New Project(???): Shelter In Place

Tii

btw me putting pandemic in quotes wasnt implying it wasn't real oh my god

Tii

i know i'm 3 years late, but even if it wasn't "pandemic" related, I'd love to see these characters again.

Sarah Schnell

Still holding strong, 6 months later! ;-) btw, curious about the thirst-mask booty count!

Rie Sheridan Rose

These are great!

DresdenQ

love them!

Glaive

i love this a lot and i'd love to see it continued. the characters are just as relatable as the QC crew, and it's nice to see quarantine content that's sensitive to what it's really like.

Jackie Meyer

Love it!

Katherine Prewitt

I love Mrs C

Sam

Oh hey uh I didn't get a chance to see this when it came out but I think this is a bitchin' idea and I trust you to make this as engaging as Alice Grove and QC, if not more because something grounded here is gonna be pretty engaging coming from you to begin with

Jermops

more please!

Alphones Armorman, suitperson

Love it, it's still your personality but a different spin. I do kiss the blurbs at the bottom

Ronald Stimbert

My girlfriend took to making a comic about all of this as well. She hasn't done as many in the last week as she did in the first. I think getting it out there helped, a bunch. Thanks for this and hope it helps you as well.

Dustin

This looks like it could be fun :) I'm in

I'm already hooked...

I love these two

Boris Pelakh

I can already anticipate some hilarious discussions on the breakdown of the social contract. Well done!

Sezoxeufu

Hoping for more and hoping for best

Rachael R

I love them and I totally adore Mr. and Mrs. C

Carin Maja Brooks

I feel attacked by that last one, with my barren DMs. Also, the roommate knows because we complain about being single sapphics

Ian Wolfe

Page Two made my week! /roflmao

David Howe

Tom Nook gives -normal- trash pandas a bad name. He makes you pay 10Kbells a pop for house site kits... and AFTER he has sold the site YOU prepared to some poor sap YOU have to fasttalk into coming to your island, you get back less Miles than it cost you to go recruiting...

Eric Sieck

A. Tom Nook is unfairly demonized. The loans are interest free and you only have to pay it back if you want the next upgrade. B. Half a million? Oh, my sweet summer child. Just wait until you get to the basement.

JMK

This looks great!

Elf Sternberg

Awesome!

Julienne Ignace

MOAR!!!

Áine Yore

Love it and can't wait to see where you go with it.

Michael

I like it

Etienne M.J. Dubourg

Gregory Burnett

I'm in! Looks great!

Aidan Cortney

These are really cute! I'll never say no to more Jeph content

Dev

YES GOOD.

Ross

I'll be commentor number 202 saying "this is great". I don't have much else to say about it though.

Leah Webber

I love this so much. Why do I love this so much? This is glorious!

Churchill (formerly TeaBear)

Would this be a side project like Alice Grove, or just something to continue while the Corona thing is ongoing?

DixonLu

Go for it.

I love these. Thank you.

MamaSockster

Yes! More, please!

These are wonderful!

Nathaniel Tagg

Thank you! I have the same thought all the time reading QC: it's just weird pretending the timeline going on without the pandemic. This somehow relaxes me.

It's looking really really good. the theme is just perfect for this pandemic tendency... Just one question, why is that your chars have to always be either gay or something related?, just wondering, I mean I have nothing against it, I just been noticing more and more that almost all of the new characters have this tendency, maybe Im wrong.

Chad Freeman

Great start! The "Zoom" call format was a little confusing, but overall, I really like it. Love the color scheme for them!

Akanksha Sharma

Love them! Please make more!

Kaarchin

Like it!

Please more Animal Crossing content! Love this

Rich

Awesome, love that you're using this time to fuel some new creativity!

Awesome, loving the first three and would 100% be interested in more :)

Very cool. Two glove-wearing thumbs up!

M. Eric Carr

Cool. Whatever reader you're using makes these very small and difficult to see on Chrome (and increasing/decreasing page magnification doesn't help.) Is an alternate viewer available? I ended up copying the images and viewing them in Irfanview. Thanks!

