Webcomics: S/D

it is nobody's fault but my own, but I just read the whole Three Word Phrase archive bcz it looked like a webcomic I saw one wryly poignant strip from once and I was going to defend it (wryly poignant is p. much all I want out of comics at this point in life), and that strip is totally not in the archive so it probably wasn't TWP at all, and I suck for even looking

to be fair, it's ok (maybe even good!) for a webcomic. pretty sure any random sampling of webcomics will pull up worse webcomics.

also, are you seriously comparing his stuff to the C+P rage comix? i mean, come on, man. i guess we're just not on the same wavelength here

yeah, vgcats is one of those that doesn't even pretend to be for public consumption

I like this one

And this one

I laughed at this one too

The later ones are definitely more likely to be funny.

peanuts is still the best webcomic, though.

The drawing's not great but it's not embarrassing. twp, I mean.

This is like a joke in a Brendan Fraser movie but I like it better

I definitely laughed at this one. Drawings of penises are often funny by default, though.

I would seriously take a rage comic over p much any "web comic" besides pbw and maybe half of hark a vagrant

Pup? When I Am King?

"A Arm"

This is a cheap laugh but I laughed and that's worth something.

Inside the Actors Studio with Rick Ross

pplains just so otm in here I can't even

Those comics are like Etsy in four panels. Fucking disgusting.

Are you gonna be on ilx all the time after you get laid off?

I think it's really uncool to talk about my personal and IRL life. I'd appreciate it if you refrained from doing so in the future. Thanks in advance.

yeah, here on ILX we like our assholery shut off from the outside world, to run free with impunity!

The Shining one is everything I hate about Family Guy that everyone tells me Family Guy isn't like anymore.

And the others are way too cute and self-aware.

The dice one and the Kool-Aid one were okay in a pbf wannabe sorta way.

Tarot cards would've been 23% funnier if panels 2 & 4 had been cut.

It's like Akbar & Jeff 2012.

webcomics are the worst thing in the world, but 'no egrets' made me laugh

all yall finding this stuff intolerable really need to check out vgcats to recalibrate.

brb

pplains, i like you, but i just don't get you

I just want the damn things to be honest and funny. Don't try to pull at my heart strings, don't try to insert an out-of-nowhere pop reference as the only gag and don't try to fill space to fill space. All I ask.

VG Cats didn't thrill me, but I acknowledge that I was born during the Nixon administration. That said, this was funny:

cuz we've all been there guys, amirite?

(And I'm not really some crazed rage-comicaholic. I remember when The Simpsons were known as the crudest thing on television and since then, I've seen Beavis & Butthead -> South Park (->Terrence & Phillip) -> all down the line to where we now have c&p'd panels with badly drawn Disney characters speaking in mangled text. Can't wait to see what comes next.)

Hey Whiney, when you try so hard to be an asshole on the internet, it affects people's "IRL life." The division isn't as clean as you'd like it to be.

yah, but we do have a general line of demarcation regarding people's jobs or unwanted conversation that connects their ILX username with their IRL names
so deep breath let's all be cool? feel free to call each other dicks maybe? i hear that's what the kids are doing these days

or ask dickish q's to whiney on the "whiney q&a" thread, instead of going off-topic in this thread clearly delineated for whiney to be a dick in

The sweaty babies = classic surreal farce, not my tiptop favourite thing but I'll eat it up all day, sure. The same joke as eg Father Ted (which might be my tip top favourite thing, now that I think about it)

The apple store comic it's against = shit in a can. And totally filling space to fill space, the first two panels could be removed and it'd still be as funny which = no funny. And also with the pop culture reference that you hate?

Is it a thing where you see the art as being as bad in both, but twp is worse because it's trying?

Cuh, some of us were doing comics drawn badly for humorous effect years before these 4chan upstarts.

However, comics where the creators actually give a shit about quality can also be worthwhile. Such as Nedroid or Gunnerkrigg Court.

Who knows, perhaps there is room for both in this world. IMAGINE THAT!

I'm making fun of web comics and you're making fun of my job and career and personal life. There's a clear, unblurry distinction there and if you can't see it, maybe the moderators can

Sorry for response, didn't see that forks covered this... Carry on, thread.

Ha, goaste. I was in love with their versions of Nemi strips.

xposts

hey whiney can you tell us why Pup and Bodyworld and When I Am King are shit?

When did WGW go off script and get personal with anyone here? Unless you're all taking these twee-ass strips to heart and finding your chivalry threatened when they're called out for the shit they are.

I probably need to just take my business over to this thread since both the dolans and the "kids have fun" strips can join hands together and be as one there:

What's the worst online comic strip?
