So, it's all guest week, so no actual story progression, so is there any need to have a WCDT?

Meh, might as well.

pwhodges · « **Reply #1 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 00:34 »

The weekly thread always happens; there will still be five strips to comment on, after all.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #2 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 00:42 »

I guess. It'll probably be more speculation on next week than discussion of this week, but such is the forum, I suppose.

Tova · « **Reply #3 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 01:14 »

Christopher Baldwin!

I am torn between the first two vote options. Both write fantastic comics of their own, and I would love to see both of their takes on QC, but in the end I had to go with Randall. Specifically I'd like to see a comic with Raven and the man with the hat. That seems like it could have endless comic possibilities.

slingstone · « **Reply #5 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 05:15 »

I guess there's not as much cross-pollination between here and Penny Arcade as I thought.

I guess I mostly want to see what Mike/Gabe's art would look like for the QC format.
Also, imagine the shitstorm if Mike drew a background character with a dickwolves shirt.

pwhodges · « **Reply #6 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 05:54 »

It would be easier if this poll allowed more than one vote; I would have added Gabe as well.

Border Reiver · « **Reply #7 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 06:49 »

Can we request one from Phil and Kaja Foglio?

The obvious stars of that strip should be Marigold and Faye....

DSL · « **Reply #8 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 08:18 »

Oh, man, the Foglios. Don't know if we could request one, but just thinking about the manic lushness of their art and writing (and Cheyenne's colors) applied to the QCverse has my head spinning. Betcha they'd set their contribution aboard Hannerdad's space station (named Castle Ellicott). The reappearance of espressosaurus would be the least weird thing that happens. Pintsize as a Jagermonster ...

jwhouk · « **Reply #9 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 10:28 »

...and we'd find out that Faye is the Other.

idontunderstand · « **Reply #10 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 10:31 »

Danielle Corsetto? Bit obvious I guess.

Skewbrow · « **Reply #11 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 11:03 »

Of the listed ones Randall Munroe was an easy pick for me, as I don't know the other two. Danielle Corsetto would be fine, too, but I would say likely (may be more than a bit obvious?) rather than unlikely. Any chance of Don Lee doing one? I realize that (political) cartoon is a different form of art, but his comments here are more or less guaranteed to make me LOL...

jwhouk · « **Reply #12 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 11:15 »

Danielle already tweeted that she was doing a guest strip (though she didn't say for which comic, of course).

DSL · « **Reply #13 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 13:16 »

Skewbrow's been peekin'.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #14 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 13:58 »

Calling the guest comics as from the following;
Sam and Fuzzy
Girls with slingshots
Hijinks ensue
Johnny wander
Something positive

Oh and if your ever a week without your computer, ipods are a fucking pain in the ass to use....

pwhodges · « **Reply #15 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 15:35 »

Wimp! I've used my iPod Touch (first, later an iPhone) to, for instance, reconfigure a faulty server while on holiday with my brother, repair my boss's email settings while waiting at a gate in Heathrow, and read QC standing in a street in Kandy in Sri Lanka.

TheEvilDog · « **Reply #16 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 16:26 »

I also suffered an electrical burn on friday from the laptop charger. Downside, no electrical powers and apparently burns hurt

. Plusside getting new laptop and i get to go out for drinks tomorrow night with a girl i met at the hospital. So in the nicest possible way i say, kiss my ass

Where's the Waffles??!

Tova · « **Reply #18 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 17:22 »

If we're going to have a guest week, then instead of the usual waffles, we ought instead to have oatmeal buttermilk pancakes.

SirDudley · « **Reply #19 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 18:11 »

You know who'd be an interesting surprise guest artist? Giz and Dave from Menage a 3/Eerie Cuties. I like their art style a lot and I think it'd go well with QC.

DSL · « **Reply #20 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 18:40 »

Mohamed Haque (aka Hawk) would be amazing, too. I think his guest art of Pene ... er, Pizza Girl is still somewhere on Jeph's Tumblr.

WAYF · « **Reply #21 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 19:43 »

I didn't pick Randall because... I don't know why. I would LOVE to see stickfigure renditions of QC characters

But I chose Bill Amend anyway, because Randall got him to do a guest strip for xkcd a while ago, so maybe he could do the same here.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #22 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 19:49 »

Bill Amend's xkcd is actually what made me think of him for this.

DSL · « **Reply #23 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 21:06 »

Well, now, that's an interesting opening to Guest Week. Hanners is learning a lot today.

Near Lurker · « **Reply #24 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 21:09 »

...most muffins have eggs in them...

Method of Madness · « **Reply #25 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 21:12 »

Not hard-boiled ones.

Modified: Also, odd thing to focus on, considering the last row.

Near Lurker · « **Reply #26 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 21:48 »

Yes, but if the reason he wants a muffin with an egg in it is to pretend he doesn't eat eggs, wouldn't getting a muffin be suspicious?

The rest of the jokes make sense! Pintsize putting a camera in the bathroom is just him being himself, and/or Chuck Berry.

Method of Madness · « **Reply #27 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 21:50 »

He could probably say it was a vegan muffin, I guess?

Tova · « **Reply #28 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 22:33 »

If he's talking about an egg muffin, I assume he means an English muffin; and no, I don't think they have eggs in them, they're yeasted.

I confess it took me a couple of seconds to twig to what was going on in the last strip.

Kugai · « **Reply #29 on:** 17 Jul 2011, 22:42 »

Interesting

Kind of the point of the conversation is that no, he's not asking for an English muffin as one might expect, but rather an actual muffin with an egg hidden in it.

Even without guest strips, there is plenty of Jeph-materiel to talk about...

[Jeph]: "Sketch-card for SDCC. Maripowergirl, Superhanners, Catdora, and Batpintsize."

1. Power Girl Marigold is awesome.

2. Catwoman Dora is so very, very appropriate.

3. Bat...mite(?) Pintsize?

4. While I 'get' that Supergirl Hanners is appropriate, as being "from space" as kryptonians are, I think Harley Quinn Hannelore might have been better, because "Hanners Quinn" is just so crazy...

5. What would the rest of the QC cast be...?

On 3: I put forward "Batsize"... and HannerQuinn.

As for the rest of the cast... sadly I'm not very good with comic book superheroes... I can't help but drift into cosplay ideas that aren't from comic books at all.

I keep coming back to the idea of Steve as He-man.

And Marten could probably pull off a fairly good mild-mannered Clark Kent...
Hmm...

... Clinton as the T-1000.

5. I vote for Steve as Gambit, Faye as Poison Ivy appeals to me (edit: on second thought Penelope might be better...), and Sven as Mr. Freeze. It's kind of hard coming up with superheros/villains for them :/

Keeping it in the DC side of comics, my choices would be, just based on looks and not in personality (so, more a cosplay or a fan-art thing than a proper fan-fiction):

Marten: Riddler
Faye: Darkseid (ok, this is more about personality than just appearance... but Darkseid wears hotpants, so...)
Tai: Robin
Raven: Zatanna
Angus, Sven, Steve... not sure about these...

Man, yeah. I was thinking of Sven as Mr. Freeze too, the animated-series one. Slim and tall. Then I started thinking of Arnold Schwarzennegger and all went to hell.

I thought he meant something more mundane when he said "No, not an egg mcmuffin" - that he specifically wanted a boiled egg, not a fried egg.

I realise that doesn't really make sense, but neither does hiding an egg inside a product that already contains egg.

Warning - while you were typing an entire new species has evolved. You may wish to review your post.

Gaaaaah. Give me a word in edgewise, people.

I almost died at that

Animated series all the way. My thoughts on that are he's not been the same since Faye broke him.
