Holiday Week Break Thoughts
Added 2020-12-22 20:16:05 +0000 UTCHello friends! As you may know, I traditionally take the week between Christmas and New Year's "off," which in practice means running old Patreon stuff on the main site so I can use those days to build up my buffer. But that would also mean I don't really have anything to give YOU all that you haven't already seen, and I feel kind of bad about that? So I'd appreciate your feedback! Thanks!
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO DO FOR PATREON NEXT WEEK:
Comments
Right? it was literally a 3:1 ratio in favour of taking a break. I love the time lapses but I hope there's some of that well deserved R&R in there that Jeph implied/promised he'd take.
kupo
2020-12-30 01:20:09 +0000 UTCI love how literally thousands of us say: Take. The dang. Week off! And so you give us incredibly cool animations of the drawing process as you work on your buffer. Which are gorgeous, don't get me wrong, but I hope they're not extra work for you!
Fay Roberts
2020-12-28 03:15:35 +0000 UTCBring back yelling bird. This year must have come out of his cloaca. It’s only fitting that he pinch it off.
Joshua
2020-12-27 06:43:36 +0000 UTCOld but unpublished Ollie pix. So you've still got no obligations for the week, but we get more Ollie.
Eric Lusby
2020-12-24 18:12:28 +0000 UTCEveryone deserves rest and decompression! Ten-fold so this year.
Sarah Manx
2020-12-24 15:44:20 +0000 UTCPlease do just take the week off, but I’m never not going to vote for more Ollie pix.
2020-12-24 10:54:03 +0000 UTCRelaaaaax, man.
Rodrigo Ourcilleon
2020-12-24 06:49:52 +0000 UTCTake a week off or robot butts.
Penguin
2020-12-24 00:28:00 +0000 UTCI would love to see random/new/Christmas stuff... but, to be honest, after the year we've all had? Just have a break, my dude, and enjoy it! :) Merry Christmas, Jeph, and we'll see you in the New Year x
David Warren
2020-12-23 23:49:36 +0000 UTCHave a rest! it's well deserved.
2020-12-23 23:39:05 +0000 UTCTake the week; you've already given us our money's worth in content. Enjoy the break, and we'll look forward to new material in 2021.
Jeffry
2020-12-23 23:12:42 +0000 UTCThis year's been a suckfest. Give yourself a little down time.
Ruth Merriam
2020-12-23 23:08:38 +0000 UTCAs someone who obsessively reads every bit of text, I'd love to get your unspoken afterthoughts you've never had occasion to share with us. But feel free to get plenty of R&R. You've done great work this year, as always!
Adorbium
2020-12-23 22:59:40 +0000 UTCBUT, if you'd just like some time off, maybe you could do some of that as a treat for the time AFTER New Year;s is over, for the next week... and maybe even work on the buffer a bit more? If there's stuff you could show at no effort, without having to work up commentary, that would be cool too. just so there's something new to look at each day? How about re-running the strip that shows the main introduction strip for the last 5 new characters, with a link back to it, so we can re-read those arcs? See how far those characters have come, since their introduction? Yay is a fun one. :)
Kerin Schiesser
2020-12-23 22:51:33 +0000 UTCBut I'm cool with option 3 too. If you get bored, or think up some funny or touching commentary you'd like to do, and have the time, I'd love to see some commentary of earlier strips, from the perspective of now, after a lot of character and story development is under the bridge.
Kerin Schiesser
2020-12-23 22:46:11 +0000 UTCSomeone else said they were joking, but im not. I wanna see skulls puking daggers!
2020-12-23 19:03:04 +0000 UTCIf for whatever reason you decide you can't just take off for the week, I encourage you to post sketches of your doggos.
Churchill (formerly TeaBear)
2020-12-23 18:55:43 +0000 UTCSkulls puking daggers! Kidding, kidding. Enjoy the holidays man. You've been a welcome respite from the chemical plant fire that has been 2020.
