So I started reading Goodbye to Halos because of you fuckers got to the point where the dude was introduced as "Very Con-cerned Gay Lion" and decided nope

I just

Look I'm straight so that means I don't have an invested interest in queer fiction by default, but this has nothing to do with that. That is a terrible way to introduce a character I don't care what whimsical bullshit you're trying to coat it in. Imagine O Human Star if it introduced Al as "Grumpy Frustrated Gay Man Who May Have Always Wanted To Be Trans But It's Kind Of Complicated And A Touchy Subject"


On second thought that would be almost ridiculous enough to pass.


What I'm trying to say is that Goodbye to Halos has lovely writing that makes me angry as a writer, just in how it introduces people. And that's notable.

Don't worry gutter I doubt anyone thinks you're the person who makes Halos


Nor cares if you are.

Like, if you enjoy it then cool. If you don't, and you have good reasons for it, also cool. No one needs to make anyone else feel like poo poo over a super gay webcomic on the internet in 2016. We have enough poo poo to worry about.



Also why don't we talk about O Human Star more because that thing is a treat. No I don't care it's not coming back until December gently caress ya'll

Hey, always worth an ask: are there any good webcomics with LGBT themes/characters? I know of Check Please, which is slow-updating but pretty cute, and somewhat along the lines of what I was looking for.

Not going to tell you how exactly but

Being entirely honest, you hit the nail on the head.

He's said as much about Sexy Heroic Rapist- that was why he did it. Why NOT contrive a reason for a rapist to be a hero?

Never mind the reasons you don't do that, especially in light weight bullshit like DD.


Another edge to the epic legacy of DD is the fact that it is bound in Mookie's personal interests and fetishes. It's some lovely online comic he did so why not indulge himself?

Cue the sexy posed corpses and loads of other weird fetishy poo poo that kept popping up.


I don't think anyone could ever make a comic quite like Dominic Deegan again. It might be beyond mortal ken to accomplish

Every now and again I check on his new comic- not to read it just to see if it's still going. I'm always kind of pleasantly surprised to see it is.

Star Power is just kind of boringly competent from what very little I've looked at it. I'm not sure how good or bad it is, but I remember the thread lost all steam with it because it was Mookie being very professional, possibly due to having a filter of another artist directing his efforts.

This is why DD could support and maintain a mock thread where all else fails.

No matter how awful it got, there was always this charm to it that made you really, REALLY love hating it.


The consistent updates helped too. Mookie being a pretty alright guy with some weird fetishes also helped the thread from getting too icky or personal.

I do forget just how stupid that Zen Pencils multi part ART VS HATE thing really was.

Just, Jesus Christ. Miyazaki as your founder and leader of Art that defends artists from haters?

It's also messed up because Miyazaki is known to be a very harsh critic and is dismissive of a lot of other people's art including pretty much all of his contemporaries. So choosing him as some kind of defender against criticism is really bizarre.

Seriously the fucker HATES the modern Anime industry, and doesn't have a lot of kind words to say about others either.

That's basically what happened. The adults decided that a teenager with a history of violence and mental illness can go straight back to school after mutilating her attacker's genitals (apparently).

Wait what

Okay I need some explanations here. The last time I heard about Dumbing of Age there was some stupid vigilante arc going on

I looked up what happened and I am very disappointed. We don't get to see any dick stabbing at all.

I was hoping after Willis' foray into porn he'd be less squeamish about the fun parts of genital mutilation but yet again he has forsaken me.

Also Jesus Christ what is even this comic. "YOU LOVE MONSTERS"

What melodramatic loving soap opera

Alert me if we get any real dick stabbing.

I'm surprised no one brought up the fact that Clevin is very clearly the author's self-insert. There are many layers to this characters and by that I mean two: wish fulfillment and creepy as gently caress.

As I mentioned in the other thread, dude's either going to die, or come in and be an awful shitheel because the main girl is hanging out with her It's Complicated Other.

If neither happen, this comic is worse than I thought
