The thing is, you are completely free to date a much-younger person who is an adult. However, please remember this helpful guideline: if you ask them out for any reason other than simply "I saw them and they looked hot" or "I know them from the pub and never asked their age while we were drinking and watching football", you are weird.

His current crop of memes is quite concerning.

I fully accept that I could be wrong on this but I don't think he will. Times are changing. It does him better to just draw lesbian roommate OCS than it does to start telling people he's a girl. It brings him next to no social benefit and nothing for his comics. The act of taking those drugs irl and wearing girl clothes is a really destructive action and it seems like contradictory behavior for a guy who pumps out relatable viralslop and leans into anything the audience likes. If he does say he's a girl Ill assume he's lying and living life as he was before. Just an excuse to draw a female mascot for himself.

Yeah, I also agree to some part. But a lot people troon out not because it brings them benefits whatsoever, they do it simple because they're too porn-brained and want to live their fantasy. Considering how much he's into lesbian stuffs, even making comics about it again and again, I don't think it'd be weird for bike cuck to actually start trooning out. Well, we will see, I guess.

But I think the surgeon I paid to invert my penis is happier to have been paid thousands than lesbians are sad my 5-oclocked shadow ass can come into women's spaces and try to guilt trip them into dating me. The total happiness in the world increased. So, whatever.

Do you have any idea how little that narrows it down?
Handstab has been slowly writing the tranny & his early Self insert out of the comic for like 2 years at this point? Ever since the lesbian wedding. I think nigga is very clearly done with QC but has been a retard with his T-shirt money and fails to realize:
No one reads QC because they like it. They read it because they've read it for like 20 years at this point.
Also that he is an insufferable fart-huffing aging hipster and his highdea Roko's Basilisk retardation isn't entertaining, least of all to anyone outside of his new england liberal circle jerk.

Double Posting but w/e
Against my better judgement I was curious to see how bad QC has gotten.
Answer: still bad and slowly getting worse
Then there is this
Handstab still super performatively mad about cops.
The brown girl is a rich indian girl who is in the middle of a literal "Fuck you dad" arc because Jeph is both angry at his father and also terminally butthurt about Elon Musk.
I will repeat my stance:
Unless you work for a musk company, if you spend more than 30 minutes in a week thinking about Elon Musk - postively or negatively - you are a lolcow.
So from a quick skim and the fan wiki, I guess Martin and the Tranny have gone to some Canadian place for a job. The Tranny is going too hard on work and we're getting a very, very slow boil on "Focusing on work not your relationship" including the Tranny cancelling a date because of work.
Jeph also cannot stop turning his female characters into bulldykes.
The current Manic Pixie Quirky Gremin Girl going from this
to this
to this (too lazy to crop)
There is also a quirky smol bean nigger girl who is also such a quirky sprerg. Her journey to bulldykery has not yet begun. because Handstab is a racist.
Anyway just remember Handstab has to continue drawing Hipster General Hospital or be homeless.

Elon Musk could buy and sell your ass and employs thousands of people. You huff your own farts when the internet isn't bullying you to self-harm like you are a highschoo girl.A hipster who's sole contribution is bad pictures said:

I know I’m beating a dead horse, but I just can’t get over this. In what world is “ew. ACAB” a reasonable response to a friend telling you, “I used to be a cop”? It’s such a performative, brain broken thing to say. Even if you truly, deeply loathe cops it’s still bizarre. If someone told me, “y’know, I’ve killed people before” I wouldn’t say, “ew. Thou shalt not murder.”

Welcome to Handstab's world, where being performatively outrages over the social justice cause du jour is the most valuable social currency.
This is one of the most hilarious parts of Handstab's soap opera, which is nigga moves things at such a glacial pace the world moves past the social justice fad he tries to soap box on. His bulldyked manic indie dream girl is fucking a battlebot he tried to use to "War is bad, mmmkay" and opine about PTSD (this from a faggot so thin skinned he stabbed himself in his drawing hand and showed the internet because he was being bullied for not making his overweight character disgusting enough in her swimwear. So I don't think he can talk about PTSD.) and now those topics are completely forgotten and so is the plot point. Lezbot no longer mentions PTSD or military sevice except in extreme throw away lines.
The fact the character saying that is a sheltered rich girl would have been some unintentional self-reflection except CopBot* follows up with that retarded line about "Took me years to realize what that really means".
*Who was also Dyked out, initially looking like this:
Same. Hell, I end up doing a synopsis catch up like every two years when someoen posts something particularly lolworthy in this thread so you're in better shape than I am.

