Hey in one of these threads I think, someone was posting a Zelda fan comic where Zelda and Ganondorf were married and he didnt know Zelda's kid was Link. Can I get a link to that? e: found it by bravely googling that exact phrasing aegof has a new favorite as of 16:54 on May 12, 2023 |

Chako   Insert any of the various memes about how the highest praise you can give a dessert in many Asian countries is “not too sweet”. Note also the similarity to the quest for the jewels that ChaCha refused! Chako, at least, plays along.

The Saddest Rhino posted:THE CARPET MERCHANT OF KONSTANTINIYYA See, I had been thinking roughly similar thoughts but the word I had settled on was 'squishy'. Or maybe it's just that I was expecting a bloodier kind of tragedy which didn't turn out to be the kind of story the author wanted to tell. F'rinstance, the story beat I was dreading in volume 1 was that Zeynel would bite Ayse and she would either die or turn into a nastier sort of vampire. To be clear, I didn't want that to happen, but that's where I was expecting the boot to be put in. KennyMan666 posted:Previously on Tales of the Beanworld, der Kveen consumed all the Chow that was piled up, and prepared to do... something? Bit of an anti-climax there, huh.

Tree Bucket posted:The last of the Friday night ksbd fanart That's the good stuff The Saddest Rhino posted:THE CARPET MERCHANT OF KONSTANTINIYYA Thanks for posting it! It was definitely one of the best in the thread. I feel like the art itself (for the characters at least) was not especially outstanding, but it worked well enough and was elevated by the writing and the overall page designs and backgrounds which were stellar. It's interesting to me that in another work having a character like Zeynel spending as much time pining for Ayse as he does might feel repetitive and one-note, but here it seems to just compound and create this incredible emotional depth. There's a real genuine love depicted on these pages and it's deeply touching. And I do agree that the ending felt a bit anticlimactic but the rest of the comic more than makes up for it. Top shelf stuff

Not in response to anything in-particular I just wanted to shout out some general appreciation for everyone who posts anything from anywhere in this thread. It makes for a lot of good content to read first thing in the morning and it has introduced me to some cool stuff I would not have seen otherwise. Thanks everyone, for all that you do.

So the Carpet author did God of Arepo, too? I guess they both share that vibe of... is it a Tolkien line?... being sad but not unhappy. Also, crucial question, what do you call a person who makes comics? Cos "author" and "artist" both only cover half of what's going on. I guess we could combine them into a new word, like arthor. Or autist. Uhhhh

I usually go with "author", it's got a bit more gravitas and in cases where the words and the pictures are different people you call them artist and writer.

Hogback Saga       End of chapter 1. How are people enjoying Hogback Saga? I've got two more full chapters, chapter 4 is still ongoing. Something I find interesting about this comic is that the characters all feel located in their time but the author hasn't resorted to pompous faux-Shakespearian dialogue to do that. I think the casualness of their speech (although you'll notice that Gunnar adopts a more diplomatic tone with the king in this parley) really makes the characters more relatable to the modern audience in spite of the difference of historical perspective. Also I thought this line was hilarious.  Gunnar was making reference to Emperor Constantine, the first Roman emperor to convert to Christianity, by the way. Shinozaki's Daily Maintenance      I thought these panels were cute.

Shinozaki's Daily Maintenance has really grown on me, although it has just a smidge too many over-the-top manga reaction jokes. Thanks fot posting it! Fingerpori  The general joke comes across, I think, but these speech bubbles had a surprising amount of small hard-to-translate nuances.

I'd default to "artist," because creative writing is absolutely an art form even if we tend to associate the term with the visual arts. Or "creator," which leaves no room for doubt and also alliterates nicely with "comics."

I tend to say writer when I'm talking about the narrative and artist when I'm talking about the art. Some people use 'creator', I guess.

DEMON EATER        The artist got enough comments that they later went back and removed the "Ta da" from the splash page. This is an example of why you should never listen to your fans.

Enjoying Hogback a lot, thanks for posting it! Same for DEMON EATER, it's kind of like 'So I'm a Spider, So What' except without all the videogame stats stuff. And same again for Prince Valiant, feeling kind of melancholy about it tho b/c I remember my stepdad back in the 80s/90s saying how good it was and I scoffed because all I knew was the contemporary stuff. ETA: actually wait, hold on, there's an awful lot of good comics in the thread right now and if I were to call them all out this post'd be a lot longer.

World Famous W posted:Demon I'm still totally on board with Demon on the whole, but one thing I keep thinking about - we're like 200 years in the future at this point, right? It's weird that pretty much everything feels almost completely contemporary, I think airships occasionally appearing and some jokes about inflated prices are the most that it feels like it's leaned into not being the present day. Jimmy's even been to the moon and it just looked like the same lander and buggy technology from decades ago. Maybe I'm just missing something, but there's been a few times where I've run across fiction set in the future but the creator keeps the representation weirdly close to the current day, and it always feels like a confusing creative choice.

I think it's pretty sensible, the material lives of humans, under the admittedly silly presumption that liberal capitalism somehow managed to remain stable for that long, probably wouldn't be that different from today. Flying cars are stupid and dangerous, space travel is boring because FTL travel is impossible so there's probably just a bunch of miners up there getting iron and precious metals out of asteroids and sending it to earth. Maybe they have laser guns and faster smart phones now but the story hasn't had much reason to focus on that kind of stuff. It fits with the point of this part of the comic seeming to be how utterly boring it's getting for Jimmy to live forever. Miles Blundell has a new favorite as of 04:07 on May 13, 2023 |

Benagain posted:The line "the moon shines down on an old old story that a boy and girl think is new" just *mwah* It's running all the classics with the deepest of care. Actually this is probably one of those Sunday comics that gets the pacing right- each strip is detailed and evocative enough to move the story forward and not require too much redundant exposition partly because they're working off pretty classic cliches. Which is really the way you gotta do King Arthur stuff- even if you're playing with it, it just doesn't work without the magic and melodrama. Hempuli posted:I like how this builds directly on the thesis that cultures are by definition inconvenient and/or dangerous I mean, *gestures broadly*
