habeasdorkus posted:I am consistently impressed by Minna Sundberg's ability to churn out excellent art for a daily webcomic in Stand Still Stay Silent. I have no idea how she does it, though she does take breaks between chapters. Yeah it's ridiculous, as far as I can tell she is a goddamn robot just regularly churning out amazing pages every day?? And her breaks are like 2 weeks so it's not really enough to build up a giant backlog

Mikl posted:Friends, I need your help in tracking down a webcomic I read... Probably like a decade and a half ago, if not more. ah, as if! Writer's here: http://blog.jetwolf.com/ Artist, Amy Mebberson, is here: https://amymebberson.com/index.html Last I checked she's working for Disney now! She also made "pocket princesses", which was basically chibi disney princesses (I think related to how she got her job) and Thorn, a sisters in the 70s strip concept.

Warthur posted:My main Webcomic likes lately have been Mr Boop, which I think the BYOB webcomic thread noticed a while back, and Red Ring of Death, which is yet another parody of mid-2000s gamer comics (like Powerup Comics was) but has the advantage of hindsight on how gamer culture developed and also makes good use of the Twitter medium to flesh out the backstory of "Shawn Tuckley", the comic's creator.

Apparently the real Tim B^Uckley has jumped the shark right into self insert comics about his real life as a father (like all the rest). And he still isn't funny

Mary Cagle wrote on Patreon that Sleepless Domain is going on a mini-hiatus; she's moving house, so she's taking two weeks off to pack everything up and do the move before resuming the comic.

SardonicTyrant posted:Did Gabe ever apologize for calling Kirsten Dunst a whore for having an opinion regarding Spiderman he didn't agree with? Gabe is a huge, huge rear end in a top hat, I doubt he's ever apologized for anything. Tycho's job was half writing the comic, half keeping him from embarrassing them.

Cup Runneth Over posted:Gabe is a huge, huge rear end in a top hat, I doubt he's ever apologized for anything. Tycho's job was half writing the comic, half keeping him from embarrassing them. So not only is the comic wildly overwritten, which honestly I don’t mind stylistically, but any writing over reasonable amounts is directly taking away from Gabe being restrained? That explains a lot.

Warthur posted:Yeah, the Twitter backstory about Shawn currently being in prison is great. The tone of the webcomic is also really judged, based on the year it was made: the early 2006 comics are full of smug "I am gamer hear me roar" poo poo, then later in the timeline you get stuff like this.

oriongates posted:That hit close to home. I actually had to hold a mini-intervention for NJ to get her to stop redrawing the earlier chapters of Undead Friend. oriongates posted:I'll keep that in my pocket for the next time she has a relapse. Still a fan and regular reader of UF since you mentioned it here a while ago, but this had me go back and recheck and start binging through again. With what I know now the prologue went from "uh, what just happened?" to "oh dang this persons ghost just abandoned them at the zero hour and this is how sadly it can end". I got a whole different take on that now. What really has me scratching my head now is that those two people that happened upon that situation just seemed to instantly forget what they saw. Makes me wonder if everyone forgets about someone forever if things go south in the UF universe. E: just got back to the point where it explains that yeah, like i thought, everyone forgets you, totally forgot about that, been quite a while!

It gets a mention by Brigger here: http://undeadfriend.com/comic/undead-friend-chapter-06-page-16/ So yeah, the game will actively remove the memory of losers. ...and not to give too/ many teasers, but the next chapter will have some...more information on that. Also some spotlight time for Darwin and Haley.

So here's a public post from John Allison's Patreon.John Allison posted:A number of people have asked me, since Steeple started, with its complex sea monster mythology, if Desmond Fishman would appear in it. I think this was also an inadvertent way of asking if Steeple is part of the Scary Go Round Cinematic Universe. It wouldn't be good for Des to appear in Steeple. It would damage the comic very badly. But Steeple can appear in Des' comic, "Cattywampus", and so he has now moved to the Cornish town of Tredregyn.  plus a bonus pic of Maggie and Des from Allison's Instagram

scary ghost dog posted:getting back into narrative longform webcomics after catching up on gunnerkrigg and kill six billion. did unsounded ever end Just Offscreen posted:Nah its still going but I just can't generate the give-a-shits about the characters to keep reading. Unsounded is still going other then the occasional "scheduled" break. I still really enjoy it for the characters and word building, but jumping from so many different sets of characters, side stories, and settings back and forth it sure can take a while for anything to move forward much with any particular group. Some of it seems more like the multiple stories the author wants to write for themselves because she sure does love her characters, then conveying the story to be easily read and seen which is fine, but I totally get how that can get tiring for plenty of readers, myself sometimes included. I still like the unique universe, and the author having so much of it fleshed out in their head when she does the constant tumblr Q&A's that it keeps my interest, but I do wish we could fast forward a bit pretty often. I feel like that might be part of my issue with it, the fact that the author has it all figured out but really likes hinting and teasing at things with no context and no reason for anyone to have a clue about what's going on. It's like a jig saw puzzle with half the pieces missing, but I guess that's supposed to be "clever", both for the author and anyone trying to piece anything together, with the hint that one day the rest of the pieces will show up years from now. That might all sound like a tough criticism, but I mean it more as a complement in the "I care enough that I just want some answers" category then anything.

Just people giving multi-paragraph speeches loaded with jargon on every single page, with cyberpunk stuff in the background. Like a webcomic version of Shirow Masamune.
