I think QC is appropriate just for how long-running, reliable, and weirdly successful it is. Even if it's not actually good.

Just found this thread, and needed to post about Octopus Pie. I honestly hurt more about the end of OP than I did about Achewood. The characters were smart, funny, likable, and had a ridiculous amount of depth. The art was fantastic, and the switch to full color made it even more amazing: vivid sunsets, subway lights, storms, disco balls all helping to set the mood and tell a story. I just turned 30 this year, and Octopus Pie helped me through so much poo poo as a twenty-something. Now that I live in NYC, I find myself noticing lots of little local nods in my re-read. And there's so much that's just so sad about it, and hits in just the right way. When Marek is graduating, and Eve tells him she's starting to see the cracks in their social circle, and that she thought he and Hanna had the perfect relationship, and Marek pauses, and you can see his eyes for the first time. When Hannah is trying to outrun her own thoughts and the panels are disjointed and spread all across the page. Eve having the same dreams of the beach and the starfish for so long, and trying so desperately to figure it out. Aimee saying goodbye to Will, musing that for her, the relationship was a mistake of her youth, but Will was in his prime. It's just so funny and bittersweet and painful and beautiful, and I'm going to loving miss it like the dickens. I guess that's it bye

Hogge Wild posted:cad should be there I unironically agree. It's an example of the "two guys on a couch" model of early webcomics, it is (or was, for some reason) popular, and loving half the internet (including many other webcomic artists) have done some sort of reference or parody of loss.jpg. As far as webcomics go, it's a cultural icon. But mostly I just wanna see Loss and Strangle.jpg enshrined forever alongside great works of art.

Yeah, it's lacking at least a gamer comic and a sprite comic. And since they collect folklore, memes and poo poo, CAD with its loss.jpg should definitely be there. I didn't see any rpg-comics either. And now that I think of it, Sluggy Freelance should definitely be there too.

Bobulus posted:...Kid Radd? Yeah, Kid Radd is the only one to actually use the medium well. Come to think of it, animated panels playing through a console viewer should have been an obvious thing to do for a sprite comic. I'm surprised there haven't been many imitators of that kind of thing. My guess is sprite comics have such a stigma attached to them that anyone who is going to put that kind of effort is probably just going to stick to a different style anyways. It's a shame though.

Dabir posted:pixel art, not technically sprites since they're all fictional games I don't think that's a meaningful distinction. A sprite is still a sprite whether it comes from a game or was custom made. There are quite a few sprite comics that use sprites that were made by the author but they are still sprite comics. You could have a pixel comic without sprites, but that would be more like a comic where the artist draws out every panel with pixels. But that's not Kid Radd or 8-bit, etc. JuniperCake fucked around with this message at 22:36 on Jun 14, 2017 |

You aren't technically wrong, but people don't really refer to comics with sprite art as sprite comics unless they're using sprites from games, either wholesale like Bob and George or 8 Bit Theater or heavily modified like MS Paint Masterpieces. I usually hear people describe something like Diesel Sweeties as using pixel art, rather than as a sprite comic for example. Like, by your definition technically the majority of Homestuck is a sprite comic.

I agree with you but Homestuck has sprites for each character that exist to be copy-pasted and slightly modified so it kinda does have an argument to being a sprite comic (when it's not being an flash game/anime/whatever).

All I'm trying to say is while it technically fits the definition it's not the first thing most people think of when they think of sprite comics, because for the longest time "sprite comic" meant "video game sprites"

It does seem strange to me though. Even then I think Kid Radd would be a weird edge case because all the sprites are "fake" video game sprites anyways.

It's apparent from that post that he's aware he's going to lose the majority of his audience if he does it that way. I'm not thrilled by the concept either, but if he can't make himself love the project anymore, it's not going to work out, and it's probably better to do something else than fall into a gradual spiral of longer and longer update delays until the comic just vanishes forever, which is the usual way people do this. It's a shame, but sometimes great things just don't last.

It's a shame, but sometimes great things just don't last. Yeah, I think finishing it that way is better than not finishing it at all. Maybe the ideal solution would be finding an artist and focusing on the writing end of things since he still enjoys that. Though collaborations in general certainly aren't trivial undertakings either, lots of ways for that to be more work than it's worth. Either way, he's just gotta do what works for him. I just hope this project doesn't burn him out on art all together.
