I take the Ebert approach; I think it's incredibly good for what it's trying to do. Considering what I like to draw it would be pretty dumb for me to have any other opinion on that  .

lost in postation posted:The authors have obviously done some research on South Africa, but loving hell, that map: I had a look at Zana because of this panel! And already on the first page I am angered, because I have spent the last month detailing the date-of-entry of almost the entire South African Defence Force arsenal, and the Casspir only entered service in 1980 but the first panel is clearly set in 1965. This makes me unreasonably angry! And South African never got its freedom because Nelson Mandela was a singularly unique being, and the end of apartheid was not driven by a host of factors including international pressure, internal strife, war weariness after 23 years of endless war, and a growing consciousness among the white minority of just how unfair apartheid was. (It turns out that when you force white conscripts and black soldiers to spend two years patrolling the border together, they grow sympathetic to each other and have a lot of time to discuss politics!) Also, the setup is kinda weird; the ethnic cleansing the apartheid government engaged in against its non-white population was one of forced relocation so that white farmers could use previously non-white land. Yet in Zana the black population are portrayed as being a kind of serf class serving Afrikaner "houses"? Like, the apartheid was a real, horrible thing - and it was motivated by real, horrible impulses - but Zana doesn't seem to want to actually deal with the real-life issues of apartheid, it just wants to tell a story about black serfs serving a white upper class in a pretty offensively stereotypical way. So it picks South Africa for its background to tell a story about racism, yet chooses not to talk about South African racism! Then a father wants his boy to rape the protagonist to become a "real man" and she quips about real men asking for consent and kills the boy's father and the boy is fine with this because his father used to beat him. That's totally how people talk and act in real life!

Regy Rusty posted:Dragons, it would seem, are um... weird If you didn't catch on or notice by the by, it's mentioned at some point that dragons in this universe are cephalopods. Like an octopus or mollusc. This is in part why they can do weird horrifying bullshit with their bodies. Of course the whole body horror thing was exacerbated by the fact that that particular dragon was being possessed by the Specter of Fate or Poda, I forget which

By the hand thing which Poda then grabs and "eats"??? afterwards so I assumed it was involved with their organization. I also had a feeling I'd seen it before and went back and found this: http://www.poppy-opossum.com/comic/poppy-3-page-28-2/

If you want another mind gently caress, you know what happened in the recent Friedrich intermission with his memories getting locked and leaving a keyhole behind? There's actually a page earlier in the comic that very barely shows that Mary has a similar keyhole at the base of her skull

Lol I was calling webcomics in general bad. Hunger Games: Souf Efrika edition is an example of authors retreating into fantasy worlds instead of dealing with reality when telling stories about inequality.

Nedroid. I'd also have to say that The Young Pope really transcended the medium as a webcomic.

I don't care about Weapon Brown, largely because I don't care about US newspaper funnies. (Of which I'm only familiar with Calvin & Hobbs and Peanuts.) I'm sure it's more entertaining if you do get the references.
