Some people like formatting tricks and some people dismiss them as gimmicks, if you've ever talked with someone about House of Leaves you've been there.

Yeah, adding trinkets can be dangerous. It's essential to have a firm quote ahead of time, since some things have odd price breaks or are mysteriously expensive relative to other goods.

Nuns with Guns posted:iirc Tracy Butler went to bat for 4de when rumors were swirling around about that, so who really knows what was going on I thought she went to bat for 4D over Tessa Stone instead? If you look through The Meek's comment section, I remember Der-Shing saying her workload was too demanding to also be updating*. It's easy to see a publisher as faceless but artists often have personal reasons for parceling out their time the way they do. * I thought I remembered her saying it was too exhausting emotionally at that time as well, but as I can't seem to find that I've edited it out.

FactsAreUseless posted:Let's all start reading Sluggy Freelance ironically, then get really into it unironically, and appreciate the adventures of Torg, Zoe, Riff, Gwynn, Bun-Bun, Sasha, Kiki, Aylee, and everyone else in this nifty comic. SF was one of my first webcomics and though I don't read it any more, I have a lot of fondness for it.

The news coming out of it is still pretty strange though, like I thought they were developing a NYC studio, but now it doesn't exist? But I have a friend who is working on the game, whose work is shown prominently, who has never been at any kind of physical studio?

I agree that it's important to provide some clarity as to why the discrimination exists in the form chosen in the comic, but I also think these stories (ironically) don't tend to represent a lot of diversity among their monsters as people. The ideological conflicts tend to be very, well, suggestive of discussions among young artists. This thread, for example, spent some time discussing Christian symbolism/imagery like it was bizarre or "weird", but if you go out and about, a very good number of people are Christians and having Christianity be a strong theme in someone's work is not strange at all? For fun, I did a story with a politically conservative monster and a lot of people told me it was loving weird.

I also think they tend to borrow too heavily specifically from racism. I have a number of friends who are disabled and disfigured, and their experience in public is very particular and I would imagine applicable to writing a story where differences in appearance are key. For example, I remember going to the state fair with a friend with one arm who wasn't wearing her prosthetic, and a child just pointed at her and broke down and cried. There was no ill-will from anyone involved, no one was "denying" anything to anyone else per se, but drat that was not great.

It isn't an approach I prefer because it suggests to me that the author wishes it were animated instead.

Having to do the peripheral stuff really kills you. It's not that comics tend to die out "just as they get successful", it's that metrics of success correspond closely with the massive transition to operating a business.

SlothfulCobra posted:I love that there are some webcomics that live long enough that they have to rebrand themselves to move with the times. First El Goonish Shive has to contrive a video rental store into internet movie reviews, and now Between Failures is making one of its characters switch from wanting to make indie movies to becoming an LP superstar. Zebra Girl completely gave up on the tech support plot angle in like 2003.

I'd say it's like a combination of Jack and Goblins, only in a good way. I sort of like grotesque, exaggerated art and I think it deserves a fair shake.

A lot of neat comics end about 30 pages in, that doesn't mean those 30 pages aren't worthwhile or enjoyable.

Renaissance Robot posted:Having read and in a very tortured way enjoyed both of those comics in my youth, I'm not sure that's possible. I can't even begin to imagine what you mean. Specifically the art style. A lot of highly-emotive monstrous beings with a 90s western-animation feel, combined with high-detail backgrounds with heavy linework (and intensity of linework fairly consistent from the background to the foreground). I don't think there's enough plot yet to characterize any aspect of it.

Yeah, but like, I like emotive work? I'd much rather read melodrama with a lot of crying and at least attempts at deep feeling--love, distress, etc--than something detached.

Android Blues posted:Agreedo. People are too shy about sentimentality sometimes. It feels weird to read comics where the characters are more blase about their own situations than I am as the observer. Hell, I've had to cut a lot of my dispassionate friends out of my life in the last few years because being around their apathy is so contagiously dispiriting. If that leaves me constantly refreshing Cucumber Quest and Bittersweet Candy Bowl then so be it  .

Oh yeah, I assume you're correct. I meant that comment more generally, I don't expect I'll read Gashire, or at least I will only check on it periodically to see if it ends up being a door. The premise doesn't really grab me either thus far. OTOH I have terrible taste so

I'd still rather read someone trying to write emotion who is a little hammy about it than another comic where everyone approaches problems like Harry Potter and the Methods of Rationality or whatever that thing is called.
