As of the strip for Wednesday (No. 2954), Jeph is 46 strips from 3,000 (give or take guest strips, fillers and birthdays). It's notable that today, he mentioned on Twitter "Sometimes I wonder if QC will be the only 2003 comic left eventually." The good news is that "eventually," which indicates that the end game is a ways off yet.
Which brings up two thoughts:
1. Jeff has occasionally, but not always, done something special for "round numbers:" "The Talk" at 500, old lady nudity at 1,000, Pintsize the Thumblord at 1,500.
But not always - 2,000 was in the midst of the "Momo's new look" arc, 2,500 in the middle of the Dale Meets May arc. He's been just as likely to mark numbers with meaning - 666, 1337, etc. With a lot of plot irons in the fire yet, he may pick 3,000 for a major character development/introduction/departure, or he may do Yelling Bird reading from The Urban Dictionary. You never know, which is one thing I think a lot of us like. Just something to keep an eye on.
2 After 3,000...who knows how many more? I think if you told Jeph on the day he pur QC No. 1 on the web that he'd be doing at least 3,000 of them, his hand would have involuntarily cramped. His Twitter posts seem to show him these days sometimes having rough days, either because he's tired or the demons are having a better day than he is. Then again it IS his life's work, and that can be a pretty big incentive/hammer over your head.
Either way, he's taken us on a great ride, and he continues, in my opinion, to do so.
-
He could troll us all by having strip 3k be Yelling Bird saying "Sayanora, #####es" and then three panels of black - followed by four panels of black for strip 3001.
Then, comic 3002 resumes whatever storyline he was on before, as if nothing ever happened.
EDIT: I just realized: Comic 3001 would be a Friday. That would be one heck of a troll...
-
For the longest time I thought this (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2800) was going to be our 3000. Well, ok sex (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2892) at 3000. Oh. Fayesplosion? (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2882) Nope.
I'm not sure if we're getting a big 3000. Since he had some big events that could be 3k worthy and chose not to drag it out. I think the major plot threads we have hanging are Dora showing up at Faye's door...or Sven doing it.
And of course, the prophetic dream coming to pass and Marigold getting pregnant with Baby Hanners (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2874).
-

Don't stop believin'.

That wasn't even my intention, and it fits sooooo perfectly.

3000 will be Momo 'Coming Out'
And her girlfriend will be Raven

I liked this comment, but it was not a TRUE 'liking.' It were of the ironic variety, because no.

It's the good advice you just didn't take. Are we honestly going to run through the entire song out of order? I mean, I'm game. I'm a bit drunk and I might pass out at any moment, but fuck, I got the lyrics up in another tab, let's fuckin' GO

I'm going entirely by memory - I listened to that song soooo many times back in... geez, 8th grade? 9th? :-D
And you're the one who went out of order. I just continued on from where you left off :-P

Don't joke about that, Gareth. From Jeph's recent Twitter posts, I wonder if he's seriously thinking about it!
-
Remember it's his living. Dropping all that Patreon income without being well set up with established alternative income is a pretty poor option!
-
he could write three years worth of the lower quality qc in his sleep, so mr. jaques has the option of phoning it in for a while if he likes.
does he earn patreon money for qc or is that just for the other thing?
-
The Patreon is for his webcomics creations in general, but I don't think he'd get away with ditching QC... :wink:

During his recent depressive episode, Jeph Tweeted an interesting thing. Whilst he was willing to drop Alice Grove for a week or until he felt that his mind-set had stabilised enough to confront it, he felt producing QC strips for the entire week was an obligation, irrespective of his health and state of mind.
Depending on your thought processes, an obligation can be a good thing or a bad thing. Now, I get the impression that Jeph is still enjoying writing and drawing QC. However, I have seen obligations become a 'ball and chain' to people's minds and a burden to their lives. I really hope that this doesn't happen to him.
-
you make a very good point there, benrg. what people insist on calling a good work ethic can often be a bad thing.
it's odd that hard work can help us through so many things and yet it so easily becomes an albatross.
albatross! gertyerloverlyalbatross!
sorry, somebody was going to do it though, weren't they?
-

Weird, I don't remember that line at all. I don't recall threesomes being ironic, even Alanis-ironic.

