Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit.

The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

I imagine this is what Coronation Street fans feel.

I'm really starting to dislike Marigold, her irrational dislike of Dale is getting old.

This new virtual companion character could be interesting though. I hope it's not just a short-lived gag.

This entire comic is getting old.
Fixed that for ya.

Though I still read it and probably will continue to do so for the foreseeable future :U

Yuuuup. It's like a soap opera-tier thing where nothing happens, but "oh might as well see what they're doing today."

Well, it's at least three weeks long, Necare. >_>

Marigold is just a caricature of reclusive gamers who have adopted autistic mannerisms due to their self-imposed isolation. Oh, wait, it's not even a caricature. Yeah, Marigold annoys me, too. >_>

Also, I hope that this is going to be Jeph getting more into worldbuilding the QC universe in regards to the role of AI in their world and how it is (or isn't) regulated. I like his worldbuilding arcs. They're much more interesting than "LOL FAYE IS A BITCH, LOL MARTIN IS A hot hunk of manmeatGOT, LOL HANNELORE IS OCD. ALSO, LGTB PANDERING NONSTOP."

Of course it's not world-building. It's boobs.

Sooo... others can't see her, but I assume they can hear her responses -- that she's using a speaker instead of telepathy. So no, Dale really wouldn't look THAT crazy.
gg, Jeph

Thanks Poui.

So he's programmed a virtual maid program into his freaky glowing glasses, to respond to him as would a tsundere from an anime.

That is what people will think, if he talks aloud in public and they hear her responses.

Aye, but even so.

They'll still react to him in much the same way as he implied.

I'd like to point out that the subtext of a previous comic talked about Dale's enormous Magical Love Gentleman collection.

At this point, the comic needs a token functional hetero. All of the existing hetero characters aren't written like real human beings (Hannelore*, that Asian whose name I forget, Marigold), or are minor characters in the webcomic (the 12-year-old's dad, Sven, Marten**).

* Come to think of it, isn't she asexual?
** The last major event that happened to Marten was he got a guitar. Before that it was getting a job at a college library. The library was a device to introduce more characters. The guitar has done nothing.

I'm sure that's just going to come up later as something for him to bond with Marigold over.

And eh, that really doesn't bother me too much. But lol @ Martin being a minor character. An inconsequential character, sure, but he's still in like every panel.
But I'm not going to make it some kind of "straight rights issue" because there's no "hetero" character. =P

Also Emily's probably asexual, given that she didn't get "sleep with Martin"

EDIT: What about Faye and Angus, Adna?

I'm pretty sure Adna was being tongue-in-cheek. And he's right about Marten; at this point, he's less of a character and more of a decoration. Something to fill the panels so Jeph doesn't have to draw more intricate backgrounds :awe:

The new character is an asshole. If she doesn't get further character development, she's going to be really boring :c

I was only half-joking. Faye isn't even remotely functional, and Angus, one of the most fascinating characters in the comic right now, is on the back burner due to the story spending time with the WoW characters, one of which has been made more interesting than the other in a fraction of the amount of screentime that the other has received thus far. Chew on that sentence for a while - done yet? K, Dale is a million times better than Marigold. We have hardworking WoW player (!?) with a potentially tragic backstory versus unidimensional "hi I am a walking parody" Marigold.

Truly, I think Marten has been relegated to being the universal foil for the strip, if we want to be a little bit more generous than calling him "decoration."

Well, I found something good about QC.

Odds are any band that Jeph dislikes in his twitter feed is probably interesting compared to a lot of the usual deathcore crap:

Which isn't saying much at all, but Jeph pls
