The big Jeanne stuff was just three chapters ago. If you think that plotline is at its resolution with no furhter consequences, you're too zoomed in.

I just googled it. Apparently there was criticism of their lack of diversity, and they handled it really badly (the latter part is why the boycott).

I'm really happy to learn he's making comics that I can go read now, but Twitter is the worst possible place to post comics. When I click to focus on an image it usually gets smaller.

Yeah, Toby Fox's music there was described by GGDG as perfectly descriptive of every Nightmare Knight fight until our story's incarnation. Or something along those lines. It's great. (and he also wrote something as Noisemaster theme music which is pretty perfect).

Why are we assuming Scout definitely meant "half-sisters" when she said "step-sisters"? Riley remarrying doesn't seem impossible.

The actual chapters of Bad Machinery are very good and don't lean on the old comics at all. In the margins between official "The Case Of the _____" chapters though, he's fallen into the habit of writing comics that don't really fit into any category, bringing in characters from sgr and bm and at one point even reviving "bobbins" a couple times. I recommend just looking at the BM archive and clicking on the book covers to read the stuff that is well-written and self-contained.

Chapter 2 is twice as long as Chapter 1. Chapter 3 is only a little longer than Chapter 2, but it's clearly only the first half of an arc that would have been a single chapter. Chapter 4 aims to finish the arc started in Chapter 3, but meanders and is mostly about a new character the author is really excited about. By now the events of Chapter 2 feel mythological ages ago even though in-fiction it's only been half a day, so Chapter 5 is all about resolving the epic-feeling sub-plot of a sub-plot of a sub-plot that's become the entire story now -- and it's as long as the first three chapters put together. Chapter 6 started in 2015 and has four pages so far.

Max moved to (I forget the name of the town because it's been a decade) two days ago. The relationship between Isaac, Isabel and Ed has undergone way more than two days of evolution, but I can kinda accept that because they're middle-schoolers. Lots of other comics, ostensibly featuring adults, have the same problem where you can tell, even just reading through a bunch of finished pages, that the story developed over a way longer period than its characters and world supposedly experienced. People who two hours ago were reluctant associates are now die-hard teammates because the last hour felt like a year, for some reason. Every location seems to become the entire world remarkably quickly. A fact that is a new mind-blowing revelation becomes a commonly-understood part of the world in a weirdly short amount of time. Most recently I noticed this reading through A Better Place and Demon's Mirror, but I feel like it's pretty widespread. (I want to point fingers at Ava's Demon, but supposedly the author wrote all of it ahead of time, and I'm not certain enough to confidently call bullshit on that.)

Man, I really want to be excited for this, I was a huge fan of Broodhollow and backed the kickstarters, etc. But after two different false starts on the same chapter, each preceded by a hiatus then a "return", I'm not feeling particularly hopeful.

Regularity is even bigger than frequency. A comic (or youtube series, or blog) that posts every-other-wednesday at exactly 8pm eastern will gather regular readers more easily than one that posts on random days and times, usually less than a week between updates but sometimes up to two weeks. Obviously plenty of comics do just fine without predictable schedules, but if you can swing it, it'll help. "Habitual readers" are an entire class of audience that can only exist in that environment.

Oh yeah, I started to read that (it's like, five mini comic ideas that he just kinda ran with, one per weekday), but navigating a webcomic on Tumblr is one of the worst experiences in web design. I'm sad I read the spoiler above instead of seeing it evolve for myself, but... I can't say I'd rather have kept up with it on Tumblr, so nothing's been lost. I remember when it started, I was thinking "I bet when he makes a real site for these, someone'll mention it in the SA webcomics thread. I'll wait til then. " I'm actually amazed that never happened.

I follow everything with RSS. Started with comics (because manually checking 30+ of them, with wildly varying update frequencies, became untenable), and now including blogs and anything else I'd otherwise catch myself "checking just in case it updated since I checked earlier today". Now there's just one page I refresh constantly, and I've cleared my brain of that nagging feeling that maybe I'm forgetting something so I should stay on the internet just another two minutes. I haven't actually tried to follow a webcomic that didn't have a working RSS feed in years, but I imagine if I did I would fail. Probably most webcomic readers only keep up with 1-5 of them, so check manually, but the people in this thread have generally accumulated more comics and so skew towards RSS usage.

The subject was Aaron Diaz. Webcomics may be a terrible way to make money in general, but they're certainly a better way for Aaron Diaz to make money than painting would be.

I have the (first?) book, and thanks to this thread I reread it tonight instead of what I was planning on doing. It's definitely good. Makes you want to say "gently caress it" in a way that dissolves some anxieties at the same time as it reinforces others. Book ends before the later stuff, like the one AriadneThread just posted. I remember a lot of the best strips were from that era, which is too bad for me.

I just remembered Basic Income Please started Hourly Comics day. Man, webcomics history, right? And if anyone wants to read the entire screed, it's still here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/73258510/sad-pictures-for-children/posts/759318 Honestly part of me thinks this is just someone who believes a lot of what I think I do, having the courage of their convictions. Which is a harrowing thought. I can't completely dismiss it though. That same part of me respects B.I.P. for that whole series of events. Thinks she's right.

FunkyAl posted:Also like really and I mean this sincerely, picking on internet webcomic people is frequently picking on the saddest most pathetic members of society. I have nothing to gain from the further belittlement of josh lesnick, formerly internet famous masturbator. It's silly! Who needs that? All I'm saying is that .. a particular variety of contrarinism is implied by bringing that guy up in the first place (in a post I still barely understand) and then being sad that people jump to mocking him, and it's the same variety of contrarinism I'd recognize from that zine argument. And that moment of connecting those dots was satisfying enough to comment on. Sorry, this is a dumb direction for this comic to go. Let's change the topic. Here's a comic that I really wonder if other goons have opinions on: Sam and Fuzzy.