Tom Rosenbaum
2020-12-23 18:45:37 +0000 UTCDude yeah. Take your time when you can. It's a lesson I am trying to finally internalize for a whole lot of reasons right now myself.
2020-12-23 18:36:47 +0000 UTCThen there are us old, retired guys. I gotta agree with you, Jeph deserves a break. :)
Joseph Bonnar
2020-12-23 17:09:41 +0000 UTCWe wouldn't be here if we couldn't spare a few bucks every month. Obviously I can't speak for everyone, but statistically speaking, almost all of us probably have the ability to take time off when we want to. You deserve the same! (So does everyone else, for that matter!) Take a load off, enjoy your holidays, and we'll see you next year. =)
Cogspace
2020-12-23 17:01:09 +0000 UTCTake the week. Time well earned and deserved. See you when 2020 ends.
Haunted Hermit
2020-12-23 16:28:39 +0000 UTCTake the time off and enjoy the holidays! Thank you for your hard work the rest of the year!
Mari Toshimitsu
2020-12-23 16:27:08 +0000 UTCI voted "take the week off" - but maybe that makes you feel guilty, so I'll also accept sketch dumps/ollie pics/butts - basically whatever you've got cluttering up your hard drive and won't take you any time beyond hitting "post".
Cass
2020-12-23 16:00:05 +0000 UTCWhy shouldn't you get a week off? Relax.
Darren Stalder
2020-12-23 16:00:00 +0000 UTCI voted for 'Take it off' (wait, that came out weird...), but if anything doggo pics always amuse me. Just KISS (wait, now it's super-weird; I meant Keep It Super-Simple). Okay, just going to awkwardly wander away, before I discover what goes into your mouth after both feet are already in there (crap, crap, crap, super-extra weird.) Shutting up now.
Eric Bogerd
2020-12-23 15:47:22 +0000 UTCtake some time to recharge, Jeph!! a few Ollie pics or new lil doodles are more than appreciated, of course, but you do so much for us all year! we wanna see you having a good time and relaxing too :)
Kurt Lewis
2020-12-23 14:57:26 +0000 UTCeither take off, or doggo pictures. either works. :D
2020-12-23 12:28:42 +0000 UTCWhile anything you wanted to put up would be great, you give us amazing stuff every day. You deserve to have this time off to relax and take a break. We can always go to the main site for an archive binge if we get withdrawals.
Cacorias85
2020-12-23 12:22:33 +0000 UTCI'd love to have some commentary on old comics, but man, you give us so much already. Take some time off. Kick off your shoes, put your feet up. Lean back and just enjoy the melodies.
Matt Pedone
2020-12-23 12:09:59 +0000 UTCI went with time off. Cuz ^
AJ Sharma
2020-12-23 09:34:04 +0000 UTCTake the week off. Personally, I'm really looking forward to having a few days off starting tomorrow. Feel like Marten in his original job in the comic - The Office Bitch!
mano
2020-12-23 08:41:45 +0000 UTCEnjoy your break Jeph!
2020-12-23 08:36:12 +0000 UTCRest your hand, rest your brain, enjoy some time for yourself man. Marty could use a break from the library too.
AJ Saint
2020-12-23 08:32:11 +0000 UTCTake it off!
Onyx
2020-12-23 08:05:55 +0000 UTCTake some time off, you deserve it!
verenka
2020-12-23 07:59:15 +0000 UTCSame, some random lewds would be fun but nothing is necessary.
Fuzzy Logik
2020-12-23 07:37:26 +0000 UTCI hope you take time off, and have a wonderful time if you do!
Mooster
2020-12-23 06:43:25 +0000 UTCTake some time to recharge! I'll just go to the main site and re-read Hannelore's roomba arc.
Bagge
2020-12-23 06:26:54 +0000 UTCRelax. Spend time with loved ones. Get inspired. Come back super charged!
David Hernandez
2020-12-23 04:46:46 +0000 UTCTake your time, dude... but at some point I would love to see some NSFW May New Bod pics
Jeff Gedney
2020-12-23 04:39:53 +0000 UTCYou deserve some time without having to think or create or post. Take a break and don't think about Patreon for a while!
