I don't know why, but it's always surreal to find out that webcomics I stopped reading 15 years ago still exist. Lots of things exist when I'm not looking at them. I don't know why my brain snags on this one.

Sluggy Freelance is still going, Christ. It took me like a year and a half to catch up to current way back in 2004, I can't imagine the struggle now.

QC is worth catching up on. As Jeph got older his work got more mature, more overtly progressive, and aggressively more queer. It's the only webcomic from back in the day that I still read daily, because it never fails to brighten my morning a little bit.

Personally I prefer being behind: that way I can binge at my own pace rather than having to wait for the next one 😁

One of the few things I miss from Reddit were the extra small communities like the one for QC. I liked being able to chat with the 30 other people who read this comic daily.

In case anyone wants to use a free, open-source mirror of that other site to bring quality content into the fediverse, I'll leave this here:

Same here. See also: the ridiculously hyperspecific cat subs 😄

[-] scops@reddthat.com 3 points 1 day ago

Really? Every time I visited the QC sub it seemed like they were finding something to get angry about and always bitching about the comic going down in quality.

[-] sorrowl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 day ago

There were 2 subreddits for qc. One for the haters who think the comic has gone down in quality, and one for the lovers who think the comic is as good or better as it's been in the past.

Imo both subs were kinda annoying since on one you can't say anything bad about it and on one you can't say anything good about it.

[-] rumschlumpel@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

The one where you can't say anything bad about it also regularly got harassed by users from the other sub, which was quite annoying. I never got why the sub's mods weren't more proactive with banning people who were clearly just there to start shit.

[-] sorrowl@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 1 day ago

Yeah, that was kinda ass. Atleast the hater sub had some pretty funny parody comics, but otherwise it was a pretty toxic place.

As a Transfem I wish :3

She's a goblin, and that's what we love about her.

Liz is one of my favourite poorly adjusted gremlins.

what's this about?

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

It's an out of context (OOC) panel from the webcomic Questionable Content (QC). I've provided a link to the full comic in the description for those desirous of context and/or wanting to read a fun comic 🙂
