    AFT (er, I’m not sure if Answered For Truth exists, but I’m not sure how to quote something here).
    And not to get off topic, while I’m a long time fan of QC, I really enjoyed DoA and its affiliates as well. I also enjoyed DW’s guest strip for JJ, but I was a bit confused by how much Dora’s face looks like Mike’s. Is there something the artis wants to tell us with that? Along the lines of “Dora’s punchlines are just as witty as Mike’s” or “Dora’s almost as classy a character as Mike”?
    
    And I also think the updates are reduced to M-W-F, which is fine with me, since a lot of the comics I read are MWF (xkcd, MC et.al.), that leaves me enough time to look at a strip and write a comment FTW before the next one is up.

      Dora has Mike’s face and Ethan’s hair. Hannelore has Linda’s face and Agatha’s hair. I haven’t figured out who Raven and Faye look like.

One would think Joyce would take offense to the Lord’s name being used in vain…
