EnderAndrew Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Anyone here read web-comics? I'm looking for a new good one. I'm bored, and read way too fast. These are the comics I read daily. Sluggy Freelance - www.sluggy.com Player vs Player - www.pvponline.com El Goonish Shive - www.elgoonishshive.com Sinfest - www.sinfest.net Real Life Comics - www.reallifecomics.com General Protection Fault - www.gpf-comics.com Chopping Block - www.choppingblock.com Penny Arcade - www.penny-arcade.com I used to read Liberty Meadows, and Dilbert as well, but I prefer comics where I can go back through the whole archive when I get bored. I haven't touched Red Meat in a while either.
Gorth Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 I don't read that many web comics, but have you ever watched those short Halo movies Red-Vs-Blue on their web page ? “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
EnderAndrew Posted June 1, 2004 Author Posted June 1, 2004 I haven't watched them but I've heard good things. I don't stream video at work since I can't have computer speakers. I need to remember to hit that site at home. I can have a radio/CD player, but no computer speakers. Don't ask me.

I need to remember to hit that site at home. I can have a radio/CD player, but no computer speakers. Don't ask me. Heh, our laptops at work have "speakers", but 2x0.25 watt isn't that impressive. And Red-Vs-Blue is all about hilarious dialogue “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein
Gorth Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 Oh, and nodwick is quite funny too, unless you're a henchman... http://archive.gamespy.com/comics/nodwick/ The weekly Nodwick is just plain funny DnD self irony... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

sniggy Posted June 1, 2004 Posted June 1, 2004 http://www.pvponline.com/ this one is great. It's very hard to be polite if you're a cat.

EnderAndrew Posted June 1, 2004 Author Posted June 1, 2004 Thanks for all the suggestions! I'll check them out!
Dr. Lobotomy Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 8-bit theater is good for a few laughs. Avoid most comics which have a continuing storyline though. They go on for years and years without actually getting anywhere with their generally retarded plots.
kirottu Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Megatokyo My personal favourite. This post is not to be enjoyed, discussed, or referenced on company time.

EnderAndrew Posted June 2, 2004 Author Posted June 2, 2004 I read MegaTokyo for a while. I love anime, gaming, and Japan. Still some of the jokes seemed lost on me. Not to mention, when the artist kicked the writer out of the comic, I lost interest.
Blarghagh Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 That's the time when I lost interest in Megatokyo as well. Not too mention the artist guy pisses me off. I mean, take my favourite comic, Instant Classic(http://www.iccomics.com/), it gets updated sporadically. That's because this is a SIDE PROJECT of Brian Carrol. At the same time, he's also writing his own comic book called 'Checkers' which he's going to get published, he's in film school and has to write and direct several shorts per year(don't underestimate writing and directing, I recently wrote and directed my first short and it sucked because we underestimated how hard it was going to be), and as of recently, he also does another comic, called 'Trumpet Airlines'(http://www.trumpetairlines.com/). He has other things to do. But for the Megatokyo guy, it's his LIFE. He makes a living of it. He has no other job. Hell, judging by the fact that he's been on television on a documentary about 1337-speak of all things, he has no LIFE. Yet he never updates on time! In all aspects, he's a lazy f***ing bastard.

Tigranes Posted June 2, 2004 Posted June 2, 2004 Megatokyo and PvP are great... the former is getting swallowed up in its own morass of subplots and characters though. Lots of webcomic artists are either ones with full-time jobs or the younger ones in periods inbetween jobs. Then they either go with the job and kick the comic, do both... or make a living out of the comic.
