What was that Dark Souls 3 comic starring a female character that was completely devoid of dialogue

I mean I haven't read GC in literally years because I don't even remember but I remember they do answer why the lady insisted on having a kid despite knowing full well it would kill her and it was something about how it was in fire's nature to propagate itself

How easy must it be to run a comics syndicate. People just send you whatever garbage and you just have to make sure it doesn't include any slang for penis and that's probably 95% of your day

I'll never forget the one-off joke that the whole comic was a stock photo dreaming she was Fighter, and she woke up.

And the forum response was mostly just "aw I'm sad the comic is over but this is a good ending".

Edit: Anyone else have fond but cringy memories of people trying to do dub videos of the comic and never getting more than like 30 pages in?

They always tried giving Black Mage an echo-y reverberating voice and it never worked

I did some rereading of 8-bit theater over the holiday, and the early bits certainly don't hold up very well. It is kinda funny to me to see the weird foreshadowing monologues that ultimately don't really get any pay off. I had a buddy who was angry when the comic ended at the lack of resolution to some of those.

At its best, 8-Bit Theater still was mostly dialogue, just a bunch of dudes talking with the occasional explosion. You can really see where Brian Clevinger got enough practice to become a really good writer.

The entire point of the comic was anticlimaxes and set ups that were set up hundreds of strips before the payoff intentionally being an anticlimax
Hell the climax of the comic was set up in the first 10 strips and the main non-WoL antagonist was a gag character that also appeared in the first few strips

Until your child matures around eight or so they shouldn't use computers or tvs. Or books. Or houses.

They should be under the watchful tutelage of a survivor expert and learn how to kill and scavenge so they'll be ready for the nuclear climate hosed environment they will come into adulthood in. Anything else is abuse and bad parenting.

What good is that training when nobody yet knows how to dress a turbo radiation deer

I'd support a comic that's basically Paranatural but with an editor. How does a single chapter somehow go on for four and a half years and still not be anywhere near close to wrapping up? :psyduck:

The latest strip had a payoff that I still don’t quite understand its significance because it was set up like five years ago, halfway through the current chapter

It actually found a plot somewhere along the way.

Wasn't it just a simple minimalist dialogue strip of a cat in a man suit doing cat things in business, because I went back one strip before the last and there was so much talking and so much implied lore and backstory

Not to defend every storyline the guy's done (because his writing style's not really my cup of tea anymore), but that whole era was a confused fundy kid trying to figure out how the world worked by making comics. His characters go through so many crises of faith and obsess about if things like having sex outside of marriage or if having gay friends is okay because he was going through them.

It keeps happening though

Dominic Deegan was that stupid

Terraciano had in a publicly accessible file a folder of boudoir pictures of live girls posing as corpses in blood filled bathtubs plus he very obviously fetishized dead or dying women in his comic to the point you can wager he had one hand down his pants when working on those pages

It wasn't that, precisely, though that is also lovely. It was an American Elf strip, I am almost certain, so had the multipanel format, was in color, and definitely built toward a payoff that was something like "Just do poo poo!" I always think of it when I need inspiration and want to share it with others.

I wanted to post the strip he made about his son's incredibly soft balls under spoiler as a goof to you but I really didn’t want to google elf son soft balls
