Well, i got directed here 2 days ago (on April Fools Day, haha XKCD) and thought that the days comic looked good. So i made the decision to go back to the very beginning and give this comic a read. That was, quite honestly, one of the BIGGEST mistakes i have EVER made in my life. seriously.
It took me two evenings to read the ENTIRE archive. I'm serious, i read all of them. And now, i'm depressed. Because i have to wait daily for my bloody fix. I want the entire cartoon finished NOW. it's too excellent for me to wait, i wanna know what happens to everybody now, because since April 1st i have spent 8 solid hours hooked on this amazing comic. i love the storyline, i love the characters, and, more recently, have come to love the most excellently developed graphics. Seriously Jeph should publish or something, because i have read MUCH worse comics, and there isn't one modern comic I have read and liked more. Thankyou for reading my little information spike.
Props to Jeph for making this amazing cartoon. If he ever tries to stop i will fly to America to make him change his mind :wink:

I know *exactly* what you mean.
I did it, maybe, 3 days ago? I got really annoyed when I noticed it was copyrighted to 2008, because that meant I was running out.
-
yer, it made me feel so sad watching the copyright go slowly upwards. Thing is, when i was finished, i forgot that the drawing style had changed, i was that immersed. I only noticed it when i went back and thought 'that wasn't what i saw!'

The drawing style in all webcomics seems to get better and better. I mean, Marten was barely human in #1. But now, they look professional.
Penny arcade is the worst. They all had squareheads when they started.
-
Glor, i love your quote btw, that' is my favourite quote in any of the comics so far, because it just made my mind shout 'HAHAHAH OWNED!!!!'
-
Made your mind shout?
Made my face shout :lol:
Which in turn made my family shout. :-(
-
Lol, well in was in school, so thems finding out i was reading slightly rude comics in the vicinity of 11 year olds, while i'm meant to be doing work, wasn't the best thing for me to do. But i still LOLed at home. It really is an amazing cartoon, sooo entertaining.
And as so many people have said on these forums, the art has gotten soooo much better. i onyl wish i had the time/money/skill to draw like that.
-
Yeah, we'll have to leave it to Jeph to draw for us.
And us noobies have gotta stick together. If these are anything like the WoW forums, we could be in trouble here, kid.
-
never been on the WoW forums, i don't play, but i know whatn you mean... the allosauruses pick out the newbies and eat them :-D
i am gonna be so upset this weekend, it'll be the first time i've not gotten to read a new strip every day.
-
Just make up for it with tequila. Then you get your own comic strip, and you even get one of Jeph's characters!
-
I was bored over christmas break and my bf gave me the link. i got addicted. i think i finished it in a week or so. but everytime moment i had some free time i was reading. now i cant wait every day for the new comic.
it is great.
-
Woo! 3 People in one thread.
Hot.
Tomorrow's Comic: Hanners! Just 4 panels of her wandering about. 'Cause she rocks.
-
HAY GAIS WATS GOING ON IN THIS THREAD
-
We were being forums noobs together.
You sound like a lolcat.
-
So what is this thread? Question Content Anonymous?
-
Its basically just:
"OMG JEPH U R PRO!"
And then whatever else you wanna say.
-
Yep yep.
Tomorrow's Comic: Hanners! Just 4 panels of her wandering about. 'Cause she rocks.
I agree. Although I'm still curious about the robot in her closet.
-
Ah, I though it was like
"Hi, my name is Steven, and I've been reading QC all day for 2 days, and I when I hit the end of the updates I was in such withdrawl.. I... I... Read the whole comic over agian"
*Gasps*
*Some random guy* "I feel your pain"
-
Haha, that about fits.
The first step is admitting you have a problem.
-
The second step is

-
Also we all have to admit are strange attraction to Hanners.
-
Its not strange! Shes hot!
-
How about rewriting the actual 12-step jargon and replacing things with Hannelore, or QC?
1) We admitted we were powerless over alcohol Hanners--that our lives had become unmanageable.
-
@ Glor I didnt get that, due to I dont find the cartoon characters hot.
But something about her switchs off something in your brain and says "Hug her!" Strangly I get the same feeling when I see a cute puppy.
-
Zoophile.
But its not many cartoon characters that are hot. 'Tis a rare thing.
-
I don't find cartoon characters hot, but you can't say Hanners isn't incredibly cute.
-
Hanners > Dora=Faye
-
Winslow>Pintsize as well, in my opinion. Sadly, I think Pintsize is negatively influencing him. Poor little Winslow.
-
You're all crazy. Faye is way hotter than Hanners.
-
I don't think any of them are hot. I'm a girl, and straight (I don't hate anyone who's not, though.)
But in awesomeness, I think Hanners far surpasses Faye.
-
Nooooo. Faye *is* attractive, but shes like, a level down off Hanners. And to be fair, Faye's issues are probably more extreme :-)
-

Now you're just being silly. Unless you think stick figures are attractive, you pervert.
-
Hanners isn't exactly anorexic, she's just skinny. I don't think saying she's attractive is perverted.