Desiree Conceicao
2020-12-23 04:36:34 +0000 UTCNaaaa... WORK! I want my money's worth! Ollie pix!
2020-12-23 04:33:24 +0000 UTCRest is important for everyone, and creative works especially require a break now and again. You deserve time off just as much as anybody else.
JPGer
2020-12-23 04:27:29 +0000 UTCTake a well deserved week totally off. Enjoy being unplugged as much as possible, give Ollie all the attention, well most of it at least lol. We love your work and we will all be waiting when you get back. Take some time to yourself.
2020-12-23 03:53:35 +0000 UTCGod Rest Ye, Merry Gentlebot. Let nothing you dismay.
2020-12-23 03:26:58 +0000 UTCI seriously love this community! The vote totals and the comments above show just how amazing everyone is. Much love to all, see you in 2021!
William Karr
2020-12-23 03:18:31 +0000 UTCWait! I wanna change my answer. I want this instead. Lol
2020-12-23 02:37:06 +0000 UTCTake the week off, play with Ollie, and then post some pics of him.
ljdbjlasfbjk
2020-12-23 02:33:46 +0000 UTCTake the time off if you need it, but I would also love to see you just ramble commentary on your comics.
Raphael Bressel
2020-12-23 02:27:40 +0000 UTCTake it off, you deserve it
DP23
2020-12-23 02:12:05 +0000 UTCYou deserve a week off. We’ll be here when you get back!
Christopher Wolfe
2020-12-23 02:10:58 +0000 UTCI think you should take a break. I don't mean just an interruption in posting, but an actual, stop working and stop thinking about work holiday.
2020-12-23 02:10:14 +0000 UTCLegit dude, just take some time off
Drewbacca
2020-12-23 02:09:33 +0000 UTCWe genuinely like you and want you to have a break.
Christopher Bowen
2020-12-23 02:00:30 +0000 UTCI cant find the option for "post butts". So I guess the week off will do. Save the butts for a new year.
Steamin' cup o' nut-wet, now with double the orcus chunks!
2020-12-23 01:54:55 +0000 UTCPlease Jeph, take the week off. You've totally earned it.
ducksauz
2020-12-23 01:52:48 +0000 UTCDitto. After nearly two decades of QC five days a week nobody is going to begrudge a one week absence. But Ollie pics will certainly be more than welcome. Happy Festivus to you and yours, Jeph :D
2020-12-23 01:39:07 +0000 UTCI was hoping for select illustrated pages from the book of Human/Robot sexual relations..... But time off is good to....
Noctusxx
2020-12-23 01:35:05 +0000 UTCEnjoy the time off!
Raissa
2020-12-23 01:10:58 +0000 UTCHappy holidays! Take the week off!
2020-12-23 01:05:21 +0000 UTCOllie pictures will never go unappreciated, but for real — we’ll all be good, take the week off if you fancy it :)
pfreya
2020-12-23 01:01:37 +0000 UTCWow. Y’all are too nice to this guy.
Brian
2020-12-23 00:57:55 +0000 UTCMost of us get to take a week of work, so of course you should as well. That being said, I will never say no to a few more pictures of Ollie the Low-Poly Collie :-)
Peter Jensen
2020-12-23 00:57:24 +0000 UTCI'm on Team Take the Week Off. If you have some Ollie pix handy it would be fun to see them, but don't sweat it and absolutely don't spend more than five or ten minutes on it. (Just for clarity, that's 5-10 minutes over the week, not per day. Sorry, I'm bad at this sometimes.) Take care of yourself and we'll see you in 2021.
tellumo
2020-12-23 00:57:05 +0000 UTCTake your time and enjoy it! If you can share a little Ollie with us, in the meantime, we’ll love you even more than we already do. PS- it was such a delight to see Martin reappear at the library the other day... I love where QC has gone, but I do sometimes miss the good ol’ days with just him and Pintsize.
