mention of ms comic chat seems somehow incomplete without reference to JerkCity aka BoneQuest, a decades-long webcomic composed using it https://www.bonequest.com/search/?q=%23linux



Out of the loop, anyone know when/why Jerkcity became BoneQuest?


It happened in the first half of 2018 (between March and May).

Kind of baffling.

Without having talked to them, my assumption is that a Florida area Jamaican restaurant reached out to them and said "hi, we're called Jerk City, can we have your web address? we'll give you $100" and they thought this was hilarious and said yes.


heh, probably

What am I missing... these all seem like non-sequiters.


Chat room snippets would tend to lean that way. It's definitely a unique format for humour. Personally, I love it, and I can't begin to explain why.


You need to be versed in the deep lore to understand it, basically.


It looks like it's just a bunch of dick jokes, but if you look deeper, you realize that it's seriously so many dick jokes.
