Hah, yeah the feeling of reading all of QC for the first time is awesome. Just wait until you read it the fifth or sixth time. ;)

Really, the waits aren't that bad since it's updated everyday. :D

Je... I'm actually rereading it twice right now. It's a good way to keep things fresh and also killing the time while the new ones are getting prepared.

You, know, people, there are other webcomics.

If you're looking for something that stands up well to multiple readings, I recomend http://anderslovesmaria.reneengstrom.com/ (http://anderslovesmaria.reneengstrom.com/). Actually Anders <3 Maria doesn't actually make sense until you've read it a couple of times, but the art is good, and the characters are well developed, with backstories and everything.





also,

WHY ARE WE SHOUTING?!?!?!?!

I think I tried reading this because the later comics looked really cool, then when I went to the start of the archives it was boring for ~200 strips so I stopped reading.

Wont lie ive tried to read other webcomics but none hold my interest like QC. Pennyarcade is the only one that got close. I read QC in about 3day crack session and definitely loved the change in his art and style. Have to say though its his humor and character development that has me completely hooked.

it took me 2 weeks of reading, while going to work, and hanging out with friends (i'm surprised i actually have a life this summer ^_^)

i've gotten a couple of people hooked on it, i know, and i LOVE. QC will now go on my list of dailies to read. maybe i'll reread it eventually, but i think that all of my fb friends will be relieved that they will no longer see links to various QC episodes come up on their newsfeeds. XD teehee.

yes. i enjoyed these past couple of weeks. it has been marvelous. i told myself that i would not visit the forums until i was completely finished, simply to avoid spoilers. i am now satisfied that i can intelligently speak about the comic, and the lives of the characters.

well, i have now lost my QC forum virginity, so i'm off to make futile attempts at conversation with all you strangers, whom i hope i will eventualy get to know, at least a little bit!  :-D

The evolution of the art was really cool to watch but I can't remember the last time I was so sucked in by a story and a bunch of fictional characters.

Rene Engström phrases it best describing his own comic Anders Loves Maria (http://anderslovesmaria.reneengstrom.com/):
Quote from: Rene Engström
It is a story about “adulthood” in a modern age where coming-of-age seems to be completely arbitrary.

But it's just as applicable to Questionable Content. We all have the same problems and arbitrariness as Jeph Jacques' characters, but, in most cases, his characters come up with more interesting solutions, or get away with things we wish we could. We all have our hobbies and interests and passions, yet many of us still feel like we lack direction. Jeph has managed to create a whole cast and storyline that not only can we laugh with and at, but we can also empathize with. And rereading the archives gives us hope that if his characters can solve their problems, then maybe we can too ... maybe ...

I'm sure most of us follow a couple dozen webcomics on a daily basis, but I've found very few with the emotional content of Questionable Content ...

I have read a lot of web comic's but the only one's i fallow and have reread are
 Licd read 5 time's through 7 year's i think
 qc 7 times through
 Something positive 4 times through 8 year's going
 Xkcd 1 time through
 Cad  4 time's through
 lfg  5 times through
 And nothing nice to say. I read it about 3 time's though it's closed. I actually have read all his comic's mutable time's.

I think I tried reading this because the later comics looked really cool, then when I went to the start of the archives it was boring for ~200 strips so I stopped reading.

I did something similar.  It was linked from XKCD, and the "current" strip made no sense, so I went back to the beginning.  I was so turned off by the artwork and indie music references, I quit after a dozen strips. 

I went back a couple of months later, not realizing I'd been there before... and it was Hanners, sledding.  I went backwards to see what led to that - then another strip,  and another...

Before I knew it, I'd gone through about 600 strips in reverse order.  There's nothing weirder than watching a story... well, not unfold... defold?  Refold?  Watching characters be un-troduced, finding the origins of punchlines...

Then I came to me senses and started at the beginning.  This time, it was worth it, and since I knew where they were heading, watching the art change was now fun instead of painful. 

And how come no one's mentioned Octopus Pie?

I found the site through a link in Mordant Orange last wednesday (2 days ago) I I just finished reading all the stuff. Now I need to detox, it's a good thing I have to wait till monday :p
Happened the same with Something Positive, and CAD, and I almost did the same thing with Penny Arcade, but that's too much. Maybe someday...
Well, I think I'll be reading you guys often. Bye now.

Post by: sarcasticsmoothie on 13 Sep 2009, 14:28
I still remember when I read the whole story...nothing but QC for five days or so :) . I don't think it would take me as long to read the whole thing now (ignoring the fact that there are more strips), because I find myself reading comics faster now.

I also speed-read the archives of xkcd, Diesel Sweeties, pictures for sad children, CAD, and I started Anders Loves Maria the other day.

Failed archives (started but never finished): Pantheon, Dinosaur Comics, and Penny Arcade.

Anyways, I think i found out about the site about 2 years ago on one of my myspace friends page.. she had one of those quizzes and it was "Which questionable content character are you?" so i was like "What is this questionable content?" and decided to check it out. I spent about 5 hours a day for a week doing nothing but reading through it. I was so disappointed when i reached the end  :cry: ... I miss having new ones to read every single day for hours at a time.... good times. :laugh:

BEST thing about the QC website (aside from these forums) (oh yeah, and the comic) is the RANDOM button.  Lets you relive those moments you'd nearly forgotten from the last time you reread the whole thing.  When I need a fix over the wekend, it provides several hours(!?!) of entertainment, and provides much the same feeling as the first time I plowed through the archives! 

As for rereading the whole thing in 3 hours, that's not reading...After all, you already know what's going on!  It's skimming, at best!

The funny part was that I ended up finding the comic due to stumbleupon. I ended up getting jumped randomly over to the comic at a random portion. I started reading some of it and ended up deciding I liked what I had seen so I went to the beginning and started reading. The comic was fairly enjoyable and nicely readable.

How did what end up? If you mean what I read it involved Steve hoping that his ex got 'dolphin syphilus' and then the vespavenger. I was rather confused, so I started from the beginning figuring that might help. I liked the comic, and figured I'd join the forum to comment if I saw a particularly interesting one or anything in that area.

I started reading this comic in about 2005 as a bet that I could finish reading the entire archive of comics first before another co-worker could. Then one thing lead to another and I found myself checking it everyday at work. It was my "OMG I NEED A LAUGH NOW BEFORE I VERBALLY RIP SOMEONE A NEW ONE!!!!! ( tech support is not a very positive job all the time, who would have thought.). Then I went on Mat leave and found myself still checking for a comic everyday, and here we are in 2009 and for some reason I am still sadly always checking.