Melissa Wilson
2020-12-23 00:45:32 +0000 UTCRest and relax please. Enjoy your time with the pupper.
Jason Hunter
2020-12-23 00:36:00 +0000 UTCTake a break. Enjoy family and friends if you can
Dave Kekish
2020-12-23 00:35:41 +0000 UTCmore robot butts butts butts
Michael Keogh
2020-12-23 00:29:45 +0000 UTCAfter all the joy you've brought in an awful year, sit back and relaaaaaaaaax
Scott Kenney
2020-12-23 00:20:06 +0000 UTCOn second thought, just take the week off, OK? You deserve it.
Ron Braithwaite
2020-12-23 00:18:02 +0000 UTCAll of these options are excellent! :) But really you do need to rest and take a break!
Ali Grotkowski
2020-12-23 00:03:40 +0000 UTCSeriously, Jeph, just take the week off! You’ve more than earned it!! Just give Ollie some extra snacks from us. 😄
Mandy Hoskins
2020-12-22 23:56:06 +0000 UTCYou deserve a peaceful break! Blessings all ways and always!
2020-12-22 23:51:24 +0000 UTCI have to say, out of every online community I have ever seen, none have ever been as positive, accepting, and supportive as this comments section. I love how every comment here is literally "We'll appreciate any gift you want to give us, but seriously take the week off." You've created a great community with your great works, Jeph. I'm grateful to experience both. Thank you and have a great holiday.
kupo
2020-12-22 23:50:15 +0000 UTCIt would be cool if you could run some stuff you already have done, stuff that takes minimal effort, but otherwise yeah, take a break.
Yelling Bird
2020-12-22 23:42:00 +0000 UTCI think the summary is: take the week off, but if you feel like dumping one of the above (Ollie pix seems to be the trend) or even something not in the above, go for it.
kaitou
2020-12-22 23:41:02 +0000 UTCYou need a holiday <3
2020-12-22 23:38:21 +0000 UTCTake the week off, aaaaaaabsolutely [...just sayin', though: Elliot deserves something Extra Special this year, please alert Robot Santa at some future date]
2020-12-22 23:35:22 +0000 UTCWould not object to Ollie pics, but you should take time off
2020-12-22 23:35:19 +0000 UTCok I voted rerun but actually take the week off my dude you've been entertaining us regularly for forever u deserve the break
Dave, Duke of Fridges
2020-12-22 23:25:21 +0000 UTCTake a week off. Even though I'll miss the regular daily dose, we all need some off time in our jobs.
2020-12-22 23:22:12 +0000 UTCBasically it's all been said. Do what's easiest. That's probably just taking the week off. :D (wouldn't mind ollie pix or reruns but everybody needs a bit time off in a while, so don't feel bad!)
Ye Olde Phart
2020-12-22 23:15:53 +0000 UTCTake some time off, but do what's best for you.
Hugh Eckert
2020-12-22 23:10:47 +0000 UTCOllie pics if they're easy, although I follow you on Twitter and probably see'em all there. But take the week off and chill - you deserve it.
Jason Zions
2020-12-22 23:10:40 +0000 UTCIf it's an easy thing to turn on comic reruns, go for it, otherwise, kick back w family and relax over the holiday. We'll all still be here when ya get back. Merry Christmas, Jeph.

2020-12-22 23:07:08 +0000 UTCGlad to see the majority agrees
2020-12-22 23:05:30 +0000 UTCYou need a break as much as the rest of us.
awgiedawgie
2020-12-22 23:02:46 +0000 UTCI want ollie pix, but I want you to have a holiday. I voted correctly.
Errol Lobo
2020-12-22 23:02:40 +0000 UTCPersonally either take the time off or just upload some old patreon exclusive stuff. It’s your holiday too
SheepFace2000
2020-12-22 22:53:31 +0000 UTCThank you for all your hard work, but you need some rest to be able to give us your awesomeness in the future to come. Take some time of and care for yourself. It's important!
