I think the thread is more interesting with ongoing comics series being posted, I like having longer running things to look forward to and have a feeling of continuity with, even if I don't follow all of them. But I do like having more individual/gag comics sprinkled in too, even if I'm part of the problem by posting less of them myself - twitter was my main source for finding comics, and I don't really go on there any more in its current state :/

I started reading this thread like... Two years ago because I caught the tail end of newspaper Spiderman and loved it. I hung around after hoping it would start up again from the beginning and while waiting I caught all of Thorsby et al. I ignored beanworld for most it's run until I gave it a chance, then went back to read it al because of how much I liked it. I still read the thread every day even if I don't post, I love having a wide range of comics I can just read on my phone whenever I need five minutes to myself or need to commute. Same reason I check in with the Daily Life of a Certain NEET everyday. Is the thread slower/less populated than before? Not to any extent I've noticed, to me this thread is the best place to find something new to read. I guess what I'm trying to say is I'll have a double baconator and a small frosty.

I'd also been missing Newspaper Spidey, but I saw a link to that a few months back and have been enjoying it ever since.

You know what, time for some cute Metroid comics, published in Shounen Oh Game Comics in August 1994. There's not a lot of it, so I'll just post one page a day. First up is Round and Round. Read right to left.

So this was posted in a Discord and I feel like this thread can figure out examples for each point. While I never read it myself, I just have this hunch that Dresden Codak fits the third one.

Kit Walker posted:Yeah sometimes I feel a bit bad about being part of the manga takeover, but all the good western stuff I know has either already been posted or is currently being posted, so either I have to dig down and post some objectively really mediocre stuff or post nothing at all. I’d rather just post some weird stuff I like and trust that people who don’t enjoy it will just scroll past it and instead check out the stuff they do like KennyMan666 posted:I think one of the things is also that with manga, there's a lot of good stuff that's not been officially translated and released, but has a dedicated fan translation scene. There's a lot of good western comics! But if they're not webcomics, if they're already in English they're most likely commercially available comics which is a bit of a no go to post, and if they've not been released in English, well... at least the impression I have gotten is that there's nowhere near as much fan translating going on for that. I'm in a similar situation: I've posted some English language comics, but I ran out of ones that were my favourite/hadn't already been posted. I read a whole lot of manga, but there is a whole lot of manga to access (cough, for free). I'd like to think I've selected more niche/interesting stuff to post, at least. I will say this, however: it is a crime that no one's licensed Hyouge Mono. I really do like reading narrative comics here serialised. It's fun to see the commentary on the big moments and the jokes in between. I could gorge myself on a finished webcomic - and I do - but it's nice to take it slow, savour it some with good company. Also Tree Bucket mashups, that's a big bonus. the holy poopacy posted:Lavender Jack Haha, he really is Tarzan, this is amazing! Alright, fess up - the first person who made that crack, had you read ahead at that point? I must know. cant cook creole bream posted:It's the off season in the nowhereplace he's at and he seems kind of depressed. So just ambient sounds of wind and desolation. Maybe some really soft strings as you hear a seagull slowly sucumbing to loneliness. I would say Disco Elysium is a good baseline for the melancolic mood. Longing for a thing which never existed and can't be described. Oh yeah, Red Rock Riviera and all that. Beginning chapters, though? The translation starts at chapter 11, no idea why. There was also a couple gaps in translation after that, but they've been filling rapidly in the last couple months, Maybe someone will eventually go back and do the first chapters? I suspect they won't reveal much though, this is a spinoff of Gambling Apocalypse Kaiji and I think that's where they set up the underground worksite, the blacksuits, Teia Finance and all that. Ootsuki and crew are minor antagonists in that storyline.

Personally I haven't posted much because I haven't been posting comics and been busy elsewhere; I still keep up-to-date with the thread and while there are comics I don't read or skim, there are also comics that I read actively here and I think the thread is going great with lots of great stuff. I hadn't really noticed a slowing of pace, either, tbh! I think the "post the entirety of a comic" is an excellent feature of the thread because a simple "here's a comic I like, go read it behind this link" would in most cases mean that a) I end up not reading it, and b) there'd be no follow-up discussion about it because, well, it was already posted to the extent allowed and anyone reading it will do so at their own pace, outside the thread. In summary, I'd say that thread good

KennyMan666 posted:So this was posted in a Discord and I feel like this thread can figure out examples for each point. Dresden Codak is the fourth one actually. Diaz updates extremely infrequently and every third update the entire tone and genre of the comic will change to match whatever piece of media she has hyperfixated on during the months-long process of making a single page.

Just to chime in, I super enjoy this thread for all the comics posted in their entirety at a constant pace. Some I find good and i read them, some I find poo poo and I skip them. Thanks to everyone, from both the good group and the poo poo group, for taking the time to post them! And also thank christ this thread doesn't go faster than it currently does, it's already quite a brisk pace to keep up.

Just adding that this thread is great and I appreciate all of y'all carrying on with the posting Jolyne Cujoh posted:Sweetness And Lightning Question that I may have missed the answer to: do they ever explain what weak flour is? I've only ever seen the term in this comic and I wonder if it's just a known thing or if it's a translation hiccup?
