It Hurts!! is a pretty good completed comic (although it does have a sequel that is currently ongoing.) It starts out as kind of a crude story about some kids going to school but it really starts to go to some weird rear end places.

Captain Hygiene posted:Oh man, I'd forgotten about this for a while but now I'm kinda sad because it's fallen into the same trap as every serialized webcomic I've gotten into. I really liked catching up, but completely lost track of it because I don't enjoy keeping up one update at a time. I can pin down where I stopped almost half a year ago since I posted about it here, but now I have only the faintest recollection of what's even going on in that arc so I'm pretty much lost Read it again from the start, the flow is much better then when you’re reading one page every 3 days. I’m not sure what trap you’re experiencing, but if it’s the soapy convulutedness long running webcomics turn into, I don’t think that’s what’s happening with KSBD. The autor themself has stated that there is a set ending

Oh, I'll re-read it eventually, it's just a matter of not wanting to spend a few days on that every time I want to catch up without knowing how long is left. Really happy to hear there's an ending in mind though, I get really tired of comics that start off great and then just meander along for years because the writer's don't know where they're going.

Brewmaster posted:Same. Drop-Out is a very good webcomic about two hosed up queer adults going on a road trip Cucumber Quest is another very good comic that's a parody/pastiche of the typicla JRPG plot; told in a children's storybook fashion. Done by the artist hiimdaisy/G.G. Digi, famous for "Let's Destroy Metal Gear" and "The Great Big Long Persona 4 Comic". It doesn't have a resolution, as the author decided to end the project early due to running out of steam/picking up more professional projects; so they released the planned plot in a text file. Manly Guys Doing Manly Things is a great comedy oriented webcomic that's either one-off gags about video games or masculine media; usually with the themes of pointing out the silliness of "manliness" in media and promoting positive masculinity. Battle pug is a parody of Conan the Barbarian just with a big dash of silliness. However it almost never dips into 'lol random monkeycheese' silliness, despite what the title might imply, and after introducing a gag it tends to treat it seriously in the world. Won an Eisner award. Those are the ones I'd consider good, rather than just "good for a webcomic". I got a lot of those if you're interested.

That ended the same day as The Phoenix Requiem which, while not on the same level, was something that I enjoyed very much. Sam & Fuzzy isn't technically completed but the big story which has been going on for a decade or so recently wrapped up.

I'm almost done w Drop Out, I've been desperately trying to catch up with the BYOB thread, even tho I read several pages most days it's like swimming against the current cuz that thread is so active. But anyways Drop Out is the most painful comic I've ever read, I can't really recommend it cuz either a) yr not gonna get it cuz u haven't been thru that poo poo so it's probably boring or b) you do get it cuz you've been there urself and reading it is gonna be really emotional and painful

The farce chapter on the boat is probably the hardest I've ever laughed at a webcomic.

Completely trivial, but in the first page the female character corrects one of the pugs saying “Puppies, like Colfax and I”, saying it should be “like Colfax and me”. English is a second language for me. I know ‘I’ sometimes is replaced with ‘me’ in current English, even when the pronoun is the subject in a sentence. I’ve been corrected on my use of ‘X and I’ or ‘X and me’ by native speakers, inconsistently of the function of the function in the sentence; I would defer to the native speaker. But in this case: is ‘Colfax and I’ not the subject of a new sentence, instead of the object of the word ‘like’? I see ‘like’ not as a verb, but as a comparative noun (this is what google tells me a vergelijkend naamwoord is called); if you would extend the sentence it would be: “like Colfax and I are”. I get that is the dumbest thing to ask about in a comics thread. But if been corrected so inconsistently about this, this comic is making me feel like I’ve been gaslit by a score of agresively pedantic Anglos

