--- End quote ---
No.
--- Quote from: radu on 11 Oct 2007, 08:48 ---You said earlier in this massive thread you had hopes of looking at getting a QC book out around the end of 2007. How is that going?
--- End quote ---
HAHAHAHAHahahaheheheheheh. Heh. Uh.
--- Quote from: StMonkey on 11 Oct 2007, 15:16 ---How did you come up with the fantastic and varied names for positions by number of posts? Were you really that bored?
--- End quote ---
I didn't do it all at once.
--- Quote from: Hobbs on 11 Oct 2007, 20:53 ---1. What is the question you want to be asked most?
2: What is the answer to that question?
3) WHY ARE YOU IGNORING INDIETITS ;_;
D Since, so I've heard, QC started out as a comic about Marten and Pintsize and having an anthropomorphic robot, at what point did you decide that it was going to go in a completely different direction and head off into the lives of young hipsters and there adventures in life? (I hope I didn't bungle the phrasing of that up as much as I'm sure that I did)
--- End quote ---
1. "Would you like me to give you one million dollars?"
2. Yes, please.
3. Too busy.
D) It just happened on its own. The comic wanted to go that way so I let it.
--- Quote from: Bearer on 12 Oct 2007, 19:57 ---Do you know what happened to Aido's comic Fallen? I sorely miss it, In fact, it [the comic] is still in my Bookmarks and I periodically check it to see for updates.
Also, did you know you share the same name as author Brian Jacques (of Redwall fame) and have you ever read any of his books growing up?
--- End quote ---
As I understand it she got too busy with school and too sick of people bitching at her to update it.
Yeah, I read a couple of those. Didn't like 'em much.
--- Quote from: whitman on 13 Oct 2007, 13:46 ---Hey Jeph,
Have you ever heard of Dream Theater? From what I've heard you say about Wolves in the Throne Room and Opeth (I've never actually heard either of those bands...can't find them anywhere nurr), Dream Theater has a lot of those same aspects. Crazy guitar solos, lengthly songs, bizarre time changes and signatures...
If you have tell me what ya think!
Thanks
--- End quote ---
Dream Theater is like Opeth only Opeth is good.
--- Quote from: tinkerbell on 15 Oct 2007, 00:05 ---Hey Jeph!
I was wondering whether something that will change the QC world completely will happen with comic #1000? I am not asking for specifics, just an indication :)
--- End quote ---
Woops.

Also, VG Music Composer Extraordinaire Richard Jacques?
--- End quote ---
Also Jacques Cousteau
--- Quote from: spgphil on 17 Oct 2007, 01:52 ---Is there any chance of you attending WonderCon in San Francisco in February?
http://www.comic-con.org/wc/index.php
--- End quote ---
Maybe in '09. We're booked solid for Feb '08.
--- Quote from: Janny on 17 Oct 2007, 04:24 ---Jeph, I know you love the Dune series, but do you have other favorite sci-fi books? Anything written by Asimov perhaps?
--- End quote ---
Yeah basically all Asimov, all Stephen Baxter, Charles Stross, William Gibson, Neal Stephenson, etc etc.
--- Quote from: Kugai on 17 Oct 2007, 23:07 ---Do you also read Heinlien?
--- End quote ---
Not yet, but I really should.
--- Quote from: MC on 18 Oct 2007, 00:22 ---
--- Quote --- I had Hannelore sitting around in a sketchbook for months before I figured out how to put her in the comic.
--- End quote ---
do you have any unissued charecters in your sketchbook right now?
--- End quote ---
I never really know until they appear in the comic.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 20 Oct 2007, 17:56 ---How do you pronounce "Mieville"?
--- End quote ---
I always assume it's just "me-ville."
--- Quote from: billythehick on 23 Oct 2007, 16:43 ---you've said before that when people interview you they all just ask the same ten questions.
could you list off the stupid questions they all ask you and the answers?
(you don't have to give exactly ten, just the ones you can think of off the top of your head)
also, since there's a lot of book stuff going on in this thread at the moment, do you read lemony snicket? (elaborate a bit with this one please.)
--- End quote ---
1. Why did you start your comic
2. What is your comic about
3. Why is it a webcomic
4. What are the advantages of being a webcomic
5. When will there be a book
6. Who are your influences
7. Is it your full time job
8. How do you make money
9. How much money do you make (I never answer this one)
10. How much traffic does your site get
And no I have not read those books.
