Haha the main interaction I found in the archives between Adam and me was me yelling at him to stop feeding a troll.

I'm not too surprised by the Order of the Stick thing - people who remember D&D fondly are probably a pretty good demographic at this point, and it's managed to write a pretty epic storyline with jokes in every one of 600=-odd strips. They have an enormous and devoted forum/community - but then who doesn't?

Have you guys seen her give a reading? It's totally inimitable, she has this amazing tossed-off rapid fire Hepburn delivery.

It's comfort-food -- not quite junk food but definitely not haute -- but Bad Machinery really hits the spot for me. Love those kids. Allison is a pretty tight plotter.

Bad Machinery is really good. I love the dialogue.
― Mordy, Friday, 22 June 2012 16:58 (eleven years ago) link
Yeah, Allison's stuff is great. Amazing how far he's come along, not that Bobbins was bad by any means, but his "kid's" material is so beyond it now.

I really like the Hark! A Vagrants I've seen posted here. I'd never heard of Kate Beaton before.
― bamcquern, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 03:25 (eleven years ago) link
her comics are available on the web and most people probably know of her from the web but i dunno if it's really a webcomic other than by those two criteria.
― Philip Nunez, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 03:31 (eleven years ago) link
i thought all of her comics originate on the web? what else would the definition be?
― Mordy, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 03:42 (eleven years ago) link
i kno lolwiki but the first line of her wiki page is "Kate Beaton (born September 8, 1983) is a Canadian webcomic artist."
― Mordy, Tuesday, 10 July 2012 03:43 (eleven years ago) link
well at some point garfield will also fit those criteria, too, so there needs to be something else.

i have an easier time thinking of garfield as a webcomic than hark a vagrant to be honest.

All of her comics created for the web seems kind of a crucial distinction from Garfield.

i was looking for examples of really good webcomics a few years before, and really couldn't find any. I thought perry bible fellowship and hark a vagrant would fit the bill, but it turned out both comics had been published in print before putting stuff on the web, and it seemed like the web being the primary delivery vehicle for the comics is just an economic decision rather than an aesthetic one.
― Philip Nunez, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 17:37 (eleven years ago) link
I'm not sure it's ever an aesthetic decision - has anyone claimed that they would turn down an offer of being printed in newspapers because their art is ill-suited to the medium?
― Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 11 July 2012 17:39 (eleven years ago) link
the dude who made leisure town said he thought his stuff would look terrible in print.

hark a vagrant was published before its livejournal days? PBF was "published" but i think in a student newspaper or something
