I don't recall the drama with CRFH (was it Fuego Fish related?), but she's currently working on the intermittently-updating Power Nap. Nothing's updated there since February, though.

edit: For my own contribution, I think I was linked to Zebra Girl from Mac Hall or maybe Schlock Mercenary way back when and it's been going since 2000, with a bit of a gap in the middle. It's in its epilogue now, though I don't know how many more updates remain.

Patrick Spens posted:

I read this and thought of Real Life comics, which is only still happening in the sense that Greg Dean is updating his landing page description to say that the comic has been going for 18 years, though the last update was in 2015.

"Go on until you're stopped."
The thing about Sinfest wasn't that it got woke, it was that it went radical second-wave feminist and started leaning into that hard without really explaining that change to the audience. It kept trying to make Big Statements, but they fell flat because Ishida was taking statements like "porn kills your capacity for empathy" as given rather than something he'd have to prove.

Yeah, what did you expect? Reading early Sinfest already told you that guy is nuts, so there was no surprise. Well, except for the poor bastards who took him seriously. I'm pretty sure a lot of assholes were kind of miffed when Sinfest's author turned Mega-Feminist over night.

Basically, love isn't magic and in Ishida's case it just switched his lizard brain from evil to good, but it didn't make him smart and reasonable. :v:

Porn has always been a money maker, cartoon porn is no exception. And since regular art is constantly devalued in society and encourages people not to pay for it, one thing leads to another.

I always assumed that was drawn for exactly one person's klurf's benefit, and I'm going to assume the same thing about VGCats porn.

edit: Speaking of which, and of webcomics of our youths, Living in Greytown does not appear to be around anymore despite the site still existing. I admit I didn't look very hard but it seems like all the images were removed.

edit 2: The other old webcomic which I absolutely loved was called Isometric. All the characters were cubes and I remember it being really hilarious. The site moved around a lot into the early 2010s and I can't find it anymore :(
