all webcomics are terrible

[dadevvtsvre]

is that where dickbutt came from?

yes

kc green has also done bee power and horribleville which are some of his earlier works. gunshow is great because even when the joke is subpar the incredibly expressions and hilarious faces the guy draws still manage to

i've been an avid fan of ms paint adventures ever since problem sleuth started. hussie is a very cool guy in general and homestuck has been incredibly in terms of art, animation and music. the fact that this guy puts out several comics a day when most webcomics struggle to update three times a week speaks volumes about the kind of worker hussie is.

i've also been reading gunnerkrigg court for a couple of months now. it's got solid writing throughout and the art has been steadily improving since tom siddell started a few years back. it's very reminiscient of harry potter with the magical school setting but i love hp so i don't really mind.

nedroid seems to be kind of hit or miss for most people i talk to but it seems to always hit that very specific type of humour i'm very fond of. the art is simple most of the time but the author's use of line weight is masterful and brings everything to life with just a few strokes.

the abominable charles christopher has always been one of my favourite webcomics. it's drawn by a professional illustrator so of course the art is amazing. it's about the daily lives of a bunch of woodland critters but it's surprisingly emotional and touching at times, with mature themes such as abandonment and death. i mean, for crying out loud, even if you've never read the comic before you can't say this isn't the saddest thing you've ever seen!:

i have been neglecting to read hark! a vagrant and achewood for a while now and this thread has just reminded me to start reading them again.

This is epic

FUCK THE JURY

and holy shit to the dad rapist. No wonder she looks so upset.

Boxer Hockey looks pretty interesting. Now I know what to look up for webcomics

Thanks for this, I've never seen it before. I've been reading through the archives, and holy shit, these bears. It's so depressing, I don't know if I can take much more.

 

[candle]

Honestly, Ive never heard of any of these. I hust read the roosterteeth comics and vgcats and f@boy$.

 

[moxie]

here's one i totally forgot about for a long time, and now that i've caught up it looks like it's nearly completed!

i linked to the first comic because it's in the ending stages now, so the frontpage is a spoiler itself. i know it starts off lame and takes a while to pick up, but just keep on truckin'! it improves A LOT after a certain point and the art gets so much better, and the artist experiments with a lot of cool, different styles.

edit - oh wow hahaha i forgot how bad these earlier ones are, i swear it gets better

Spoiler: jeez

 

[Venetia]

oh i forgot about this one, it apparently just got an update on the 6th (this is a big deal as they're usually 1-2 months apart)

it's not like "LOL" comical it's more of a farce that you ogle b/c it's so pretty to ogle

Yume dream was weird, and it felt a bit servicy to me. the art changes were moderately cool, sometimes too weird, other times quite nice. Never actually finished reading till the last page so whatev.

i'm thinking of doing the nerdiest thing ever and purchasing a fine, fashionable shirt.

also i've been taking a glance or two at bobwhite lately and it's pretty cute (although the art can get really cramped in some of them)

something about it makes me think of questionable content, only the humor is character based, rather than lol anime monkey cheese quips.

i've been wanting to buy this shirt for months, so :V

forgot to mention one of my other favourite short-lived webcomics! cat rackham is really cute and the few strips steve wolfhard has done have been really good. it's not really so much a 'webcomic' as in it gets updated regularly, but the guy draws a lot of other comics on his livejournal and does some cat rackham in between.

also

 

[Venetia]

i was considering getting both those shirts ;x and also:

the Dave shirt from MSPA

AxeCop CHOP shirt

PFSC History of Art shirt

Wednesday the Cat shirt (it's just so cute/dumb ;o

probably never will since they're so expensive but those'd be my 1st picks in getting silly overpriced merch

 

[moxie]

oh god now i want all of these things (especially the dave and cat shirts!)

PFSC History of Art shirt

this reminds me, did you guys see the art show stuff he did? i thought it was really neat.

"DO NOT FORGET THAT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE"

and more!

 

[Venetia]

ha yeah considering his blog and his 24-hour comics he's probably a p strange/interesting fellow

 

[moxie]

just gonna drop this off here

 

[bluehazed]

I thought that was pretty good too. Saw it on reddit the other day.

No wait- that webcomic is SOOO yesterday.

 

[creamdonut]

You guys should read Least I Could Do. Probably one of the funniest webcomics I've ever read.

 

[moxie]

hey has anyone here bought the Homestuck soundtracks? looking through the track lists, I was kinda disappointed that the Jade: Retrieve Package music doesn't seem to be on there! also I'm not sure if I should splurge now and get them all or wait for some kind of compilation.

 

[mawk]

you mean Mutiny? it was in Vol. 4 when I bought it, but I guess maybe he changed them?

unless you mean the one that's up there now, in which case it's An Unbreakable Union in Vol. 5.

 

[moxie]

oh, yay! yeah, I was talking about the updated one. that's probably one of my favorites. I'm seriously tempted to sink a whole bunch of money into all of the volumes now.
