History Webcomic / QuestionableContent

''[[http://questionablecontent.net/ Questionable Content]]'' ("QC") is a [[WebcomicsLongRunners long running]] SliceOfLife webcomic by Creator/JephJacques.

[[RidiculouslyHumanRobots Robots R Us]] ''(strips 3901-present)'' A more subtle shift, where the relationships between the AI characters are just as important as the relationships between AIs and humans. Heavily inspired by Literature/TheCulture.

''[[http://questionablecontent.net/ Questionable Content]]'' ("QC") is a webcomic by Creator/JephJacques. It initially stars protagonist Marten Reed, an indie-rock fan living in Northampton, Massachusetts, with an [[ComedicSociopathy adorably sociopathic]] [[RobotBuddy little robot]]. He runs into a girl at a bar, Faye Whitaker, a barista who's just moved from Savannah and needs a friend, but adamantly [[JustFriends no more than a friend]]. She then accidentally burns down her apartment building while making toast and needs a place to live--namely, Marten's couch. Before long, he meets Faye's sultry, gothy boss Dora Bianchi, and they have fun, hang out, and joke around.

Then, beginning at strip 500, [[WhamEpisode everything changes]]. The fallout of a tense moment leads to a cascade of plot developments that defines the rest of the strip and helps start a gradual shift from having Marten and Faye as the main protagonists to having a full-fledged EnsembleCast. And then just when you thought everything was safe, there's [[WhamEpisode another major shakeup]] at strip 1800, after which the comic's science fiction elements, which had always been present, really begin to move to the foreground.

One of the most prolific and [[WebcomicsLongRunners longest running webcomics]] out there, with over 4600 installments over 18 years and counting, QC has evolved into a humorous ongoing chronicle of the lives of a group of twenty-somethings, as they deal with life, fall in and out of love, and maintain a healthy level of sarcasm. It would almost be a SliceOfLife comic if the cast didn't include a growing number of robot characters grappling with the post-Singularity coexistence of humans and AIs.

QC updates every weekday, with remarkable consistency considering that Jacques very rarely has a buffer and usually draws the comic--on live webcast--that night.

Six print collections are currently out, featuring re-lettered and sometimes re-drawn (as the art has gotten remarkably better over time) versions of the first arcs.

Jeph debuted a new comic, ''Webcomic/AliceGrove'', on September 25th 2014, which was sometimes advertised under the QC strips; it ended in 2017. During October and November of 2015 he also did a comic called ''[[http://dord.horse DORD]]'' which seems to have been abandoned.

Loosely connected to ''Webcomic/DieselSweeties'' by way of Faye's sister Amanda's brief fling with Li'l Sis and a couple of maybe-canon[[note]]Jeph Jacques refused to say whether they were canon or not, explicitly messing with readers.[[/note]] guest strips by [[Webcomic/SomethingPositive Randy Milholland]]. [[Webcomic/ScaryGoRound Shelly Winters and Amy Chilton]] have been spotted [[http://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=519 on holiday in Northampton]] as well. Also, the AIs may have something to do with it, somewhere. Some occasional appearances of the cast in Webcomic/{{Shortpacked}} also occur.
