I used to print them off and tuck them away in my high school binder to re-read during study hall. That and Bob and George. And Real Life. gently caress.

I know it doesn't get a whole lot of attention because it updates fairly slowly, but I have to give Stonebreaker props for being consistently good.

I think Spike is my favorite webcomics person- shes likable and ultra competent, and I wish we had more people from whatever bizarro version of the webcomics industry she came from.

Cat Mattress posted:Tim Jones travel in the distant past, accidentally causes the invasion of the British Islands by the Finno-Korean empire in 1066, Tackleford is never founded and all the Bobbins/SGR/BM characters are retconned out of existence. Except for Tim Jones himself of course. It's all pretty pointless if he's not made to wallow in the terribleness he has wrought.

This is asinine- doesn't he still have the doctor McNinja website? I realize this is a new set of series but it seems like a waste to not utilize it

TwoPair posted:To each their own I guess but drawn porn just always seems gross to me. Perhaps I am the prude in the wrong. See I often feel the opposite- live action stuff too often is exploitive, demeaning, and skeevy. With comics if you find good authors or groups of authors (specifically like the ones that rejected Josh's submissions) it's much more enjoyable.

Wrist Watch posted:I can see people enjoying it during an archive binge or something but that sounds miserable to sit through, especially given that the comic appears to have an actual story it's trying to tell that apparently constantly gets put on hold for a month or two so people can gently caress. Well I mean you could use the same argument for any action heavy scene lasting longer than four pages or so.

Same. Which is a real shame because Willis seems like a nice guy. I do wish you would just start from scratch.

wiegieman posted:On the internet, just like everywhere else, the worst people have all the money. That's being overly harsh. Jeph is hardly the worst- not by a long shot. At worst, he is like, the Denny's of webcomics. And I mean that as no insult. For most it's perfectly serviceable but never exactly push the format forward. Also Mods please change my name to The Denny's of Webcomics.

Typical Pubbie posted:Questionable Content isn't good for webcomics. People make it out to be this easily accessible, mellow read when it's actually terrible as an introduction to the format. It's nearly 4000 pages long and counting, the art is abysmal, the archive exists only in name (just a scrolling numerical list of pages), the website is ugly and partially broken on mobile. The writing is never better than mediocre. The comic isn't part of a 'hive' so it doesn't drive traffic to other comics. It sucks up enormous amounts of money and reader time. It doesn't expand the industry, it crowds it out. You need to calm down- a lot of people including myself have read it at one point or another, and it was a fairly good intro the the slice of life sorta stuff that I was into at the time...fourteen years ago. It's ancient as far as the industry is concerned, and I don't see it going anywhere or aspiring to more than "milquetoast." I can't really fault Jeph for falling into a groove of making content for people willing the give him cash for it. I think webcomics are doing just fine with old fairly boring comics like that on the playing field. If it wasn't QC it would be some other inoffensive long run comic- it's how things work in pretty much any media. They make not promote creativity in the medium, but you might as well complain that trees crowd out saplings.

Can anybody tell me the name of a webcomic short story I ran across some years back? It was all in shades of blue and it was a short story about a man who crashed in the mountains and used a zombie as an allegory for cannibalism.
