A link!

I'm glad they found a part they could sandwich him into.

Also, in case anyone else wanted to know: The name 'Pancetta' fits.

The other side of the coin: How much does the Oracle know about this, and how does it factor into her plans?

I want this to turn into Nightmare Knight and Princess Parfait adventures, on a quest to save his kids/minions/friends. But that will never happen as that is a bad idea, and this comic is on a good idea streak.

Though it was probably more for relieving stress and giving him time to think, I hope that NK's baking turned out to be his method of apologizing to the Disaster Masters. Nothing takes the edge off of being told that you're probably going to disappear than a chest full of amazing sweets.

What comics are these?

Look up 'hiimdaisy' for metal gear solid 3 and Persona 4. They were funny, bite-sized pokes at the weirder parts of the games.

And, as stated earlier, the internet ruined it. But look them up.

What's really funny is that the Persona 4 comics were also a pretty decent way to get a super-condensed but still entertaining run through of the game's plot, a la DBZ Abridged.

Wife made a good observation. In the comic where she states that 'this isn't like me', the gutter for the comic cuts over her face to punctuate the loss of identity.

Also, the lighting here is freaking great.

I think that this Disaster Master is a bit more than he appears, especially with the tensions between Cuco and Almond.

That's going to end up being key in this chapter, and in more than a background way.

The chairoscuro lighting in the 2nd panel of the latest one is straight-up gorgeous. And there's little petals in the background, too.

The super best friends do my favorite banter LPs. The ones where they play truly garbage games like ride to hell retribution are the best, when they can just tear apart a game or completely lose it at how broken it is.

Chip cheezum does the best informative LPs. His metal gear revengeance and wonderful 101 runs where he just bodies them while showing off the secrets/superbosses or whatever and also adds insightful commentary with good video editing is the best, especially because his copilot is going in blind on both.

Second on both. Super Best Friends (Sw1tcher) have some really good chemistry for just talking about weird poo poo in games or just weird poo poo in general while they play over something like Yakuza 0 or one of their Fisticuffs videos. Chip Cheezum does really, really good informative plays. They did one recently of Uncharted 4 where they point out the small details of the game that help make it into this grand setpiece. Their 'Metal Gear Rising' playthrough is also amazing, mainly because CC is just super, super good at the game and General Ironicus (his co-pilot for his LPs) is just so excited to see the Metal Gear Ray get cut in half.

There's some other ones out there I enjoy, but those two are really, really good if you're looking to get into watching something to waste some time.

I'unno, the only webcomic artist who went to law school was that conservative brony guy. And that was one of the worst law schools in the US.

Gigi, dahling, if there's one thing the States don't need more of, it's lawyers.

Maybe try a STEM degree? Architecture might suit you.

(I don't know if she still reads this thread, but it's worth a shot!)

Stephen Pastis, creator of 'Pearls Before Swine', was an artist who went to law school and became a litigator. He just got tired of it, took a shot, got rejected three or four times then finally hit his niche with Pearls.

Then again, that's not webcomics, so maybe the rules are different.

Nothing is being shrouded. You seem to have read too much Cucumber Quest and imagine that this person on in the internet is like Nightmare Knight, just acting mean when they really want to bake cake or something. In reality there is only the cold, unsentimental reality of someone calling a webcomic bad and then improving it.

Hmm...it wouldn't be hard to make an animatic version of this, with the text scrolling over the background images and some music playing for the backdrop.

I'll have to fire up Davinci when I get my normal computer back. Heck, or Ren'Py if you want to control scrolling and have a 'log' menu.

It isn't dead. It's just...evolving. And it got real dusty in here...
