If you aren’t aware, QC is a long running online strip that (generally) has been running 5 days a week for 23 years(!)
Went to check it last night and was greeted with this. 😔
If you’ve never read it, it’s generally SFW despite the title. Sometimes not.
Warning: Large cast, varied plots, an art style that has changed probably 16 times, huge time jumps, sentient AIs who sniff tea to see visions, and rocket powered roombas.
I’d link to a good jumping on point, but you know, “hacked and blown up.” All the Google thumbnails are super blurry.
I used to read QC religiously but when Claire went to Canada Cube TM I just couldn’t keep doing it anymore. The plotlines are boring IMO and you hardly see any of the orginal cast ( at least at the time I stopped reading). Obviously things change and grow but the whole cringey SpookyBot plotline really lost me and not seeing Martin or Faye nearly enough and as always a severe lack of pintsize.
That being said I don’t see any reason for someone to attack QC beyond them being a majorly inclusive comic series. I do seem to remember Jeph getting into twitter beef a lot in years past tho so maybe he pissed someone off.
Ahn is a new character who has been hilarious, as has been Liz the gremlin. I’m not bothered by failing to get another Steve Eating Cereal. LOL.
Its not even the new characters. Its just kept feeling more and more lol xD random in a cringey reddit way and I couldn’t stomach it. Also all the robots were getting hard to keep track of since Jeph can’t draw different faces.
The robot issue is a fair cop, but hey, at least they are different colors and some have noses and some don’t. 😉
I also really like Zlata but TBH she’s so barely there I had to Google her name. She totally has a crush on Marten. LOL.
Yeah I vaguely remember Zlata, I do miss the squirrel camp edits tho hahaha
