Didn't the sum of the boards recommend against going to that webcomic?
Oh well, in my books it still rates better than M3.

I don't know what M3 is, but I'm more than willing to take your word for it.

The dick off-chopping is really more of a slow, painful, peeling. :ohgod:

On the other hand, a recent one had fucking someone in the ear be the punchline.

I dunno, there's something about it I kind of like. I love this character, as sort of a Monk-tan, but honestly it's really hard to care about everyone else. She's the only one that seems even remotely unique. The other ones are just palette swaps.

The fact that they are constantly keeping it safe is really annoying and boring. Any time anyone says anything provocative, be it a joke or whatever, they always go out of their way to define it as intentionally ironic. It saps out any possible fun you might have an replaces it with the smuggest fucks in the history of webcomicry sucking each other's dicks.

Like there's absolutely no conflict anywhere.

The desperate need to identify the cast as indie is pretty annoying too. Expressing that you're aware of how pointless all of hipsterdom is does not give you the thumbs-up to go ahead and be a shameless hipster. You've just found a whole new level of elitism, only one where you're following up every statement with a knowing wink under the guise of a terrible punchline.

I think Rygaron might be spot-on here

Sometimes it's funny but you have to wade through an awful lot of "My Dad Shot Himself, So My Ovaries Broke" to get there.

That's the thing, though. I'd like there to be more conflict and fun drama, but Jacques' idea of shaking things up is one angsty confession followed by thirty pages of friends consoling them, characters coming to terms and returning to the routine. He's terrified to change things too much.

As a result, it's not particularly funny or interesting, but it is comfortable. It's a pleasant read.

Plus, it's yet another unfunny gamer webcomic.

QC is really more realistic in the sense that people don't hang out with people they hate, or endure a childish attention-span-deprieved frat boy just because it's funny. It's a half dozen people that have a basic understanding and respect of each other like most regular relationships.

I think the only comic that portrays realistic abrasive relationships is Achewood. YOU ARE TERRIBLE TODD GO AWAY

I'm a sucker for comics that don't go anywhere (as long as they don't feel like they're trying and failing to go somewhere) or depict anything other than not-completely-obnoxious characters being characterized at each other. I have no expectations for it, so I am never disappointed. It's worth the 150 seconds per week it takes to come up in my RSS aggregator.

 :nyoro~n: I am game for his crooked jaw, and for the jaws of Death too, Laser Ahab, if it fairly comes in the way of the business we follow; but I came here to hunt lava-whales, not my commander's vengeance. How many space-barrels will thy vengeance yield thee even if thou gettest it, Laser Ahab? It will not fetch thee much in our NeoNantucket market.

 :over9000: NeoNantucket market! Hoot! But come closer, Starbuck; thou requirest a little lower layer. If lavabucks' to be the measurer, man, and the accountants have computed their great counting-house the Undersphere, by girdling it with guineas, one to every three parts of an inch; then, let me tell thee, that my vengeance will fetch a great premium in the flaming cockles of my heart!

 :rage: Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee!

Alright I'm still inexplicably reading this thing. It hasn't gotten any better. I should probably stop I guess but IN ANY EVENT, an unexpected and amazing guest strip from Dinosaur Comic's Ryan North showed up!
