It's kind of funny he killed off the main char's (i.e. him) mom and gave his dad alzheimer's, but both are alive and well in real life and are all "why did you do that to us in your comic?"

Didn't chip zdarsky (nee Moore) start in webcomics or am I conflating him with Ryan North?

Chip was an humor illustrator for a few different magazines before he jumped into comics, as far as I know.

He does have a very strong twitter game, however.

So, Ian Jones-Quartey infamously dropped his webcomic RPG World over a decade ago, but came back in a big way as an animator and now heads the show O.K. K.O. Anyone know any other success stories for early webcomic creators? Let's say creators that managed to support themselves through merch don't count. I'm talking about people that came back in a big way.
Christopher Hastings (Dr. McNinja) writes for Marvel (all of Gwenpool was his, IIRC), and Brian Clevinger (8 Bit Theater) started Atomic Robo over a decade ago and that's still going.

In Rigsby, WI, something pretty bad is bound to happen now thanks to Beth's lovely mom, so my question is: exactly how catastrophic will a double dose of Adderall and Zoloft be?

Ashcans

Let's do the space-time warp again!

I feel really bad for Beth, because her options were basically 1/ Not take the medication and have her mom freak out that she's disobedient/not listening/etc. or 2/ take the medication - and now her mom will insist that's vindication and evidence that she hadn't take it before.... unless of course the dosing causes problems, but I have faith her mom will still find a way to blame that on other people.

It looks like dosage and overdosage for SSRIs and Adderall are all over the place, it is possible nothing would happen but it could also be sickness, blackouts, and heart problems depending on her dose and her personal reaction to it. :ohdear:

Thankfully double dosing for a single day usually isn't very risky, so unless the author has something in mind, she'll probably be fine and this is just a humiliating moment more than anything.

It started out with Red 5 Comics, which I don't think is a very big publisher. It also hopped back into the webcomic zone, so there's not much you can say about one being more legitimate than the other.

There was a thing where they had to cut ties with somebody on the business side because he made a snide tweet in support of the shooting of a congresswoman, but I guess that was a retailer?

Speaking of webcomics that started out as print, Girl Genius may be about to take care of one out of 3 Lucrezias, although probably something's going to go horribly wrong. Wonder if they'll try to get rid of the Baron while they're at it.

They are! But it's unclear if they ever got the chance to get that spinal fluid sample they needed.

As for what's going to go wrong, Lucrezia was already fighting Agatha for control and getting dangerously close to winning a few strips ago before "going quiet", so my guess is that Lucrezia took advantage of the distraction to take control as soon as Agatha left the room. EDIT: She's missing now, of course.


EDIT: Wow, Tarvek really meant it when he said "no more delays". That's one long-running issue resolved, at least.

:shrug:
According to IMDB she is a prop designer, so it's not like she's in control of an entire show's production or anything. She works on Star vs. the Forces of Evil, and a quick look shows it has a pretty light, Dexter's Lab style (there is probably a real name for this I don't know) so her work is not out of whack for it. My kids liked her Witch Boy books, which ultimately is what I guess matters.

...Also, like, everyone's called the plot twist that Snout is Dominic's descendant the second they saw him, right?
