Argh, I know this has probably been asked a million times, but how do you pronounce your name? Is it a soft "j" or a hard "j"?

'jacks' as stated somewhere towards the beginning

No no, I mean the first name.

chapel · « **Reply #801 on:** 28 Dec 2007, 14:26 »

I think it's just Jeff... with a ph. also stated somewhere in the last 16 pages.

So my question is, what is the likelihood of a new, updated cast poster that includes the new additions like Penny, Meena, Tai and Hannelore's strangely poofy hair?

Also I guess, the likelihood of a QC book in the foreseeable future? Because I would buy that book so hard.

And additional, bonus question... Who would win in an all-out, drunken bar brawl; Marten's mum, or Hanners'? (u's in your "mum"s courtesy of the mystical faraway land of Australia) And I'm just assuming that if such a brawl were to occur, Mr. Bianchi would be there with popcorn and a smile.

New poster- absolutely.
Book- eventually.
Marten's mom, without question. Hanners is a creampuff.

Think Ponk meant between Marten's mum and Hanners' mum.

I'd still give the win to Veronica here. She put the fear into Faye, and kicks people's asses for a living, so I think she's not the kinda chica you want to cross, unless you're part of her clientelle and she's on the clock to kick your ass. Or at least step on it with stilettos.

What happened to the "transcribe this comic" link? I went looking for a comic (specifically, this one). It is apparently not yet done, and I was feeling rather altruistic at the time.

Instead I went looking through about a hundred comics for it

You've talked about wanting to make QC books. If you did, would you go back and redo some of the older strips in the newer art style?

Pretty sure this was asked somewhere in this thread before, nested with another question, and that the answer was no.

What the fuck are you talking about, Orbert? No one here is racist, not even the asians.

Orbert · « **Reply #815 on:** 07 Jan 2008, 10:17 »

Dr Montalban, out of the blue, asked "Why do you hate black people?" That's what the fuck I'm talking about.

By far and away, I hear that question the most from black people who are themselves racist. I've never seen anything that would imply that Jeph hates black people.

Jeph, what restaurant would you take your girlfriend/fiancee out to on your anniversary? Also whats your favorite restaurant?

blooflame · « **Reply #818 on:** 09 Jan 2008, 09:42 »

Hear me out.. I have the technical ability to do this, but am not sure if the technology totally exists in the podcasting world.

Anyway, I was looking at trying to reformat QC comics into something I could view on my Zune, your iPod, or maybe your Nintendo DS system, so I downloaded one comic and tried to make each panel into a 320 x 240 graphic. It works OK... EXCEPT that it's impossible to shrink word balloons and lettering that small and make it legible.

So I was wondering, would you, Jeph, support a volunteer project to download the pictures, and have people add voiceover to provide the voices? You as creator would have to audition some folks to make sure you got the voice in your head; and maybe help with creating the art in layers so the word balloons can be removed, if you don't do that already. The loyal QC readership would take care of the picture manipulation, voicing the words as written, and uploading the files to the site.

This would NOT be an animated QC cartoon! Just four panels, with the voices provided.

The part I'm not sure about is whether RSS/Atom/podcasts support doing pictures with voice captions. This could be done in HTML on web pages but I don't know about podcasts.

Just sayin' it would be awesome for folks to have portable QC.

Sorry if this has been asked, but why is there no weather? They live in western MA, Right? MA is a land of a lot of weather that requires more (or less, in the summer) than a t-shirt and jeans, which is what pretty much everyone wears all the time.

Fidel Fanst · « **Reply #820 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 06:00 »

@ Blooflame: If Jeph gives you project the OK, I'd definitely like to try out my luck in auditioning... Sounds interesting.

roint · « **Reply #821 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 08:49 »

Hey Jeph!

Your newspost reminded me that you were in a band that broke up before you started drawing QC. I'm curious as to what kind of band it was. Do you have any mp3 recordings of it?

Vankaar Raeth · « **Reply #822 on:** 10 Jan 2008, 13:20 »

I've the entire current QC comic collection 3 times over.