Yes! This is exactly what I needed this morning! Also the Crooked Raccoon is a menace!

David Pipes

Love it!

Raul Trevino

I like it, keep them coming please

Paul Nobles

Your ability to create chemistry and relationships quickly between characters astounds. It looks like this one has hit the ground running! Also, your colour palette for the first few strips really set the mood. I'd love to see more!

Sheri Spangenberg

I like it so far! Also Kate will be really disappointed in the next couple loans if she's that outraged by 500k.

Thanks Jeph! Enjoyed the new comic, looking forward to more!

Garth Rivers

I love it!

Technoir

Such awesome! Many greats! Doge approved! Git'r'done, bro!

Laura Kolker

I enjoyed the comic bunches! I don't particularly like using the patreon interface to look at comics though. Their image display thinger is not.... well... text is hard to read... scrolling is hamstrung. eh...

Veronica VanCleave-Seeley

I love it. I can relate to the first page so much!

Sarah Manx

Love it!

Nicholas Kratzer

Like 90% of your characters, these two are adorable and I love them immediately. I would love to see more of them

Cass

I approve and look forward to more.

Captain Button

From Annie Youchah above: In this case it's the roommate, Kate, speaking offscreen saying (and I quote) "FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND BELLS for a fucking HOUSE UPGRADE I swear to god when the revolution comes you'll be the first against the fucking WALL you fucking profiteering TRASH PANDA"

Jonas

Too small text in the bottom left panel on the second page

I like it.

Huh, what would QC be like under a COVID quarantine? The AIs could walk around freely, disinfecting as needed, while the humanoids would be sheltered-in-place. That would change the dynamic! Sorta Stanislaw Lem?

Robert Perkins

Great beginning. I look forward to more of their adventures.

Tachpmg

Very enjoyable, I'd love it if you were to make more!

Nadav

Fantastically cute! Really enjoyed those three pages and excited for more.

Brettus Maximus

Definitely enjoying this, really hope you do more! I kinda wish comics were like series where you could just get a whole season at once and binge it but I suspect it's better to have the constant release and feedback from audience to help steer it as it goes rather than release like 100 pages sight unseen. Sorry, thinking in type, I'll hush.

James Bastone

awesome :D

Mark Mckay

I agree, more! suggest making this into a mini series thing, maybe sell it as a one off comic thingy at cons and the like?

This is good.

Robert Giebel

Already love the characters!

orange slice

That's really cute, Jeph ❤️

....I will pay extra for this.

Severin Schols

Those are awesome, looking forward to more :D

Morgan McCauley

Ahh, super cute! I really like this!

Jeremy Jorgensen

QC is it's own little world, so make something more grounded in this weird ass reality as a side thing to hope cope with the weirdness!

Jennie Huntoon

I love them already!!

ducksauz

YES! YES! YES! MOAR PLEASE!

Dan Curtis

These are great.

Brooks Moses

Definitely would not complain about seeing more of these!

Kurist Zero

Also joining the horde of more please 😂

This is fantastic! Please make more.

Crystal Rivet

Oh my GOD ! I love this so much!!! More please!

Andrew Herrera

More please

John Doe

These great I'd love to see more if you decide to go for it. :)

Tudza

It's gotten warm, but not warm enough for putting up the air conditioner. Can I swelter in place?

Bagge

No struggle but class struggle. I like their dynamics. Lots of fun

Adam Abbott

He was displaying symptoms. Definitely wasn't smothered with a pillow.

Mark Thomas

Am I the only one who sees Elliott in Mr C? And Kate very much seems to be visually inspired by Dora... Regardless, I find these strips amusing and would Not complain about seeing more of them.

Walt Donovan

Don't stop, man!

Rachel Maeroff

Yes, yes, yes! More of this.

Sierra G

Love this!

Comrade Peaches

This is excellent.

R. Francis Smith

I probably have the time, but what I don't have is a Switch, or a desire to watch any more about weirdos in Oklahoma than my life already provides

Magic Beans

I'm thankful to be not only employed but stupid busy through all of this, but at the same time I feel a bit left out of all the Tiger King and Animal Crossing stuff.

