Now that Evan Dahm has finished publishing The Harrowing of Hell he's back to updating Vattu frequently. As with all Rice Boy-related tales, it's interesting and different. http://www.rice-boy.com/vattu/

No, but given that the strip's covered 2 months at the most in its entire run so far he might be hospitalized forever!

It's very unlikely but there's an outside chance!

If you want a vision of the future, picture the same six characters, stomping into a comic strip, forever

Haven't been able to find out more about this but I hope this isn't the case. They can always choose to end it whenever but if this is true, aw man that sucks.

Wonder if this is connected at all to Abbadon's twitter thread yesterday. The internet seems designed to amplify the most negative voices.

Not sure if serious (I'm sleep deprived right now), but I don't think so? I vaguely recall that a bunch of the strips involved Mario in some way, but not all of them.

Yeah Bobulus is talking about something different - a classic in its own right.

On the subject of remembered comics we can't find, what was the name of that strange comic/multimedia project set in a future with wide use of virtual reality? Felt kind of snowcrash-ish, had a layabout protagonist with an rear end in a top hat drug popping friend. I remember that it had lots of clickable and sort of animated/sound features on each page. I can picture it but have no idea what it was named.

Homestuck? I don't know, I never read it, but it sounds similar from how some of my friends who did read it have described it to me.

Not homestuck - far less cartoonish in art, and more set in a real grimy city. I remember the art being pretty detailed. Very cyberpunk vibe.

Sideways scrolling with multimedia elements. Some kind of neon future city setting? Main character was some sort of hacker I think? Something to do with dreams manifesting as neon kaiju monsters? I can amosr see it but I can't remember any identifying features.

That's it, yeah. I can remember so much of it but not quite enough to google anything that gets results. Not important but one of those things that'll bug me until I figure it out.

I found it! It was called Nawlz! Annnnnd it ran on flash, so it is currently lost to history. God drat did it feel good to figure that out at least.

Naw Mcninja was good from the get go. Remember, it started as a one off project (an art school assignment iirc?) that people liked enough for him to keep doing. One of the arcs before he brought on a colorist is Dracula's moon base, which may be the best part of the whole thing.

I have a vague memory of a comic. There were demons in it, and every time one dies, it entered a deeper and more terrifying level of hell, which I think went on forever. I can't even remember if this was a big part of the comic. Anyone remember it?

Perhaps the Clandestinauts? Believe that went graphic novel-only.

There's a lot of stuff that went into the sauce but I think a lot of it is just being written by a veteran online troll with his finger on the pulse of internet culture and an insane workaholic schedule. The man lived online and he knew what made his fellow internet dwellers tick, and reveled in pushing their buttons.

An insane workrate and also genuinely funny, in a very weird and unique way. Everyone remembers the comic bogging down into a giant mess, but there's a reason it was a smash hit. When Homestuck was young there was legitimately nothing like it. Weird, CYOA, mysterious video game stuff, and then you'd see that [s] and the loading screen and...wow. Some moments that I still remember clearly.

I've really been enjoying:

Rusty & Co. Three DnD monsters decide to become adventurers. Like many other similar fantasy comics it started humorous and episodic and has gradually shifted to a more serious overarching story. The art has really improved over the years, and I really like the puns. (The current pages look simple and crayony but that's not the usual art style, it's a flashback to a weird place.)


I forgot about this one! I read it a little while ago and it kept taking me by surprise how funny it was

If we're bringing up new recs, here's a few I've come across in recent years

Phantomarine, a fantasy story set on in a flooded world where the god of death rules the seas and nobody is happy about it, including him. When the royal family's daughter dies at sea, he has a chance for her to help him heal the world, but she has grown up firmly faithful that he's the literal devil. Very charming writing, every character is fun to watch.


I just read through this one's archives and greatly enjoyed it. It's cute, it's intriguing, and the art is lovely. Thank you so much for sharing. <3