Michal
2020-12-22 22:52:52 +0000 UTCBring back the cussing bird and the angry girl. They were a hoot
2020-12-22 22:50:29 +0000 UTCCold turkey...but just for a week. We can handle it, man!
Qixotic
2020-12-22 22:47:31 +0000 UTCWhatever you decide to do (or whatever the poll decides for you), I hope it is relaxing and recharging for you. You deserve it!

2020-12-22 22:39:31 +0000 UTCVoted to take the week off, but something with Alice Grove, one day, maybe? Still ready to buy the book.
Kyle Stephens
2020-12-22 22:38:36 +0000 UTCBembo! HAM IS BEST! Seriously though, have a week off, we all need it!
2020-12-22 22:33:22 +0000 UTCTake the week off, obviously! You give us an incredible story all year long. Take a break, rest, enjoy yourself! ......... But Olie pix is def my second answer
Brittany Huckey
2020-12-22 22:31:38 +0000 UTCEveryone deserves a break. Take some time off. Chill at the beach and let your robot butler brings you Mai Tais while your other robot butler rubs your feet. You deserve it.
Tom wilson
2020-12-22 22:26:07 +0000 UTCJeph, your comic is one of the highlights of my day, but you deserve every bit of rest you can get--take a break!
2020-12-22 22:22:33 +0000 UTCHave a nice break, you have definitely earned it
2020-12-22 22:21:58 +0000 UTCI love the comic, rest up and ring in the new year with new energy!
2020-12-22 22:21:40 +0000 UTCOllie pics is good. Kevin pics are even better.
Miyaa
2020-12-22 22:18:50 +0000 UTCEnjoy your week off and relax! Thanks for all the hard work you do.
Jen D
2020-12-22 22:13:18 +0000 UTCIf you get bored, throw up old comics with commentaries. If Ollie does something photo worthy, throw it up. If neither happens, put your feet up and we can go chuckle at vintage QC christmasses. I still keep ...whichever year was Randy and the Shame Orb... on hand mentally if I need to make myself chuckle.
Just some Fish
2020-12-22 22:13:13 +0000 UTCEnjoy the week, Jeph. Thanks for everything.
2020-12-22 22:12:02 +0000 UTCTake some time off and spend time with those you love
2020-12-22 22:08:59 +0000 UTCI was 100% going to put rest, but Ollie pix are amazing.

2020-12-22 21:46:12 +0000 UTCI vote take a well-deserved break! If you happen to share some Ollie pics, that's nice, but not necessary!
2020-12-22 21:45:41 +0000 UTCI needs all the cute doggo pix, though :3
2020-12-22 21:45:29 +0000 UTCTake the time! ...but if there was a dog pic, i wouldn't be mad about it....
2020-12-22 21:44:36 +0000 UTCI voted Ollie Pix but there's no reason you shouldn't get to take a break every now and then!
Agnes
2020-12-22 21:40:36 +0000 UTCEnjoy some time off, you deserve it!
2020-12-22 21:39:37 +0000 UTCTake a break. You deserve some time off to recharge. :-)

Aran Fielder
2020-12-22 21:23:25 +0000 UTCI'm on PTO but work keeps bugging me anyway. One of the hazards of being project-critical, I guess. I say, if you've got the option, just shut everything down and relax.
Steve DeGroof
2020-12-22 21:22:43 +0000 UTCI'm totally cool with you taking a break. You earned it! I mean i wouldn't turn down dog pictures, but don't stress.

2020-12-22 21:21:48 +0000 UTCI wouldn't turn anything down, but a break during these times does feel like the most appropriate response. We all need some extra care, this is your chance to recharge.

2020-12-22 21:21:25 +0000 UTCHonestly, take a break! I'm taking some days, so should you! That said, if you've prepped commentary on strips you've already made? Oh I am INTO that shit
Dallin
2020-12-22 21:21:08 +0000 UTCTake a break and thanks for an awesome comic... although offering pup pics is entincing,but you deserve to relax!