I think he was just having a bad few days. And I think he was feeling better when he went 'I just wrote 5 Alice scripts!'
Unless those scripts are fueled by Artist Torment. We'll see if Gavia sets any children on fire.

Unless strip 3K is some kind of MST3K shout-out... Marten, Pintsize and Winslow silouhetted in a darkened theater commenting on panels of Alice Grove. :)

It's not - it's essentially finding out the guy's taken, just after figuring out you're made for each other. We're talking the usual monogamous couple, not poly.
-
That's your interpretation.
-
How else would it count as "ironic"?
I mean threesomes are great, but context matters.

This. That, and threesomes weren't exactly something spoken of much back when the song was written, let alone a song that popular. We're talking about a song that'll be 20 years old this year.
-
Wait, are you seriously saying that threesomes weren't a thing in the '90s?

Not to me, that's for damn sure.
(That's a good thing, I was a child throughout the nineties)

Heh, same. I was born in 1987.
-
Heh, same. I was born in 1987.
Same here! Interesting fact: Did you know that we are ALMOST THIRTY?! Like, what the fuck? How'd that happen? I keep thinking it's still 2007 and there's still so much potential, but NOPE, our twenties are almost dead!
/complaint over.
Anyway, I hope comic #3000 is part of a long and fun party story featuring most of the characters from the 2014 cast poster. We haven't had a big group get-together in a while...
-
Wait, are you seriously saying that threesomes weren't a thing in the '90s?
That's nothing. The clitoris wasn't discovered 'til 1961. ;)
-
Did you know that we are ALMOST THIRTY?!
Says you, old man. I'm still 27 :wow:
(That being said, I'm actually much happier than I was at 20. Twenty wasn't a great year for the most part.)
-
Wait, are you seriously saying that threesomes weren't a thing in the '90s?
I'm not saying they weren't a thing. I'm saying that it wasn't a big thing in mainstream media back then. Even if it wasn't the case, the context is everything, as TRVA123 said.
-
It's meeting the man of your dreams, and then meeting his beautiful wife.

It's not - it's essentially finding out the guy's taken, just after figuring out you're made for each other. We're talking the usual monogamous couple, not poly.
Surely if you are made for each other, the guy will think the same and ditch his wife immediately, or ya'll will find an alternate solution (poly is a thing). If that doesn't happen... well, you weren't really made for each other.
-
Eh, poor wording on my part. Just because he's the man of her dreams, doesn't mean she's his.
But hey, we're all a little (or a lot!) pedantic sometimes.

pffft, Loki, this is an Alanis song, not a romantic comedy!

What's the difference?

That flippant remark isn't even an accurate joke!

Since when does accuracy affect humor? Do you listen to Mitch Hedberg and get pissed that ducks DON'T eat free at Subway?
-
No, because I have seen maybe eight minutes of Mitch Hedberg in my life :mrgreen:
And I don't think he's that funny.
SHOTS FIRED
Anyway, the point is, there's a difference between a joke that's funny for its surrealism and a parody-type remark that doesn't work.

Respectfully disagree as to Mitch Hedberg's quality as a comedian, but the point can be made of most comedians. I chose that example because I was eating Subway at that exact moment. I could sit here and analyze comedy with you all day, but I have tomato sprouts to tie to the trellis, and more immediately, a nap to take, so you know.

