Thorsby comic ratings:
The Accidental Space Spy - 6/10 a lot of very good jokes but it's pretty much Thorsby's world-building tendencies taken to the extreme and a lot of the planets overstay their welcome imo. Overall conceit is that the main characters are visiting various planets looking for someone who was researching alien cultures with weird courting rituals, so there's constant farcical misunderstandings as the main characters gently caress up aliens' marriages.
Lies, Sisters and Wives - 7/10 mercifully short for a Thorsby comic, it's just the Passion, Lies, and Fungus arc from Hitmen for Destiny again, but done in a non-fantasy setting.
Transdimensional Brain Chip - 9/10 Total loving moron gets the ability to talk to alternate universe versions of himself, extremely funny, goes off the loving rails. Doesn't get a 10/10 only because the climax is like 1/5th of the story's length and is mostly like... speculative sci-fi instead of comedy.
Trixie Slaughteraxe For President - 10/10 Another fantasy adventure like Hitmen for Destiny albeit in a more traditional fantasy world. Great balance of comedy, plot that moves at a decent clip, and weird world-building,

A good ranking, TSFP is one of the best narrative webcomics ever, maybe one of the best bits of narrative art ever put on the internet. I would put Lies, Sisters and Wives higher, like an 8/10 because it's just Thorsby doing what he does best, and I would add Hitmen as a 9/10 because I think story-wise it's as good as Trixie and the shipboard farce is Thorsby's greatest accomplishment, but the art is way, way worse.

The short story is that Thorsby is great and all his comics are worth reading. It's too bad he hasn't done anything new since Trixie ended!

I read this with concern, because I love thorsby and it sounds like a not great title.

I am both gay and a geneticist and I was pleasantly surprised. It's surprisingly genetics-literate. It's wrong, but not because of any particular misunderstanding on thorsbys part, in fact he's got a better grasp on basic population genetics than some of my first year students. It's only wrong because genetics of behavior is a lot more complicated than the punnet-square level logic he's using.

It -feels- offensive, but only because it's got that weirdly frank and forthright autist-logic style he has.

Overall, this could have been a lot worse. I would not have wanted to have learned that thorsby was a nazi today.

I've said before that a lot of Thorsby's most ingeniously hilarious stuff is when he says something that's obviously wrong, but it's not entirely trivial to explain exactly how.

ill have to take your word for it but it seems really gross to make that comic. esp when suicide genetic or not more often effects gay people . he also completly discounts lesbians except for the page being like hey why are all gay men femme? completly ignoring butch gay men. he also makes an insane assumption that asexual people would be more likely to be killed then gay people in prehistoric man societies. we cant say for certain he is wrong but all of the modern era that is 100% wrong.

I binged the first ~200 Hitmen For Destiny after ignoring it for years, and it's surprisingly engaging.

Is there some relation between Bobby Crosby (Pupkin) and Chris Crosby (Superosity)? The art is really similar.

Scaramouche posted:

Pupkin's author was Chris Crosby's younger brother Bobby I think (the former being founder of Keenspot comic host) and they all were kind of strange? The latter was a poster here after some people were joke posting the comic and they'd always end their posts with "thank you for reading pupkin" and got banned a couple times I think. I seem to remember them talking up how successful their comics were and that they were being optioned for a movie deal but have no recollection about how that ended up.

Almost the opposite here. I've had Thorsby on my to read list for years after much acclaim from goons and the first few dozen steps of Hitmen have put me right off. Does it develop into something? How long do you have to persist?

If you've made it through the resolution of the portal monsters you've seen everything it has to offer. Take a plot about destiny and killing monsters, make every story arc an incredibly convoluted sitcom/cartoon gag ramped up to 11, and put it in a bizarre world.

I'm not sure its good - but slicer raccoons, the Tolkien races, the invisible castle, etc. are uniquely strange enough to keep me reading.

I've started in on Trixie Slaughteraxe and I get it. The zaniness starts immediately, the art is less repulsive and it might not be good like say but it's unique. That initial section on Hitmen was indistinguishable from a bad wish fulfilment comic.
