Teriyaki Hairpiece posted:I'm pretty tired of hearing that I just don't "get it". That I haven't had those friends, that I haven't been in those situations. I have, and I understand the humor in lovely people like that, but it's a bad comic. It just is. I can excuse lovely art, lovely writing, lovely jokes, I'm ready, bring it the gently caress on. I can't excuse MM&O. It's just not good. Not to SMG it up in here, but the execution is a part of the comic's tone. It's mediocre, inconsistent, and feels like all motivation is spent before the comic is done. It's a half-assed, cynical comic about half-assed, cynical losers. People who look down on any real effort, because they long ago realized they can't follow through on anything, and gave up. If the comic was more professional, it would defeat the premise. MM&O isn't a funny comic, outside of shadenfreude, or laughing as a defense against some absurdity you recognize in your own life. It's the logical conclusion of the "It's cool not to care." philosophy of a portion of our generation too broken or lazy to be the sexy hipsters we see on TV.

Pershing posted:Fell in love with Achewood due to this thread, super bummed that he wants us to experience it now as a blog so he can write a (probably terrible) novel and help start a soda company FFS. Fuuuuuuuck! I hadn't read Achewood in three months. Saw this, read four comics, and got my balls slammed in a file cabinet. gently caress you, Onstad.

No really. gently caress Chris Onstad. He's tried and failed a handful of things among years long hiatuses. He could have gracefully wrapped up Achewood years ago, and then I'd have said 'Fair enough'. In a couple years he's going to fire up the Ache-mo-tron again, ask that you please buy a t-shirt, manage 10 comics over the course of 5 months, and then gently caress off to have another nervous breakdown.

DancingShade posted:I'm impressed it still has a fan base but there you go. Niche market for anything apparently. Some nerds have a mental condition where they interpret any nearly impenetrable cesspool of canon as great epic storytelling. They are the bread and butter of every decade+ old narrative webcomic in existence.

grumplestiltzkin posted:Thanks to decades or even hundreds of years of inbreeding, most $1000+ ~purebred~ puppies are going to be much more likely to need expensive, frequent medical care, especially if you're the type of irresponsible shitler to buy from a backyard breeder. Meanwhile, the mutt you get for like $50 in fees from the pound is way more likely to be happy and healthy for far longer. Once you've treated all the crud your pup picked up in the shelter. My $50 shelter dog turned into a $350 shelter dog after treatment for worms and a respiratory infection. He's awesome, though.

Lemon posted:Oglaf is a really wierd one to me. Okay, not every webcomic needs to adhere to the 3-panel setup/feedline/punchline format but you can go too far the other way. It's oneshot jokes stretched out over a longform format. We already have gag comics with no unnecessary art. They're called jokes. gently caress's sake, let a dude draw a picture.

Really, the closest thing a cat feels to guilt is regret. Regret that they weren't as much of an rear end in a top hat as they could have been. Grandpa Tom looks up from his deathbed, and clutches at his closest progeny. "I...I could have knocked more poo poo off of counters. Don't be like me, son! Spray bottles are temporary. Nana's cookie jar is forever!"

Squidster posted:I just want to remind everyone that the webcomics scene in the 2000s was loving dire. 2007 and the art was still This. loving. Bad. I stopped reading this poo poo in '01, and you couldn't convince me this was 6 years on without the contemporary references. Everytime I'm reminded of Userfriendly, my brain shudders recalling some banner he had on the website featuring the main female character in a pose that was meant to be sexy, but the artist's silicone-lubed grasp of anatomy twisting it into some cruel mockery of the feminine form. It was like seeing your middle-school math teacher in diaphanous veils and contrapposto with nary a quarter inch of fingernail between your ten digits available to scratch out your eyes.

How did he go from awful to OK to bland and bad again? Way back before his stories got convoluted beyond interpretation, he had a soft pencils phase that wasn't high art, but it was pleasant.

They're visually interesting and have good topics, but if you're an adult who's already familiar with mental health care and whatnot it might seem shallow. And looking at the Patreon page it's... yeah, because it's for kids Trap sprung, but the subject matter is geared toward Japanese social problems, and loses some effect without the context of the tropes. drat, wanna goonsay myself there, but yeah, there's a lot of broad points and some that are specific enough to remind you it can really suck to be a Japanese kid.
