yeah, it's a bit silly to mix those too

but i think that she has simplified character design on purpose, so that she can poo poo out a billion comics every week

I will kill you with your own katana for this post, hog wilde. That's right, the katana your mother never wanted you to have...


But seriously, the fact that SSSS is basically a daily with that quality of art is beyond impressive.

oh, huh. honestly thought that character was a guy. the driver's brother (the scout) also threw me off for a while in the other direction.

it also probably doesn't help that everyone's covered in a minimum of three layers of all clothes at all times, owing to their presence in a subarctic hellscape.

It's an unfair criticism, but Minna Sundberg's dialogue reads exactly like every long-form webcomic. Like it's what I imagine when I think "webcomics that are not gag-a-day".

it's very, uh, understated, in a way that reminds me of how people were suddenly freaking out at the very end of A Redtail's Dream realizing after the story was nearly over that the protagonist was kinda a psychopath

when it works, it really works, but it's not exactly her strong point and doesn't make for riveting reading from page to page. when combined with the rest of the art and pacing in SSSS it's basically the most relaxing comic strip about the zombie apocalypse imaginable

The Taurus didn't offer much for drivers craving the sport sedan experience. That changed with the 1989 debut of the Ford Taurus SHO (for Super High Output), a Q-ship of the finest order that offered up a high-revving Yamaha-designed V-6 engine and a tight sport suspension.

Something about those screenshots makes me think the author reads a lot of One Piece.

p sure it's supposed to be prague as in the city. the 'progress' thing is the closest thing I've ever seen to a real explanation why, even though it doesn't really sound like that and wouldn't be a pun that actually made sense in context if it did. guess you gotta call your comic something

Maybe they just have a group of people infected with ebola to the point that they're thoroughly debilitated by it but aren't going to die quite yet. They're strapped to the front of non-demon SWAT team members as shields against possession.

There's some line of mystical jewelry called the Prague Race collection; I believe that's as much as we know so far.

Don't worry about it.
Looks like Anath Hirsh, Tessa Stone, and Sarah Stone are collaborating on a new webcomic.



The first chapter will be up on the Johnny Wander website before it moves to its own domain. I wonder how that will effect the regular Johnny Wander update schedule, plus Tessa's current webcomic?

You're thinking about Hanna is Not a Boy's Name, yes (and Sarah Stone is her sister). For what it's worth Not Drunk Enough has been updating regularly even though it's not very popular in this thread.

Every time I think about HINABN I feel old. It predates Homestuck becoming something super huge so it almost feels like it comes from a different era.

Tessa Stone also did Under Lock and Key before Hanna is Not a Boy's Name. I feel like there was at least one other, but I can't remember what it was called.

It's been years since I've read Skin Deep but I remember a lot of the supernatural creatures had pretty awful drawbacks like not being able to "turn back" or losing sapience over time. Anyway I don't remember it being fetishistic at all, but like I said I was a lot more naive back then so I might be missing something. When I think Obvious Fetish Webcomic I think of something like Spinerette or that comic about a woman with no arms.

vvv Hey, nobody says Cyclops not being able to turn off his eye beams is uncomfortable, is what I'm saying. Believe me in a sexualized thing the drawbacks would be something a lot less straightforward.

I wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't part of the appeal to that audience.

Anyway, SSSS continues to have great art, ghostbusting owls.

More seriously: there are people transforming, but not in the slow agonizing way that transformation fetishists like. If you are opposed to transformations or "furries" on principle than I am afraid it is not for you.

Most of the characters are actually very much middle class and have very "low fantasy" sort of problems; the only exception being the so called main character, who gets one of those "last of the legendary race" sort of deals, which is probably a weak point in the whole comic IMHO.