Obviously, to paraphrase a little-remembered Jerry Lewis film called Funny Bones, comedy is like watching someone in a skirt get out of a car; sometimes you see it, and sometimes you don't. It's all subjective.
But to use a different example.
Parody joke about George W. Bush that makes sense - making a joke about him being an alcoholic, an idiot, a warmonger or a fundamentalist, off the top of my head. There are more I can't be bothered to make sense of. So, to make a terrible joke, 'I don't know whether to watch a documentary about George W. Bush or alcoholism.' 'What's the difference?' Doesn't even really make sense, and also isn't funny, but at least makes reference to a well known thing about George Bush.
Parody joke about George W. Bush that wouldn't make sense - let's say, 'I don't know whether to watch a documentary about George W. Bush or the Ancient Egyptians.' 'What's the difference?'
My original point was, comparing Alanis Morissete's songs to rom-coms makes no sense because her songs are not like rom coms.
Also, I should've originally said 'I don't find Mitch Hedberg funny.'
-
Since when does accuracy affect humor? Do you listen to Mitch Hedberg and get pissed that ducks DON'T eat free at Subway?
Wait - they don't? Because I have never, ever seen a duck actually pay for its meal at Subway.
-
They are, on the other hand, required to wear long pants.
(Also, holy shit, one of the rare occasions I search a Simpsons reference and actually get a quality YouTube clip of just that bit, awesome.)
-
I can see the comparison between 'Ironic' and a rom-com. Since that's the only Alanis Morissette song I'm aware of, well, I get the similarities. Reading the end of it feels like a mission statement for a certain type of romantic comedy.
It's a matter of what you know. To me, your joke about Dubya being an alcoholic isn't relevant to anything because that side of his personality isn't talked about in the deeply-conservative red state I've lived in since birth. It's just not a term that comes to mind in connection with him.
-
(Also, holy shit, one of the rare occasions I search a Simpsons reference and actually get a quality YouTube clip of just that bit, awesome.)
I never get why they blindly remove everything. Full eps, sure. But clips? You should absolutely want people spamming free publicity over the internet for you.
-
Because they're money grubbing sociopaths with no regard for anything other than what they want.
-
But how does having the clips up not help them?
-

They didn't upload, they don't make money. Why they don't upload themselves is bryond me
-
That worked for the Pythons.
-
Did it? I was introduced to Flying Circus through youtube clips. You could, and presumably still can, watch sketches by the dozen through the site
-
That's probably what jwhouk meant. Originally, fans were uploading their own low-quality MP clips, so Monty Python loaded their own, better-quality versions, complete with ads for the Flying Circus collection and other material. Worked like a charm.
-
Ah. For some reason, I thought he was comparing the Pythons to the people over the Simpsons
-
It a simple diagnosis - they have lawyers - the cure is either financially painful and messy or loads of fun yet messy for everyone but the lawyers.
-
That flippant remark isn't even an accurate joke!
Since when does accuracy affect humor? Do you listen to Mitch Hedberg and get pissed that ducks DON'T eat free at Subway?
Yes, but mostly because I think the ducks deserve a break. It's bad enough that they've gotta spend their miserable short lives in duck bodies, but now they don't even get a free meal?
Okay so maybe Subway doesn't count as a meal, but you get the idea...
-
Yeah, but they don't get into Chicken Fights
-
Ducks get to be masters of land, water and air though.
Well, ok, barely passable on land and water and kinda mediocre in the air.
-
The avatar is a super-capble duck?
-
Last time a duck tried to master Fire was such a delicious meal.
-
Did we just discover the terrible first draft of Avatar:The Last Airbender/The Legend of Korra?

What am I expecting for strip 3,000? This is a guess but I'd like it to be Dora to propose to Tai. The major running thread for about 500-1000 strips afterward will be dominated by the massive repercussions, no matter what answer she gets.
-
Ha, what? It's way too soon for that.
-
July 10 is fast approaching...
-
I don't find Mitch Hedberg funny.
Because he's dead.
3000 will be Marten waking up the morning of 9 (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=9). It was all a dream.
-
And he goes to get the mochas, and gives one to Sara and asks her out. She says yes, and they ride the allosaur off into the distance.
-
And Claire, seeing her time-travel alternate-universe scheme fail, pays the allosaur to eat Sara.
-
The allosaur secretly being a (Volkswagen) Beetle.
Owned by Raven.
Inhabited by May.
-
Wait a minute, that's not an allosaur, that's a ... GIANT ROBOTIC WHALE!
(http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2337)
-
Naaahhh, it's just Bumblebee
-
Another webcomic's forum did a huge speculation about what was going to be in the x00'th strip, what we got was this (http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0600.html). We got something special for the 500th (though I wasn't reading the strip at that point) but I don't think Jeph had many plans at the start to continue much past that. Oh how he was proved wrong. There might be something iconic in the 3000th strip but I don't think that Jeph is significantly altering the timescale of his plots to make that happen.

My prediction for strip 3k:
May and Claire finally meet and only one of them survives the encounter.

I'm a little confused by the potential implications of this post. Are you suggesting ClaireHair is serpentine in nature?

No, that it has similar qualities to the little hats, yessssssss.

