Grrl Power? Is that the one where there is a character named "Harem" who is several different women, and another is a succubus who reads people's minds to find out their fetishes and shapeshift into them? And you say that creepiness might pop out again?

The entire second part of Apothecia fell flat to me. None of it worked. The characters were all stupid, including the protagonist, and their actions made no sense.

As far as the Foglio's notorious issues with pacing go, this doesn't feel like it has dragged on for months. I guess after Mechanicsburg, nothing ever will.

The current chapter is a coyote story chapter. The moment the splash page went up for it we went from hundreds of pages of "Anthony Carver did nothing wrong :colbert:" to what will surely shape up to be hundreds of pages of "Literally everything and everyone is Coyote in disguise :colbert:". That thread has become completely filled with stupid, and it's sad to see it do so, because there used to be a lot of good discussion in there.

It has taken a sinister turn! Haha, get it? Sinister? Because he has no right hand? It's a witty pun.

Pintsize's purpose in QC is the same purpose as Choo-Choo Bear in Something Positive or McPedro in Girls With Slingshot. It's the webcomic twist on the wacky talking animal sidekick archetype, and it's offensively obnoxious to any reader older than five, just like every single other wacky talking animal sidekick ever created.

And He's the kind of crazy perfectionist who creates 3D models of every location in his comic so things stay on model.

And then he uses the renders directly, instead of tracing over them, so his characters end up looking like 2D cardboard cutouts standing in a 3D scene.

Nope, different comics by different people in different art styles. (I'll be generous and not put scare quotes around art.)

Help Desk is more passive-aggressive, though; look at that "endorsement" sidebar.

The profile says it's for a man in Prague but Bunny Meat is signed with a very feminine Japanese name. What's the deal there?

"Bunny Meat is a tie-in to the graphic novel series Serious Engineering. It is heavily inspired by Nekojiru's Cat Soup comics to the point of being a rip-off."

So my guess is that "Megumi Tomoe" is a fictional author and Bunny Meat is something that is supposed to exist "in-universe" in Serious Engineering. (I haven't read it.)

Of course they are, I'm pretty sure his publisher didn't survive the golden age.

That'd make them orphan works, not public domain.

If Hanks had the copyright on his characters, since he died in 1976, they'll be public domain in 2046 (70 years after author's death). In case of corporate ownership, since his last work were published in 1941, the copyright will expire merely in 2036 (120 years after creation or 95 years after publication, whichever comes sooner).
