Title: Book the Third?
Post by: drmike on 10 Oct 2012, 20:13: Greets:

I'm sorry to trouble folks about this but a quick scan of the forums show no discussion on this topic. Been sitting here planning the Christmas budget and just was wondering if there's any plans for a third volume. I;d have to check my dates but seems like we had them for the last two years for the holiday season. At least that's when I picked them up. (ie when I had money)

thanks
-drmike

edit: I do see the wiki article but it gives a date of September 2012: http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Questionable_Content_Volume_3

How’s QC volume 3 coming? When do you expect to release it, and will you be signing copies?

It should be on sale sometime this month, and I believe I will be doing another run of signed copies, assuming I can work up the gumption.

Post by: drmike on 14 Oct 2012, 14:41: Thank you for the responses. I;m sure autographed will be out of my price range though.

So where's the threads that I messed it in? :)

thanks again

Post by: jwhouk on 14 Oct 2012, 17:26: No we aren't. Just because the third through fifth hits on my screen name in Google are "Questionable Content" related doesn't mean I'm OBSESSED.

BUT

not yet signed copies - keep watching for when they go on sale ("early November")
Title: Re: Book the Third?
Post by: drmike on 17 Oct 2012, 17:30: Just saw it too. Was coming by to give a link to it just in case no one else has.

Of course I can;t get mine until December or January but still nice to see it;s available.

thanks.

edit: Oh, didn;t know that they did the Tom Tomorrow (http://www.topatoco.com/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Store_Code=TO&Category_Code=TMW) stuff....

A little over a year (13 months).

And guess what just got updated in the Wiki. (http://questionablecontent.wikia.com/wiki/Questionable_Content_Volume_3)

EDIT: I just figured something out. At the pace he's going, today's strips will probably be in dead tree format sometime in 2017.
Title: Re: Book the Third?
Post by: jwhouk on 29 Oct 2012, 13:47: Dead Tree Edition 3 just arrived via the mail today (whew! Managed to avoid getting a Hurricane-soaked special edition!).

Kinda bare-bones compared to the last two, but pretty neat overall.
Title: Re: Book the Third?
Post by: pwhodges on 29 Oct 2012, 14:01: Bare bones? You mean in that the story was uneventful, or less commentary?
Title: Re: Book the Third?
Post by: jwhouk on 29 Oct 2012, 14:30: Not a lot of excess commentary, and not as much in the way of sketches (at least, not as much as we get now for current characters).

Then again, not as much really happened in 600-899 as in the first two segments of the strip, so...
Title: Re: Book the Third?
Post by: pwhodges on 19 Nov 2012, 01:32: Signed copies of book 3 are now available to order. Strictly limited number (500) because of hand (!) - 40% of them had gone when I saw it this morning, so clearly they won't last long!
Title: Re: Book the Third?
Post by: celticgeek on 19 Nov 2012, 07:28: I ordered mine last night.

Going to be January for me the way the budget is. Is planned though.

Post by: pwhodges on 14 Dec 2012, 04:47: My signed copy arrived yesterday - I have a head and shoulders sketch of Hanners this time (to go with Marten in book 1 and Winslow in book 2).
