I follow hundreds of webcomics. RSS is literally the only way I can keep up with them. If a comic doesn't have a working RSS feed, I will not remember its existence to check it for updates.

"Nick identifies as a copter" is entirely people reading in their own issues into a comic that already straight up accepts trans theory 101 as an assumed.

Playing with a transphobic meme like is dangerous. Out of context it sounds really bad.

Well good news, the comic doesn't do that, and the claim that it does was pretty lovely.

I think that thread got closed when the indeterminate hiatus of comic-death descended on SFP.

Actually, that's an interesting question (to me): What are some comics that went onto indefinite hiatus and then actually came back and finished?


Zebra Girl went on a small 11 year hiatus, and then came back and actually got a satisfying ending.

I read all my comics via feedly. It's kind of a pain in the rear end to dig through your subscriptions and actually remove a feed, so a comic really has to piss me off before I bother.

There's a bunch of comics I've only stopped following just because the rss feed broke and I haven't thought of them often enough to notice.

Honestly I don't think any of these modern attempts at webcomic horrors have managed to surpass the classic Look What I Brought Home yet for sheer irredeemable shittiness.

I don't really care at all about Jeph Jacques's butt choices or aspirations, but the reason he gave for censoring the butt was interesting to me. Does Google Ads really get angry at people for veering a bit from sfw stuff on occasion?



I think it's not even hypothetical, IIRC google already gave him grief about showing roboass in a previous comic and he had to replace it with a censored version, and he just skipped the extra step this time.

Has Alethia been mentioned yet? It's a sci-fi story about dysfunctional robot societies, and an amnesiac dysfunctional robot traveling from place to place, obsessed with repairing their inefficiencies. The story's been kind of stuck in one zone for a few chapters now (the peril of Writing About Writing), but there's some powerful lesrobotic energy to things from flagging too badly.

A bit tangential, but Meredith Gran, Professor of Webcomics has put out a new trailer for the point-and-click adventure game she's been working on.

Is there a functioning rss feed for FFaK? I want to follow it but these days I can't remember to check a website every so often just in case maybe updates.

Yeah that one broke ages ago, sadly. Oh, well.

Recommend me some good gay webcomics, I need something to read and I'm still pissed about how Beastars ended because I'm trash.


Peritale, a slightly gay comic about lovely fairies, just wrapped up a VERY gay side story about differently lovely fairies (an elf and a troll that gay chicken each other into getting married and raising a human baby.)

My favorite example was Kid Radd, which was lost because the Internet it was designed for doesn't exist anymore. You need to dig out ancient web browsers from the dawn of html in order to view it natively.

Webcomics have, for better or mostly worse, been completely industrialized at this point. There's still quality bespoke stuff out there, of course, even on the content mills, but it's just going to get harder and harder to find anything unique as it gets drowned out in the noise. That's why threads like this are good, get the stuff that deserves to be seen out there where people can see it, even if it's just goons

I remember when Sluggy Freelance crossed over with User Friendly for like five strips.

I kind of miss the days when every webcomic would cross over with every other webcomic for no goddamn reason.
