Huh. I didn't notice that the Rice Boy guy had started on his next project.

Oh wow. Kate Beaton is pretty awesome. She actually made me glad I visited Dresdon Codak.

I thought I already linked to Kate Beaton here?

Hers is basically the only webcomic I am reading, besides 3PS (for the art) and GYWO (for the sweet sweet bitterness).

EDIT: Oh yeah and gone with the blastwave, but he updates less frequently than ice ages come and go, so that doesn't really count, now does it?

Hmmmm...

Rice Boy is one of the nicer online creations I've read in a long time.

I've been reading this shit since middle school, but goddamn, Sluggy Freelance sure has been sucking a lot as of late.

Maybe it's because I don't like Harry Potter and I haven't played WoW in months, but it's like PARODY PARODY PARODY these days. WHAT THE FUCK PETE I WANT TO SEE ~~TORG AND AYLEE GET IT ON~~ THE ADVANCEMENT HERE.

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh did you seriously just notice that sluggy freelance is nothing but shitty parodies

Brentai · « **Reply #187 on:** August 07, 2008, 10:29:11 AM »

On the flipside, I absolutely hate it when he acts like he's got this super-important ongoing saga about nearsighted demons and evil balloon fetishists going on, and much prefer it when he brings on the funny.

Long-runners like Pete manage to survive by selectively ignoring people like you and me. It's true for pretty much all of them except Lesnick, who seems to somehow be powered by his insatiable desire for attention.

Oh god no. I pretty much stop reading when the Harry Potter parodies up and check back every month to see if it's over.

Isn't that the same as 'Appealing to a niche'?

Lesnick, unlike most webcomic artists, seems seriously interested in improving his own craft. That's a thing to respect.

And if that doesn't work out, just draw your characters naked.

Are you from Bizarro world or something?

Oh, you really are. I agree then.

Howard's mention of chupaquesos in the latest liner notes reminded me of why I started reading Schlock Mercenary in the first place. Of course, to date, I still haven't tried making one.

Someday.

Someday when I have my own fucking kitchen again.

McFrugal · « **Reply #193 on:** August 08, 2008, 07:02:41 PM »

I grow fonder of Schlock Mercenary as time goes on. It seems as though many of his story arcs are giant lead-ins to something either really cool or really interesting. See: Exotic Dark Matter aliens, and the Phoenix Project. I'm just glad that he keeps the strip entertaining on the way to the awesome, and somehow manages at the same time to keep an overarching plot that believably connects pretty much every recent major event.

Brentai · « **Reply #194 on:** August 08, 2008, 08:17:56 PM »

I have to admit that today's Sluggy combined with yesterday is one of the best WoW parodies I've ever seen. Dunno if it's 4 years too late or not, but in 4 more years I'd better see people on WoW screaming "Fucking pirate cut off my balls!"

The comic is more than 50% parody by volume. This is going back to the first story arc, here.

I know this is super old, but I did a search and nothing came up for Sexy Losers. My roommate just showed me yesterday. Unfortunately, it's really easy to whip through all of them, and it's not being updated regularly anymore. Last strip was in March... *sniff*

Anyhow, it's definitely a good selection if you feel like ~~seeing lots of 'toons splooge~~ saying, "That is so wrong!" while dabbing laugh-tears out of your eyes.

Fredward · « **Reply #197 on:** September 01, 2008, 08:14:39 PM »

Sexy Losers was big when I first got here. Five years ago.

Five...

Oh, incidentally, I have just discovered John Campbell's pictures for sad children. It resembles Achewood in that it is not often laugh-out-loud funny, but still satisfying overall. It also resembles Cat and Girl in that it ventures into "depressing, intellectual" territory. I like.

Royal☭ · « **Reply #198 on:** September 01, 2008, 08:18:26 PM »

The differences between those comics being that pictures for sad children hates you. And it mostly hates you because you're sitting there reading the comic that it hates you for reading.

Dooly · « **Reply #199 on:** September 01, 2008, 09:37:11 PM »

Man, I'd thought Sexy Losers stopped at #244.