ClaireHair would grow into an eldritch abomination, gingery tentacles and adorably tiny headgear, turning all who see it into empty-headed gibbering fools, too overcome by adorbs to continue the neccessities of life on earth.
Pintsize, no longer constrained by the will of mortal man and his silly ideals of 'decency,' and 'restraint,' and immune to the concepts of 'cute,' would become supreme ruler, unleashing untold millennia of obscenities and hilarity.

Well, it's the big 3-triple-zero next Friday! Just from where the strip is at the moment, I can guess three possible big events:
- Faye gets a new job and there is some surprise twist involved;
- Some fallout from what happens this week between Clinton and Emily (could be a nasty Wham! if Clinton dumps Emily);
- Something else Faye-related; maybe Angus comes back for a visit.
Do you guys have any ideas?
-
I'd go with Faye's new job. Clinton and Emily aren't really established as a couple, so them not continuing to date wouldn't be a big deal.
-
Well, let's go bull goose loony:
Faye signs on as Sven's roadie as he gets a gig on Angus's show.

... As lead.singer for the house band, Deathm(slash-o)le.

ø isn't all that hard to type :P
-
Depends on your keyboard layout and/or OS. I mean, it's Option-o on a Mac (or AltGr-o on the third-party "United States-Macintosh" layout (https://github.com/adunning/Mac-Keyboard-Layouts-for-Windows) for Windows), but on something like a standard US layout on Windows? Alt-0248 isn't exactly easy to remember.
-
True, I have the luxury of a "compose" key.
-
You could always switch your keyboard layout if you really need the character. Or substitute a character from the keyboard layout you're using: Deathmõle. :roll:
-
Couldn't find it on any of the options on my Moto keypad. Opted for the substitution, figuring people would see I acknowledged it but would get the gist and not pettifog. Then I remembered I was on da intertubez.
-
Honestly you'd probably have had better luck just putting the o in there and not calling attention to it :parrot:
-
And if you really wanted to have fun with it you could have replaced the ø with a u. :-D
-
It turns out all of Deathmole's songs are about a poisoned sauce at a Mexican restaurant.

Now see, this is the WCDT I remember and loved.

Funny, she doesn't look Druish.

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
-
At 3000 the story transitions into a story about a group of dogs and their wacky misadventures.
The rest of the cast disappears besides Emily, their owner/walker/stalker. However she's never shown above her waist and when she talks it sounds like when adults talk in Peanuts. Possibly because the dogs don't know english, possibly because she just feels like talking like that.
-
In strip 3005 Inspector Pancakes pees on Pintsize. Pintsize hates this but also loves it. :wow:
-
3000 will have ten times as many Spartans.
-
HAROO!
HAROO!
HAROO!
-
Given that the Clinton-Emily conversation is going into next week, I'm going to put down my marker that Strip 3000 will focus in some way on them. Either Clinton will make a decision about them that will affect many characters or Emily will announced The Dark Truth about her (https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,30722.msg1325678.html#msg1325678)origins and mysterious abilities (https://forums.questionablecontent.net/index.php/topic,30722.msg1325927.html#msg1325927).

What if Claire is hired as the Smith Librarian? Would it stress her relationship with Marten if she became the one giving orders? Would it be like one of those sitcom episodes where two characters see each other naked in an innocent mistake and suddenly the balance of power shifts?
-
Wait, why would the balance of power shift if both characters saw the other naked?
-
It's always more injurious to the dominant character, because (s)he is brought down (if only slightly closer) to the submissive character's level.
This trope isn't as popular as it used to be. These days characters can have a similar story by drunk dialing each other.
-
What if Claire is hired as the Smith Librarian? Would it stress her relationship with Marten if she became the one giving orders? Would it be like one of those sitcom episodes where two characters see each other naked in an innocent mistake and suddenly the balance of power shifts?
It'd be a subtle change. The dynamic of the relationship that makes Claire good for Marten is he's in the lead. But at the same time it's not like Marten isn't used to getting bossed around by women. So while it might hurt the relationship a bit, it's not like it'd lead to a explosion of drama.
For that reason I'm not sure if that's a good way to go about things, it doesn't really do a lot for the story. Claire will very likely get a job, but as for Marten answering to her I think the only interesting thing that might come out of it storywise is if he decided to move on professionally. Do the band thing. Maybe work at a music store. Start a webcomic.
-
I knew a couple who's dynamic switched between work and home (they worked at the same place). One was boss at work, but the other was clearly in charge at home. It doesn't have to be simple or obvious.
-
FWIW, I have long wondered if Marten may expand his blog about popular music into becoming a music journalist. It seems to be something that he's good at and genuinely likes.
Maybe Claire will find out that the students studying music at Smiff consider it to be their 'go to' for deconstruction of new releases and she realises that Marten has potentially a saleable commodity on his hands.
-
GarandMarine raised a superb point along those lines. Marten may get employee tuition benefits. He could pursue a graduate degree in music and begin teaching it. Professor Reed might only be adjunct faculty but he'd get more fulfillment than he does pushing carts around.
-