2020-12-22 21:17:06 +0000 UTCIt's the holidays. Take a vacation
J Andrade
2020-12-22 21:16:35 +0000 UTCSee you next year!
CW Foxfaer
2020-12-22 21:14:45 +0000 UTCChill out and relax, you deserve it.
Meredith Conran
2020-12-22 21:14:32 +0000 UTCIf you have time, I'd love to see old comics with new commentary, but you deserve to have time off, so feel free to do that. We'll be here when you get back!
Matt Donaldson
2020-12-22 21:13:14 +0000 UTCYou deserve a break too, Jeph. This year sucks and my support isn’t going anywhere. Take time for you. ^_^
Steph W
2020-12-22 21:11:42 +0000 UTCDoggie! please...
Douglas E. Smith
2020-12-22 21:10:06 +0000 UTCJust have a good holiday, I can live with a week off and you deserve it for the 51 other weeks (damn I'd hate to have only a week a year, we're greedy expecting that). Merry Christmas
Cynical Rhys
2020-12-22 21:08:47 +0000 UTC(you can vote for multiple options btw)
2020-12-22 21:07:34 +0000 UTCI too am in category "You should absolutely take the week off! But if you're gonna dangle 'Ollie Pics' in front of us as an option..."
2020-12-22 21:05:02 +0000 UTCTake a nap and enjoy holidays!
David Martelli
2020-12-22 21:04:49 +0000 UTCI love the random button on QC, that'll hold us over till you get back.
2020-12-22 21:04:38 +0000 UTCTake the week. It's been a hell of a year, and we all deserve some down time.
Ted Van Roekel
2020-12-22 21:02:28 +0000 UTCHave a holiday, dude!
Simon Green
2020-12-22 21:01:51 +0000 UTCHappy for you to have the week off... Wouldn't say no to some Ollie pics though 😉
Rosilin
2020-12-22 21:01:33 +0000 UTCI was going to say just take the time off, but if you're going to offer Ollie pix, then that's what I have to vote for!
Peggy Youell
2020-12-22 21:01:09 +0000 UTCDo whatever feels good for you with no obligation :3
2020-12-22 20:57:43 +0000 UTCTake time off. Personally I will just reread older portions and keep an eye on twitter for ollie pictures.
2020-12-22 20:55:07 +0000 UTCI'm kinda torn between "Take the week off" and "Ollie pix." I'm gonna go with "Take the time off and I won't complain if Ollie happens to step in front of the camera."
That Blair Guy
2020-12-22 20:55:00 +0000 UTCI was gonna vote for just take time off until I saw Ollie pics as an option!! And how can I resist doggo pictures?? Just take care of yourself, and share dog pix if you feel like it.
Shana Hausman
2020-12-22 20:54:12 +0000 UTCSince Questionable Content is one of the highlights of my daily routine, and has been for years, this week is hard for me. Since some of my other webcomics also take this week as convenient vacation, it's extra hard for me. HOWEVER, you need to take care of yourself. Take the week off. We'll deal with it.
Jeremy Westerfield
2020-12-22 20:53:41 +0000 UTCFor sure take the week off. But in the future if you want to run a light week that you don't want to take completely off, a "commentary track" revisit of some older strips would be awesome!
2020-12-22 20:53:37 +0000 UTCReally! Just take some down time. You more than deserve it! And thank you for so generously sharing all the brilliance you are!
David Neale-Lorello
2020-12-22 20:52:52 +0000 UTCSee you in Jan.
2020-12-22 20:52:04 +0000 UTCTake a break! But if an Ollie pic or two strikes your fancy, I'm sure no one will object.
TwoRavens
2020-12-22 20:51:51 +0000 UTCBe happy
Stephen Tihor
2020-12-22 20:50:52 +0000 UTCBut not too many. I mean, if you gave Ollie a couple pats for each of us, I think that'd be hard on both of you. One from each of us would probably still be excessive.
