The comic about the most loving terrifying lethal goof there's ever been. It's always a little jarring to see how Dang just cold-bloodedly offs people.

i was thinking about this reading that update

dang is like, this awkward isolated tinker nerd who when the chips are down will flip this switch and kill without hesitation

like, not even in the "human weapon" sort of sense, more like if the kid from home alone just loving executed the burglars with a knife from the kitchen after knocking them out

she clearly feels bad afterwards but like, what the hell happened in her past to make her like that

String Theory's been back for a while, and it's been truckin' away. Schtein has found his way back to being his old annoying self.

It's a shame that he's not going to go chasing after his old lab assistant, I wanna see more of what she's been up to.

These are extremely amazing comics human beings should read to be cool.

I do kinda wish people could do a read-through 'book club' style chat of comics instead of just randomly posting whatevers... but I realize that might be a huge ask. I think it'd be a cool idea though.

could make a good thread

i could probably use rereading the comics i do read, just to pick up on the subtler foreshadowing and so on this time around

studiously avoids looking at my list of unread comics :v:

there's also Wilde Life, which is admittedly less about busting ghosts and more like living with a chill ghost bro and encountering other weird supernatural stuff

i would argue that even narnia was obnoxious with its portrayal of religion; you have the good righteous christians and then the evil human-sacrificing (brown) non-christian people down to the south and east whoops

i'm not sure what it is but the story concept of christianity as good just generally doesn't seem to inspire writing interesting to anybody who isn't already pretty invested in christianity

evan dahm's work is really good read archivally (like, easily among the best webcomic work out there) but individual pages generally aren't as punchy as other stuff i read, so it's hard to keep up with regularly

kill six billion demons has religion as an element in the story but it's also a story where capital-g God committed holy suicide, the gods that came after are all long-dead (barring a twist), and the most powerful beings that rule all creation and call themselves demiurges are just really loving powerful people

idk if that really compares to any real-world religions or serves as a commentary on them :v:

this is not the most recent update of stand still stay silent, but it's pretty close and the most significant/least context-dependent

i catch up on that comic once every month or so, and (a) it's still incredibly slow and (b) I seriously cannot tell half the characters apart

the nordic aesthetic...

i personally feel the author does a pretty good job of differentiating the characters? there's a lot of face/body diversity

other than every single person in surviving civilization being white as gently caress anyway :v:

like, for example:



q: how often have I confused these two characters?

a: basically every time they show up

I actually had to read through the relevant page several times before I realized there were two different characters there...

they have similar noses and hair color, literally everything else is different

alternative answer: human males and females don't look nearly as different as western culture has led you to believe

I'm usually pretty good at differentiating them IRL.

how much does that have to do with gender norms though? put them in the same sort of clothing with the same hairstyle and no makeup, you're going to find that humans form a pretty consistent spectrum from one extreme to the other and the middle is not nearly as underpopulated as you might guess

been reading a comic lately about a violent superpowered rear end in a top hat who ends up getting a plea deal to become a supercop because her dad's a bigshot

honestly i don't like the protagonist very much? but i like some of the character designs in this thing. check out these pages out







anyway it's named Paradise and it's on tumblr and tapastic, pick your awkward hosting poison if your interested
