i love reading all these strips again! in this volume we find out what's going on with faye (DUN DUN DUN) (that was pintsize making doom noises.) we also have the first usage of the phrase "math is delicious!" what really makes it for me is jeph jacques' commentary at the bottom of each strip. the guy kills me. love love love love love. hurry up with the 3rd collection, jeph!!

I stayed up until 3am to finish reading this. (Even though I had already read about 1/3 of the book online years ago.) It's just good.

Just as funny as the first with a little drama added in. The art gets better with each volume, even though each style has its own charm and appeal.

'Questionable Content' has been around a looong time. I remember it first crossing my path in high school when it was one of many web comics flourishing in the early-to-mid aughts, but the jokes were a little soft and the art style was not so fresh. So, I moved on and happily read 'Elftor' and '8-Bit Theater' and other high-brow web comics instead. Years, slash that, DECADES, later we have the Quarantine of '19 and I need something to occupy my anxious mind. I re-read some old favorites and an old internet essay on 'classic' web comics mentions 'Questionable Content' as one of the best survivors. When faced with that early art and the hundreds, if not thousands, of strips I'd have to get through to get to Jacques mature style I went ahead and read it anyway.
I really got to know and love these characters. I'm reviewing these a year later so I don't remember what the early storylines were - probably just Martin being whiney about not sleeping with Faye am i rite guyz? - but it worked and as the characters grew and many, many more were cycled in and out it continues to work. 'Questionable Content' became as much about the workplace as about music, hanging out in bars, and navigating independent adulthood. It worked in issues of mental health, trauma, relationships, addiction, and inclusion as well as many other issues without losing its heart or humor. I appreciate that. I'll keep reading 'Questionable Content' as long as Jacques keeps writing it.

Segunta entrega (tiras 301-600) de este comic (gratis en la página del autor), que sigue las vidas de unos amigos totalmente en plan Friends, con sus cosas del día a día. Muy entretenido aunque a veces peque de falta de contenido. Pero se deja leer.

The second three hundred strips of the excellent Questionable Content see the format shift. We finally get a resolution to the will they/won't they thing between Faye and Marten and the introduction of the rather awesome Hannelore. The art starts to mature as well and by the end of this volume we start to see the characters as we know and love them today. The cast also starts to expand as not only Hannelore appears, but we start seeing the family of our already established cast, with Marten's mum, Dora's brother and Faye's mum and sister. This starts to make our cast start to feel like rounded people with real lives that we care about (especially after we find out about Faye's history) and this is something that Jacques has been very good at maintaining to this day. So still early days but evolving rapidly.
