Got to be a lot of bickering and in-fighiting near the end of the thread and the artists just lost steam and interest. The two best things to come of that thread. Tribute to Sean:

Are you guys sure there's no more Steve Lichman out there? They're amazing.

So they're a couple of unfathomable horrors, a lich and an antediluvian vampire, purportedly the pinnacle of evil potency but now ekeing out a pathetic existence brought on by terminal boredom, ethicosis and unchecked teen humpery, to the point of being bullied by a loving 3 hit dice minotaur. And still I get the feeling the comic isn't even about any of that, but something completely different. Existentialism? Character development? Human relations? It's genius. I can't predict even one speach bubble ahead where it's gonna go. I love it.

None yet and they're by Dave Rapoza who tends to start a bunch of projects and then skip around to other stuff so who knows.
People probably know him best for his TMNT art:


He's got a few other webcomicky things but none of them lasted that long:

I know you're supposed to read the girlfriend as a vapid hypocrite, but I can only read it as him saying absolutely nothing to her during the entire date. Just sits there, staring at her, not saying a word until he gets home and then beelines for the xobox, having endured his girlfriend for hours.

I bet it's a lot more honest than the author intended!

I know I said in this very thread that one shouldn't conflate the comicist and the comic but drat if it doesn't come across as ol' Pablo thinking a girl being at a bar with two dudes is somehow slutty.

But thanks for the links to his other works! (even though I'd hoped for another bucket of Lichman.)

This gets mentioned a lot, but it's just taking his usual super-speed and giving a new name to it. The really wacky Superman powers are when he gets super-hypnosis or something out of nowhere, unrelated to anything else he does.
