Oh, I love Bunny! It's so plotless but excellent. And the art is so weird.

Boondocks. 'Nuff said.


Edit: fixed code

Work shall be fun next week, all these comics to look at...

(Playing blind Pictionary, me drawing)
Ella: Is it a giraffe?
Me (stops drawing): No
Ella: Star Trek?
Me: Yes!

Men in hats!

I have finished Questionable Content, and it shall now be in my bookmarks.

My bookmarks of webcomics/comics available on the web, more or less in the order that I check them (on days when there's anything to check):

Dilbert (daily, print strip)
Get Fuzzy (daily, print strip)
Ghastly's Ghastly Comic (sundays, adult only)
Nuklear Power/8-bit Theater (tues/thurs/sat)
Penny Arcade (mon/wed/fri)
PvP Online (daily, i think. Kurtz fails to understand that other people's comics, jokes, and ideas belong to them, and he should not use them without permission. also he cannot draw, and can only photoshop. still, worth a read most of the time)
Real Life Comics (Weekdays. getting a bit crap as the server has issues and dean's lost his tentative hold on 'funny', but oh well.)
Queen of Wands (daily, reruns with commentary. this was a great serries while it lasted)
Shaw Island (mon/wed/fri, one of the best comics EVER)
Sexy Losers (irregularly updated at best. adults only. drawn by someone named Clay with the intials CG... not me though. really.)
Something Positive (daily, one of the best comics EVER)
The New Adventures of Bobbin (theoretically updated on thursdays. not really that great, but sometimes worth a laugh)
Bob the Angry Flower (fridays, one of the best comics EVER)
the K-Chronicles/TH(ink) (both updated weekly, not sure when. some might find it racist due to its afroamerican centered focus and often political content)
Ctrl+Alt+Del (mon/wed/fri, i think... might be weekdays)
Two Lumps (mon/wed/fri, I think)
Midnight Macabre (theoretically weekdays, currently irregular)
Weebls Stuff (irregular)
Digger (tues/thurs. a pay-to-view comic by an amazing artist. check out her website for groovy stuff)
Questionable Content (weekdays. too much focus on indie crap, not enough nudity, otherwise hillarious)

Flem Comics 2.0 is on hiatus so I don't check it anymore

"If I wanted to read Wuthering Heights, I'd shoot my self."

Alien Loves Predator

Seriously funny and wrong comic. The turnstile one has me in stitches every time.

Weebl and Bob, Weebl and Bob!!!

Sorry, calling bullshit on that. Kurtz can most definately draw. He then cleans it up in Illustrator, and by now has an enormous library of characters and poses, which he re-uses all the time, which is why some people think he can't draw. His photoshop skills, meanwhile, are crap.
He has a good grasp of popular culture, but I agree, the writing is not the best. Funny 3 out of 5 times a week.

Dean has had server issues since day one.
I like the current "Lost in the car" storyline. Dean has the same "He can't draw" problem as Kurtz. Updates are very irregular, but he has nice jokes sometimes.

Now these should be added to your daily trawl:
- Websnark. Not a comic but about comics. Mostly. Sometimes. Eric Burns will also cater to Buzzfloyd. He has "Strunk and White"-t-shirts...
- Gossamer Commons. Well written comic by Eric Burns (The websnark guy).
- Yirmumah. Kind of crude humour, but DJ Coffman has the skills to pull it off. Lately the main reason of being seems to be to piss off people. Reading this less and less.
- The Pet Professional. You must have seen it at PVP. It's well drawn, well written, and it's funny. About a hired killer for pets. (Killing pets, not hired by pets.) The site sucks, so go HERE for the first comic.
- Irregular Comic.,
Geeky web"comic", using Lego figures and roleplaying figurines (The author insists he can't draw). Crazy and funny. Don't forget to read the footnotes.
- Squidi/A Modest Destiny/The Starship Destiny. He's closing the site, but the comics are available as Zips. The author has very long toes.
- Sinfest.You have about 5 years of archives to go through. Brilliant stuff. I'm particuculary fond of the dog and cat comics.
- Schlock Mercenary. A "comic space opera". Howard Tayler has his SciFi Facts in place. Everything is backed up up by research or storylines. about 5 years worth of archives. Worth it.
- WulffMorgenthaler. if you like bizarre stuff, this is the comic to read. Can be incredibly funny.
- Goats. This one goes of on so many tangents that it's easier to read from the beginning. It's lost me, but it still is GOOD.
- Wapsi Square. Incredible comic about some girls in Minneapolis. Good in big doses, because storylines can go on for a bit. I'm in love with Monica. Start from the beginning.
- Shortpacked. By the guy from Roomies. About a guy that works in a toy store. Fun.

Kurtz can't draw. it's not the greatest crime in the world to lean on photoshop like it's the only crutch in the world, which is why Frank Miller is not in jail after his Dark Knight graphic novels, but at least Miller can actually DRAW (and paint!)

Kurtz, on the other hand, manages a few static poses that he photoshops like it's going out of style.

yes he can draw well enough to get those static poses, but Schulz never once used a computer or a hired hand to do any line or lettering in Peanuts. now THAT is drawing.

it's also grossly unfair to compare kurtz to schultz, but oh well.

my biggest beef with Kurtz is his outright "It's okay if I do it" theft of other people's stuff. Do you remember his strips after the first Lord of the Rings movie, the "What if LotR was like an online game/message board?"

I had a classmate who wrote one of the jokes kurtz used for that. He was decent enough to admit that he stole them all off a particular forum. The thing is, he never asked. It didn't even occur to him that someone else might object to him using their joke. In the end, he got lucky because everyone was a big enough fanboy/fangirl that they didn't mind.

Remember Kurtz's "guest comic week" where he drew all the strips in an attempt to copy the other people's style? And signed THEIR names to them? He was genuinely surprised that the other artists were pissed off about that.

PvP can be quite funny, and once a month or so Kurtz draws something new to photoshop into it, but it's the simple "Ohh, I like that, so I will take it. Why not, I'm Scott Fucking Kurtz" mentality that I really have a problem with.

as for real life...

i dunno, sometimes i think Dean's *sad* geeky rather than *funny* geeky. there are stretches were the strip works like that. but i think i've also moved out of his target audience demographic, so that could just be me.

"If I wanted to read Wuthering Heights, I'd shoot my self."

Too much indie crap?

We all know what everyones favourite comic is though, don't we?!



My list:

Men In hats (may it rest in peace)
Gluemeat
Chopping Block
Ctrl alt del
Weebl and bob
Boxjam
Queen Of Wands
Penny Arcade
8 bit theatre
the longest and most pointless adventure in the history of long and pointless adventures
We are robots (an infrequently updated, but fucking hilarious set of animations)

Why are pirates called pirates?

oh, good call with We Are Robots. i don't check it because it updates about once a decade, but there are some nice little cartoons there.

"If I wanted to read Wuthering Heights, I'd shoot my self."

Gothbots due to be uploaded at the end of the month

Why are pirates called pirates?

I shouldn't be looking at this thread again.
It ate so much of my lifetime yesterday...

"Hoher Sinn liegt oft im kindischen Spiel." (Friedrich Schiller)

I know I introduced Doors to Boxjam's Doodle, but surely I've shown it to you before, Garner? Boxjam is one of the best comics on the net, in my opinion.

I'm going to have a great time looking at all of these. Thanks, guys!

Mrs G
The Garner who cares.
