...oh, no, I accidentally left the banner on "shitpost." That was the opposite of my intention!

Eh, it works.


Also if there's going to be a new thread, shouldn't the first posts be updated instead of a copy/paste of the last two threads' first posts? The webcomic IRC channel has been dead for aeons.

I didn't check all of the comic list sections, but for the goon made comics it seems like Bad Reputation and Ellie Starling's Very Long Walk have either changed domains or stopped altogether.

Bad Reputation is dead for sure. The author confirmed that on her tumblr. Ellie Starling's Very Long Walk was going to be turned into a video game by its creator, but I guess he gave up on that project and mostly posts in PYF and the DC and Marvel threads here now.

I haven't read it past the first few pages, but if what someone said earlier is true and it's not past the first boss fight yet then she probably wouldn't have armor yet. I don't think you find anything to wear till after that.

I don't know, I have this fear of becoming disconnected. People don't contact me directly with criticism and complaints, it only occurs on public forums, and I feel kind of obligated to experience it lest I grow complacent among people sending me bland praise. And just watching without acknowledging I'm there or contributing feels rude? I don't think I'm good at meshing with SA culture though, and I feel bad about that. I am not very good at this.

You're bad at this because you're an emotionally-stunted manchild with deep insecurity issues that desperately wants others to see him as the height of objective intellectualism.

We already knew Annie's parents loved each other that's not a mystery unless you're in some irrational place like Annie and think her dad has mind control powers. This arc does feel like it'd fit better as a side vignette that compliments the story... what's left of one at least.

But whatever, her dad coming back threw a wrench in whatever remained of the pacing for the comic years ago. Maybe we'll get lucky and coyote will destroy the court in 10 pages for a quick and satisfying end to another "female protag with daddy issues" plot line.

e- also I liked Jones' backstory chapter

That's not the mystery I'm talking about, but seeing the start of their relationship is vitally important to getting there.

I'm talking about why they decided to have a child despite knowing full well what the cost would be.

That's not a mystery either. Either they didn't know, Tony thought could cure it because male ego, or they did know but did it anyway because love. Maybe some mix of the three? It's something interesting to fill in but it doesn't really hook me in as a mystery.

Anyway her dad coming back was one of best things to happen to the comic's plot so we'll never see eye to eye

ZenMasterBullshit posted:

Annie's dad coming back is the only thing in the comic that's given Annie's arc any real weight or anything to do (Her talk with Wolf Tree about it is basically the biggest moment of reflection she's given to her actions since the comic started) and more has happened in the big overall plot arcs since he came back than before (Kat's new bio-mechanical stuff, robot's cult getting more solidified, the Shadow Men being introduced, Jeanne being dealt with and Kat's weird mechanical god form being observed, Annie actually facing some backlash for her hosed up and dangerous plans/disregard of others). Tony showing up hasn't hurt the pacing at all.

Anthony coming back is the first time Annie's faced any serious consequences for cheating and defying the court but I don't think he'd be integral to either of those if Tom felt like using a different agent for those consequences. There'd definitely be a way that wasn't such a tired path of angst for a female protagonist. It might have even been more interesting to have her expelled like the court was planning on doing? Ysengrin calling her out was amusing but I would have preferred to see Annie work through how she separated her anger and fire like that and fold it back into herself rather than have Ysengrin solve that problem by breaking the blinker stone.

As far as plot arcs, Kat's transformation into a biomechanical goddess form was first revealed before she got a girlfriend and that was... god 4 years ago? Robot's cult has been plugging along 8 years or more. The shadow men had one cameo back like 7 years ago and just popped up again recently. We don't know what they do or want, except I guess to have free robosex. They have even less of a hook to them at this point than that mysterious shadow group in SFP that killed all the children with useful superpowers.

I can't think of any dangerous plans Annie has made or carried out between "I must construct a robotic walking device which will provide you with transit across the bridge!" and them freeing Jeanne. The time she tried to break Jack's heart, found out he doesn't give a crap about her, and got laughed at, I guess? Oh, I guess the first time she went looking for Reynardine and he almost murdered her. I always thought they glossed over that a weird amount. The last time she put someone in danger with Jeanne was an accident she had no way of expecting. The other major actions I remember Annie taking were pretty impulsive, which she has been told off for, like when she ran off into the forest for the summer and Kat was pissed. I don't remember any other times where Annie and Kat asked for help from people who weren't fully aware of the danger they were being placed in, which is bad and worth being told off for, but not enough has happened yet to know if Annie learned from that.

Jeanne has been something that was introduced as a mysterious plot hook that was first introduced in 2006. We got a big revelation about in 2009, with the Sky Watcher and the Angel chapter. Parley and Smitty got pulled into it later in 2009, and they periodically talk about doing something until Jeanne is finally freed as of a year ago. Only you know that's not the end because now coyote is up to something, to be continued etc. I was kind of disappointed by Jeanne's resolution. Maybe I'd just been waiting so long I'd stopped being as invested in it?

Huh, looking back at it, a lot of my favorite chapters were from between 2009 and 2012. I don't know if any of the more recent stuff has worked as well for me.

The dude behind 70 Seas and Latchkey Kingdom used to post here quite regularly too, but the people of this thread being generally weird and garbo kinda scared him off too, I think.

No one was weird about his comic as far as I remember. There were a lot of webcomic-makers when this thread pulled double duty as the shop talk thread. Then that got moved off to CC to become another half-dead thread in an even tinier forum than BSS. This became a thread where people would only come to promote their comics, which historically has always had about a 50/50 shot on going well depending on how egotistical the comic's author is. Apparently lot of the people also disappeared after the #webcomic channel fractured and melted down into drama, but that bit I heard secondhand.
