I stopped reading in 2008 due to some serious problems in my life. I've decided about an hour ago to try to catch up in one shot. Currently on number 1182. Wish me luck, please.

Cabinet doors are fucking merciless...

Might wanna grab some tissues around 1790 or so. You won't see it coming.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #3 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 05:40 »

Every time I click NEXT, I have a super-tiny anxiety attack.

I just realized how annoying it is going to be if I put everything in here, so if any of you are actually interested in my vague thoughts and references, I'm going to stop posting everything here and bring it to ~~https://twitter.com/DickNomms~~

Edit: Twitter account died after I got a little too friendly with Neil Gaiman.

And some "I hate myself and want to die" music. I recommend Celine Dion, maybe some Meatloaf.

Oh god, you've triggered a flood of potential scenarios in my head and they're all making me cry... Gloomy Sunday performed by Sinead O'Connor is up and ready...

jwhouk · « **Reply #6 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 06:07 »

Do read Marigold's fanfic first, if you want to smile after you hit the 1790's.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #7 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 06:09 »

I don't know what that is

akronnick · « **Reply #8 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 06:21 »

You know it's probably not quite as traumatic if you read threw the archives.

Remember, that story, when it was first shown, came out over a two to three week period, and the final resolution wasn't for a couple of months. If you read the whole thing in a couple of hours, it's probably not as bad.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #9 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 06:41 »

I might have some minor sleep madness, because I swear that Faye turned into a pile of ice cream in panel three of 1258

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #10 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 07:22 »

Going through the holidays so quickly is messing up my beat...

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #11 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 08:18 »

on 1353 and stopping for now. I think I may have been wrong about how easy this would be...

jwhouk · « **Reply #12 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 08:47 »

I'd give you the cheat sheet, but you'd miss out on a lot of LOL's.

Not that you'd be able to figure out where the cheat sheet is located, of course....

Hint: look in the signature line.

Marigold's fanfic.

Faye turning into ice cream? Like they say, you are what you eat.

Random Al Yousir · « **Reply #14 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 10:49 »

Wonder what it will taste like? Anything but vanilla, I bet.

jwhouk · « **Reply #15 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 10:53 »

Hold up, he hasn't even gotten to Marigold's introduction arc yet. Suffice to say that the Chibi Kawaii AnthroPC will be factoring into things in short order, and Faye is going to get over Sven.

Something with nuts.

Just sayin'...

(pugnacious) Peach Sorbet, with pecans.

Tova · « **Reply #18 on:** 14 Sep 2011, 17:19 »

Rocky road.

Also, for me it didn't really hit home until six comics later, which made me laugh and cry at the same time.

add a dash of bourbon to the mix (but be careful that Mom won't catch you)

DSL · « **Reply #20 on:** 15 Sep 2011, 01:25 »

A loooooooooong dash. Hello, Mr. Floor. Fancy meeting you down here.

jwhouk · « **Reply #21 on:** 15 Sep 2011, 06:38 »

Waiting to see what he thinks of Marigold.

pendrake · « **Reply #22 on:** 19 Sep 2011, 00:54 »

1. I do not know how I would handle missing out on QC for that long. I missed the whole "Momo's New Chassis" story-arc (since #1999) and was shocked at how much I missed.

2. I would fear getting into an accident and falling into a coma. Only to wake a year or more later and find that Marten has moved back to California, Hannelore not only has a boyfriend but is also General Manager of Coffee of Doom II (also in California...), Steve is now engaged to Padma, Dora & Tai & Marigold are all in separate bi-sexual relationships, Pintsize has a human-like chassis and a (biological) human boyfriend, and Pizza Girl's secret & full identity has been revealed.

3. Oh, and that Shelby smothered Jeph to death at some point and QC was discontinued after #3050 despite fans' efforts to keep Questionable Content alive.

jwhouk · « **Reply #23 on:** 19 Sep 2011, 01:39 »

I'm just wondering what he's gonna do when he hits the 1790's.

Carl-E · « **Reply #24 on:** 19 Sep 2011, 23:28 »

At the speed he's going, it'll probably hit like a ton o' bricks. I know other webcomics I've done catch-up trawls with have done that to me.

jwhouk · « **Reply #25 on:** 20 Sep 2011, 06:13 »

Well, what happened hit us all like a ton of bricks.

Carl-E · « **Reply #26 on:** 20 Sep 2011, 06:41 »

And that was in slow-motion, we had time to watch it unfold. I imagine reading it for the first time in an archive binge will be even more wrenching!

So, a metric ton of bricks.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #27 on:** 20 Sep 2011, 14:15 »

Oh my...

jwhouk · « **Reply #28 on:** 20 Sep 2011, 14:22 »

Looks like he got there.

And "Oh my" is an understatement. That week's WCDT was 36 pages of pure vitriol.

pwhodges · « **Reply #29 on:** 20 Sep 2011, 15:11 »

Never again!

jwhouk · « **Reply #30 on:** 21 Sep 2011, 06:00 »

Well, he could have added, "Wow."

Or, "I'm shocked." Or "I'm speechless."

pendrake · « **Reply #31 on:** 21 Sep 2011, 12:31 »

1. @pwhodges... Never again... until the next time...

2. It will be interesting to see how Mister D Nomms' likes The Secret Bakery & its cast (especially after Padma art-style v2.0 around comic #1922).

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #32 on:** 15 Dec 2011, 15:32 »

Hello. I've been in a hospital.

Marten and Dora are fighting. I'm scared.

Is it cold in here? · « **Reply #33 on:** 15 Dec 2011, 17:35 »

May you have a complete recovery!

Kugai · « **Reply #34 on:** 15 Dec 2011, 18:22 »

Ditto.

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #35 on:** 15 Dec 2011, 22:47 »

I'm... up to date... I don't know what to do now. I'm pretty sure the neighbors heard me yelling each time I clicked the last ten comics. If anybody has questions, leave them here and I'll answer them when I vacate the Fuck from my head.

Carl-E · « **Reply #36 on:** 15 Dec 2011, 23:36 »

Take a deep breath...

...and welcome to the forums, where the rest of us while away the hours waiting for the next update.

And don't forget, you can always go back through the archives for some good laughs and occasional angst.

Kugai · « **Reply #37 on:** 16 Dec 2011, 00:00 »

And remember;

No matter where you go

There you are.

Soulsynger · « **Reply #38 on:** 16 Dec 2011, 00:42 »

Congratulations, welcome to the Warpees.

The last time I read a bunch of the comics like that I wasn't able to think creatively for a week. oO

Mister D Nomms · « **Reply #39 on:** 16 Dec 2011, 02:34 »

Somewhere along the line Jeph mentioned Rustie and now I can't stop listening to it. I think over-all it's been a full night...
