01 april Online Comics, Part DeuxWhile catching up on one of the online comics I blogged about last week I discovered another comic called Questionable Content.
This comic is just as entertaining as the others although it's of a completely different genre. It's about a bunch of 20-something friends who are into "Indie Music" and hang out at a coffee shop one of them owns. Most of the characters are also neurotic or crazy in one way or another. Ya, I know it sounds like some kind of Friends in comic form, but I think it's much more entertaining than "Friends" ever was, primarily because there actually is an overarching story arc which has some depth and complexity to it. You also don't have to know or care anything about "Indie Music" (I don't) - I rarely haven't been able to get the joke on the occasions where it might be relevant.
Another cool thing is that the main character, Martin, has an "AnthroPC" called "Pintsize" which is sort of a robotic PDA with an AI personality that has a bizarre sense of humour and a prediliction for human porn.
The artwork starts off very simple but gradually becomes more realistic over time so bear with it. Also, be warned - there are 1111 strips as of today and it took me 5 days (while unemployed) to completely catch up - but it is so worth it.
(And no, despite the day on which this was published, this is NOT an April Fools day joke - I really do like QC!)
