OT - comics
 

(Time for dogscoff's regular but random Friday afternoon off topic ramblings=-)

I'm a big fan of Online comics and I wantd to say thanks to Suicide Junki for his links to 8bit thatre and Schlock - brilliant stuff.

Personally I follow www.supermegatopia.com (slightly kinky, but funny) www.kevinandkell.com
Freefall (can't rememebr the URL - d'oh!)

oh, and as far as dead-tree media gos, take a peek at www.transmetropolitan.com - one of the best comics in print. Spider Jerusalem really is very very cool=-)


I'v just realised that Suicide_Junkie shares his initials with Spider Jerusalm. Ooooh....

Check out http://giaever.com/op/transmet/main.htm for the kind of thing that Spider says.

I used to read a lot of Online comics, but I found I was spending far too much time waiting for my slow modem to download the images, so I cut way back. The only one I still read daily is Sluggy Freelance:

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

www.cartoozine.com is quite good, it hosts a lot of cartoons, comics and flash animations, some of the work is great, other stuff sucks...

I also draw cartoons, but I don't have a homepage, and besides they're all in Dutch, so posting them wouldn't be too usefull...

Try www.userfriendly.org; good Microsloth bashing & a recent storyline about building missile silos and robomechs out of Legos...

Re: OT - comics
 

Let's see...
Sluggy Freelance
User Friendly
GPF
Avalon
Schlock Mercenary
Megatokyo
Clan of the Cats
Sinfest
Real Life
Nukees
Exploitation Now (caution: mature readers only)
RPG World


I think that's most all of what I have bookmarked at home. My favorite of these is Sluggy, but then, whose favorite _isn't_ Sluggy?

Some of my favs:


Bruno the Bandit
Diesel Sweeties (some mature subject matter for those of you which care about such things...)
and probably my favorite, The Mr. Chuck Show, which features the epitome of comedic achievment, the rake beating (also contains a bit of mature subject matter, though less than Diesel Sweeties, though more than my real life, which is a shame, a real damn shame...)