Some Ed
2020-12-22 20:50:17 +0000 UTCLike most other comments, take a well deserved break and optionally share some doggo pics :)
2020-12-22 20:49:37 +0000 UTCHave a great break Jeph, we'll see you in the New Year. Take it easy x
2020-12-22 20:49:19 +0000 UTCThe new commentary on old comics would be great at any time -- would love to see how your earlier work foreshadowed the current situation. (Plus, it would give you a chance to show off your brilliance :)) But you are entitled to a break, too.
Amanda Miller
2020-12-22 20:49:09 +0000 UTCTake a break! Unless Kevin pics are an option, then Kevin pics.
The Killustrator
2020-12-22 20:49:03 +0000 UTCBreak. Obvs. But also all the ollie pictures in the entire world.
Kara Coryell
2020-12-22 20:48:55 +0000 UTCDo whatever makes you the happiest, please.
2020-12-22 20:48:14 +0000 UTCThank you for asking, but maybe don't work for a week? We'll be here waiting when you get back. :)
Maurice Kessler
2020-12-22 20:47:51 +0000 UTCNsfw option was not listed, so enjoy the downtime.
Tim Eldred
2020-12-22 20:47:26 +0000 UTCI wanted to say "Ollie pics" but I also want you to take a break, you deserve time off! If you post doggo photos I won't be mad, though.
Creepy Cat Lady
2020-12-22 20:46:36 +0000 UTCMandatory break with optional Ollie pix
2020-12-22 20:45:56 +0000 UTCAs others have said, this time should be your own. If you need to post, we’ll happily read, but your time off is important and you should take it without worrying about us!
2020-12-22 20:45:27 +0000 UTCHow about this: take a break, and if you feel like sending us doggo pics, then do so. But don't feel obligated to do so.
drone r0m-3
2020-12-22 20:45:06 +0000 UTCmy real answer is nothing, but if pup pics are an option, well, I don't know that I can say no to that (seriously, take a break it's fine we're fine)
Egg Tats
2020-12-22 20:43:11 +0000 UTCDude. Take the break. You've earned it, I don't think anyone here would begrudge it, and man after THIS YEAR? Yeah.
Karel P Kerezman
2020-12-22 20:42:42 +0000 UTCGet yourself your favorite hot beverage and lean back - you earned it. If you really feel like giving us a treat, you'll do it anyway. ;) ... a few new Stelliferous-Tracks? XD
2020-12-22 20:41:26 +0000 UTCTaking the week totally off would be fine, but also my heart won't let me *not* select the "dog pics" option.

PlasticArmyMan
2020-12-22 20:39:58 +0000 UTCI'd love to see sketches and stuff but like, my dude, take the week off.
Robert Zellers
2020-12-22 20:39:31 +0000 UTCConsider it a week's paid vacation from your Patrons.
Joshua Bushman
2020-12-22 20:38:29 +0000 UTCKick back, learn to make glogg (Swedish mulled wine + aquavit). Bubbles could find the aroma -- stimulating ;-}
2020-12-22 20:38:22 +0000 UTCYou probably have plenty of Ollie pix to share AND take the week off!
Anthony Bond
2020-12-22 20:37:12 +0000 UTC2020 is insane. Take a break! We’ll all be here when you get back ☺️
2020-12-22 20:37:11 +0000 UTCIt's been a bitch of a year. You deserve the rest, mate. Enjoy the week off.
Rai Venne
2020-12-22 20:36:22 +0000 UTCI want you to relax.
2020-12-22 20:36:05 +0000 UTCJust chill fam, you've earned it

KCool
2020-12-22 20:33:20 +0000 UTCYou’ve earned a break
2020-12-22 20:32:48 +0000 UTCPlan to take the week off, but don't feel guilty if you feel the need to sketch an idea or two. I'm taking these two weeks off, my first time off for non-family reasons in over two years. I have no idea what to do with myself, but I figure that's part of the challenge, to grow my life outside work, and get caught up on non-work things I've been neglecting. The thing is, I love my day job, and I rarely feel any need to take more than weekends away from it. I have a stack of challenging problems to solve, and setting them aside is actually difficult, as they energize me rather than exhaust me. The hardest decision was to leave my laptop at work, to intentionally make it more difficult to work. Just opening it at home would guarantee hours of involvement. Unstructured time off can be tough! But I think I'm up to the challenge... Edit: Typos.
