Umxholo ithandabuzekayo nguJeph Jacques yenye yezona webcomics zidumileyo nezona zisebenza ixesha elide kwi-intanethi. Ngaphandle kwemigca embalwa yeendwendwe, uJeph ubebhala kwaye ebonisa QC ukusukela ngo-2003, kwaye ukusukela ngo-2004 ihlaziywa kahlanu ngeveki. Kukuzibophelela okunzima kodwa emva konyaka kuphela QC , yaba ngumsebenzi wakhe osisigxina, kwaye ngoku uqokelele imibhalo engama-2849. Ababaninzi amagcisa e-webcomic abaye bafezekisa enye yezo zinto zibalulekileyo.
QC yaqala njenge-gag comic elula malunga nomculo we-indie-rock ojolise kuMarten kunye ne-sociopathic anthro-PC Pintsize. Iguqukile ngaphaya koko ibe libali lobomi beqela elinabahlobo abaninzi abadibeneyo. Abalinganiswa abaxhasayo baquka abasebenzi bevenkile yekofu kaDora, njengoRaven noPenelope, kunye nabamelwane bakaMarten, uMarigold noHannelore. Ngabalinganiswa abangaphezulu kwama-30 abaphindaphindayo, i-QC yingxelo etyibilikisayo egubungela uburharha, ezothando, ezesondo, umculo werock kunye ne-sci-fi ngelixa uxoxa ngobudlelwane kunye noxinzelelo lwengqondo. Ukuba unentliziyo nomphefumlo kwaye iimvakalelo zakho azikatshabalaliswa ziziganeko ezikhoyo, uya kufumana into onokuyonwabela QC .
Ndihleli phantsi noJeph sithetha ngophuhliso lwe QC kwaye indlela ikomikhi ikhule ngayo- kubandakanya ukongezwa komlingiswa otshintshayo.
UMarcy Cook (TMS): Buyela nini QC iqalile, ekufuneka ibonakale ngathi iyiminyaka eyadlulayo kuwe, yayiyinxalenye yewebhu malunga noMarten kunye nomnye umculo. Ngoku, ikhule yaba kukukhangelwa kobomi, ubudlelwane, impilo yengqondo, kunye (nokwaziswa kukaClaire) ngemicimbi ye-transgender. Ngaba ukushenxa kude nefomathi yakho yokuqala bekucwangcisiwe, okanye ngaba bekungokwemvelo? Leliphi ibali le-arc kuwe elitshintshileyo QC kwimo yale mihla?
UJeph Jacques: Kwakuninzi utshintsho olwenziweyo. Ndenze isigqibo esinqumlayo sokuyeka ukwenza indie rock joke, kodwa nokuba yayiyinkqubo ethe chu, kwaye ingekuko ukusikwa okucacileyo, Kulungile, ndigqibile nge-Arcade Fire gags ngoku, okomzuzwana. Ndicinga ukuba ngundoqo QC bekusoloko ubudlelwane phakathi kwabalinganiswa - oko bekusoloko kuyeyona nto imnandi kwaye inomdla wokuba ndibhale. Kodwa kule minyaka idlulileyo, ugxininiso lwe-comic ngokuqinisekileyo luye lwasasazeka ikakhulu malunga noMarten, ukuya malunga noMarten noFaye, malunga nokuba wonke umntu kwisangqa sabo sentlalontle, ukuba malunga neqela eyahlukileyo izangqa zentlalo ezihamba ngeendlela ezithile. Ndicinga ukuba ibali lebali likaMarten / Faye eliqala kwi-comic 500 yayikukuqala kolu tshintsho, apho ndaye ndagqiba kwelokuba ndijongane nentando-yabo-abayi kuba bobudlelwane beMarten / Faye. Oko kuvule ngokwenene yonke i-comic ekuqhubekeni kokuhlola.
NJL: Ucinga ukuba yintoni edibanisa aba balinganiswa, kwaye ibabambe ndawonye, kwiqela eliqinileyo, xa bevela kwimvelaphi eyahlukileyo kwaye bonke benamava ahlukeneyo obomi?
