Favorite Webcomics

Mandi-chan · 08-21-2008, 11:43 AM

Hiya.

I know a few years ago (on a side Message Board we had for a while there) we had a thread about our favorite webcomics.

I thought it might be fun to revisit that discussion by starting a new thread here.

Here's mine:

1/0-By Mason Williams, aka Tailsteak. Tailsteak writes and draws his webcomic, and interacts with the characters he creates while doing so. They are aware of him, the world outside of their universe, and are aware that they are in a webcomic. Very interesting comic, and I found it to be a blast to read and re-read.

Penny and Aggie-Written By T Campbell and Drawn By Gisèle Lagacé. It focuses on two high school girls, the queen bee Penny and the hippish outcast Aggie. As they argue on/off throughout the comic; we observe their problems, love lives, and the politics of high school's popular crowd. The art style and writing both develope nicely as the story moves forward, aside from a few guest written/drawn strips.

MTN: Gaiden- By Tigerfog (I don't have to say anything about this one

)

Thorn- By Amy Mebberson. Set in the 1950s, this cute webcomic stars little Rosie. She's an adorable child, hellbent on ruling the world one day, and often spends her time annoying her older sister and causing trouble.

If you're a fan of video games, Penny Arcade is really all you need. Looking for Group isn't bad, either, if you know about World of Warcraft.

Penny Arcade, of course
Perry Bible Fellowship
Castle Vidcons
Cyanide and Happiness

Dinosaur Comics - The best one and with regular updates.

Rolling over the strip gives you added funny (as with xkcd) and also rolling over the 'comments' link above the strip gives you some extra text in the bar at the bottom of your browser.

White Ninja Comics - This hasn't been that funny as of late and it's hit and miss at the best of times

Penny Arcade - I'm sure everyone knows about this

xkcd - And this

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Actually updates daily most of the time. Highlight the red button underneath the strip for extra stuff

Perry Bible Fellowship - Also very funny. Shame he's not updating regularly anymore.

VG Cats - Very hit and miss, I don't check this regularly and don't get my hopes up

Real Life

Is that Greg Dean? I used to know his Girlfriend (At the time anyway, but I hear they're married now? Her name is Liz.). I've met him a few times and he's a cool guy.

Yep. That's Greg. He and Liz got married about a year ago. They recently moved to Texas.

Dinosaur Comics is funny. There's occasional ones in Irregular Webcomics (which has several different storylines. My faves being the Indiana Jones and Steve Irwin ones )

**GK Punk** · 08-22-2008, 04:01 PM

You know what's funny about that? I actually helped encourage her to talk to him for the first time.

Man, I haven't talked to her in years... I should see if I can get contact info off of their site!

And also Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is one of my favorites. The Batman ones are easily my favorite.

WHAT??!?! No one has mentioned Achewood yet?

Ray Smuckles would be very displeased.

Earthsong - great fantasy, Vol. 1 also available in TPB
Fey Winds - another fantasy/quest
Cheshire Crossing - Dorothy, Alice, and Wendy team up
The Dreamer - Revolutionary War romance, soon to be published by IDW
No Pink Posies - about a woman who owns her own comics shop

*Cipher* · 11-10-2008, 09:49 PM

White Ninja and Dinosaur Comics are the only two I've found that consistantly make me laugh.

I guess I'm just a fan of surreal humor.
