New Project(???): Shelter In Place

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

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

These are great!

love them!

Love it!

I love Mrs C

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

more please!

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

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.

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

I'm already hooked...

I love these two

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

Hoping for more and hoping for best

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

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

Page Two made my week! /roflmao

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.

This looks great!

Awesome!

MOAR!!!

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

I like it

I'm in! Looks great!

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

YES GOOD.

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

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

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

Go for it.

I love these. Thank you.

Yes! More, please!

These are wonderful!

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.

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

Love them! Please make more!

Like it!

Please more Animal Crossing content! Love this

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!

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!

Love it!

I like it, keep them coming please

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!

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!

I love it!

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

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...

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

Love it!

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

I approve and look forward to more.

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?

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

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

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

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.

awesome :D

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.

Already love the characters!

That's really cute, Jeph ❤️

....I will pay extra for this.

Those are awesome, looking forward to more :D

Ahh, super cute! I really like this!

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!

I love them already!!

YES! YES! YES! MOAR PLEASE!

These are great.

Definitely would not complain about seeing more of these!

Also joining the horde of more please 😂

This is fantastic! Please make more.

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

More please

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

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

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

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.

Don't stop, man!

Yes, yes, yes! More of this.

Love this!

This is excellent.

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.

This gave me some joy!

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

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

This is already a lot of fun.

I. LOVE. THIS.

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

Amazing! Can't wait to see more~!

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

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

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.

Also: Based parents

I love this! Please make more!

Thrice-damned Tom Nook!

That damned Tom Nook!

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.

I'm for it, it's relevant af

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

This is fantastic. Can't wait for more.

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

Oh man, these are great. Thanks so much

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

I love it

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?).

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.

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.

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

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

Thank You!!

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

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

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

I love them omg

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

More please!!!

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

Yassss. Also fuck Tom Nook

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.

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

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

Love them.

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

This is adorable

Dads understand. Some of them, anyway.

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?)

YESSSS MAOR

This was awesome! I request more!

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.

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

lesbians!

I love them both already.

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

This is fantastic!

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

Love it, would love more!

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!

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

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.

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

Really digging this. I hope there's more.

I want moar

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!

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!!

i love it!

I must have more, make it so.

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!!!

Yes! I love this!

yes! This is awesome!

Im down with this, feels good haha

So fun! *Please* continue.

I love it and I love them

This is awesome! I love it! Looking forward to future pages. 💖

Keep these coming!

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

I love this! I hope it continues!

This is gold. I love it!

Very like!

Yes please!!

I love this and I need more of them

More please.

You had me at “fucking profiteering trash panda” 😁

These two are great. Continue to proceed!

Fucking trash panda....I'm gonna kill him

Yes, these are great!!

Omg please do more! This is adorable :D

I wish to know more of these people, please continue

+1 for more of these please!

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.

Yes. Good. 😍

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

This is great.

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

YESSSS I LOVE IT

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

These are fantastic!

So good. Yes pls, moar.

Yaaasss. This is great!

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 ✌🏻❤️

I wanna play AC with Kate now

I love it omg

More of this please

I absolutely love this.

This is super rad, thanks for sharing this project!

I love it! Thank you!

😂 this is awesome - her parents are hilarious!

I love this!! Nice work!!

I'm liking this alot!

Ooooh I love them!

YES JEPH OMG PLS

Oh my gods I love it.

This is wonderful!
