Posting links is stupid, no one looks at links. Post comics (which have url tags wrapped around them). Complaining about posting comics in a webcomic thread is double stupid.  Keep posting comics.

I've been meaning to gush about Widdershins' latest chapter for months, and now that we're posting images I think I'll just show why: That's from before the adventure proper even starts. Until then, it's this incredible warm (not to the point of saccharine) family gathering, full of people happy to see each other, distant relatives being introduced, snippets of stories being told and food being shared. After that, it's the best Romancing the Stone-type plot I've ever seen. It's a really sweet and organic romance, and, for once, the bookish scholar doesn't have to muss up her hair or lose her glasses or anything to participate in the action. Not to mention the villains, who are incredible--a super-hammy musclebound French noblewoman, a wizard talented enough to teleport but who just wants to take a nap, and the mastermind who manages to flirt our hero to a standstill. It's just a delight to read from start to finish, and while it ties together a lot of long-standing plot threads it also stands quite well on its own, being essentially a prequel to the series so far. Anyway, yeah. Read Widdershins and be filled with emotions and magic! Otherkinsey Scale fucked around with this message at 03:37 on Feb 13, 2016 |

if you like widdershins you should probably give spare keys for strange doors a look it's sort of the halfway point between that and Ghostbusters

More comics! This time from DeviantArt! The Veligent by Reptangle  Beautifully drawn fantasy story with lots of cute critters. LOOK AT THOSE COLORS!! http://reptangle.deviantart.com/art/Cover-of-The-Veligent-color-version-588552136 Dead Tree by James Johnson, aka MutantComix  I love this artist. He's silly as all hell and everything he makes has this Troma level of self-mockery. One of the main characters is a robot skeleton with a massive spiky robot dick exposed at all times. http://mutantcomix.deviantart.com/art/Dead-Tree-Page-01-449212749 Chancellor Autopsy by AutopsyJuice  This author is comedy gold and one hell of a great artist. I don't really understand what the plot of her comic is but the art and humor are just too charming. http://autopsyjuice.deviantart.com/gallery/55571068/Chancellor-Autopsy

The earlier Octopus pie comics are really better, because the more constrained art fit the scale if storytelling. It's expanded visually but this has ended up underlining the least interesting parts of the comic. Also, it's really... American? In that almost solipsistic way that David Foster Wallace's writing is American. As a Euro, its nearly suffocating.

I like the cycle of the thread where we post cool new comics we found I've been reading Daughter of the Lilies lately. It's sort of like Unsounded so far, in that it's a pseudo-medieval fantasy world permeated by magic and the comic can get graphic at times, but it has substantially more likeable characters and about 70% less time spent talking about dry magic mechanics and dull politics between hawt anime men! There's also some mystery going on know about what exactly the mage girl is under her mask, which is intriguing (be careful not to flip to the main webpage because latest update is super spoilery!)

If we are talking fantasy webcomics, I cannot not recommend Digger by Ursula Vernon. Charming writing, dry humor and a world makes me reach for the dice without thinking. http://diggercomic.com/blog/2007/02/01/wombat1-gnorf/

Also it's finished (has been for a while), always a plus. My only gripe is that while I was waiting on the final updates, it seemed to end much more suddenly than the epic scope of the story had led me to anticipate. Being objective though, I think I've just been ruined by too many long form comics. It's very good and I have no substantial criticisms.

Benagain posted:It's great living in Chicago because no one will ever get sick of your stories about how awesome the city is. Primarily because they will never let you tell them and instead begin talking about shootings, political corruption, and how your beloved home is a symbol of everything wrong in the country from either a left or right perspective. It's great living in Prague because no one talks about how great the city is. They ask how much you know about the Czech Republic and then laugh because almost nothing is exported no one on the outside knows much of anything. Then they tell you about how Vin Diesel is a douche for breaking something on the Charles Bridge one time and the American version of Budweiser is bullshit. Also, Puck! by ElectricGecko  Goofball romp with absurdly hot legendary fairies and demigoddesses. Also, the author is one of the nicest guys ever. http://www.puckcomics.com/

I've been reading up on comics that I hadn't looked at in some time. So far I've caught up on Cucumber Quest, Paranatural, Unsounded, Wilde Life, and Stand Still, Stay Silent. Now I have a large chunk of Gunnerkrigg Court to read up on.

Let's hope they go more LoTR than Narnia. I don't normally bet on people knowing how to write good subtlety though, especially about JESUS. Also, I want to see if I can figure out the author's denomination just from the comic. You can already tell they're some kind of trinitarian.