Is this normal?

blooflame · « **Reply #825 on:** 13 Jan 2008, 18:09 »

@FidelFanst - I imagine voice auditions would have to be via MP3s sent in to Jeph (and whoever else he wants to help judge) in some version of "Northampton Idol".

Amadeus · « **Reply #826 on:** 15 Jan 2008, 10:57 »

I was wondering why a lot of the links on the site are gone. Did Dr. McNinja do something to earn your scorn?

Of course, if it's a private matter, feel free to disregard the question. Wouldn't want to step on a neat person's toes.

Are there any plans to merch the

or :O mugs that Marten and Faye use?

GenericName · « **Reply #828 on:** 15 Jan 2008, 16:19 »

Raziel, Jeph's answered that several times. He said that if there were a way to ship them and guarantee they'd arrive in one piece, then maybe.
I think you might be able to find the exact post on the last couple pages of this thread?

Jeph, I just thought I'd be the first to ask--what's up with the new avatar? It looks magical. And possibly poisonous. Probably both.

Nah, I am pals with Dr. Hastings. I was just rearranging things on the site to better fit the new adspace I put up. In fact I added a whole bunch of NEW links just today.

Hi Jeph! Have you ever thought about the possibility of a Winslow iPod cozy available in the store?

Hi Jeph!
I was reading some of the older comics and i saw ellen speaking about AnthroPc's in the library who make fun of you when you try to get any acctual work done on them.

Any chance of seeing them in the comic?

PS: Love your comic! Best wishes from Estonia!

calenlass · « **Reply #837 on:** 18 Jan 2008, 06:51 »

Dear Jeph,

Will this recent collarbone injury impede upon your little-known New Year's resolution to hand-service 7 ponies per day?

Thanks!

I'm sure I've seen rain at some point =/
Or maybe I'm going crazy =]
I guess the reason he doesn't do weather is coz they're hardly ever outside

And whats happened to the search bar for the comics?

bbqrocks · « **Reply #839 on:** 20 Jan 2008, 07:53 »

Dear Jeph

I have three questions.

1. How come it is never raining outside in your comic
2. Would you mind if I copied every QC strip onto my ipod so I could read them whilst on holiday
3. I, uh, can't think of a third question. Bye.

Jiperlee · « **Reply #840 on:** 21 Jan 2008, 01:30 »

Hey Jeph, I've always wondered.....what does their new place look like from a distance? Like, all we've ever seen was the door with those lines(Plastic siding?) and the inside.....is it like a house? a condo? an apparent? I have a vague feeling like its a old 1930's downtown generic two-three story building that they seem to have floating around in the downtown area most cities....you know, the kind that goes on for an entire block(ala this, but restidental)

I'm so confused.....

Tago Mago · « **Reply #842 on:** 21 Jan 2008, 16:46 »

Dear Jeph,

Do you spend a lot of time obsessing over how to dress your characters each Questionable Content morning? I imagine it's a lot more stressful than dressing one's self, since the clothes you put on them could potentially last for weeks in real time! On the other hand, their wardrobes are functionally unlimited, and there's no need to worry over their clothing making them look fat or lumpy.

This is the substance of my preoccupations.

redd1 · « **Reply #843 on:** 22 Jan 2008, 06:05 »

hey jeph,

i know you have touched on polyamorous relationships a little bit with tia, but do you think there is a possiblity for it between marten, dora and faye....or is that just a fan servicey dream

also what are the odds of faye not hooking up with sven cause that would make me sad

GenericName · « **Reply #844 on:** 22 Jan 2008, 07:01 »

Redd, Jeph has said many times that he will not give out spoilers. You're coming awful close to spoilers.

redd1 · « **Reply #845 on:** 23 Jan 2008, 05:28 »

wasnt my intention really....just wondering if he was open to the idea or if it was a definate no......and the second part was just my attempt to jedi mind trick him away from that horrible idea

karas7 · « **Reply #846 on:** 23 Jan 2008, 06:39 »

Hey Jeph!
A couple of questions for you.
1. What piece of music is Benji playing in comic #1062, and
2. Is he hybrid picking (as it looks like he is using a pick).
Thank you in advance for your answers!
