PMush Perfect posted:"What? You mean I, the mindreader who knows everything about how people think, might have cognitive dissonance???? Sounds like bullshit." Oh the basic idea (that he's got an incredibly weak self-knowledge and his own motivations and ideas aren't subject to the same scrutiny he can subject others to) is fine. The dialogue and depiction were hilariously bad, though. Like, 'read his own mind' is a terrible way to say 'you don't have a coherent ideology, you just go with what sounds right and because you can't see your thoughts laid out like other people's, you never learned to loving introspect! You dumbass!' ...I could go on but I think we've inflicted enough of this on the thread. I recently discovered a webcomic I should have not liked, Clown Corps, which is about shounen battle anime clowns. I'm really upset by how much I've enjoyed it so far, because I don't like clowns.

Is that a Newgrounds 'Madness' cross-face guy???  haven't thought about that aesthetic in so long; what a nostalgia trip!  in the best wayvvv i think they were originally marshmallows? who knows. so iconic to the early 2000s internet, tho, very heartwarming that someone cares enough to carry that banner forward even after the death of flash

Nuns with Guns posted:A couple webtoons have anime adaptions now, too, don't they? It's interesting seeing webcomics finally hitting a more mainstream vector, though admittedly only because a large corporate aggregator is collecting and farming them out rather than through truly independent developers. It helps that more and more of the cartoon big shots are former webcomic artists or went to school with them.

It’s simple and light and cute and not particularly difficult to keep in my rotation, and I admire Jeph’s regular stance of “people are complaining my comic is too gay. Time to make it EVEN GAYER.”

Yeah QC is the original potato chip of webcomics. There's plenty of better stuff out there but on its own, it's okay. My only problem is Jeph's habit of introducing new cast members all the time rather than even attempt to use one of the 40something characters he already has for a new story.

You capture a nice condensed slice of that Demon's Mirror tone and outlook, and I very much enjoyed both the banter and the details of that magitech altar powered by moth eyeballs. (While writing this post I went back to check and yeah, you're the poster who got me to binge-reread Demon's Mirror recently. Awesome! I love recognizing inspirations in stuff and this feels like a little reward for having spent that time.) Ditocoaf fucked around with this message at 09:06 on Feb 2, 2021 |

Hannelore was such a weird character. She started out as a super cliche snarky sassy 20something, then completely flipped into a delicate, neurotic mess, then got written out for like two years and is now a weird half way between the two.

These two will be QC's first male x male gay couple, won't they? That's probably no small part of it, considering this is almost certainly a Weird Straight DudeTM we're talking about.

The weirdest thing is that if there weren't evidence that the "old" dog comic is fake, I would honestly never believe that it was ripped off, just because of how utterly basic and common that joke is.

I'm trying to figure out an old comic I read, and am wondering if anyone here might know what it is. There was a magical tower, and the basement was like a monster realm and the monsters were also characters with plots, and there was an elevator with an evil demon in it.
