Questionable Content

So I've come up with something to talk about here besides Doctor Who: my newest obsession, Questionable Content.  One of my friends had sent me the link to these strips a long time ago due to my love of giraffes, but I kind of just looked at them and moved on.  I recently actually had a look at the strip, and decided it was worth reading and, well, I might have sort of read through the entire archive of almost 1900 comics in a matter of a few days.  Um.  Oops.

I guess I don't have a whole lot to say about it at the moment.  It frustrates me a whole bunch that it moves along so slowly.  That wasn't such a big deal when I was reading through the archives, but now that I'm down to regular speed of one strip per day, it upsets me that I have to read about Dora looking at apartments when I would really rather know what was going on with characters I actually care about (for the record, that is "every main character except Dora.")

At the moment, I would really like to post my theory so that if it turns out to be true, I can say that I called it, and if it turns out to be wrong, it won't matter because no one reads this anyway.  This comic introduces a new character named Elliot and this one talks about a previously-unmentioned character named Elliot.  They were only published 18 strips apart.  I am suspicious.  My guess is that they turn out to be the same person.  Especially given that the Elliot we actually see is a big guy, which fits the bouncer profile nicely.  I do question my theory somewhat on the grounds that surely if he worked at the bar that the group frequents, wouldn't they at least recognize him already?  I guess maybe he's newly hired or something.  This is another story line that I would like to get back to rather than following Dora around on her apartment hunt.  Silly Dora.

I suppose that's really all I have to say about QC for now, but I'll probably bring it up whenever anything exciting happens on the strip.
