At least the grand finale will be grand. Galctic scale grand.

In Grrl Power, superheroine Sydney "Halo" Scoville is talking with a doctor about her mental issues. One thing she says:

Oh I don't care about that! I kicked their * asses!

What she calls nightmare is ... I don't spoil it ;D

Today's Order of the Stick really had me laughing.

Daryk · « **Reply #393 on:** 10 July 2019, 17:41:32 »

That was HILARIOUS! ;D

Thanks for the tip! It hadn't updated when I checked before work...

I feel like Loki should have a group of minions following behind him, all dressed and singing like Eduard Khil.

Daryk · « **Reply #395 on:** 10 July 2019, 18:02:46 »

LOL! ;D

Totally agreed... ^-^

Is the nature of webcomics changing? I found the ones i follow through the years starting fade, while new ones haven't really popped up.

sometimes you just have to look around. a lot of the normal services used to host webcomic sites have been dying off so new ones are often harder to find. you might want to check out webtoons and Tapas, they seem to be places a lot of webcomics start now (and die, sadly)

a few of my favorites..
Nothing Special
Sword Interval
The Uniques
White Heron
Sammy
The Gamercat

some comics also have alternate/archive uploads to those sites as well..
Demon Archives has a backup on tapas, though it runs a chapter or so behind.
No End (zombie comic with violence and some adult themes) used to update there but was able to secure a site of their own eventually.
Replay also has a backup there but it is way out of date. ( :( )
The last Cowboy updates on tapas as well, though a bit slower than the main site.

Just finished an archive crawl through the entirety of El Goonish Shive. That was exhausting, but enjoyable.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #398 on:** 01 October 2019, 12:45:58 »

Did you read the Newspaper Comics as well?

Weirdo · « **Reply #399 on:** 01 October 2019, 13:31:20 »

Working my way through the more recent ones, from once his art style improved.

MoneyLovinOgre4Hire · « **Reply #400 on:** 01 October 2019, 14:08:42 »

EGS has really gone through some serious art shifts, hasn't it?

Weirdo · « **Reply #401 on:** 01 October 2019, 14:14:14 »

It's 17 years old, I'm not surprised. And the current art style is cute as a button. :)

Wrangler · « **Reply #402 on:** 01 October 2019, 15:10:06 »

i just miss EGS being more adventurous and the comic gags. Nothing forever, but seem not same thing i fell in love with.

Oh yes, I think the current art style is great. It's just funny going back and comparing Elliot or Ted's original looks to now.

Misfile is about the only webcomic I can think of that ran for a long time and never changed the art style at all. And, well, the less I say about Misfile, the better.

Daryk · « **Reply #404 on:** 01 October 2019, 15:53:03 »

xkcd has been pretty consistent from the beginning too... ^-^

Weirdo · « **Reply #405 on:** 01 October 2019, 16:12:33 »

I lost track of Misfile years ago. I'd stop reading it for a month or two, and then it'd be a huge pain in the ass to find my spot again.

Schlock Mercenaries seems to be cruising along with their big combat with the Pa'anuri. 10/5/2019 webcomic strip was awesome form of permission to Burn and then pillage. ;D

ThePW · « **Reply #407 on:** 25 October 2019, 22:12:41 »

OK.... who on here reads Quantum Vibe? https://www.quantumvibe.com/strip?page=2015 and who here is familiar with the setting to understand the politics of the setting? I'm try to understand the implications of the French Conehead dudes invading bubbleoplis?

If you have not, well go to the beginning. Its a long and convoluted ride (rare amounts of nudity plus they warm you, FYI)

It's the last book. He has to wrap things up.

Daryk · « **Reply #409 on:** 26 October 2019, 08:24:21 »

The good news is Tayler has said he'll continue with stories in the same universe, just with different characters. I'll miss the Tagons (both of them), but will probably continue reading when that day comes...

In other news, it appears Erfworld is done. I'm already missing it...

I just want to get it over with. Not a big fan of how Tayler's comic has evolved.

Oh yeah I was wondering if there were other Erfworld readers here. It was really a "perfect storm" of tragedy, I'm still in shock over it.

Daryk · « **Reply #411 on:** 26 October 2019, 14:35:10 »

Perfect storm indeed. I e-mailed Rob, but haven't heard back (no surprise there).

Schlock has gone in an unexpected direction for me, but I'm still interested to see how it plays out. Tayler still wins for his 4 SEP 2016 comic. Even though he's never been in any military, he got it exactly right.

You were a Tool? What did you email him for?

Yeah well. It's a full 180 from the burn-and-eat Schlock we started out with and it doesnt make me laugh any more. Plus there's the whole clone thing which ends up making me just not care about the fate of the characters... Oh Tagon 3 died? Roll out the next one.

Daryk · « **Reply #413 on:** 26 October 2019, 19:02:12 »

I wasn't a Tool, but did back their Kickstarter. I e-mailed them my sympathy, basically. Erfworld was one of my daily checks for years.

I still laugh at Schlock, if not as much as I used to.

Ah I see.

One thing about Erfworld, it really wasn't very economical. Even at peak it was working out at what, a dollar plus per page per Tool, how does that compare against a Marvel/DC comic book. Let alone a Kindle novella.

Daryk · « **Reply #415 on:** 26 October 2019, 20:55:00 »

They were doing that mining thing for a bit... I thought that was going pretty well. I'm sure the cash flow (or lack thereof) didn't kill it. At least that's what I took away from the announcement.

Even when the last book wraps up, he said he going continue on with universe. He was just dropping main characters so change things up.

Heh... I missed "I AM the storm." last night, but it's one of my favorite lines now... :)

Huzzar! I forgot about this fun webcomic. I actually thought it was dead. I'm going re-read from 2002, celebrate's return. (goes into coma)
