Questonable Content

Questionable Content is a nifty little comic, that fits into a very particular niche. It's a story based comic (the link will take you to the beginning of the archives), about some twentysomethings. More importantly, some twentysomethings who like music. This isn't, however, a webcomic about music- more like one that revolves around music. So if you don't have at least a minor interest in indie music, or indeed music of any kind, then you might not enjoy this comic so much (although having said that a random hop through the archive mostly puts the lie to my words).

However, there is much more to this comic. It is very funny. The humour does not solidify in a punchline like many strips, with Jacques prefering to make each panel amusing. There might be a punchline of some sort, but it might come mid-comic, or if it comes at the end, it will not be all it was building up to.

Also, there is the story. It is similar to something positive, in that it is set in a mostly real world, so the story is about the evolution of relationships rather than a quest to stop evil from overrunning the world. Which I prefer. It is mostly light hearted, although recently there has been a revelation, of Faye, the heroine's past, which until now has remained a mystery. Not only was this a mystery, it was also discussed all over the blogsphere. Which to be honest is something that happens a lot with webcomics these days.

Anyway, as I say, this is probably not for everyone, but it is very enjoyable if you like it's style.