--- Quote from: Ponk on 24 Oct 2007, 05:16 ---So my question is, what is the likelihood of a new, updated cast poster that includes the new additions like Penny, Meena, Tai and Hannelore's strangely poofy hair?
Also I guess, the likelihood of a QC book in the foreseeable future? Because I would buy that book so hard.
And additional, bonus question... Who would win in an all-out, drunken bar brawl; Marten's mum, or Hanners'? (u's in your "mum"s courtesy of the mystical faraway land of Australia) And I'm just assuming that if such a brawl were to occur, Mr. Bianchi would be there with popcorn and a smile.
--- End quote ---
New poster- absolutely.
Book- eventually.
Marten's mom, without question. Hanners is a creampuff.
--- Quote from: Sam66 on 24 Oct 2007, 16:35 ---Jeph ; Or anybody else can answer this one!
Is it me or does Dora have some serious camel toe going on in in the last panel of comic #998!!
--- End quote ---
It's the seam of her shorts.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 24 Oct 2007, 17:15 ---Why is it that Dora, the most computer-enthusiastic character, doesn't have an AnthroPC?
--- End quote ---
She has a cat.
--- Quote from: billythehick on 26 Oct 2007, 05:27 ---jeph, have you ever gone looking for fanart porn of your characters. y'know, for research purposes?
--- End quote ---
I never have to go looking for it. Any time new QC porn pops up on the internet someone emails me all "haev u seen this LOL"
--- Quote from: Kairuka on 28 Oct 2007, 22:17 ---Jeph, what's up with the girl in panel 1 of #1001? Why does she look like Dora and Faye had a baby who grew up instantaneously and ended up with saggy boobs?
--- End quote ---
Dunno.
--- Quote from: WeezeOnMe on 01 Nov 2007, 20:25 ---Jeph, were you an athleticist in high school?
--- End quote ---
No.
--- Quote from: songiesworld on 04 Nov 2007, 23:21 ---Jeph,
I know your style is always changing but I wanted to know in comic# 1006, why you chose to use that style. It's a more condensed look of the characters. I thought I was going crazy but Marten's features are definitely not as long. Sometimes artists are inspired by something. Just wondering.
Also would if bother you if a fan did a fan animation in Flash of your characters? Your characters are a perfect style for flash and it was a idea I had.
Thanks.
--- End quote ---
I was just trying something new. It didn't really stick.
And no, I don't mind fan cartoons as long as they're properly credited.
--- Quote from: JamesonOnTheRox on 15 Nov 2007, 12:07 ---I must ask, what is the attraction to Western, Ma? You and Jeff Rowling live out there and if im not mistaken the dude from Dr. McNinja who's name escapes me. I have a friend who goes to school out there and besides the lovely trees and farms, why does there seem to be a commune of awesome web comic creators in the middle of no where?
funny side note, I spent last weekend in Williamsburg, Brooklyn and was told to check out your comic so you must be doing something right if the hipsters are going out of their way to promote you.
--- End quote ---
Chris McNinja actually lives in Brooklyn at the moment but we are trying to tempt him to move up here. It's quieter and the air is cleaner and the rent is cheap and it's one of the most liberal places in the country. Think mini-San Fransisco.
Last time I was in SoHo some dude passed me on the street wearing one of my Hobocore t-shirts. I never get used to that.
--- Quote from: Luminous on 16 Nov 2007, 10:22 ---the guy who returns again and again to the C.O.D ( cof of doom ) hasnt appeared in a while ... : huge gasp : has he given up or is he simply waiting for his chance to launch a massive strike on poor Faye
and ive also noticed faye drawing a bit closer to sven dispite his obvious past jackassagans ( much like shenanagens only involving a donkey and a 50 foot drop )
is this the begining of akwardness for faye , marty , dora and her twit of a brother
--- End quote ---
You are basically asking for spoilers
I never divulge spoilers
Except for how everyone dies in the end
--- Quote from: thatwittygeek on 16 Nov 2007, 20:48 ---Does the comic consume all of your time?
