Kind of a hard forty-one.

Also, this comic makes me feel quite old.

However, that should not make you feel out of place!

Dodo/Lurker · « **Reply #202 on:** 23 Jun 2011, 10:46 »

I've noticed that more than a few people have been comparing Jim to Marten, but truth be told, I see him as an older, wiser Steve. I doubt that an older Marten would be that confident even with a successful business under his belt.

Safe to say,

Jeph is a damn good author, to illicit so many responses.
Welcome to Questionable Content, grimeyville. May I take your coat?

I reduced the size of 'Twitter' for politeness sake. Please do not be offended.

i read in some of the 16xx strips today and there was the comic where Faye sold the second coffeesaurus to that art collector. It was said it would take 6 weeks to finish the second one.
http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1645

it took about 150 strip from there to the breakup and another 150 until raven timeported the 2nd coffeesaurus (i think it is the second, this was the second apperance of that neat piece of tech).

Maybe this could used as a timescale. If it was mentioned before... sorry

It dissapoints me though. I used to really like these characters the way they were.

Had a similar reaction the other week, flipping through my Graduation yearbook. It's surprising how quick people can change.
I figured someone would say this. I suppose it isn't unreasonable, but I don't accept it as a natural change.

As I said repeatedly, it serves a purpose within the story, so... I'll accept it. Just about.

Bear in mind that the story so far of QC is only supposed to have lasted for about three years, I'd say.

Jim continues to be wonderful.

Recently caught up with someone I hadn't seen since those days. Our resident firebrand Anarchist proudly told me about how he'd just finished his courses and had become a military lawyer.
What's "Natural change"?

(Hi everyone, I'm sort of new. I've been reading these forums for ages but this is my first post)

Jim says "You could be THIRTY...." as though that's his lower limit on acceptable age gaps but surely Dora can't be much more than about 28-29? I know she's older than Faye and Marten although a year younger than Sven.

26 or 27 I think. It's a bit hard to be sure since there weren't much birthday strips (I think Hanners had one).

If the strip was meant to cover a 3 years time period, where are we now?

NotAwesomeAnymore · « **Reply #209 on:** 23 Jun 2011, 12:43 »

Well, just after they meet, Jim guesses she's 25 or 26 and we know she's slightly older. In today's comic I took it as "You could be AS OLD as thirty and I'd still find you attractive" so we know she's younger than that.

Given that it appears to be about this time of year (late June) in the comic, it wouldn't be too strange for it to be significantly light out at 6 PM at night.

By the way - is that another "near cameo" of Sweetits there in the background of panel 3?

No, no, thirty is his upper limit (he's a LITTLE bit of a dirty old man).

Maybe; my question is, what the hell is in the window of the shop they're passing in panel 3? In panel 1 it looks like maybe a clothing rack, but I can't make head nor tail of panel 3's shop.

A clarification on the poll:

Tai, Dora, Marten, Faye, Bailey and one other random gal from Tai's dorm.

From the newspost under the guest comic, it appears that this story arc will take a couple of weeks to work through, so we may not know where it's really going for a few strips yet.

The same reasoning she used for CoD employment, but with a different goal in mind (getting over the fear of sex).
