I dropped Questionable Content a long time ago. A few months after Dora and Martin got together, I think. I was still enjoying the humor, but I really wasn't interested in Faye's relationship with Sven and Angus (I'd been rooting for her and Martin to hook up, and I felt like her characterization really took a hit from "cool, smart chick with a few problems" to "confused girl who can't figure out basic human relationships") and I wasn't really a huge fan of Dora and she was being featured quite a bit more often. Hannelore was cute at first but then Marigold was introduced and it was just kind of tiresome.

Every once in a while I check the characters page, thinking I'll get back into it, but there's such a huge cast now and the only character that wasn't a massive tool when I quit was Martin.

Questionable Content is one of the only really old popular webcomics that I still read - the only one that I was reading when I was in high school that I still read today. And I totally get where you're coming from with this critique - for a long time I was essentially checking it out of rote habit, just completely bored with it, I was on the verge of stopping reading it.

But I have to say - it has improved immensely - IMMENSELY - since when you quit it, IMO, if you quit when Dora and Marten got together. The Dora and Marten relationship was boring and stagnant. But Jeph, to his enormous credit, made a change. At some point, Dora and Marten broke up, and from there the strip has just gotten massively better - it's gotten more dynamic, most of the new characters are much more interesting, and what's been going on with Dora and Marten has been more interesting to me (and also Dora has become a more secondary character again). There are a lot of new characters, but I mostly find them pretty solid.

I have to say, I have enormous respect for Jeph, because he really seems to be incredibly devoted to improving the strip. On the artistic side, the art is literally unrecognizable from when it started, and he has kept improving and kept improving for the whole run of the strip. And on the writing side, he's been willing to make major changes in an attempt to make the strip work. He could have been satisfied with stagnation. He could have kept the strip comfy and same-y with the same dynamics and jokes and the same static, simple art and probably made a living off it. But instead he's taken risks and he's worked hard to improve things, and I think it's made a huge difference in the strip. He's a webcomics artist that I really admire, because for a long time the strip was super mediocre and it's not anymore because of his hard work.

Dora and Marten finally broke up and oh my god the comic is so much better for it. I hated that pairing.

I didn't like that pairing either, but I also don't like the fact that he has introduced lots of new characters after the fact. It feels like a crutch at this point, tbh.
