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.

Brentai · « **Reply #247 on:** October 26, 2008, 01:13:25 AM »

...oh, right. I'm out of here.

Zaratustra · « **Reply #248 on:** October 26, 2008, 08:13:02 AM »

Both can be.

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

TA · « **Reply #250 on:** October 29, 2008, 05:25:46 PM »

... 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.

Brentai · « **Reply #251 on:** October 29, 2008, 05:30:06 PM »

Finished as in "he unceremoniously killed off the party", but yes.

no even that was just a side comic

not that i would blame any a dude for dropping whatever shit was on his plate to go work on venture bros, but still.

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

Brentai · « **Reply #254 on:** October 31, 2008, 08:27:54 PM »

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

Seriously? Seriously.

François · « **Reply #255 on:** October 31, 2008, 09:36:15 PM »

...that it is. Wow.

It even has the Schlocktoberfest title on October 1st. Huh.

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?

Classic · « **Reply #257 on:** November 14, 2008, 10:18:17 AM »

Because she forgot to wear trousers?
Also it is free and in your bookmarks?

Zaratustra · « **Reply #258 on:** November 14, 2008, 11:06:02 AM »

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.

Classic · « **Reply #259 on:** November 14, 2008, 11:18:48 AM »

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