are an ass-pain to draw, but I was wondering if there's any chance you might eventually have Deathmole play at a club. I know there are plot-things that would need to get resolved before that could happen, but . . . I think that would make some pretty sweet art. Heck, even if Nat never comes back, Pintsize could sub for her, thus reprising his amp-jump from the discontinued t-shirt. :wink:
Or maybe I just miss Amir. Just wondering. And yes, I'm still loving the Awkwardness Defeated silly outfits thingie.

I actually had a whole "deathmole's first show" story plotted out in my head only to realize it was basically exactly the same as the "band's first show" story in Nothing Nice to Say. So obviously I scrapped it.
It'll come up eventually, it's just on the back burner right now.

Breaded, which is probably why I'm a fatty.

Any chance of QC wallpapers? I know there are a few floating around in the newspost but I can never find them.
Thanks!!

ehhhhh that sounds boring to me right now
--- Quote from: edwinalink on 30 Jun 2009, 07:04 ---speaking of veronica's... have you ever googled veronica varlow? :-D just curious!
--- End quote ---
no
--- Quote from: Jace on 30 Jun 2009, 09:20 ---Hey Jeph, if you met a dude at a con that had tattoos of your characters what would you say/do to him?
--- End quote ---
It would be extremely awkward for me, I think. If it was shitty I obviously couldn't say anything, and I'm not sure what would constitute a "good" QC tattoo. Maybe one of the girls, pinup style, but my art is so bad and/or changes so rapidly I can't imagine anyone would get one of those and not regret it in a few years.
I keep meaning to offer commissioned artwork, but I'm afraid I'll have to spend 90% of my time going "no, I really REALLY don't want to draw you a Pintsize tattoo." Still, to each his/her own. I'd probably draw QC tattoo art for someone if they begged hard enough and paid enough money and the design idea wasn't total shit.
If I ever meet one of the people who stole my bird tattoos for themselves, though, I am going to punch them in the dick/clit. That is just not cool at all.
--- Quote from: tinysmidgen on 30 Jun 2009, 17:10 ---Monsieur Jaques,
If I offered you monies for a commission of two separate pieces for tattoos (small ones, like, two inches tall or so), one of Pintsize pre-joints with lazer body, and one of Winslow with eyebrows. Would you do so? And what would the cost be?
--- End quote ---
See above. I really, REALLY discourage people from getting AnthroPC tattoos. Please, please don't do it. If you're dead set on getting some of my art carved into your flesh, email me and we'll work something out. But it's not gonna be little robots.
Zingoleb:
Why the AnthroPC tat hate?
Dr Sasquatchula:
I know exactly how Jeph feels (though not to put words in his mouth)... I've been asked a couple of times to design tattoos for people, but it's just too much pressure. If I were to design a tattoo, it would be for myself, that way I would be responsible for my own mistake, not another person's mistake. There was a guy who asked me to do a tattoo for him that somehow incorporated soccer and music. I was like, "what the fuck? There is no way I can make that into any sort of bitchin'." Tattoos, by nature, have to have a certain level of bitchin'-ness. Maybe that's what Jeph fears about the Anthro-PC tats?
SilentJ:
I think it's more that he puts a lot more effort and thought into the design of the human characters he draws rather than the AnthroPCs, whose designs have remained more or less the same for most, if not all of the strip. He's said in the past that after drawing an AnthroPC-only strip, he feels sort of like having cheated his readers, since it's so easy to draw and write. In designing a tattoo, I think he's saying he would like a person to use the works of his that took a lot more to get to where they are now, and are being improved upon every day.
