Wait what? Does anyone have a link to either of those? I do remember something about him trying to pay a dude doing art assets for him in restaurant gift cards or something though. He also kept talking about how he was advertising on sites where people drew porn of his characters, tacitly endorsing it by not condemning it, which is a perfect plan with no downsides because there's no such thing as bad publicity guys. I think it was around then that the railroading complaints started too, but I'm sure that that had no connection to the sudden influx of users trying to get her into bed with anything that moved and getting annoyed when that didn't happen.

Dunno why he did it. I guess to be weird?

She really is The Worst. Speaking of good comics containing people who may or may not be The Worst, is House of Orr still dead?

Nuns with Guns posted:Yeah the deviantart one is easy to find because he got probated for playing internet detective Oh god, I had completely forgotten about that. Or maybe it was from before I discovered prequel? I found his explanation a page or two later: Kazerad posted:Creepiness was unintentional; sorry for any discomfort there! So yes, depending on his mood if you say anything negative about him or his comic he will start googling your poo poo to make sure you're worth his precious time to respond to. It's Kaz.txt. He takes a point that has some truth to it (criticism from a professional is more valid than from someone with no experience besides consummation) and decides it makes sense before running with it far past the point of being reasonable. E: I had forgotten how much Kiwi Blitz owned. I think it went on indefinite hiatus at one point and I gave up on it, I really need to catch up Wrist Watch fucked around with this message at 18:08 on Nov 28, 2016 |

Man, Derelict doesn't update often, but it's a good webcomic. Never really know what to expect from it though, it went from Dang Thu Mai as a robust survivalist out in the wild to an awkward misfit in a bustling society, and now it's a horrible monster woman trying to live a relatively normal life.

I think at one point in a previous thread I talked poo poo about Bittersweet Candy Bowl. I kept up with it for whatever reason and at this point it's become one of the few webcomics I check religiously now. I thought all the drama being swept under the carpet was bad writing, but it's become clear that it was pretty intentional and the last few storylines have basically been watching the group get more and more fractured and strained. It's pure high school drama, but it's actually done pretty well and absolutely doesn't seem to pull punches when poo poo starts going down.

I love Zebragirl and the current plot is pretty good and I am glad it is updating on a regular schedule again, but man these week long waits for a couple seconds of progress are killing me. I really should put it my the list of comics to forget about until next year and then binge on. Anyway, I dont suppose anyone else reads this and can remind me why Sam's gloves would harm vampires?

Renaissance Robot posted:She really is The Worst. No updates on their Twitter or Facebook since August 2015, no updates on Tumblr for a year, website still just shows covers for Colonial Souls, which concluded in January 2015. The artist still works on Balderdash! and is active on Twitter. The writer is still active on twitter, and is the creator of the Roll20 app (which still seems to be in active use/development), but posted this to his tumblr back in May 2016 about Orr: quote:So I guess House of Orr is canceled forever? Considering how much attention it's gotten, I'd bet we never see it come back and it's yet another 'indefinite hiatus' comic that is actually 'infinite hiatus'.

My mom basically did the same thing when I got suspended for the first and only time back in like grade six. She told me I shouldn't start fights and poo poo but she was proud of me for finally standing up for myself, considering the year before the kid I hit slammed my face into a metal post. So I didn't get in trouble. Anyway, I burned through O Human Star pretty quick and oh man now it can't update fast enough. Why is december still so far away?

This guy raises a lot of questions just by existing. He seems to be a long tailed opossum, not a short tailed. I would have expected there to be a few short tail families of wealth and prestige, given Our Boy Freddy, but a long tail comes as a surprise. I'm curious how his family overcame both institutional disadvantage and sheer lifespan disadvantage to hack it in upper crust society. Not to say it's implausible, I just think it's ~interesting worldbuilding~

Straight White Shark posted:gosh you'd almost think he was propped up by the mafia or something He is now, obviously, but was his family always? That's what I'm talking about when I say he raises interesting questions. The framing ("he grew up in wealth and luxury") tells us he was born into wealth and luxury, not that he suddenly came into it himself after all. He's at least second generation money, so it seems unlikely Chicadino is responsible for the original fortune. Possibly maintaining it though, yes.

Chicadino may not be responsible personally but a highly placed possum could very well be valuable enough as a magic-proof pawn that it would be worthwhile to spend 30 years grooming one, if you were a nefarious organization with a sufficiently long term view.

Which is plausible! But we don't know, thus it's interesting. Did they rise to wealth on their own (and if so, how) and latch onto Chicadino's patronage in hard times? Did Chicadino astroturf them from the start? Both of these seem believable to me. ~Worldbuilding~

Generally a bit of a story behind rich minorities of a caste that's normally legally considered property, though.

Real world minorities also don't have a (non environmentally caused) life span that is literally a half to a third of what the rest of society can expect. Remember that Lily can't realistically aspire to be a doctor because she'd be dead by time she's qualified. Also I don't think opossums are normally legally considered property. Just non persons. Which is worse because property at least has value!