UJacques: Enye yemixholo ephambili yento yam ehlekisayo kukwamkelwa, kwaye abalinganiswa ngokubanzi bayamkelana ukuba bangoobani. Baye lonke uhlobo lokubhadula kweli qela kwaye lamkelwe, kwaye ndicinga ukuba yinxalenye enkulu yento ebagcina besondele. Bayancedana kuzo zonke iintlobo zeendlela ezahlukeneyo -UMarigold noHannelore ngokukodwa babonakala ngathi bayile le ndlela ingaqhelekanga apho bencedana khona ukuba basebenze ngakumbi. Kwaye kukho iirobhothi, ezinenjongo yokoqobo kukunceda abantu babo. Oko, kwaye bayathanda ukwenza iiquip zokuhlekisa kunye nokubaleka kwizikweko omnye komnye.
NJL: Impilo yengqondo kunye nokujongana nomxholo ngumxholo oqhubekayo kwi QC , Ukusuka kwi-mysophobia kunye ne-OCD (Hannelore), PTSD kunye notywala (Faye), ukuzithemba okuphantsi kunye nokuzikhetha (Marigold), intlalontle (Pintsize), kunye nokungazithembi (Dora). Yongeza umaleko wobunyani kwi-comic enekhompyuter ye-anthro yokuthetha kunye neejethi ezikrelekrele ezingabonakaliyo. Kutheni le nto kugxilwe ekujonganeni nemicimbi yempilo yengqondo?
UJacques: Ukuphakamisa iidemon zam, mhlawumbi! Zizinto zonke ekuye kwafuneka ndijongane nazo okanye ndisajongana nazo, nangona zihlala zingagqithisanga ndibeka abalinganiswa bam [bahleka]. Bakwingxaki uninzi lwabantu abasokolayo, kwaye ndicinga ukuba nesiqwenga sokonwaba esithetha nabo ngendlela efanelekileyo kunokuba luncedo kakhulu. Ndifumana ukwaneliseka okuninzi kwii-imeyile ezindixelela ukuba i-comic yam incede abantu bajongane neengxaki zabo. Okukhona ndisiba lihlaya, kokukhona ndinomdla wokubhala amava ngaphandle kwam, kwaye ndicinga ukuba ukubhala kuyaqala ukubonisa oko.
NJL: Abalinganiswa be-QC baqhuba isini, bevela kwi-Hannelore ye-asexual, u-Dora olala nomntu ongatshatanga naye, u-gay Henry (utata kaMarten), i-lesbian Tai (okwangoku intombi ka-Dora), u-hetro Sven, kunye ne-professional dominatrix Veronica (umama kaMarten). Ngaba unenjongo ekubonakaliseni uluhlu olubanzi lwesini?
UJacques: Injongo yam kukubonisa abantu bazo zonke iindlela zokuziqhelanisa njenge abantu, okokuqala kwaye ngaphambi kwento yonke. Oku kunezibonelelo ezininzi-kwenza ukuba ubhale kakuhle, kunceda abantu ababelana ngezi ziqhelaniso baziva bebandakanyiwe, kwaye inceda abantu abanezinye iindlela zokuziqonda ukuba baziqonde ngcono. Ndihlala kwindawo ekhululekileyo, eyahlukileyo ngokwesini e-US, kwaye isahlulo esihle sokwahluka kwi-comic sibonisa ubunyani endinelungelo lokuhlala kulo.
NJL: Kum, ukwaziswa kukaClaire (# 2323 yayiyeyona nto ndiyitrans trans) inkulu; Njengomfazi we-transgender andifane ndibone ukubonakaliswa kwenyani yam. Eyona nto yayinomdla yayikukusabela kwabanye abalinganiswa: akukho namnye kubo owayeneempendulo ezimbi, okanye imibuzo engafanelekanga. Ngaba wenze uphando oluninzi kunye nokucwangciswa kokwaziswa kukaClare, kunye nendlela abanye abalinganiswa abanokunxibelelana ngayo naye?
