I'm a librarian in South Carolina, originally from Arizona. I know this isn't a chat room, but are there any other librarians here?
I was never really into webcomics before, except for
Unshelved, a pretty good webcomic about working in a library. Lots of in-jokes, but really funny and true to life from my experience. Written by a librarian and drawn by a guy who can draw. Oh, and the occasional XKCD emailed by friends.
I discovered QC through
TVTropes - don't remember which trope. I can tell from lurking that there are LOTS of tropers here. I
thought I did a serious archive binge, starting with #1 sometime in december and "catching up" around Marten's mom's second visit - I see lots of people here say they had done in a day or three what took me a month, so I guess it wasn't much of a binge. But DAMN, catching up was like hitting a wall - I had gotten very spoiled knowing I could sit down and read QC for as long as I wanted without running out of story. I laughed, I cried (arc at #500), it was better than "Cats"... Needless to say, I love it, and I'm also glad that it got me to read other webcomics. I never knew what I was missing.
Being a librarian (and married to one, too), I loved it when Marten got a job at the Smif library. My wife is now the proud owner of the "she blinded me with library science" t-shirt - sadly, she doesn't have time to get sucked into the comic right now. of course neither do I.
Oh, and I've already annoyed a moderator. Glad to have gotten that rite of passage out of the way early - hope it doesn't happen again. I do mean well, but we all have our less-than-stellar moments, dont we?