Anton

This gave me some joy!

SilverbackRon

Thank you Jeph! I appreciate your work so much. I want to see more of these two!

Tom wilson

Brilliant, Jeph.... and not just because my daughter and I are both playing Animal Crossing.... Frakking Tom Nook, anyway.

Populuxe

This is already a lot of fun.

Kinda Squirrely

I. LOVE. THIS.

Steamin' cup o' nut-wet, now with double the orcus chunks!

Damn that Tom Nook! Keep going! More I say! Draw, monkey!

emmavoid

Amazing! Can't wait to see more~!

Stuart Telfer

I like these characters a lot. Would definitely enjoy seeing more of them

kwixote

Excellent -- a rich vein worth mining, and one that feels right for who we are now

Actually, masks (or bandanas) make all others safer when you're an unknowing carrier spewing viral contagion where ever you go.

z

I am glad to be where I am now. I know that if I was in my previous living situation of a few years ago and told to shelter in place, my Roommate would have...mysteriously vanished about three weeks in.

Jonah Hillman

Also: Based parents

Jonah Hillman

I love this! Please make more!

Emma Humphries

Thrice-damned Tom Nook!

Emma Humphries

That damned Tom Nook!

Bill Hall

What do you have against Trash Pandas, anyway?! ;-)

i want to see a comic where all the humans are sadly looking out the window as the robots frolic merrily to spite them. they don't even care about frolicing, but they know it cheeses the humans off.

Francis

I'm for it, it's relevant af

Karel P Kerezman

"Atta girl." Now that's a cool dad. *nod nod*

Isabel

This is fantastic. Can't wait for more.

Amy ☣

Okay, I love these two. Looking forward the future strips. <3

Charles Fitt

Oh man, these are great. Thanks so much

LH

omg they were roommates!!!

Shlom

These are sweet. I'm missing out on thirst-traps, but I love your inter-character interactions. Interly. {blinks}

I love it

Ursus Ridens

Hey! The new project looks interesting -- but face it, we get enough about pandemic pounded into our heads. We _need_ that plague-free alternate Northampton (alt-hamp?).

Thisguy

She didn’t call him a raccoon, she called him a trash panda, which is an insult to raccoons despite them not being pandas. And since she’s being insulting to him in the first place, calling him the wrong animal works fine.

Thisguy

Not bad. I don’t mind the odd “current events” comic. Though I hope QC keeps going in its own world. I need the escapism.

Thisguy

Yeah, there is some phrases here which go right over my head.

Thisguy

As someone who’s been playing more Dungeons and Dragons lately, my definition of DM is “Dungeon Master”. I have a feeling this is not the definition used here.

Andrew Mitchell

Love the new characters!! More please!!! <3

Damien

My DM is a merciless party killing machine. The DM is me. I am a Dungeon Master. DOOOOOM

Rose Mary Heiman

Thank You!!

Thank you, Jeph! Your work helps to keep me sane, day by day.

Captain Button

WTH is a "thirst trap?" [/CluelessOldGuy]

Bartley J Drood

{sigh} My DMs are a barren wasteland too :(

Rose Ekblad

I love them omg

Diptych

First post and it's already gay, socialist and playing Animal Crossing. Extremely on-brand and extremely good.

Absynthe

More please!!!

I'm attached to them already. They're adorable. Thanks for sharing. Please keep these coming!

MisterNormie

Yassss. Also fuck Tom Nook

Hugh Eckert

I'm with the others: a) this is adorable and b) glad that QC doesn't have a pandemic. I really loved Alice Grove, too.

BobC

Just wait until the internet goes down. THEN we'll see some isolation!

Clark Wells

Love the new comic, but please continue to feed my need for QC - They are the normal I want to return to!

Quarantinable Content right here

Joseph Bonnar

Love them.

Chase the Dragon

This is good stuff. If you can continue with this I would appreciate it bro!

Andrew Carmedelle

This is adorable

Sleepy John

Dads understand. Some of them, anyway.

William Cole

Well... I was really hoping for a DORD revival, but I guess these'll do.... (But seriously, these are very cool! It feels a little like old school QC updated for the current hellscape. Who could ask for anything more?)

Mark Redacted

YESSSS MAOR

Thomas Halpin

This was awesome! I request more!

Slashplane

I do appreciate QC didn't magically get a pandemic so it can relate. That being said, I like the comic that can relate to this RL situation.

Ash359

Actually bandanas are a lot more comfortable. Seeing as the masks don't actually make anyone safer, may as well be comfortable.

Tamara Macadam

lesbians!

Maelwys Myrddin

I love them both already.

I really love this. I don't comment often/ever but these are wonderful.

RaptorShadow

This is fantastic!

This is amazing and I would absolutely love to see more.

Errol Lobo

Love it, would love more!

Peter Jensen

Oooh, these are good. Looking forward to more!

This is pandemically golden. Thank you Jeph

I'm loving these!

Yes! I've been finding it hard to read things that take place in a non-pandemic world. This is exactly what my heart has been looking for!

Chris Gropp

The parents have sold me on this, I want to see more!

Eric Christian Berg

Very nice. Wouldn't mind seeing more of these. :)

This made me really happy. I will be very pleased if you do more, but I also know that creativity isn't as simple as "people like thing make more of thing" so just do you.

I had to refresh my page a couple of times before I could click on the thumbnails to get it to zoom in, I think Patreon is being weird. In this case it's the roommate, Kate, speaking offscreen saying (and I quote) "FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND BELLS for a fucking HOUSE UPGRADE I swear to god when the revolution comes you'll be the first against the fucking WALL you fucking profiteering TRASH PANDA"

Devin Gates

My only issue is Tom Nook = Tanuki, not raccoon. Otherwise, agreed with everything Kate yelled.

Autographedcat

Really digging this. I hope there's more.

Chris Driggers

I want moar

Angie Penrose

I have no idea what everyone else is doing, but I'm reading this on my laptop and in the second comic, where the daughter's talking to her parents, in the third panel where daughter has a alllllll that dialog crammed into a teensy speech balloon? I can't read a word of it. :( For whatever reason, it's coming across as three thumbnails at the top of the post, rather than as the large, page-size pages we usually get. Clicking on them makes them enlarge a bit, but not nearly enough. What am I doing wrong? :( :( :(

This is amazing! Second comic was so fucking funny and good!

cakecake

These were really cute Jeph! I appreciate you finding a way to tell some 'pandemic tales' while we're in the middle of it! Hope you & yours are well :) please post more of these two if you feel inspired!!

Kenneth Carlile

i love it!

Noevad

I must have more, make it so.

David Jackson

Oh my God. you guys. they are *roommates* 😍

This sounds like the life of our neighbors daughter who used to only be there once a week. She's now stuck. She bought and lived in AC for at least 2 weeks according to her mom.

This is really cute 🥰

and they were roommates!!!

Ethan Fardoux

Yes! I love this!

Jonathan Disher

I'm amused at the idea of an old guy with a golf shirt praising class struggle.

Lyssadelia

I love this! I hope it continues!

Forgettable

The preview on the app notification for this post just said "ter in p" and of course I read that as "ternip" and I thought it was gonna be about a country bumpkin farmer with bad spelling.

Rosilin

Yes. Good. 😍

Loki the Poisoner

These are great! I look forward to more in the future!

This is great.

Yonatan Zunger

Oh, this is awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us. :)

This is amazing Jeph. Same vibe as QC but different environment. If it gets the creative urges out, fully supportive!

These are fantastic!

Vianki Bruenderman

So good. Yes pls, moar.

Yaaasss. This is great!

Samantha Yeaman

Ooh, I love the colour palette in these, it's gorgeous. Also I happened to be playing Animal Crossing the very moment I read this; I relate to Kate so hard.

I think we’re all in agreement that this is now a thing and we want more. Thank you and good luck ✌🏻❤️

Axl Angulo

I wanna play AC with Kate now
