Directember: The Good Old Days

Lol at 2009 Jeph looking back at earlier comics with a sense of nostalgia

he had no idea

Directember: The Good Old Days

Comments

That would be a fun time machine experience.

SilverbackRon

I was sad at first but then pretty quickly glad. Their relationshit was starting to make me really dislike Dora.

15 years later, 2024 Jeph speaks foreboding at 2009 Jeph. I Wonder what 2039 Jeph Will say looking back at Directember! ”Why didn’t I do this 15 years earlier”

legobil

Oh this is funny. Lately I've been rereading a lot of the older comics and had just gotten to the original of this one. I then wanted to have a look at the latest and ended up with the exact same comic. I was a bit confused at first.

Morganna

I have his shirt! I don’t know what it means but I like it!

John M Davis

Happy Holidays to all! I hope you are having a good time.

SilverbackRon

Me too. Their breakup seemed so infuriating at the time. Which is exactly what Jeph was going for. I am glad we got both Tai and Claire in exchange. Totally worth it.

SilverbackRon

Weren't the Telepathic Laser Crustaceans one of the secret weapons of Doctor Laser Vengeance?

Captain Button

Three years, I think. No, probably more like six. I'd get up to check the card in my wallet, but I can't stand the cracking of my knees and back this late in the evening. Gave up my mouse for a trackball years ago, so I'm good, so long as my thumb and index finger keep working. Oh, and one more thing: GET OFF MY LAWN!

BobC

It's odd. I came to QC when Jeph did a guest strip for another comic I was following. I forget which one! Similarly, I came to DoA a couple nanoseconds after Dina made an appearance in QC. Dina is my inner dinosaur! Where has all the cross-comic traffic gone? Are we (and Jeph, by association) getting old?

BobC

I lucked in at number two or three, and I still think of this as an early one.

David

I love how the crop of Marten's hair in panel 2 makes it look like it is moving along with his expression.

Trevor Key

♫ Cause it's December the 24th And I'm longing to be up North ♫ Wait. Yesterday morning it was 2F. I think I'm far enough North now. Enjoy the holidays, and the archive dives Jeph is setting off.

ValdVin

I remember being really sad when Martin and Dora broke up, but now I'm happy with how things have turned out. ~<3

Mitsuki Ayane

I oddly have more respect for Marten than I did before knowing he has three of these...

Brendan Luster

At least two. Possibly three, according to the news post. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=2614

BookBeard

For that matter, Roko is presumably also still working there as Elliot's apprentice. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=3961

BookBeard

Well, Eliot presumably still works at the Secret Bakery. And Roko, presumably, still has a thing about bread.

Ursus Ridens

Two, so far, but my problem is disability. Only another year and a half, however, before I get it for real!

Am Queue

He had two! Pretty sure he was dressing for the party he went to with Tai? Dora was there? Nope…date with Claire? Help us, BookBeard Kenobi, you’re our only hope!

Darren Franzen

I've been on it for 18 years. Almost as long as this strip has been running. I retired 5 years before that, before this strip started.

Carl G Knoblock

13 and counting…

FreeReedz

How many of those shirts did he have? It couldn't have been just one for all those years.

Carl G Knoblock

I'm on my second year of Medicare, I'm fucking old. How many years have you been on it? 😜

Opus the Poet

I'm tellin' you, everybody wants a big ol' claw!

enchantedsleeper

Merry Christmas!!

enchantedsleeper

100%!!

enchantedsleeper

These two xD

enchantedsleeper

"Oh man, the early days of QC before everyone became telepathic laser crustaceans"

Dean Reilly

Been there, done that, Marten's got the t-shirt

Michael Steamweed

I miss the Secret Bakery. We need more of them in our lives.

Michael Steamweed

I would love to know what year 1 Jeph would think if he saw this months time travel through QC.

Aerin Moriarty

15 years is plenty distant

Brian Yaras

Yes! The the good 'ol days are so very often overlooked until someone breaks through the lense of nostalgia.

Carrie

Don't worry about the sense of nostalgia, it probably just means you need to clean the espresso machine. https://www.questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=1941

BookBeard

Merry Xmas, questionable content-consumers!

William Cole

I started reading QC around #400, and I thought of this strip as "one of the early ones", only to realize it came over 1000 comics after I started reading! Time is so weird in QC Land.

BobC

Damn, this has been part of my life for YEARS 👀

Studio Errilhl

You'll be looking back on these posts in another 15 years and laughing at them, too.

MVTookie

🤘🥳🤘

Carrie

teh

Brendan Luster

Ah yes, the good odd days... of distant 2009... :)

Leak

Holy hell, I can't believe it's been that long! I'm fucking old.

BigBoats

More like NOstalgia amirite

Magic Chopstick Games

It gets me too I remember when this was new at this point. I don't think I had met my wife yet.

Randall Norman Pick

21 years to date, huh. What a journey. And with luck, there's more to go over the horizon ❤️

Smile Dip

The good old days are what's happening

Brian Yaras

This month has been a fun retro of the way the comic has changed over the years. It's wild how much the characters have grown 💜

Zeph

Merry Christmas, Jeph!

Skye

No idea.
