If it's supposed to be the skull and bones society, you gotta insert a cameo from George Bush, John Kerry, or Taft

The latest strip had a payoff that I still don’t quite understand its significance because it was set up like five years ago, halfway through the current chapter

How does a single chapter somehow go on for four and a half years and still not be anywhere near close to wrapping up? There's been enough material and shifts in objectives that this last chapter could reasonably be split into three chapters by now, and yet it continues on. Honestly, I'm expecting the next chapter break to just lead into chapter 5.5. We've joked about Ava's Demon's timeline, but Paranatural long ago beat it on the amount of time (in irl years) spent on three days of story since the start of the comic.

I was going to complain I had vowed to never read a story webcomic that wasn't finished until someone linked Check, Please! here and I got bamboozled again when it went into hiatus but I just checked and it seems it'll be getting regular weekly updates for a while so I guess sometimes things turn out okay.

i'd like to see some older characters in webcomics too. webcomics have the same issue as any other form of media, where everyone's under 25 with the occasional wise octogenarian but there's a whole forty-odd years of life that is just never represented. i don't think it's due to creator demographics; webcomic writers skew young because it's online media but most of the ones i've spoken to are in their 30s rather than fresh-faced teenagers, and i know there are plenty who are older than that (they just generally don't talk about their age). it could be because people get harder to draw as they get older, but i'm not sure about that either. nor do i think it's because older people aren't marketable, because from what i've seen the online market is kind of clamouring for hot sad dads. most webcomic makers are aspiring to break into a traditional market eventually and that's still definitely prejudiced toward the young and nubile for obvious reasons, but i really don't think the traditional market is where it's at anymore. i guess i'd just like to see some slices of life / fantasy that focus on something other than young love and rebellion and the bildungsroman. those stories are good but they're not the only stories. i'd like more struggling single parents, long-term married couples having difficulties, middle-aged masters of their craft whose personal lives are a mess, directionless 40-somethings desperately in need of a mission, or the point of view of the merciless unseen powers persecuting the sassy teen mages for the common good, rather than the teen mages themselves (although they can still have a voice). there is definitely a "webcomic generation", but we're not actually kids anymore and some amazing things could happen if people started writing what they knew instead of trying to tailor their work to a market that may or may not exist (or creating questionably legal jerk-off material about bright young things, which is its own problem)

Literally everyone should read Dr. McNinja. It takes a little bit to find its feet, but once it does, it avoids being monkeycheese because even though the setting's totally ridiculous, it never stops playing by the rules it establishes. Also, it ended and it ended well.

My ideal comic: - Has a planned end - Has interesting, relatable (if not necessarily likable) characters - Has good character interactions that further their relationships and the plot - The right amount of humor for the set tone - Good worldbuilding (which applies even in a contemporary/realistic setting) - Hits the right pace for the plot - Has art that neither makes me want to claw my eyeballs out, or make me wish the artist went back to school (though I'm fine if the art undergoes clear progression from alright to good) - Updates regularly and predictably - Doesn't have an archive too deep for me to be able to catch up easily Honestly though, "is interesting/funny to read" and "regular consistent schedule" are generally enough.

We'll definitely get more comics about adults living middle aged life/raising kids as more webcomic-makers move into those adult milestones. You see it slip into mainstream comics occasionally, when editors let Superman have a moment with his kid or whatever, since writers and artist there trend older. There a good family comics in syndication, but obviously that comes with it's own pacing and structure issues (Cul De Sac and its creator were too good for this world).