Ranking Hanners above Faye in attractiveness makes you a pervert. (http://i86.photobucket.com/albums/k85/Rocketdude1987/Emotes/emot-colbert.gif)
-
But....but.....
Hannelore!
-
I think you are all perverts.
-
IF they were real people, then I could see it - but no, there's really nothing attractive about the way a cartoon looks. None of them.

One thing I don't get.... why is it acceptable to display any emotion regarding cartoons, including anger at poor choices characters make, happiness when good things happen to them, enjoyment from reading their story, revulsion at a character drawn 'ugly' or 'dirty', or even using gender-specific words like "he" and "she" to describe collections of ink and paint, but as soon as the emotion expressed is attraction, people come out of the woodwork to piss and moan about it?
-
The same reasons that people have emotional reactions to any piece of fiction, whether it be written, acted, or drawn.
It's called "willing suspension of disbelief" and it's part of what makes us human.
-
Penelope is the best character.
THREAD OVER.
-
I'm re-reading them all too! Currently at number 555, and considering whether I should actually start coursework now, or continue with the remaining 500-odd strips...
-
I think you are all perverts.

OMG I DON'T GET IT LOL

Penny arcade is the worst. They all had squareheads when they started.
I know a certain Tyrannosaurus Rex who would beg to differ.

Seriously. People say CAD's art is stagnant, but in the same amount of time it's been around, Penny Arcade has barely changed.
-
I like Hannelore the best, and it took me about a week to go through the entire archive but that was because I had to split it up between other stuff. But it was a good bit of reading none the less, I actually tried to use as a book report because I was lazy and didn't want to go to the library.
-
Wow, I would have never thought that there are more sick people like me out there ^^
I too read the whole comic (in 3 days) after discovering it wiith the 1st april fool from xkcd :)
(and i wanted to create a topic about it too, but you beat me to it ^^ )
Any other comics you guys can recommend?
I've read userfriendly,cad,pa,megatokyo,sinfest,xkcd and some others i cant remember now
sry for not registering but iam lazy ^^

I heartily recommend Girl Genius (http://www.girlgeniusonline.com/).
And Giant in the Playground's (http://www.giantip.com) various comics.
And Scary Go Round[url].
And others, but I don't feel like posting all of the several dozen comics I read. (http://www.scarygoround.com/)
-
We are quite definitely sicker than you.
Hanners!
-
I agree, on April 1st I started reading this comic and now I can't stop. I stayed up well into the night reading it and finished it in three days, after ignoring many of my own basic needs.
I estimated that there would have to be about 400 comics a day to satisfy my craving.
-
Yeah, I ran into QC on april first through XKCD. I read everything in a single day and now I'm suffering from withdrawal :(
-
I fully understand your angst, i discovered QC during the xmas break and speedread it in three frantic day, just to discover the withdrawal sympthoms of just one comic a day ...
The brigthside is that I have no problem of getting to work in time nowadays (as I can't read it from home) .... 8-)
-
I'm another three-day initiate, except I started reading back in January and hooked three others on it...
does any other webcomic spark this kind of instant addiction? I don't read any other comics at all and never have, but I'm like the fifth person to say they started QC and tore through the archives in a matter of days ...
-
you guys are all amateurs. i read the whole thing up to the original faye-sven incident in about 10 hours.
also Hannelore rules.
-
I like Hannelore the best.
um... thank you... now I don't know what to say.
SPOILER: This person is a liar.
-
Nooooo. Faye *is* attractive, but shes like, a level down off Hanners.
Now you're just being silly. Unless you think stick figures are attractive, you pervert.
And if you do, get the hell over to xkcd!
-
Orginal art for Hannelore mad her hotter than Faye by far. Current art is kind of negative. They both rock though.
I too took the 3 day plung and became addicted to this comic. I basically stay up tell midnight every night simply to catch the latest panel of this, and Cyanide & Happiness.