--- End quote ---
Depends what you mean. The actual writing and drawing only take 5-6 hours a day usually. Add shipping merch and forum browsing and email reading and it goes up to 8 for me. Cristi works longer than me a lot of the time as she does all the business stuff which I should never be allowed anywhere near.
--- Quote from: GenericName on 18 Nov 2007, 12:56 ---Jeph, my friends and I were having a conversation about jobs and the saying, "work to live, don't live to work", and I presented you as an example of someone who loves their job.
So we were wondering, do you see yourself writing the webcomic for a large part of your life?
--- End quote ---
I could see myself writing *a* webcomic. Dunno if it'll always be QC.
--- Quote from: Lord Orange on 19 Nov 2007, 17:25 ---what is your opinion on the terror that is rule 34 and your character's involvement with it.
--- End quote ---
Rule 34 is funny.
--- Quote from: Tergon on 22 Nov 2007, 19:09 ---Do you have any ideas bumping around in the back of your head - jokes, plotlines, etc. - that you've always wanted to use in QC, but can't because you're forced to admit that it just wouldn't work with the characters as they are now? And if so, what's an example of one?
--- End quote ---
Not really. I have a pretty good idea of what will work and what won't so I don't waste a lot of time on fruitless thought.
--- Quote from: Somethingfake on 26 Nov 2007, 05:57 ---What would you say is your most recent or biggest improvement on your art work?
And which shirt design you have up for sale is the most popular?
--- End quote ---
Who knows. I can never tell until six months later and by then it looks like shit to me anyway.
Three-way tie between Math, Library, and Evolution.
--- Quote from: The Viz on 26 Nov 2007, 10:09 ---I was just curious, what is your feeling on ska music? Because you reference pretty much every genre (good or bad), but I don't recall ever reading a reference to a ska band in QC.
--- End quote ---
I do not enjoy the ska music
--- Quote from: CloudyObsession on 26 Nov 2007, 17:18 ---Have you ever heard of a band called Paramore? If so, what are your thoughts?
--- End quote ---
With a name like that they CAN'T be any good.
--- Quote from: viva_x on 27 Nov 2007, 17:21 ---I really should research to see if someone already asked this, but Jeph, would you ever consider making QC action figures?
I would buy ALL of them.
TWICE.
--- End quote ---
The lead time on action figures is INSANE. Like, a year. Maybe?
--- Quote from: Dlouc on 28 Nov 2007, 11:35 ---Hey Jeph! Do you hallucinate when you get a fever to?
--- End quote ---
Sometimes. The sleepwalky ones are the worst.
--- Quote from: Starless on 30 Nov 2007, 17:50 ---What is the air velocity of an unlaiden swallow?
--- End quote ---
African or European?
--- Quote from: Ventolin on 04 Dec 2007, 08:02 ---Silly question, but what nationality is Meena?
Also, put her in the cast page!
--- End quote ---
Indian.
--- Quote from: CloudyObsession on 06 Dec 2007, 15:59 ---New one for you: I'm pretty sure this has been asked, but do you personally know or know of a person with OCD as sever as Hannelore? I know someone with OCD, but it never seems as bad as hers.
--- End quote ---
No. People like that don't actually leave their houses.
--- Quote from: Is it cold in here? on 08 Dec 2007, 01:01 ---Why was Dora single until she got together with Marten? Young, attractive, and with what Star Trek delicately called "strong female drives". It's interesting that she hadn't already put a man into her life.
--- End quote ---
Why is anybody single at a given time?
--- Quote from: Somethingfake on 12 Dec 2007, 04:38 ---What do you think of Radiohead's latest effort? I noticed in your honourable mentions that 15-step was there.
--- End quote ---
It's pretty good. I think I have kind of outgrown Radiohead though.
CloudyObsession:
Where did you get the ideas for the tequila/bourbon monsters? Have you ever seen them while drunk or are they completely original?
Somethingfake:
I'll be receiving an "Evolution Kills" shirt for Christmas (well hopefully, UK customs being what it is) and I was wondering if you were accepting any customer photo's wearing your shirts?
Are you capable of Sam Beam like facial hair, or do you avoid such things?
numbvox:
Here's my question for Jeph:
I've heard you like CAD... Do you really like CAD? Honestly? :-o
Seosamh macseafra:
What are your thoughts on flogging molly?