Considering Claire's view of managing a library has been established as it being 'SERIOUS BUSINESS', I can definitely see some conflict arising if she takes on a totalitarian management strategy, should she ever get the opportunity. I could certainly see that happening.
-
Maybe SHE should have the robot hand. Because she rules with a iron fist. :claireface:
-
Oooh, it's so close.

IT'S CALLING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!

Isn't Smif, like its real-world version, women only?
-
Don't know about Smif, but many real-world women-only college are more lenient on graduate admissions, often because the pool of applicants is much smaller.
-

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
And yeah, I think I remember learning a long time ago that Smith (aka the real life Smif) accepts men for grad studies.
-
From the real Smith College Non-discrimination website (http://www.smith.edu/global_nondisc.php):
Smith's admission policies and practices are guided by the same principle, concerning women applying to the undergraduate program and all applicants to the graduate programs.

Thanks for clearing that up!

GarandMarine raised a superb point along those lines. Marten may get employee tuition benefits. He could pursue a graduate degree in music and begin teaching it. Professor Reed might only be adjunct faculty but he'd get more fulfillment than he does pushing carts around.
While I did think Marten would pursue a career that involved teaching music, I expected something more along the lines of advertising guitar lessons on Craigslist.

That's more realistic unless he gets really motivated. Maybe Claire will kick-start him.

I smell a big heap of nothing important happening on 3000.

Or maybe she'll make a Deathmøle kickstarter :parrot:

I dunno, we just had Emily baring her weird soul to Clinton. I smell something tomorrow approximating the beginning of sonething more between them. Nothing conpared to the more wild, outlandish theories proposed in this thread, but a noteworthy advancement of the Emilton arc.

More like Emily and Clinton deciding with a smile that they've going to try this. What 'this' is remains to be seen by us and them alike.
Actually, Jeph's news post is the Strip 3000 marker: He's just realised what a lot of comics he's made!

I kind of want a tattoo. Probably where Clinton has his...but of a dog. Or maybe a wolf. A friendly wolf, of course.

Hrm. No "like" button here. Consider this my press of that missing button.

No? I can see it...

It goes away if you have Noscript and block scripts here.

Diefenbaker?

Hey, now I know two former Canadian Prime Ministers! (The other one is Brian Mulroney)

Jeph psyched us all
Comic 3000, nothing special, just another day in QCland
:-D
-
I dunno, panel 3 was pretty special.

[EmilyVoice]Hmmmm

I meant this Diefenbaker (https://www.google.com/search?q=Diefenbaker&es_sm=122&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=_VWgVfGoG9bloASCrLToDQ&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=1366&bih=609#tbm=isch&q=diefenbaker+due+south), but I did expect the other to come up first.

HOLY SHIT YES.

He reads lips.
"Myths springs from truth, Ray. Most wolves form very strong loyalties and will kill to defend them. I know. I've experienced it."
"Really?"
"Oh, it's all right. He knows you. Just keep your hands where he can see them. And make the puffin face.""

THEN WHO WAS PHONE?
I thought Who was on third base?
-
Who's on first.
-
I Don't Know.
ABBOTT and COSTELLO (together): "THIRD BASE!"
-
I ike #3000. It isn´t spectacular, but it has a nice and optimistic touch.
And if you look back to #1000 (naked old ladies) and #2000 (new chassis for Momo), those weren´t exactly spectacular either. Obviously Jeph doesn´t take those big numbers too seriously.

The Emily-Clinton relationship seems rather forced to me. Like Jeph decided to tie a couple tertiary characters together to see if they float.
Get it? Float? Ship? :claireface:
