Yes indeed there seem to be many Tumblrite hacks eager to cash in on Cucumber Quest's style. One webcomic went as far as to rip off the style of character profiles.

I keep trying to find positive things about the way you post, but you really do get a twitch if you can't constantly assume superiority over other people with the most spurious of justifications, huh.

I don't know what the hell you do for a living (I mean, Finnish, so "unemployed" is a solid one-in-ten roll), but it must not be very fulfilling.

Just follow along if you don't wanna get neutered.
My only issue is that it spells out the character's sexuality as though it's something that the audience needs to know right away, rather than casual implication from character relationships. That just smacks as lazy storytelling intended to pander.

Art's cute, though.

I don't think the comic ripping off another more popular comic's style is as big of an issue as the writing seeming kind of sloppy?

Oh, I've read that - it's really not very similar to CQ at all. The writing is really different, and I don't think it's had time to display whether it's sloppy or not really. But christ, some of you are pretty vicious!

yes, no, the comic people are posting really does not look very much like cucumber quest (similarities = "uses color??"), lmao @ concerned gay lion.

While the site is back up, we're not getting any new comics from Gigi until May: http://cucumber.gigidigi.com/cq/spring-break/

But we're getting guest strips so there's that.

Gigi is probably going to make a kickstarter soon, so far she's been printing not only the new volume but the past ones to give as kickstarter tiers.

Macarons are ace and so are cucumber quest guest comics. Does GG pre vet the dialogue and have a rigid selection process or something?

i think she probably just talks with her friends about her comic (and vice versa, obviously) enough that when they make guest comics it's going to be pretty much on the mark
