But then again I love everything about QC in the last few years
I would not mind spookybot but spookybot is such like a clear, clear reference that it's hard to take the character seriously.
It'd be like if someone riffing on darth vader just suddenly popped up. Like sure I like Darth Vader but it'd be kind of hard to take a character explicitly riffing on darth vader seriously.
But in general yeah JJ's writing mostly just seems to gradually improve over time.
What are they a reference to?
They are a reference to 'The Endless' of the graphic novel series Sandman, and specifically with their aesthetic and personality they are very much just Desire from said series.
They may both look a bit similar, but Desire is the most purely evil character in that series and spookybot has shown themselves to have a strong sense of ethics and actual personality.

Parley is always swole.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
i feel like his earlier style (not the first comics, obviously. 2007ish?) had a bit more personality to it even if it wasn't as crisp.
i remember when i first started coming here and QC was only posted ironically. not sure if people were only faking it being ironic or his writing improved. though i think a turning point began once people realized JJ actually seemed like a good dude.

You can only post something ironically for so long before it starts being something you sincerely enjoy
I like a lot of things that are terrible by most measures not because of the badness but because the parts that make it bad by most measures are an important part of what makes it special and improving it would remove what makes it precious.
I think the best term for it is naïve art even if a lot of the "so bad it is good" stuff is made by professionals. The art would lose a lot if the person making it had more of something resembling formal education and training or competence at using that training.

I wouldn't call Desire evil, personally. The most antagonistic character in the series? Sure. But evil? nah. That's like calling a hurricane evil. I consider lots of other characters, Morpheus included, to actually be on morally shakier ground than Desire.
I've never understood liking something ironically. Either like it or don't, no need to try and play it off.
Ever since I was introduced to the concept, I've understood it to mean "stuff that you enjoy but that you wouldn't go to bat for". Like me and the Commissars in Warhammer 40 000. Or just... 40K in general. Stuff that you appreciate from an emotional distance.
Novelty stimulates the senses. Since we have more access to classically well made art than ever before thanks to the internet, bold incompetence is one way to catch our eye
Marty: The future, it's where you're going? Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

I don't know, I can't enjoy something I think is bad. That entire mindset is alien to me
