I've been doing some catching up lately on some other webcomics. I've noticed QC referenced in three individual comics. These aren't guest strips by Jeph-- these cartoons by the regular cartoonists for that strip:
The sign right behind the three people and a dog singing:

The poster behind the woman in the first panel:

And the guy in the middle of the last panel:
http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp11022007.shtml
(Although that's Jeph himself, rather than a direct reference to the QC-verse).
Does anybody know of any other times when QC is referenced in a regular web-cartoon?
-
Wasn't there a webcomic that had a giant robot with similarities in appearance to Pintsize?
-
Something Positive had a sortakindamaybe crossover with QC a while back. Davan was discussing the suicide of some author and, as a joke, when Milholland drew the suicide in black and white (author in car shooting self in head with gun), he added Faye (http://somethingpositive.net/sp12042005.shtml).
So Jeph drew Davan and Nancy as background characters at coffee of doom (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=511).
Following which, Milholland showed that Davan and Nancy had indeed stopped for coffee (http://somethingpositive.net/sp12082005.shtml).

Wow, that's actually really really cool.
-
That is cool. I always sort of thought the people in the background looked depressed like that because of what Faye was talking about. Weird.
-
There's also this cameo exchange from December 2005:
Amy and Shelley from Scary-Go-Round (http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=519)
and
Marten and Faye in Scary-Go-Round (plus Pintsize image in background) (http://www.scarygoround.com/?date=20051222)
SGR then followed up with a brilliant send-up of QC's conversational style:
"Shut up shut up shut up" (x6) (http://www.scarygoround.com/?date=20060102)
-
It's weird, but while Shelly, Amy, Ryan, Tim, and etc all look pretty normal in Allison's old photoshop style, Marten and Faye look unbearably creepy.

Actually, you're right-- I looked around on the archive for a while and found this one:
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=171
Which has a guest appearance from Lil' Sis and Clango Cyclotron of Diesel Sweeties.
-
I read both Something Positive and QC but never made the connection. (But I was reading them at different speeds.) They're all really cool.
Here's the QC page (http://crossovers.dragoneers.com/Questionable.html) of a site where someone slightly too fond of exclamation marks records every cameo and crossover in webcomics. Gotta catch 'em all!
Something Positive (http://www.somethingpositive.net/sp03032007.shtml): look at the book Aubrey is reading.
-
Doug: Wow, thanks!
I had no idea that there were so many cross-references.

This is the one I was thinking of.
-
did anyone notice jeph appearing in http://www.overcompensating.com (http://www.overcompensating.com) today??? He gets drawn there every once and awhile.
-
I thought it was great. I love that Randall Munroe from xkcd is a stick man. I mean, of course he is.

You'll also notice a reference to "Order of the Stick" on one sign. Go one comic back and you'll find references to: Waspi Square, Dominic Deegan, Gunnerkrigg Court, Something Positive, and several others...

Winslow finds true love in AppleGeeksLite:
http://www.applegeeks.com/lite/index.php?aglitecomic=2007-02-21
-
It's good to see Winslow getting some recognition out there, but I'm definitely missing something about that comic. What's the deal with the girl's shirt (is that a weird stain or something?), and what does it have to do with why she and Winslow are in love?
-
That's not a shirt. That's a chassis. She's a robot made from a mac (G5, I believe).
-
She was in a QC comic as well, I think. I can't find it right now, though.
-
Ah, now it all makes sense. Thanks!

I think there was a Shortpacked where the characters visited Coffee of Doom, but damned if I can find it on the site... Willis needs to do something about his archives over there. :-P
EDIT: Took a while, but I found it.... http://www.shortpacked.com/d/20060202.html
-
The Marten in the background of that is brilliant!
Paul
-
And Dora's wearing her dickfish shirt!
-
I don't read Shortpacked!, so at first I thought the main characters were supposed to be Faye and Marten. They do look rather Faye-ish and Marten-ish. (Coincidence?) But then in the wider shot we see the "real" Faye and Marten, and Dora behind the counter. Pretty cool.

Not an appearance, per se, but certainly a reference.

Bad-ass drawing of Pizza Girl from Hawk over at AppleGeeks.

-
That is one heck of a Pizza Girl picture!
-
Truly! It's hard to tell whether she's going to deliver that baby to a dozen starving homeless people, or take out a dozen bad guys with it.
-
While I checked and couldn't find any other references to this on the board, I thought I'd share this, since it's related to the thread here:

In today's podcast of the Devils Panties, Jennie was wearing a QC-shirt (http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=4-HjA6k0IpU).