Brewmaster posted:Same. Rice Boy and Order of Tales are early webcomics set in a unique fantasy world - Rice Boy can be kind of dreamlike and surreal at times, while Order of Tales is more grounded. Technically Order of Tales is a prequel, but the stories are unrelated aside from some reappearing characters. The artist's current comic, Vattu is an incredibly good story about colonialism and culture and also has amazing art, still ongoing. Nature of Nature's Art is a collection of long, philosophical comics about animals doing martial arts, drawn with a 20 year old browser based program originally designed for japanese message boards. It's probably not for everyone, but it's got a clear artistic vision and I can guarantee you won't find anything else like it anywhere on the internet. A lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible is sort of like Dresden Codak, but good Also another endorsement for Øyvind Thorsby's works - in addition to the webcomics, he also made a pretty fun adventure game

Such Fun posted:Completely trivial, but in the first page the female character corrects one of the pugs saying In general, to native English speaking people, the easiest way to sound "correct" is to imagine the sentence without the other person. "Tony and I went to the store" > "I went to the store". "Do you want to go with Bob and me?" > "Do you want to go with me?" If you swap around "me" and "I" in the above sentences, they sound wrong. "Me went to the store" sounds like caveman talk and "Do you want to go with I?" sounds weird. If someone I knew talked like that I'd assume it was them goofing around. As stated though: Arrhythmia posted:Bad news: no one knows or cares and are just saying what sounds right to their ears.

A bit off topic, but since Dr McNinja's Chris Hastings was recently mentioned, I gotta plug a newish DnD podcast called Rude Tales of Magic, for those of you into that kind of thing. He plays a character in a campaign DM'ed by Swan Boy's Branson Reese. It is hilarious.

Was the Kickstarter printing of pictures for sad children that lead to the book burning the first run of the book? I don't remember the Kickstarter but I think I have a physical copy. I thought I had lost all my scary go round books in a move but they turned up a decade later. I spent a lot of after school job money getting the first one with a personalized sketch.

I don't remember the Kickstarter but I think I have a physical copy. It was actually the kickstarter for Sad Pictures for Children, the second book of comic. It has a dead wasp in a container embedded in the cover. Partway through shipping, they had their breakdown and threatened to burn a copy of the paid-for book every time someone asked where their copy was. A pile was burned before Max Temkin got involved and finished the shipping, and the person formerly known as John Campbell eventually demanded a living wage from everyone, and AFAIK, vanished from the internet.

Completed / Near-completed Webcomics Starslip Crisis Starshift Crisis (changed to Starslip later in the story) is a sci-fi comedy comic about the crew of the battlecruiser-turned-art museum Fuseli: fussy, pompous Curator Vanderbeam, his inexplicable alien assistant Mr. Jinx, the pirate navigator Cutter, and the flustered engineer Holiday. 2005 - 2012 Schlock Mercenary Another sci-fi comedy strip, with a space opera vibe to it as it continues. VERY long, but in its final chapter. Follows the exploits of mercenary company Tagon's Toughs. The artwork starts... as not the best, but the writing is solid from the get-go, and the art does improve over time. Snappy writing, good universe building, and posted seven days a week without a single missed day. 2000 - 2020 (est). Ugly Hill (patreon re-posting) Selected Ugly Hill strips from Wayback Machine A long-lost comic from the days of Blank Label, Ugly Hill finds the reader in Ugly Hill, a small monster town, as we're introduced to: Eli the slacker, his brother the VERY high strung Kilgore, the mooch and layabout Snug, and Peter the intern. Starts with solid gags, and quickly develops into an engaging overarching story with a really satisfying finish. 2005 - 2009 Behind a patreon paywall for up through strip 600 of 900 (with a re-post of a previously lost strip every day), but there are a few out through the Wayback Machine. Axe Cop A surreal trip through the imagination of a five-year-old, Axe Cop drops you into the madness strip 1. Axe Cop and his friend/adopted brother end up going through a variety of bizarre non-sequitur adventures with the ultimate goal of Axe Cop being CHOPPING OFF BAD GUYS'S HEADS. Also became an animated series on Fox for a short time, too. 2010-2017
