My cousin lives in an apartment right above Lorenzo Lamas. He planned to hum tunes from Grease if they ever passed in the halls.

Now he can just play the Snake Eater theme really loud.

I like how Schlock Mercenary's Tagon just started getting drawn with lines in his forehead in the past few strips, which incidentally are about his having a mid-life crisis.

Is there some trope out there that's the equivalent of "bringing attention to your a character's age suddenly makes them acquire older/younger features"?

SPOILER: Apparently the spontaneous appearance of the wrinkle is a plot point.  That, or more people than I have brought it up.

I'm pretty sure this whole Tagon age thing is caused by Howard himself feeling the weight of the years.

Howard works with a two or three week buffer, so it's unlikely he was answering to fan issues.

Tagon's been arguing with his dad for about two weeks now, though.

...

Man, this arc really is self-serving.  If Tagon ends up with a sex robot for a girlfriend I'm out of here.

Wait, wait. I thought Kevyn was the self-insert, not Tagon.

RPG World was finished?  A year ago?  How'd I miss that for a year?

... wait, finished as in "he went back and did the rest of it"?  'cause i thought that strip had been dead for like four years.

Do you understand how terrifying the words “vibrating strap on” are for an asexual? That’s like saying “the holocaust” to a Jew.

You know, I honestly did not see this coming.
This says something for the tenacity of webcomics on the net, I suppose.

It just occurred to me that the aging storyline was supposed to be the yearly horror storyline.

Seriously?  Seriously.

I keep reading Gunnerkrigg Court, and I feel like I'm doing myself a huge disservice.  It's not that the plot moves at a snails pace, or that the dialogue is forced and joyless most of the time.  It's that the entire thing feels like a self-insertion fanfic of the writer's own work.

Sure, there appears to be a bunch of unspoken, ill-defined rivalries and conflicts between multiple factions, but the passionless, near cypher of a main character can get through them all simply by doing and saying nothing.  Why, why do I read this?

She's not "passionless", she just doesn't demonstrate her feelings much. If you want OUTPOURINGS OF INNER ANGST I understand Megatokyo still updates occasionally.

One of the few webcomics I actually stopped reading in spite of it being free and apparently from someone who could draw.