It used to be a comfy comic, for me at least. Like that sitcom that isn't that great but is entertaining and familiar enough that you can put it on and enjoy it. The indie posing never interested me but the characters were fine, the writing was okay, and it came out five days a week on time so there was always a new page every weekday.
And then, he made the robots human sized and everything really went downhill there. I think he was upset with Alice Grove not taking off (Hey Jeph and other people who do this, if you're going to write a graphic novel and upload it as a webcomic, you need to put out more than two pages a week so people get enough story to keep them interested. And don't take twenty pages to get the story started unless you're planning on uploading the first twenty pages at the beginning) and incorporated ideas he had for it into QC, but then the robots overshadowed the original cast because Jeph was more interested in them than the characters people liked.
I get it, it's his comic, but he'd probably be better off setting it aside for a few months, or just wrapping everything up, and trying something new. If he did another graphic novel five days a week, it'd probably do better.

No he already tried, everything he does fails. He will be stuck doing QC forever.
The issue is that Handstab is a bitter old man at this point. He used to have fun as a lefty hipster enjoying being a hipster and having a bit of good fun with his own culture. It was fun for both indie hipster faggots who got the inside jokes and normal people who just laughed at how ridiculous it was. Pintsized was just a small foulmouthed robot and didn't need a lore drop.
Then Handstab, as part of tranny fetish, started going into Transhumanism and retarded shit like Roko's Ballisisk. He started to get bitter and isn't having fun with things anymore, he's just legit seething. We can't even blame that on Trump, he lost his shit long before.
If he stops QC for a period of time, he will break his readership's "daily habit" and will lose a large portion of readers he'll never get back. QC is not exactly growing readership. If he tries do something new, it'll fail like Alice Grove did because he is bitter and he can't be actually edgy or funny anymore. He can't create anything entertaining because his shit isn't entertaining its "amusing", as you said, 'comfy'. but he can't be comfy anymore in CURRENT YEAR he must preech and seethe or be guilty of wrong think.

He's sort of the anti-Sinfest in that sense. Sinfest similarly is clearly no longer having fun and is just incessantly tard raging and went full fash, but is still absolutely batshit crazy in an entertaining way.

I think unlike Handstab, Ishida actually enjoys making Sinfest. He's utterly completely mental, he's preaching, but there is a manic energy to his polemic.
Or maybe its just Ishida's art has actually evolved in the past 10 years unlike Handstab.
Handstab doesn't want to make hipster soap operas anymore, but also knows that when he doesn't and tries to focus on his liberal morality tales, readership drops and fans keep pestering him to know more about how X couple is doing. Like Alice Grove showed, if he had his way he'd do some "deep" (lol) Transhumanism epic, but he is absolutely awful at writing (and his art is just "serviceable") and even with his name attached, he can't get to maintain a readership. He is stuck doing QC for life.
Or I guess:
I think if you approached Ishida and Handstab with an offer where you would match the average of their last 3 years of income for the rest of their lives adjusted for inflation (that is: they would never be required to work again) with no strings attached, I think Handstab would end QC but Ishida would continue to crank out Sinfest.

I feel like Alice Grove's biggest problem was that it was meant to be this sci-fi/fantasy epic with a deeper narrative... and he wrote and drew it the exact same way he wrote and drew QC. He's admitted multiple times he writes and draws each strip the day of, which explains why sometimes you'll have these strips that build up a new arc only for it to not happen. For me the one that always stuck out was Raven's Canadian hobo boyfriend who got like ten strips focusing on him only for him to disappear and never return.
AG I think he wrote out ahead of time, but he still wrote characters who spoke and acted like they were in QC. You could absolutely see them hanging out at Coffee of Doom or chatting with Marten, especially now that you have these robot characters who are clearly not human. And the artwork, no interesting panel layouts or camera angles, he just did exactly what he did before.
It's like when Scott Kurtz was talking about changing up PVP and then did exactly the same thing. Kurtz found the current status quo stale and boring because he'd been doing the comic for over a decade, but still wanted to write and draw something like it because that was his comfort zone. But if you want to do something different, you need to do something that's actually different, not just the same thing as before with a new coat of paint.
