[QUOTE=jayjay]  
Having just gotten through the entire archive, I can safely say that I’m now in love with QC. A lot of webcomics with 1000+ strips in the archive usually start flagging around 300 or so, but this was consistently funny. It’s in my comic bookmark folder for continuing consumption now.  
[/quote]

Even more impressive is the fact that the author is able to reliably update the strip on a daily basis (5 days a week).

I really got a kick out of Hanners copping a feel 😃

[QUOTE=hotflungwok]

Personally I want to see Hanners find a guy.  
[/QUOTE]

I think Hanners may be my favorite of the bunch - and I really want her to find a guy, but it will end up being someone who drives her bonkers (as in, he’s a complete slob or the like). Which will, of course, lead to lots of Hanners hijinks.

Dora’s got the right on Faye - but Faye’s too uptight for the random hookup, so I can already see Dora pushes Faye into random hookup, which ends badly.

QC is my favorite webcomic.

So…question. For the guys, and hell, for the girls, too. Who is the hottest QC girl? Faye, Dora, Raven, Hanners, Meena, Ellen? or, um…er…who’s the blonde with glasses? The one who wanted Steve to ask her out and worked at the coffee store?

Penelope. Or is she Pizza Girl? We don’t know.

I like Raven best, but really, none of the characters are real enough for me to want to date.

It looks like momentum is building for a Faye hookup with Sven… **but** , the same can be said about Faye and Angus McPhee (“Argument Guy”). It can’t be true for both of them, but I don’t know where the cartoonist is going with whichever one doesn’t land Faye. Is Angus purely a red herring?

I want to know more about Hanners’ childhood on the space station. If we’re looking for a love interest for our favorite OCD sufferer, how about a fellow space station dweller, [Greg Dean’s brother](http://www.reallifecomics.com/)?

Hanners - not just because she’s rich and crazy, either.

Well Hanners, naturally. Or Raven. Or Penelope. Or …

C’mon. They’ve all got something going for them!

Well, you don’t HAVE to have a Pintsize. You could end up with a Winslow. You’d just have to keep him away from the Pintsizes of the world.

Meena and Hanners. I also like Dora but don’t get the mass appeal of Faye.

Anyone know why today’s comic is entitled “Magna Carta”?

</div>

Because of this part of that Magna Carta, maybe?

> [@Wikipedia](#):
>
> Magna Carta was originally written because of disagreements among Pope Innocent III, King John and the English barons about the rights of the King. Magna Carta required the King to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures and accept that his will could be bound by the law.
> 
> [Magna Carta - Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magna_carta)

It seems like this might be another step in Marten and Dora’s relationship. She’s asking him to give up feelings for those ex-girlfriends.

Makes me wonder who’s Pope Innocent III in this scenario.

Whew, I was concerned that I might be considered a freak for thinking that Hanners is kinda hot in a twitchy way. On the one hand I’d be afraid I’d be taking advantage of her, on the other…I dunno. Also Meena.

I just feel like they keep hinting that, ohh remember how Marten liked Faye FIRST.  
[/QUOTE]  
Well, “they” don’t – Dora does. Every time this comes up, its all Dora. She’s just insecure is all. End of story.

Personally I’m getting tired of her insecure butt, its gotten tiresome to have the same go-around over and over: [Dora’s](http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=582) insecure that Faye might take Marten away from her. [Dora’s](http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=568) insecure that she was a rotten bitch for stealing Marten away from her friend. yadayadayada.

I absolutely love this strip, but c’mon, Jeph! You’ve tread this ground like, what, four or five times now since the big “Faye and Marten Finally Talk” sequence 700 or so strips ago? Give it a rest unless its driving one of the characters through an arc of some sort.

I guess that’s why I’m hoping Jeph will do something with it. Come on, you hint every five minutes that something’s going to go down with them…and I’m TIRED of sloppy make outs and Dora and Marten wearing each other’s jeans. I want drama!
