Least I Could Do is the platonic ideal of douchebro-ism (I think; I only visited it once, and I quickly left, burning down that browser tab behind me). And in the comic posted at the top, the author avatar (I think) is quoting John Galt's entire (I think) speech from Atlas Shrugged, the platonic ideal of author filibusters. It's the sort of thing that someone would joke about, as a parody of Walls Of Text in bad comics, not the sort of thing you'd expect someone to actually do.
so it's just this dude, who is a ripoff of a probably much better character (I have never seen American Dragon Jake Long) talking about....stuff? For panels on end?
I've only caught random strips of this here and there, but they gave the impression that the comic was generally more entertaining than...any of that.
It's actually technically a soapbox disguised as a comic wrapped up with christmas bows for you to look at so they can pretend it's not a soapbox but a christmas gift.
Setting aside the parody at the top of the page, I have heard that Least I Could Do has gotten progressively worse over the years in its feeble attempts to be "mature."
Incidentally, what little I've read of Looking for Group (written by the same guy in collaboration with some other dude) is actually decent, if not really my thing.
In terms of the writing, i consider it inferior to The Order of the Stick, which has a similar premise and similar sense of humour.
The art is decent, though.
As if the quality of the art really makes up for other lacking qualities.
OotS proves through story alone that you don't need fancy 1080p to make a compelling product, and I even though it is a fair judgment, I dislike you bringing it up in the same vein as LFG.

LFG is alright...
Kinda lingering on for longer than it should, pacing wise. If it addressed a few unanswered questions earlier on, there where two places the comic could have concluded.

OotS is far, far better out of the two, but the premise is similar and both employ dark humour frequently
i don't mean to suggest that the two are on anything close to the same footing
