Just kidding, Beartato. I love to brag.

Please wear proper safety attire when skateboarding. Beartato and Reginald are not shown wearing it because this is for illustrative purposes only, and also they used a genie's power to wish to be invincible while skateboarding.

Sometimes I wake up at night and I can just FEEL myself getting diseases

Now YOU should get a phone, Beartato

How did I only realize Powerup Comics existed in the last year. I spent like a decade reading Sluggy Freelance and Questionable Content, and this poo poo existed the entire time

Edit: this was the current Questionable Content strip when I looked it up to make sure I had the name right.

There was something along the lines of 20 comics and then a 9 year hiatus or something, though it gets a little confusing because the author likes to back-date comics to make jokes about things that happened like 5 years ago.

I don't get it. How could art in QC become so much worse in the last 2 years? It wasn't great to begin with, but everything is super wonky now.

JJ has to pump out a comic a day, every weekday, in color. He's gonna take shortcuts when he can.

I think it's because the guy has/had depression not sure if that's what set him off in particular though.

Also hate on QC, but gently caress off attacking the dude behind it. He's making a living and producing something decent.

I legitimately don't have an opinion about the fellow that makes that comic, but I certainly do about the sort of frothing social media dumdum that gets outraged at the creator of a webcomic they can't seem to emotionally disengage from for not making it precisely to their precious little liking.

Second paragraph was more in general, but I understand.

You'd hope that people would just accept the difficulty inherent in creating something and say "hey I'm sad about this", but I think we don't see that too often unfortunately.

Oh boy, this looks like an excuse to post the recent mommy milkers comic! Though I'm not sure whether it counts as NWS or just plain cringe.

the titular milkers were not as visible as I expected when I saw a censored version, I think the latter but barely

QC, there's a comic I haven't thought about in a while. I don't think I ever read more than 50 strips. It's an interesting case study in how drawing for a living doesn't actually lead to better art if one never moves beyond their comfort zone (see also Megatokyo.) That said, it's fine for what it needs to be.

Speaking of megatokyo, it's insane to me that the comic is still drawn in pencil, it's so hard to parse. Back in the early days of the internet when webcomics were rare, it's understandable that a pencil-drawn comic could catch on if it had competent draftsmanship. But now it's like trying to read a ghost. Yet it's still going, seems like the latest strip was posted in March. That was the earliest forum I was ever a part of.

Every now and then, JJ reveals he is a deeply weird dude that makes a webcomic for a living to support what he actually wants to do: shitpost and make music.

There was art progress for like 5 years (mostly during the first two or so), but after that it stagnated.

e. comic #1000 from year 2007 is about the same quality as the new ones.

You know there is a place to complain about this elsewhere right? You don't have to automatically go "Urgh, URGH URGH" every time it comes up like a 5 year old who hears someone say broccoli. You can just dislike something. I'm not saying "let people enjoy things" or whatever the gently caress, it just gets tedious to have to listen to people going on and on about how much they really hate something that is essentially harmless.
