yeah i was hitting the randomize button and it seems to have been a steady progression. even around like 2005 it looks visibly different from 2003, which looks different from 2001, etc.

i'm genuinely curious though. does he still talk about the production process? if so, did he ever mention this?

like seriously wtf



some comic artists hyper-stylize their art over time and it becomes ugly.

there was another one of those "two guys on a couch play video games" comics that i can't remember the title of. but it had a big beefy blonde guy, a skinny brown haired guy, and a girl in a gray and pink hoodie. as the art got more cartoony and exaggerated over the years, the girl's hoodie zipper kept growing larger and larger, until it was the size of a necktie.

i don't know why i remember this.

Weirdly, I see loss memes from time to time, posted by people who were probably like 3 years old tops when that storyline was published on Ctrl alt del.

shit wizard dad

I hope WHOMP! Ronnie is doing OK, he dropped off last year and hasn't updated in forever.

I still have a bookmark folder of WebComics I open in a new page occasionally, but yeah over half of them are dead or a handful of updates a year. QC Jeph is still ongoing, bless him - just hit 5000 comics. PA as mentioned never changes apart from the art getting more outré. OGLAF is always fun to see what they'll come up with next.
