The thread had to be locked down for a while because people got really mad at Zaid and also Clevin. Most of the time it's just a duller version of the comments section of the webcomic itself. (duller because the regular commenters on the webcomic's site at least have the gall to post in-character as their own K6BD ocs, which is entertainingly weird)

Personally I am more entertained by People Complaining About Desmond Fishman than I am upset about the Fishman himself, so bring on as much Des as you want, Mr Allison.

Yeah, it's in the chat threads subforum in BYOB. I honestly can't tell you if it's good or not because the regulars like putting 10 pages of whatever they're reading in a single post and it makes reading the thread on mobile an incredible pain in the rear end. I'm sure it's cool and chill and stuff but the sheer amount of images means you have to scroll waaaaay more than I'm willing to put up with since each non-timg gets put on a new line.

Questionable Content has a pretty low bar set in terms of being disappointing, but even by that standard... ...this storyline is kind of annoying. The idea of Faye and her Robot Girlfriend trying to open up a business together seemed like a pretty great avenue for telling stories of them trying and struggling to make do. Instead, though, they basically get gifted a business by Dora, basically allowing them to attain their goal with no real work involved. I guess maybe it's because Jeph is all woke on twitter and loves to talk about political poo poo that this annoys me the most, but I feel like anyone who has tried to start a business would likely start their story of that business with their struggle to even get it going. Not everybody has a "rich coffee shop owner" with the right friends to call up and get you a loving storefront, especially in a town with property values as high as loving Northampton, MA. It feels lazy, it feels unrealistic, and above all it smacks of a sense that he doesn't actually care about that part, which seems like a massive indication of how out-of-touch he is with anyone who isn't a "self-made" (read: started a webcomic in the late 90's and early 2000's and managed regular updates for it) cartoonist. It sets my teeth on edge. It wouldn't be bad if this wasn't like the second or third consistent time this has been done. They had another story arc end with a "mysterious" character basically solving everybody's problems for them, easily, and for no cost. I don't...it's like...it's really really bad.

Does anyone else read Back? It's a collaborative effort between KC Green and Anthony Clark and it's consistently been pretty good in terms of both art and storytelling. I don't think I've ever seen anyone here post about it though, so I was wondering if it's on anyone else's radar.

Cowcaster posted:questionable content is basically dominic deegan with a much larger fanbase Questionable Content is boring, bland and inoffensive at worst, whose greatest sin is frequently hitting the well of "by complete coincidence, *person close by* solves the problem" because it's deathly afraid of commitment to arcs that last more than a few months. Dominic Deegan was a comic about a Mary Sue that fought a giant spaghetti monster, took itself insanely seriously at all times, and featured a character whose backstory had him "forced" to rape a girl that'd just had her family murdered so she wouldn't get killed herself, who in the future goes on to fall in love with her rapist, so what he did was actually cool and good. I would take a thousand Questionable Contents if it meant no one ever made a webcomic with a heroic rapist again.

And even ignoring the rape(how's that for a sentence?), I have one word for everyone who doesn't remember DD as well as they think they do. SuperGreg.

Also the gay man with a death fetish nursed a massive crush on Dominic and fantasized about graphically murdering Luna so they could be together. But he was the good guy and his ex-wife was the bad guy, so she was the one that got strangled to death and everyone laughed at her corpse-butt sticking up in the air.

The most amazing thing about Dominic Deegan is that the author knows perfectly well how to write a good comic. I attended a panel he did at a convention once back when the comic/mock thread was still going strong and I was all ready to hear about his lovely opinions but the worst thing I can say about it was that it seemed like he rehearsed so much he couldn't stop to take a question partway through because he was afraid of getting lost. It was perfectly good advice, insightful and helpful even. I think Dominic Deegan was his way of experimenting with all the off color concepts and ideas he'd ever thought of or maybe he just wanted to try things no one had ever done, except he never stopped to think about why no one had done those things or if he was a good enough author to pull it off in the first place.

Being entirely honest, you hit the nail on the head. He's said as much about Sexy Heroic Rapist- that was why he did it. Why NOT contrive a reason for a rapist to be a hero? Never mind the reasons you don't do that, especially in light weight bullshit like DD. Another edge to the epic legacy of DD is the fact that it is bound in Mookie's personal interests and fetishes. It's some lovely online comic he did so why not indulge himself? Cue the sexy posed corpses and loads of other weird fetishy poo poo that kept popping up. I don't think anyone could ever make a comic quite like Dominic Deegan again. It might be beyond mortal ken to accomplish

I particularly remember that he got married in real life and in the comic his new in-laws constantly disapproved of him so he had to show them how wrong they were at every turn. That was pretty amazing.

That's the weird thing about him. He made so many questionable decisions in his comic but he seems like a decent person who could do a good job at comic making. Like he's kinda a textbook definition of good intentions without ever thinking things through leading up to a complete disaster. I think part of it was wanting a comic that was "light hearted" and golden age super hero-y but also wanting to tackle serious topics that he is no way equipped to handle. So his tone was always all over the place. Also he has this weird thing about having to make sure that his main characters get constant praise and acknowledgment from side characters which is just weird. If a character is critical, it's either they are secretly trying to encourage the hero or they are some evil wrong-headed person. The dude can't just let stuff happen on a page and have people draw their own conclusions. Instead he has to self insert his own judgments explicitly through the mouths of 3rd party characters and draw maximum attention to every single thing his main characters do. It doesn't work so great when he gives his protagonists flaws that aren't really flaws as well. Or if it is a real flaw, he'll find a way to erase it or make it irrelevant soon enough. Maybe he's just the sentimental type and he gets so close to his characters that he can't bare for them not to be constantly reassured or for truly bad things to stick to them. But if he actually let his characters breathe and deal with the ramifications of their own decisions then he could probably make a good story provided he never talked about sensitive subjects that he knew nothing about.

Every now and again I check on his new comic- not to read it just to see if it's still going. I'm always kind of pleasantly surprised to see it is. Star Power is just kind of boringly competent from what very little I've looked at it. I'm not sure how good or bad it is, but I remember the thread lost all steam with it because it was Mookie being very professional, possibly due to having a filter of another artist directing his efforts.

What I always figured happened was he stopped doing any kind of plotting years ago; beyond a start and end point at least. No scripting or thumbnailing or any kind of thought put into the in-between points. Just all off the cuff, and obviously that led to a lot of stuff that came of poorly if you stopped to think about it at all. And like, clearly that worked for him in its own way, but god what a mess.

Dominic was his D&D character, and a few of the other characters were other PCs in the D&D game, or other rpg characters he played. So yeah, he was way too close to a lot of the DD cast.
