>12,000 patreons >art has been the same since like 2010
It can't just be hatereads, who is actually supporting this, why do you people still read this. I am 32 and read this in high school and dropped it after a while because it just became a slog.
My roommate still reads it unironically. I went to make a joke about hand-stabby but asked him first if he'd ever heard of the comic, at which point he mentioned that he reads it.
I mean the handstab was at least 10 years ago, right? Ol' Jeph has gone through a whole marriage and apparently moved to Canada?
Are people invested in this shit still? did Faye and Marten ever bone?m
>He doesn't seem to have a reserve in the event that he wants to go do something that day though.
i think he does that so he can gauge and temper audience reactions. i've seen him say things said in these threads almost verbatim in the next day's comic. if i were in his shoes i'd crank out like 5 of these puppies in one sitting and enjoy the rest of my week, but his audience is pretty temperamental, so maybe he can't afford to do that
he used to not have a buffer, but now that he releases the comics a day early to his paypigs, he has a full day to react to the comments here and on patreon to adjust the plot/correct errors as necessary

>correct errors
He DEFINITELY doesn't bother fixing errors. The last time he changed one was for the number of viewers MM420 had.
Typos, forgetting to erase sketch lines, incorrect comic numbers... all too much work for ol' Gepphy to fix
i bet it takes like an hour to do the lineart and an hour to color. i'm no drawgay but like you said, he's been doing this shit for 20 years. he could probably do it with his eyes closed
How quickly he progressed in the early days. Dora's face there on page 666 actually has soul- it's cartoony and expressive, simple without being crude. He could have leaned into/developed that style and stalled artistically there and things would have been better.
I finally gave it up a few years ago. It's hard to overstate how much a habit can be to drop, and whatever else you can assay about Hacks, he puts out a comic five days a week and has been doing so, barring incidents like The Stabbening, every week since some time in 2003.

The key ingredient to web comic success. There are probably dozens of better comics that are long forgotten today because the creator kept flaking out.
People pretend that try-on haul videos are not softcore porn and that's really funny to me. They can pretty much wear anything as long as our friend the nipple doesn't show up.
Hey I know grandpa there loves his "well, if pole dancing is a sport" shit, but most strippers, the good ones anyways, are fit as frick. And not just for the pole, but most of the poses the have to hold is like intense planking. The actual exercise, not that other thing.
Man I remember reading this shit back at ep 1 when it was about some hipster dude and his talking robot buddy doing hipster things. What the frick even happened?
A lot of standard mid2000s webcomic relationship arcs, then his patreon fricking exploded and now he's riding a tiger made of tens of thousands of dollars per month but periodically bites his hands if he makes even the slightest misstep on certain topics
That's been what she looks like for a while now, any initial designs have been tossed completely, she's just Claire without having to worry about trans stuff now (which he never understood or engaged with on any level beyond tokenism anyway). Seriously, she's the exact same character, awkward and anxious but universally beloved by everyone who meets her
it’s a meme here to intentionally misspell the author’s name in increasingly ridiculous ways. we’ve now come to the point where we often randomly mash keys to represent him. it’s one if the more fun running gags of these threads

The AI hivemind sent May to hook Marigold up with Augustus Prime because it heard they're both involved in the last heterosexual relationships on Earth and they need to be stopped. May of course is unaware of this, acting on what she believes is personal interest, but really she's an agent for the soft genocide of humanity.
Is this gonna be like vtuber off collabs where they shower together and rub soap on their butts?
While we do know that Aureila voraciously fricks college students, so far she's exclusively gone for boys.
So did monster breasts until she met robotank
Fair point, fair point. She was open to Dora being pretty touchy-feely, but not really in a way beyond girls being girls
good, fat chick needs a good dicking
This isn't the one with the dick, although they look identical.
they all have cybernetic dick implants

My dad still reads it unironically. He doesn't know I read it, I think. I hope.
actually it gets worse, he peaked over 3000 comics ago
How long do you think it takes him to draw a comic? He's been doing the same thing for 20 years.
Maybe a few hours. He doesn't seem to have a reserve in the event that he wants to go do something that day though.

The problem is, he does
s/could probably do/does

Isn't it likely that alot of it is asset-dropping? The later art in
looks like it could easily be made via that method.

Webcomics are hard to drop once you get used to reading them because checking again takes such little effort
The prevailing theory is that a lot of people just support it because they agree with the values it portrays and they find it comfy.
HOW they can find it entertaining I don't get.
Like it is pretty evident Jeph there has largely given up on writing and art.
It's a dollar a month. The most likely explanation is that most subscribers have forgotten they're still paying.
sex
Someone should draw them doing one of those Try-on Haul collabs.
People pretend that try-on haul videos are not softcore porn and that's really funny to me. They can pretty much wear anything as long as our friend the nipple doesn't show up.
if pole dancing is a sport, dressing like a bawd can be performance art too.
This is the future you chose.
>This is the future you chose.
Oh no! What a nightmare! Shut the frick up, boomer.

Yep, can't wait to see it at the olympics.
It's cool that you won't have to die earlier than me, your brain will just turn to liquid shit and that will be that 😉
go dilate, zomzom
hehehe old
70ˋs already did that.
>oh no harlots!
do you read your post out loud to hear how much of a fricking nerd your being right now?
Is he on fricking vacation or something? It's been these same panels all week.
It's going to pan out to show neither of them wearing pants
There is more hope in this post than I have felt in the last 12 years.
based
they both seem like the hoodie-with-no-pants type, but for different reasons
if it happens op should write a poem about his love for jeph that's at least 2 paragraphs long
one is a divorced, or whatever, milf discovering herself, and the other is a stinky slob of a streamer girl?

He literally forgot how to draw her, and just threw eyebags on Claire.
That's been what she looks like for a while now, any initial designs have been tossed completely, she's just Claire without having to worry about trans stuff now (which he never understood or engaged with on any level beyond tokenism anyway).

Jesus
Thank god, the redhead finally got their nasal piercing taken out.
Anon…
Huh, that was actually pretty funny
I'm not used to seeing humor in QC
Kys Hweqqf, you’ve never been funny and you never will be.
What? Did you have a stroke mid-sentence?
Have a stroke is an ableist slur, Qqephrt. Stab your hand or I’m telling tumblr. Or just stop shilling. And have a nice day.
Can we get a translator? I don't speak mental illness

Anon is observant.
Haven't they already met before?
What the hell, I haven't been to Cinemaphile in years, and somehow the artstyle has become even worse.
Did he stab his hand again?
He didn't waste any time acknowledging everyone calling him out about the area code, I see.
why is this still up? your boy is not going to draw for you in this one thread
he's brazilian, so unless you can keep this up for a whole day, your chances are shit
You don't know that. DBaru could still be up. Maybe he's a drug addict and his schedule is all over the place. You never know.
We once had a thread hang around for most of the week. Making it to the evening still happens on occasion.
how much oc was made for it?
Can't recall, maybe at least one nice piece of art each day.
lol ok, this super reads like not a lie, but ok
