Akimbo comics?

No, definitely not that. The one I'm thinking of had very stick-figureish art.

Edit: Never mind, found it. It's 1/0 and it is pretty brilliant.

 

[epmode]

Pokey the Penguin is the best webcomic ever

I was hoping to see this post. Good man!

 

[Fimbulvetr]

Indeed it is.

Boxbot is still terrible though.

Robox, on the other hand, is pretty awesome.

 

[G-Fex]

Oh god it sickens me to see Diesel Sweeties on that list

There's the one webcomic I really hate.

 

[Measley]

Wow some of these are really freaking awful.

Who knows how accurate this is but I found this wiki kind of interesting.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_self-sufficient_webcomics

My goal was to be on that list. How awesome would it be to do comics for a living?

I remember reading about the lifestyle of the creator of Sinfest, and being very envious.

Speaking as the son of someone who does (on the newspaper side) its pretty awesome as far as jobs go, especially if its something you truly enjoy, but like everything it has its stresses. Regular day-after-day creative content production can be hard

BITE YOUR TOUNGE

 

[PflargBlarg]

xkcd is easily the comic that I hate the most. It's not the worst comic, but it's the most popular crap comic so I always get linked to it by other people.

Actually now that I think about it, the amount of links to it has gone down quite a bit. Maybe they also realized that it is crap.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Robox, on the other hand, is pretty awesome.

Everyone loves Robox.

 

[HK-47]

Some gaming comic a few years back that had a storyline of a guy catching his cousin using the Rez vibrator. I forgot the name and I don't want to know.



Oh yeah, this too. Such a shame since I really liked the art style but goddddddddddd

Also anything Mike Miller does:

Holy balls...

That can't be real. This is Astrolad with a crayon.

Boggles the mind why you're bitching about a dude making a living on some shit that bought your diapers.

I should try to rationalize my opinions and views with yugioh cards more often.

So bad it'll give you aids

I just stayed up all night reading through the whole thing. I guess I have aids now.

 

[Angry Grimace]

I'm assuming someone's already tried dropping "Penny Arcade" to try and troll.

I like PA when they stick to games and related topics. Sometimes they try to just be funny on their own merits (i.e. that weird crap about toilet paper samurai or the world's worst boy scouts or whatever) and it doesn't really work.

 

[Gazunta]

Yeah, I really (really) adore the art in Menagea3. I'm a huge fan of the Archie comics style and in particular Dan Decarlo's legendary run on it, and it looks like the artist here is a fan too.

But man, the characters. Good GRIEF.

Anyway. What would be the common things that make a terrible webcomic?

 

[Chinner]

Also curing the gays with his pure straight blood.

Spoiler

I'm not kidding, someone wrote that into a webcomic unironically.

That was once true, but Chris-Chan has made it easier for gays to live in Cwcvile, and now they're allowed to have relationships (although no gay marriage). Equally, their minds are no longer being watched by Magi-Chan on request on Mayor Chris-Chan himself.

Wow...I don't know who's suppost to come out looking better, it cant be the one using Yo-gi-ho (sic) as an example.

 

[Chinner]

Since when?

I dunno, last year? Trolls activists managed to give

imaginary

homosexuals better rights in Cwcvile. However, Chris-Chan has still has bans on tobacky (tobacco) and anyone caught importing it in will have 10 years imprisonment or a $1500 fine, although alcohol is now legal.

The perspective of the gun in that last panel hurts my brain

It's like if Escher drew emo manga, poorly

 

[opticalmace]

Achewood at its peak was GOAT.

Truth. I was about to chew out that guy that said Achewood sucks but I took a look at a recent comic. :\

 

[Spokeys]

Has anyone said Questionable Content yet? Yea, definitely that.

[SuperJay]

There's a lot of ways for a comic to go bad. Often, artists have a good underlying kernel of a joke, but for whatever reason --pacing, artistry, scripting, perspective, etc-- it just doesn't blossom. Everyone I've talked to who draws comics says the same thing: they just can't predict when something will click with people. The comics we like sometimes bomb and the comics we whip up almost as an afterthought sometimes find the largest audiences. That kind of uncertainty breeds a lot of anxiety.

That said, thanks for not ripping my comic apart too terribly bad!

 

[Sir Garbageman]

What do you guys think of Sinfest and Least I Could Do?

http://www.sinfest.net/index.php

http://www.leasticoulddo.com/

I've found them decent enough to spend an afternoon clicking through strips while at work.

 

[besada]

Sexy Losers?

I miss Sexy Losers.

Edit: I can't stop reading Moon Over June. There's fisting. In a webcomic.

 

[FoneBone]

Electronic Tigers and Shredded Moose deserve every bit of hatred they get.

But Achewood? Really? Are you on crack?

Damn you, I might just read through the entirety of this. All 3901 comics.

 

[Melchiah]

Badly drawn meme comics, that seem to have infested the "Pics that make you laugh" thread. It takes a lesser man than me to see the funniness in them.

 

[aesop]

Holy balls...

That is quite possibly the dumbest anti-evolution argument I've ever read.

Clearly you just got lost at the Yugioh part. Who's the retard now?!

Girlz 'N' Games
Shredded Moose
Anything by Tom Preston
The infamous "laser cheese" series, if they count as webcomics

 

[zon]

the artwork is nice, but All of the characters that arent the main character are horrible people. from the bi roomate that cockblocks him from sleeping with the other roommate so she can, to the multiple people trying to turn him gay for their own means. they might as well call it everyone is having sex but the main character, and cockblocking him keeps you alive.

What? There's been only one gay character who has repeatedly tried to convince Gary to play for the other team, then there's the transgendered girl who kept hitting on him for a total of five(?) strips. They are the only ones who tried to convince him to sleep with them. Zee helps him out more than she screws him over.

 

[Shiv47]

Sinfest is excellent, if only for the beautifully drawn art. It just looks the way a comic strip should look. If we're mentioning good strips, then I don't think anyone has mentioned The Non-Adventures of Wonderella, which is a great super-hero parody strip. The holiday strip where Wonderella pranks Batman is classic.

 

[zon]

I miss Sexy Losers.

Did you know that Clay has started making new comics? If you go to the Sexy Losers website you'll find a link to his new microblog (whatever that is) where he posts new strips.

Edit: I can't stop reading Moon Over June. There's fisting. In a webcomic.

What? How could I have missed this Moon Over June comic, time to add another website to my webcomics folder.

how has he helped him out? hooking him up with the chick that "totally isnt gay"? shes only doing that to divert his attention from the chick with the big boobs so she can have her shot at him. and even then, thats most likely gonna blow up in his face as well.

dont do it man, its not worth it

 

[bengraven]

Wow...that's a really great argument for creationism.

I feel like a retard now, like my entire life has been a lie. I mean...there are only 250 species of fossils in the world...all identical, like Yugi-Oh cards. Why isn't there more variation caused by evolution...

I'm a Christian now.

Praise God I've been reborn!

 

[Sir Garbageman]

Sinfest is really solid, enjoy!

 

[Gazunta]

I used to really like Sinfest but after a while it all seemed a bit samey to me. But I'm certainly not going to bash it. More power to the guy for finding an audience large enough to support him!

And Wonderella is amazing. Easily in my top 5.

 

[lunarworks]

Gotta agree. I read it for a while, it was fun, and then it got boring.

This is the same reason I stopped reading Sinfest. It got very repetitious in terms of concepts that he used. Bound to happen after almost 4000 comics so he's done well. It's still certainly worth reading until you get the feeling of repetition though.

Tim Buckley altered his style a bit yet again - the character mouths are bigger and uglier than ever, and he made the eyes narrower.
