Exploration is ill-advised.
MM&O's whole thing used to be explained by 'It's set in Tasmania'.

But the current arc transposes the characters and setting to the modern day USA, in spectacular fashion

Oh Joy Sex Toy taught me a valuable lesson: Sex positivity must have its limits.

Main issue is that these comics are by, for and featuring the terminally twee above all else

No way not to sound obnoxious with this but I feel it's more set in a kind of universal experience you get from being on anglophone internet but transposed to the real world.

in a liminal space between the two you could say :smug:

It's probably the ridiculous, insane lusciously detailed artwork.

It updates twice a week, and every couple of months there's a delay for a big page or Abbadon is on vacation. Either way the delays are always announced on the front page.

About half the Oglaf comics are funny but they're not uniformly distributed in time.

It's kinda funny how Oglaf is the example, since someone mentions that the work-safe ones are generally funnier almost every time the comic comes up. (which I agree with, not that all the NWS ones are bad or anything)

I assume that's because the worksafe ones are kind of "off-topic" so the bar is higher for the quality of the joke

I really like false knees. The drawings of birds are quite good and occasionally the jokes are on point as well. The main point is the artist really just likes to draw birds. :allears:

OK, this is obscure and I might have the wrong comic series entirely, but hopefully someone remembers having read it. It would be from when I still read newspaper comics so at least a decade+ ago.

I think it's a Doonesbury strip, probably the daughter character, sitting in front of a TV. The TV says something along the lines of "Stop watching. Get up. Turn this off. Go outside. Get some exercise." She starts getting up and leaving, for a panel or two. Then it says "Just kidding!" and she says something like "I kinda figured."

Anyone know the date, or at least exact quotes from it so I can search for it properly?

Sounds familiar. Probably had the penguin "Opus" for that one.

You could try the Comic Strips thread in BSS. You would 100% get an answer there.

Ahhh I loved The Creeps, is there a full archive somewhere to download? I miss it. I remember the arc of head bump cutting his fingers off and how the bump is actually his misshapen skull.

Is the guy that does these still doing them?
Is he still alive?

Also, whilst I know these stupid computer comics never get political, the bloke who does them is in all the right demographisc, (old, out of touch, confused, angry at young people things), to be a Trump supporter. I really hope he isn't. Coz despite, or perhaps because of how stupid they are, I think they are sweet and endearing.

Charles Boyce is black so while it's not impossible, it is statistically speaking unlikely.

Wikipedia posted:

In February 2008, Boyce was involved in a protest which called for a greater representation of black cartoon artists in newspaper comics. The protest sought to bring attention to the problem of “tokenism” in newspapers, and brings to light the issues that many black comic artists face when trying to publish their works. In addition to Boyce, the artists that participated in the protest were Jerry Craft, Charlos Gary, Steve Watkins, Keith Knight, Bill Murray, and Tim Jackson. For one day, these cartoonists all drew a very similar comic strip, which showed a scene with a white reader looking at a minority-drawn strip and complaining that it is a rip-off of the Boondocks.

This one actually makes sense, a GPS's purpose is to prevent you from getting lost but instead this guy got lost on how to use it, so it's ironic. A rare coherent Boyce. Still not funny tho

I feel like the perfect example of gay rats is Raine Dog. The perfect example of "Whatever the gently caress this is" is Kevin and Kell because whenever someone shows me that comic I go, "What the gently caress is this?" The weird libertarian comic fits in here too.
