Questionable Content: Difference between revisions

Then, beginning at strip 500, [[Wham! Episode|everything changes]]. The strip eventually got to the point where it shifted from having Marten and Faye as the main protagonists to having a full-fledged [[Ensemble Cast]]. And then just when you thought everything was safe, [[Wham! Episode|everything changes again]] at strip 1800. Only this time, where the comic is headed next is even more uncertain.

 

 

QC updates every weekday, with remarkable consistency considering that Jacques has no buffer whatsoever and usually draws the comic--on live webcast--that night. The comic itself can be found [http://questionablecontent.net/ here].

 

Five print collections are currently out, the first ones featuring re-lettered and sometimes re-drawn versions of the first arcs.

 

{{tropelist}}

* [[Cat Smile]]: Marigold is fond of these

* [[Cerebus Syndrome]]: The strip started as a boy and his robot, but in no time moved to sarcasm and joking about music and music fans, while developing the relationships between the characters before taking a turn for the dramatic about #500, while retaining the joke-a-day format. Jeph lampshades this in the commentary/news for [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1481 strip #1481.]

* [[Characterization Marches On]]: Hannelore was certainly odd when [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=515 first introduced], but she becomes a much [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1046 different] character than she was before, [[Author's Saving Throw|explained]] by her trying out new medication. It's [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshaded]] in [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1824 #1824] and mentioned in-universe by Dr. Case in [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2134 #2134 as she recounts Hannelore's childhood.]

* [[Chaste Hero]]:

* [[Oh Crap, There Are Fanfics of Us]]: [http://jephjacques.tumblr.com/post/1456308074/fffffffff Marigold] hits [[Fanfiction.net]] in Jeph's Tumblr.

* [[Older Than They Look]]: Amir is thirty-five but looks like he's in his mid-twenties, he claims "good genes".

* [[One Steve Limit]]:

** When Marigold is introduced, her first words are "Damnit Angus, I told you I have a raid!". Sure enough, it is later revealed that recurring character Angus is her roommate. Dora even says "I thought she said your name earlier!" as if there was only one person named Angus in the world.

** Dora ships {{spoiler|Angus/Faye}}.

** Hanners ships Marigold/Francis (the scientist from John Ellicott's space station).

** Marten [[Lampshaded Trope|lampshades]] this immediately afterwards.

{{quote|'''Marten''': "You're really ''dead set'' on that "reasonable number of babies", huh?}}

* [[Ship Sinking]]:

** Faye/Marten. Although put on hold before The Talk and his relationship with Dora, it was specifically sunk [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1737 here,] [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1739 two strips later], and [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1807 these][http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1838 two].

** Marigold/Tai [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1792 here.]

** [[Something*Positive|Davan and Nancy]] show up in [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=511 this strip.]

** There's a [[Mass Effect|Geth]] and a [[Lucky Star|Konata]] chassis for sale in [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1998 this strip,] which is even called "Robocameos".

** If you look at the Hot Topic in the background of [http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1996 this strip], you can see a poster advertising [[Homestuck|troll horns]].

** [[Dune|I must not laugh]]. Laughter is the Marten-killer. [http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=351 Laughter is the little death that brings about total obliteration by an enraged Faye...]

** Shortly after, a minor character by the name of [[Deadly Premonition|Francis York]] appears.

** Marten refers to Clinton as [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|Tom Servo]] during one particular moment of creepiness.

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Fans from the Northampton area are continually impressed by the backgrounds of the city, since anyone familiar with the real Northampton can recognize the slightly-changed version of real places.

* [[Show Within a Show]]: The manga/anime ''Magical Love Gentleman''; Marigold is a '''serious''' fan, and introduced Hannelore and Angus to it.
