Hamishmash Posted August 17, 2011 Author Posted August 17, 2011 I've talked to a few people now about the content in the series. I write it with my friend Chris and he likes the more dirty side of dark humour but seeing as I put more work into it then him I feel I have the right to over ride him. I want the series to have a dark, and sometimes slightly disturbing sense of humour, but I don't think I want to make it genuinely vulgar. In the last issue, Qinc was supposed to enjoy sneaking into Ween's bed to hug him but it sort of got a bit distorted. He doesn't rape him or anything, but even I felt it was a bit unnecessary. I might go back into the past issues and sort of... censor them a bit unless anyone thinks I should stop and keep it as it is?
Ellmeister Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 What other past issues might you change? The dry humping would probably be a good call to change but I can't recall any others you should think about changing.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 17, 2011 Posted August 17, 2011 Yeah, that part was a bit unclear, though I did figure it out after a second read. It did surprise me a bit, seeing as it seemed a bit grotesque even for this strip - but then again, the style and tone are pretty different to my tastes, so I wouldn't want to impose my own opinions on it. You know much better what's fitting and appropriate, and what isn't.
Hamishmash Posted August 19, 2011 Author Posted August 19, 2011 If you go to hamishmash.com/qinc you can now see the comic has been edited to remove the bad language ("slut", "pissy", "anus" and "genitals" are as far as we go). Tomorrow or before Monday's issue I am going to edit those 3 slightly confusing panels to make it a bit clearer and change what happens. Qinc is going to say he liked to dress up as a woman and play "husbands and wives" with Ween while he was sleeping. "You know? Hugged but under the covers... that's what husbands and wives do isn't it?" I actually think limiting yourself to being more suitable is actually more creative. A lot of this series comes from my love for Ren & Stimpy and their dark humour. But I forgot the reason I loved Ren & Stimpy is not because it was rude and crude but because of what they got away with. The funny thing about Ren & Stimpy is that it's a kids show but with a really adult sense of humour under the surface. I think that can be a lot funnier than just straight-out adult humour through and through.
The Peeps Posted August 19, 2011 Posted August 19, 2011 I think the husbands and wives line is funnier. It went a bit beyond creepiness for a bit there.
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 The joke works MUCH better this way! It makes Qinc seem more strange and lessens the WTF factor.
Hamishmash Posted August 21, 2011 Author Posted August 21, 2011 You can't win them all. Both versions will have their fans but I can only be true to my own style. There is a very key aspect to this story which is very UN-PG but I don't think I'll be changing that. But I'll not make it explicit... it might be creepier that way if you don't see everything.
Magnus Posted August 21, 2011 Posted August 21, 2011 I like the non-rapey version of the latest update, but I don't like how the narrator now sounds like Del Boy in the first update.
Ellmeister Posted August 22, 2011 Posted August 22, 2011 Good thing he wasn't looking through the eyes when the boy was bathing with him! :p
Hamishmash Posted August 23, 2011 Author Posted August 23, 2011 I've added character profiles to the " http://www.hamishmash.com/qinc " page. Here are a few.
Hamishmash Posted August 28, 2011 Author Posted August 28, 2011 10 points to anyone who can name the 80s film this issue is referencing.
ReZourceman Posted August 29, 2011 Posted August 29, 2011 Beautiful work, particularly the colouring and general visuals on 34.
Hamishmash Posted August 29, 2011 Author Posted August 29, 2011 Aww. Thank you. That really means a lot.
Hamishmash Posted September 5, 2011 Author Posted September 5, 2011 I'll be taking a break next week as per but Qinc will be back on Sept 19th!
Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 The plot is taking shape! It shall be interesting to follow where it goes next.
Magnus Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I'm not sure how burning down the orphanage would help him find Quinc. I don't think Zodiac Jack really thought it through.
The Peeps Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 I'm not sure how burning down the orphanage would help him find Quinc. I don't think Zodiac Jack really thought it through. Standard safety procedure is to all file out and hang around for a role call. OBVIOUSLY. Smart thinking from Zodiac Jack ;P
Magnus Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 He obviously wasn't aware of how this particular orphanage operates.
Hamishmash Posted September 9, 2011 Author Posted September 9, 2011 Zodiac Jack is an angry "man" and likes burning things. Those looking for answers to the whole Legion / League story line may be disappointed that next chapter is far more Qinc-heavy then this chapter.
Coolness Bears Posted September 9, 2011 Posted September 9, 2011 Fully up to date on Quinc, yes I call it Quinc. :p (sorreh.) btw I enjoy the dark/vulgar aspects to the story. I was just geninuely confused last time.
Hamishmash Posted September 14, 2011 Author Posted September 14, 2011 Chapter 3 will be delayed slightly. I haven't been online recently because I've been having a holiday with my boyfriend and I need to finish my uni holiday work. But don't worry... it shall be online soon! Chapter 3 - Qinc and the Escape to Europe!
