  I read a lot of webcomics. I just don't spam them here. :)

Right. So you've got the whole "I like web comics" part but you're not 
retarded enough to mistake that for "I should tell everybody any time I 
read something amusing".

Damn, I should make some *friends* or something... :-(

Oh, sure. Hand out cocaine to the addicts. ;-)

  I liked this one:

  The last remark would be great to use in some conversation.

I remember the first time I heard that word. A somewhat amusing book was 
encouraging the team cheerleader (known as "the wizard") to ensure 
victory via "ritual defenestration of a watermellon."  I was sure it 
meant something crude. :-)

Yeah, I did this actually.

The *very* first one is more like a schematic diagram of what the 
characters are doing rather than an actual "picture" of it.

I think Faye looked better in some of the older strips than she does 
now. (Round about the 250 mark or something.) But hey, that's just me.

Did anybody *else* sometimes have trouble trying to tell which character 
is which? The females all seem to have basically identical faces, but 
with different colour hair. (Or perhaps this is just an artifact of my 
brain disorder?)

Hmm, this one also amused me...

Do you have *any idea* how many words I've had to look up during the 
course of reading this comic?

[I don't actually know any girls, so I have no idea if this sort of 
thing happens in the real world or not.]

Heh. Well, after reading this one, I'm thinking about doing that even more.

...on the other hand...

Well, let me put it this way. If *I* did a web comic, it would end up 
being about some hopeless dude who is basically me, who never the less 
somehow ends up with a really fantastic girlfriend. I mean, it would 
make *me* really happy... but... it wouldn't actually be very 
*entertaining* for anybody who isn't me. (*o_o*)

Also, I can't draw humans. Especially female ones. Especially with no 
clothes on.

Eeerrrr.... ignore that last...

Here's an example to get you started. No need to draw.

1. Load up power point

3. Draw some callout boxes
4. Select a nice font
5. Type some stuff

Next time you are about to write one your "blog style posts", try to think 
if you could make a cartoon from it.  And of course you can exaggerate and 
bend the truth to make it more interesting ;-)

Yeah, but... some empty panes with a little bit of text in it is going 
to get boring pretty fast. ;-)

Hmm... yeah, because "oh hey, this weekend I decided to go hang out with 
a friend of mine, and we went to this neat pub. And then I asked if one 
of his friends could join us, and this totally *hot* little girl turns 
up. And we just sat around and chatted for a couple of hours. It was 
great! I think he's going to ask her if he can give me her phone 
number..." is really easy to sum up in a couple of drawings. [Not to 
mention interesting for other people to... hey, wait! So *that* is why 
nobody reads my blog! o_O Damnit...]

Hmm... the last panel seems to be how everybody seriously thinks I am. 
Apparently you don't know me as well as you think. ;-)

Also, now I'm wondering whether the 3rd panel *is* entirely black or 
whether it's my monitor. (Several strips from QC were jet black until I 
watched them on a functioning monitor...)

It's mostly jet black ... if I'd thought about it, I should have added some 
detail to the bedroom with #010101 :-)

Heh, because you haven't seen enough IRL? Like how Japanese characters

IANAW but I thought that the horny period and the menstruation period 
were a week or so apart. Being horny is only functional if you are fertile.

IIRC, you were almost done reading the whole XKCD archive, and *then* 
noticed the alt text, so you had to read it all again.

Did you notice there is some sort of blog post at the right of all qc 
comics?

Nah. IRL, girls have all kinds of different faces. And different bodies. 
Most of them are fairly average, but lots of them are very beautiful. 
And in *so* many different ways. God, I couldn't even begin to start 
counting them...

Yeah - half way through.

And then I realised that after the early comics, the blog tends to be 
completely unrelated to the comic (or just "no news today"), and so I 
ignored it...

I was under the impression that that is (A) commercial and (B) 
spine-tinglingly expensive.

(Also, I gather it doesn't work for certain poses anyway...)

You can get it for 120£ and some earlier versions for 50£.
There's also DAZ Studio, which is free.

Now that's true but it does pin-up poses OK, something it's mostly used 
for...

Do you really think the drawings are necessary for this?  Although they 
are enjoyable, I would read it if it were just the dialog and commentary :)

Is it good or bad that I'm actually enjoying your comics?
