If I knew any mansluts or players, I might be friends with them. They intrigue me. All the ones I meet seem to be monogamous.

As for my favorite, that'd be Sven. I don't always agree with his actions (seriously, hiding behind other people to get out of a confrontation?), but otherwise he's an interesting guy.

I've yet to meet a straight manslut.

Good thing I wasn't planning on dating a manslut

I require way too much attention

Probably Hannelore. She has the most genuine personality of all the characters.

That's the only reason I didn't bring her up. She's competent, compassionate, perceptive, polite, and witty. How can you not like someone who invented the Worry Hat?

Sven. I'm gonna put it out there, and this is why:

1. He knows what he wants (unlike Faye)
2. He tries to get what he wants (unlike Marten)
3. He is honest with his feelings and intentions
4. He is emotionally secure (unlike Dora)
5. He is confident and likeable (unlike the other characters)

I know there is a lot of Faye love in these forums, but goddamn it she is annoying. She reminds me of the girl who calls up a guy to get him to drive her to a party so she can meet another guy. Basically using him for emotional support, while giving none in return. Also she is a cranky bitch to her customers, who basically just want a cup of coffee. How f*cking dare they try to buy coffee from a coffe shop employee! They should be ridiculed! (this is my least favourite part of the comic, her acting like a snob to customers, it's called common courtesy).

I was re-reading the archives recently and I just wanted Marten to HTFU and say to himself "well it's not gonna happen" and get over it, rather than following her arounf like a love sick puppy. And she let him. I don't like Marten, because he is a floater. He is happy just to float through life letting someone else run his life and make all of the decisions. Have some drive man! If you want to perform music, stop listening to Modest Mouse and pining about not performing music. Don't just float from dead end job to dead end job.

And Dora is emotionally and irrationally insecure. Other than that shes ok. But I would like her to call on Faye for being a bitch at work. I mean come on you are trying to run a business and you are letting a constantly cranky women abuse customers. Not cool.

Now the whole "Sven was wrong/right", not "Faye was wrong/right" thing has been done. IMO Sven acted like a douche, but had been honest that he would act like a douche (see point 3.) If he crawls back to her though, that would be totally lame.

Hanners is sweet but batshit crazy.

So who is your favourite QC character and why?

The new people seem to understand this comic better than anyone else.

Also, I take umbrage with Hanners because her OCD makes her endearing to the cast, whereas when a male character has OCD he's an object of both fear and derision How is this fair?

so knew that would happen.

I think Raven is pretty damn cool. Shes so ditzy and all that. But every now and then she says something that just makes you think the dumb thing is just a persona she uses to fool evertbody and really shes smarter then everybody haha.
Or she really is just clueless.
either way i like it.

JackFaerie · « **Reply #60 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 08:26 »

I love Sven. In addition to all the other stuff, he's charming and witty and laid back. He did use to be an asshole who used people without any compunction, but the key word here is "used."

Hanners was obviously reimagined shortly after her initial intro, meds or no meds. Not only was she sarcastically quippy and cool and suave when introduced, but she was savvy about relationships and such and called Marten on his bullshit, in a way that current-Hanners could not possibly be. Plus she had an entirely different sense of humor.

Albeit his actual character personality isn't really good for debate, but I laugh at least twice as hard at the comics that he is in.

She also managed to TASER Marten and had to admit she was a neighbor-stalker, things that do fit the current Hanners (Hanners 1.1? 2.0? 2.0b1?) I agree the alpha version (to us, I suppose) was a very different Hannelore, but it may be she doesn't do and say such things now because she keeps second-guessing herself. (I do that a fair bit, which is why, instead of edgy gems of scintillating wit, you get this sort of prose from me.) Cocaine may be a helluva drug, but psychotropics aren't slouches when it comes to altering behavior, either. Hanners may have been saying what she actually thinks at first, without her internal cacophony getting in the way.

nimnix · « **Reply #64 on:** 02 Mar 2009, 11:10 »

I thought Marten tasered himself by accident. As for calling people on their bullshit, I seem to remember her doing it fairly recently, with Faye. If only I had the archive skills to pull up the strip.

Maybe she just feels comfortable enough around them now to let them see all her quirks and insecurities, which basically means we see them now, and not just the calm facade she put on.

I'm gonna say Steve, I've always been intrigued by the "side-kick" characters, there's always more mystery to them and when we occasionally get to see what they're capable of it has more impact because they're used far less. Besides Steve is the most plausibly badass male character, can you imagine Marten or Sven being enlisted by a shadowy National Defence sect to kill Bond villains?

After Steve it has to be Pintsize, he's getting more and more unpleasant, it's wonderful.

Possibly not. But I can imagine Sven being enlisted to sleep with Bond girls (ala Casino Royale, 1967)

SleeperCylon · « **Reply #72 on:** 03 Mar 2009, 13:56 »

I'd say Marten is the most likable.

Though I like pretty much everyone. I'm not one to judge a person for their personal weaknesses as long as they're doing their best. Sven may be a little more honest with himself than the other characters, but he's about as unreliable a person as they come. He doesn't care about the effect he has on other people, and he sets people up to form an emotional connection to him when he knows he's going to hurt them later.

All you say about the other characters is correct, but it doesn't mean Sven is a guy I would even want to hang around.

Steve would be likable, only he puts up that macho front that refuses to admit he sees women as more as a means for sexual gratification.

I was gonna say Marten but reading the thread convinced me that the correct answer is, in fact, Winslow. Marten's inoffensive but Winslow seems like a real good guy.

Most of the characters are great characters, because they're the creations of a good writer. But most of them, I think, don't come across as people who would be particularly likeable IRL. It's not that you wouldn't like them if you met them IRL, thoug, it's just that we as readers know more about their faults than we know about the faults of our more casual friends. Our closer friends are different; we know a lot more about their faults and problems, but usually we become friends with someone before we know a lot about them (first impressions are important), and then when later we learn more about the negative parts of their personaliities, we aren't going to abandon them just because they aren't perfect.
