The Ask Jeph thread
JSS:
uh in the first (technically second issue) of my comic book one of the main characters is wearing a coffee of doom shirt,i did this as homage but um just wondering...are you gonna sue me?
JSS:
p.s question pt 2
if you are gonna sue me....can you not?
Countergod:
Before I ask my question, I would like to offer my condolences on your severed artery and wish you a speedy recovery. The question i ask is to be taken in humor and is not meant to be disrespectful in any way.
I cant help notice the parallel between your knife accident and Faye's cooking accident. Did you put that into Faye's character because you (or some you know well) had that kind of accident, or was it a simple coincidence/divine intervention that you made a character who cut themselves on the hand with a knife, then you cut yourself on the hand with a knife too?

This is an odd question. Which of the characters do you think can sing?
--- End quote ---
Faye and Dora. Nobody else.

Pete Townshend seems like kind of a jerk, but he writes some good tunes.
--- Quote from: orthonormal on 27 Aug 2006, 21:59 ---A long while ago (around #300), you said you had an idea of where the strip was heading. ?More recently, you've indicated that this isn't quite the case any more.
So, my question:
Which major developments had you imagined way back when, and which ones just sprouted closer to the moment? ?You've said you had The Talk and Hannelore planned well in advance (as I assume you had the Marten-Dora thing planned); what about Marten's firing? ?The band? ?Sven rehabilitating? ?The new Coffee of Doom Employee, whenever she shows up?
Thanks!
--- End quote ---
Everything past Marten and Dora getting together has been largely improvised with an eye to long-term developments. If that makes any sense.

And (as someone who watches too much anime for my own good) I want to know if Pintsize would be voiced by a person (and if so, by whom) or a voice synthesizer? This is assuming QC would be put into audible format.
--- End quote ---
No. Josh Homme could though. I will never give Pintsize a voice if I can help it.
--- Quote from: donovangelonardo on 01 Sep 2006, 01:23 ---How are Marten and Steve friends? ?Steve seems to be his only acquaintance prior meeting Faye in this entire city, and I don't believe they share(d) the same work place. ?Mutual friends of bitchy ex?
--- End quote ---
College buddies? Met in a gay bathhouse? I dunno.
--- Quote from: Tergon on 09 Sep 2006, 19:05 ---If you absolutely had to choose... ?Indian, Thai, Mexican or Italian? ?Food, that is. ?Though I suppose hookers would be good to know as well.
--- End quote ---
I like Thai more, but I could probably eat Mexican more often before I got sick of it.
--- Quote from: Kyros on 18 Sep 2006, 11:43 ---Whatever happened to Marten's Yelling about Music blog?
--- End quote ---
Haven't had time.
--- Quote from: jackmulligan on 28 Sep 2006, 16:57 ---Although you've made it clear that Marten isn't completely based upon you, is that the case with the other cast members, Tequila Monster included?
Also (even when the question is a tad late)...Do you like soccer?...I'm asking because of the IndieTits strip about the World Cup, and the German National Team badge on Faye's shirt (nitpicky and a wee bit obsessive, i know).
--- End quote ---
Nobody in the comic is "based" on me any more than any other character. They're all extensions of my personality I guess, since I made 'em up.
I like watching the World Cup. Beyond that I don't really keep up.
--- Quote from: Napoleon the Clown on 04 Oct 2006, 11:39 ---If a fan asked you to give them a cameo, would you?? If so, would they die horribly (in the comic)?
If a fan were to ask you to draw one of the characters naked, how would you respond? (Please note, this is curiosity.? I have porn if I want to see that stuff)
Are there any unacceptable ways for a fan to introduce themselves to you?
Have you ever had to suppress the urge to tell a fan to "Get a fucking life!"?? Or do you just yell it at them if you feel the need?
--- End quote ---
1) Probably not.
2) Only for millions of dollars.
3) With a knife.
4) Outside of the forums? Nope. People are generally nice in person!
--- Quote from: Dayuse on 04 Oct 2006, 14:49 ---I'm curious about two things:
1. Does the future hold crazy international trips to or more insane-o crossovers with other comics in Questionable Content?
2. Have you considered or are you planning on any new comic concepts other than Questionable Content or IndieTits?
3. If I repeated any questions in this post, would I be shunned for it or would you look it over as understandable?
--- End quote ---
1. Probably.
2. Constantly.
3. Whatevs. It's better than the same 10 questions every interviewer asks me for their articles.
--- Quote from: Napoleon the Clown on 04 Oct 2006, 22:38 ---Eek, more questions come to mind...
What artists did you use as a source of material inspiration?
So if advertisements and merch are your sole source of income, what takes up most of your time?? Beating off horny female fans?
Where's the beef?
--- End quote ---
1. Everything. Literally everything.
2. Packing t-shirts and drawing.
3. In my freezer.
--- Quote from: Mieville on 07 Oct 2006, 05:08 ---My question, as long as it hasn't been asked yet.
When, can, how will you include more Mieville (or cats in general) in future comics?
--- End quote ---
Maybe! Cats are fun to draw.

--- End quote ---
Not unless you start sellin' the shirts yourself. In which case I will burn your house down with you trapped in it.

I'm gonna chalk it up to coincidence. Most everybody's had to get stitches in their hand at some point or another.
Napoleon the Clown:
My respect for you just went up even more, Jeph. Taking the time to respond to our questions even after fucking up your hand takes commitment to your fans. Especially when typing is painful for you.
Jeph=Most dedicated webcomic author ever.
