  • And that is what happens when you have an update schedule of once every 15 minutes.
  • And then you have homestuck where THE PEOPLE DON'T HAVE ANY FUCKING ARMS

    Man, Homestuck isn't even in the same category as normal webcomics. 

    Comparing actual pages and actual schedules to Hussie's 'push them out the door' tactics is like comparing firearms to a flamethrower. 

    And that is what happens when you have an update schedule of once every 15 minutes.

    I think that would actually be SBAHJ

    Also the opening notes of most minor scales (step-wise, not note-wise).

    Powerup Comics is one of the most glorious things on the internet, but not for the reasons Shadow and Chug intended.

    Apparently a certain acquaintance of mine was involved in Powerup Comics. He is very good at making very bad things.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    is Powerup Comics supposed to be for real or is it parody

    Totes a parody. 

    Of Ctrl-Alt-Del in particular.

    The alleged authors, Shadow and Chug, are completely fictional personas. Who showed up as minor characters in Unwinder's Tall Comics some years later.

    The intention was to create something utterly repugnant in basically every way. They succeeded nicely.

    Insidious was a good horror movie.

    Is it weird that I'm excited to see the sequel because I've heard it's an utter travesty?
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    Not really. Badness can be fun, after all.
  • My dreams exceed my real life
    The past few years  have been the renaissance of the creepy child, but I find that creepy old people are creepier.
  • I want my laptop back darnit
  • Holy shit why don't I have a job yet

    Points: Poppy updates twice a week and is gorgeous, but that's because Morbi tends to spend weeks ahead of time slaving over pages. xkcd is weird because it includes really nice detail in a stick figure comic. Homestuck screws up the scale because Andrew Hussie can draw brilliantly but generally goes for stylisation, simplicity and medium breaking over conventional technical detail.

    It is!

    I want to draw my fiction as comics and the thing is that I can draw, but repeating figures is a bitch for me in every way so I'm afraid to even try...

    Me, too.

    I mean, I know the answer, and that answer is depressing, but that doesn't mean I don't ask.

    They were frighteningly thorough about it, too. They reasoned that the only thing worse than bad art, was inexplicably popular bad art. So, after uploading comics to Drunk Duck, they posed as fans of the comic and got into arguments with people who weren't in on the joke. The resulting controversy actually made Powerup Comics the most-viewed comic on Drunk Duck for a short period, earning an automatically generated place on the site's front page.

    Like I said, it's firearms to a flamethrower. Technically, they do the same thing (kill stuff dead), but the principles behind them are completely different (putting holes in things vs burning them to death)

    XKCD's tricky. You can go from two stick figures with text above them to, well, that one comic that had unclear spatial boundaries. The one that can be dragged. You know the one.

    For once, or maybe twice, I was in my prime.
    Art quality versus update frequency: Gunnerkrigg Court started off good (the early chapters where Annie's head was shaped like a hand egg aren't everyone's cuppa tea, but I don't mind that design, and even then the scenery was nice and the use of color to set a mood was top-notch) and updated twice per week. Then it got better, and switched to updating three times a week.

    This was achieved by Tom Siddell reducing his life outside the comic and his job to the absolute minimum. And even later, quitting the job to comic full-time.

    Of course, Siddell's ruthless dissatisfaction with his own work pushed him to improve, as well.

    “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    ^ Also true.

    On that note, goodnight and good luck, friends and comrades.

    This is an absolute classic.
