http://www.questionablecontent.net/ comic 1093. Look at the board on the back wall . . . the strip has only ever mentioned D&D once. I just thought it was amusing.

So, does anyone else here read Questionable Content?

Huh.

I've seen it before, but I don't read really.

I wonder if there's been any other comics noting Gygax's death?

Penny Arcade (http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/03/04) for one. Nodwick had a blog post about it.

And yes, I do read QC.

Actually, I recall an issue it which one of Raven's friends comes in and gives her some twenty-sided dice...

QC is a kinda ridiculous comic, what with the pretentious indie music references and the over the top soap opera plots, but it's also hilarious in spots and I love it to death.

I love looking at the very first comics. It's hard to believe that they were drawn by the same person!

So . . . any thoughts on the current Faye/Sven arc?

This sums up everything about said comic I could ever possibly say.

I like the Sven/Faye arch. Let's face it, she needed a shag.

I hope that Dora doesn't murder him for it.

I love QC. It's right behind OOTS in my favorite webcomics.
Dora won't murder Sven. I can't wait til she finds out though. I liked Faye's acceptance of the thing to her therapist. "I got laid, high five."

As for the mention of Gygax, it's probably Raven who wrote that, plus a tiny nod to him is just nice.

She'll have Melville do it!

Questionable Content is probably my favorite webcomic of all. It's better than OOTS, it's better than the comic I draw.

XKCD (http://www.xkcd.com/393/) also seems to have a tribute this friday to EGG. I like it.

There have been a few - I noted UserFriendy had a little Memorium to him

Figures, the one time I don't read the specials board they make a reference to the real world.

They mentioned dnd here, (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=134) and i thought there was another one with pintsize bringing up marty's past dnd with the arms & equipment guide but i cannot find it. Oh and I believe that raven also plays dnd.

I also read QC regularly. I remember when i found the comic i spent an entire weekend reading the story from past to current. What i think is really cool is that his style gets slowly better so you do not realize it right away until you look back even a year you can see how he has improved.

Yes, and that same comment referencing Raven's DnD past makes fun of male genetalia...

Imagine Raven's reaction. Or do you think she'll just collapse?

For those interested, I found the comic (http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=963) in which Raven admits to playing D&D.

Yes, QC is one of the better comics out there, though I love it for the art style more than the indie references that go way over my head in the same capacity that a giant's axe misses a halfling on a horizontal slash.

Aye, nine tenths of those go over my head (there's the occasional classic rock one I get) but the fact remains that the comic is hilarious. It's one of the most genuinely funny things out there.

I read GC too.

Its my other favorite comic ... not sure if I like OotS or QC more, but they are both pretty much the top of the webcomics I know.

QC is still my favorite. I don't get the indie rock references either, but that not really what it's about anyway.

Oh this I had to post: UVoD (http://www.macguff.fr/goomi/unspeakable/vault255.html) did a tribute.

Is it wrong that I want to find someone to hook up with tonight for the sole and express purpose of saying "Thanks for helping me trick my body into believing it fulfilled its genetic imperative."
