As far as extant strips go, Get Fuzzy, hands down.
Oh, thank god.
Bloom County?
But of course.
what phpbb style is this? did you program it yourself? I really like it and was wanting to use a similar style on my site, except with completely different colors.
It's a heavily-customized version of SubSilver.
All I'm wondering is: what happened to the green Coffee of Doom aprons?
I didn't feel like drawing aprons over and over again, so I relaxed the dress code.
What's happening with IndieTits?
Is it just having a break at the moment and you'll start updating it again sometime?
And the IndieTits discussion forum seems to have vanished.
It'll be back sooner or later. Nobody was really discussin' it!
Is Marten gonna get another guitar? The Fender Telecaster is a fine axe, fo sho, but there is a lot to be said for the tonal differences in other guitar makes and models.
We'll see.
ever had any merchandise ideas for something else besides clothes and posters?
i predict someday a little toy pintsize will be in every household in america.
If I can find a reliable way to ship mugs without breakage, we'll do mugs. I have other plans as well.
Jeph,
Aside from buying stuff in the QC store, or just, you know, sending you money in a box, how might a habitual reader support the comic and your efforts making it?
Tell other people about it! Word of mouth is the best way to support me short of giving me money.
If Steve and Marten were to fight to the death, who would win? And, if the winner of this battle were to fight the winner of a Dora v Raven matchup, who would the ultimate survivor be?
Marten vs. Steve would quickly devolve into a sissy slapfight. Dora would destroy either one.
What, if any distortion/overdrive/boost pedals do you use in your music making?
None. S'all crafty digital modeling in GarageBand at the moment.
My search-fu is weak, so if this question has been answered, I totally authorize Jeph to smack me upside the head. Virtually, of course.
If Pintsize's chassis is so unique (it had a laser in it, for cryin' out loud), then why is it that every other AnthroPC has the same body, except recolored? (Winslow excluded, of course.)
It was a standard chassis with custom, secret components.
Just thought of a good one.
What do the characters' voices sound like in your head as you do the comic?
The only character I have a definitive voice for is Dora. She'd sound like Jane from Daria, or the butch chick from Final Fantasy X-2.
Hella Hella Hella Hella Hella Hella.
Hella Hella?
Oh hell of, yes.
Hi, Im farely new to this forum thingfor Qc, and as the number of questions in this "discussion" is a little TO high for me look trough I'm just going to ask you this:
What is the age of the cast in qc? They seem quite young, but at times are very mature. Also, as a fellow artist in the drawing media, what facial part do you hate the most to draw? (and do you have any advice conserning noses, hate 'em!)
Faye/Steve/Marten are about 24-25. Dora is a year or two older, Sven is a year or two older still. Raven is younger than F/S/M, Ellen and Nat are younger than Raven. I dunno how old Hannelore is yet.
I don't like drawing foreheads. They're subtly difficult. The trick with noses is to imply the shape of the nose instead of trying to render all of it exactly. That's how anime gets away with little tiny dot-noses.
Hey, Jeph, I was looking at the comic where Faye and her mom are talking in the living room a few days ago, and noticed the portrait of younger Faye and Amanda hanging there. Faye looks to be in her mid-teens, and Amanda looks very young--she's much shorter than Faye, and has the face of a 12 year old. But both of them have pretty substantial breasts. How old is Amanda supposed to be in that photo? It's somewhat disturbing...
Obviously Amanda is a demon.
Jeph,
You noted a style of art on Jephdraw that you said you might use for a sideproject. Did you have a particular one in mind, or were you just commenting on it. Also, if you did start a sideproject, what would it be about?
Also, have you ever considered a forum gathering, or would that be too crazy?
Any future projects I have in mind must remain secret. I tend to meet forum folks at conventions.
Okay, first post, go easy on me:
Please, pleasepleasepleaseplEEEAASSE update Indie Tits! Granted, I don't follow the Indie music scene, but even when the dialogue is all about references to bands I've never heard of, and probably will never listen to, it's still funny on some level and I must have it! I am hopelessly addicted to the dialogue balloons over the same four bird images update after update! And before I get flamed for being a smartass, I am NOT being sarcastic. Most of this shit is pretty damn funny even to someone who is not into indie music. I wouldn't even read QC otherwise
IT will be back sooner or later.
Might as well ask since I've wondered since the comic in question was made. In 402, Pintsize says he has a list of times when he hasn't been good. The one that interested me was number 472. Did you have something in mind for what happened to those preschoolers?
Yes, but it is too horrific to divulge.
Hey Jeph, I am a young artist who has recently started my own webcomic. I suppose my question is is QC related stuff your only source of income and did you go to college/university after graduating or jump into making the comic without formal training. Cheers, Marke`
QC has been my full time job since september of '04. I went to college but it was for music, not comics or illustration.
Hey Jeph, just noticed whilst reading through the archives that Dora's cat seems to have changed from a *he* to a *she*
Heres the comic links http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=397 (second panel dora's second line) and
http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=217 (Panel two Dora's fourth line)
So what happend? a Kitty sex change?
You never know, with cats.
Have you considered putting yourself in a QC strip as a cameo Hitchcock style?
Not really.
Jeph, do you have a drawing tablet recommendation for those of us who can't afford a 9x12 Wacom? What should be sacrificed - size, brand name, or condition (I'm thinking eBay, here)?
P.S. I love QC it's inspired me to keep pursuing art you rock blah blah. [generic complements here]
Buy a refurbished Graphire 6x8. Much cheaper and works just as well.
I have three really stupid questions:
1. Do you happen to sport an "indie" look?
2. Who are those people on the t-shirt ads?!? I simply must know the dog's name...
3. What do you think of your wiki article? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeph_Jacques)
1. I am way too huge and intimidating to ever pass for an indie kid.
2. Friends, people from the IRC channel, and folks who've emailed me pictures. The dog's name is Basil.
3. It's not bad.
I have a question. Which weighs more:
A pound of DONGLOL
or a pound of <DICK><
They weigh the same. Duh.
Hey Jeph in a strip a while ago you when Pintsize had to much RAM in his system you said that it was like 'licking a battery'. This sounds very similar to a line in Alan's Moore's comic watchman so I wondered have you read any of his books
Only From Hell so far. The art in Watchmen turns me off, unfortunately.
three questions;
1. What do you use to do your back grounds? I used MS Paint and it's terrible I never want to use those backgrounds again.
2. I know you're main focus other than the story in this strip is music, but if it was like completely illegal to write dialog about music, what would focus on instead?
3. You said you don't have time to do all the strips over again, but if you were to choose one of the older strips above all others to redo, which would it be?
1. Everything is Photoshop CS2.
2. Uh, jokes I guess?
3. The one where Marten and Steve meet Faye.
Yay, question time.
1) Are plans to put out Questionable Content for sale as a graphic novel going to be pursued? Because I know I'd certainly buy one.
2) What do you use to make your merchandise?
3) What do you think of the whole goth/goth-rock music shtuffs?
4) Do you like rainbows?
1) Soon as I have time, yes.
2) I have a good screenprinter based in Connecticut who does the actual shirts. The art is all done in Photoshop CS2.
3) Not really my cup of tea.
4) [insert Aqua Teen Hunger Force reference here]
I have a question: Does Dora still smoke? According to this comic, she did in high school, but I have never heard any mention of her quitting, nor have I ever seen her smoke
Nope. Smoking is bad for you.
And whatever it was that the guy was reading has been good and thoroughly ruined for him. Congratulations for killing literature guys. Good one. Jeph, has there ever been a photo of you on here showing your face and everything?
There are probably some on my LiveJournal.