UJacques: Ndenze uphando oluncinci, nangona kufuneka ndivume ukuba uninzi lwalukucinga nje malunga nefuthe noxanduva lwento endiyiyo, indoda emhlophe ethe tye, ukubhala umlingiswa otshintshayo. Bendingafuni ukuyishukumisa! Ngokubhala impendulo kaMarten, kwavele kwabonakala kuyindalo- zombini zilungele isimilo sakhe esibuyileyo kwaye zikwabonakalisa amava am okuhlangana nabantu abadlulayo. Ukubuyela ekholejini, ngaphambi kokuba ndiqonde nokuba yintoni ehanjiswayo wayenjalo , xa ndadibana nabantu abadlulayo yayihlala ingu-oh, kulungile. Ayisiyonto inkulu, enye indlela yokuba abantu babe yiyo.
Siya kwinxalenye enobuqili ngakumbi yebali ngoku, kuba uninzi lwabalinganiswa abayazi ncam iClaire is trans okwangoku! Ke kuhlala kuhleli ukuba bazakuphendula njani xa befumanisa. Ngelixa ndibona abanye babo benemibuzo- mhlawumbi engafanelekanga. Enye yeenjongo zam kukwenza QC Ndiziva ngathi yindawo ekhuselekileyo yokuhambisa abantu, ke yinto ekufuneka ndiyilumkele ukubhala.
NJL: Ndiyakhumbula ukuba wawukhe wathi ucwangcise ukwazisa umlinganiswa we-transgender kwi QC ngaphambili kakhulu kokubonakala kokuqala kukaClaire. Ngaba isicwangciso sasisoloko sinalo mlinganiswa uthandana noMarten? Unokuba ngowona mlingiswa uyindoda u-cis heteronormative in QC - kwakutheni ukuze akhethe uClaire?
UJacques: Kwenzeka ngokwendalo. Khange ndibenezicwangciso ezithile zothando ngoClaire, okanye umntu oguqukayo ngokubanzi, ngaphambi kokuba ihlangane. Kwakungenakuphepheka nangona, kuba uninzi lwee-comic zam malunga nokuthandana! Ukubonakala kukaClaire kwi-comic kwenzeka ukuba kungqinelane nenqaku kuphuhliso lukaMarten apho babebonakala befanelana, kwaye ngakumbi ndibabhalela ukuba basebenzisane ne-cuter efumanekayo. UMarten akandibethi njengoluhlobo lomntu olwa nesini sakhe - utsala uClaire, kwaye loo nto ilungile kuye. Andazi ukuba oko kumenza angaphantsi kwe-heteronormative okanye yintoni, kodwa kubonakala kufanelekile.
NJL: Okokugqibela, ujongane nezihloko ezininzi kwi QC kakade, btu unayo nayiphi na imixholo ukuba ufuna ngokwenene ukujongana ukuba awukafiki?
UJacques: Kukho le mbono iphosakeleyo iqhelekileyo (ubukhulu becala phakathi kwe-bigots) yokuba ababhali bagcine uluhlu lokhangelo lweyantlukwano abavakalelwa kukuba banyanzelekile ukuba balugqibe ukuze babe nokuqonda ngokufanelekileyo ngokwasentlalweni okanye nantoni na. Inyani yile yokuba ukwahluka kokubhala kunjalo kumnandi ! Inzima kwaye iyingozi, ngakumbi ukuba ungoyena uthe tye, mhlophe mfo emhlabeni njengam, kodwa kunjalo kumnandi . Ke ngokuqinisekileyo kukho izinto endifuna ukuzandisa ngakumbi kwixesha elizayo. Umzekelo, andinabo abantu aboneleyo bebala kwibala lam lokuhlekisa. Kwaye kunokuba mnandi ukubhala ngakumbi ii-dudes zesini! Utata kaMarten kunye notata-ntombazana ziitoni zokuzonwabisa, kodwa ngabalinganiswa abancedisayo ukuze ndingadlali kunye nabo njengoko ndingathanda.
Ngaphambi kokuba ndiye kuJeph kudliwanondlebe, ndaphinda ndafunda iQC kwasekuqaleni; kundithathe iintsuku ezintlanu ukugqitha kuzo, kwaye ndikonwabele ukufunda iicomics ezindala endizilibeleyo. Kodwa ukuba awuzange ufunde QC kwaye uzive ukhathazekile, qala kwi # 500. Kwaye wonwabe!