BobC
2020-12-22 20:32:12 +0000 UTCTake some time off; have a happy holidays and a great new year.
Matthew E. Virgin
2020-12-22 20:31:48 +0000 UTCYou deserve a break. We'll be okay. :)
Emily Kidney
2020-12-22 20:31:17 +0000 UTCI'm fine with you just taking the time off, but if you have some Ollie pics to post without any grief or effort, it'll keep the feed alive.

Brian Pickering
2020-12-22 20:30:50 +0000 UTCSave those excellent ideas for another time and take time for yourself! Everyone deserves a vacation after the year we've all had.
2020-12-22 20:30:43 +0000 UTCIn the future, I would love commentary content. But you should definitely take some time *fully* off.
alithyst
2020-12-22 20:30:42 +0000 UTCEnjoy your days off. Thank you for all the free comics over all those years (I only just recently became a patreon supporter, sorry).

2020-12-22 20:25:50 +0000 UTCI mean, you clearly deserve a week off. If you do doodling anyway, that would be fun to see, so I voted for it, but I'm not expecting like a full-blown character sketch or something.
Thomas A. Dennis
2020-12-22 20:25:46 +0000 UTCMy guy, I started reading QC back in 2008 and fell off the wagon in 2013 when Google Reader was kill. I recently restarted and read all of the archives in a couple of weeks. I realised that so much of my music tastes have been influenced by you. Also, I feel close to your comic because I've grown in very similar ways to some of the characters over the same time period. You've done a whole lot. Take a break and do NOT feel bad for it!
Ada Bean
2020-12-22 20:25:36 +0000 UTCMerry Christmas, Happy New Year, and take the fricking time off!
Jonathan Smith
2020-12-22 20:25:29 +0000 UTCBruh. You do so much for us all year long. Take yourself a good ol' break.

2020-12-22 20:25:20 +0000 UTCYou deserve a real week off! Thank you for entertaining us for the better part of two decades.
thelibrariancat
2020-12-22 20:25:05 +0000 UTCTake a break for sure but if you decide to post a few Ollie photos I won’t complain
2020-12-22 20:25:04 +0000 UTCIt's fucking 2020. Self-care is the name of the game. You gotta start next year off fresh 🙂

2020-12-22 20:24:36 +0000 UTCI came here to suggest a week off and very glad so many others have beaten me to it :)
2020-12-22 20:24:23 +0000 UTCTake the week man, everyone deserves a vacation and some time to recharge.
Dante T Coal
2020-12-22 20:23:35 +0000 UTCJeph, you work very hard to entertain us and make amazing art. Take the week off, enjoy yourself, don't burn yourself out. But, if you insist on posting just one or two things over the week, post best doggo Ollie.
2020-12-22 20:23:25 +0000 UTCNow hold on there, Bobbalooie! One week is fine, but two weeks gets into withdrawal territory.
2020-12-22 20:23:14 +0000 UTCTake the break, man, you've amused the hell out of us this year.
Gary Walker
2020-12-22 20:22:44 +0000 UTCTake the week off dang!!
simplygastly
2020-12-22 20:22:35 +0000 UTCI was going to go with the "take the week off" option, but I always look forward to the commentaries on your comics, so I'm being greedy and asking for more! 😂
2020-12-22 20:22:24 +0000 UTCAre guest strips not still a thing? I used to love those.
2020-12-22 20:22:23 +0000 UTCYou deserve the break!

Rob McBobson
2020-12-22 20:21:01 +0000 UTCOnly one week? Nah, everyone working as hard as you do deserves two weeks of paid vacation...
