So once again there is drama in the fandom again and once again I'm on the sidelines.

I really don't want to be drawn into it, because A)I feel split down the middle B) Fandom Drama makes Greg Weisman cry and C) I'm Cramping! I was nearly in tears earlier today it hurt so much.

Instead I'm going to divert everyone's attention and praise the great work of Pete Abrams.

Holy shit Sluggy Freelance has been on fire recently. It's always been a great comic, but it hit a new stride with That Which Redeems and the Oceans Unmoving epics.

and his latest Wayang Kulit is not only great story like with a metaphysical turn into the Torg's Psyche but the art work has been amazing. HOLY FACKING SHEET that rocked.

Go read it. http://www.sluggy.com and yes if you are new it may take a while to get through the whole saga, but it's worth it.

Should I be glad that I never touched Gargoyles fandom outside my own circle of sane offline friends? *clutches her season 2 boxset protectively*

[spacebabie.livejournal.com]

It has it's highs and lows. It is no where as close to being insane as other fandoms *CoughHarryPottercough*

[dorknessrising.livejournal.com]

That's good to know. I think if Gargs ever got to be Harry Potter's kid brother, I'd likely cry. Or at the very least cover myself in garlic powder and brandish a wooden stake.

What is with the fandom lately? Is there like..a permanent full moon or something?

[spacebabie.livejournal.com]

It does seem that way.

Yay! Another Sluggy Freelance reader! I'm absolutely loving Wayang Kulit. I also loved "The Bug, The Witch and the Robot," Fire & Rain, That Which Redeems, and Oceans Unmoving. Man, I can't wait for the next strip... is it midnight yet?

[kimberly-t.livejournal.com]

New strip is online now, yay! Also, check my response to spacebabie for other webcomics I highly recommend.

[spacebabie.livejournal.com]

Yup it's online.

Sing with me now. "The Internet is for porn."

great webcomics

Oh yeah, Sluggy is great! I discovered it about a month ago and just read nonstop, every chance I could get, for over a week until I got through the archives. (Couldn't have done it at all without the week-by-week option, and as it was I just about burned out my eyeballs. But WOW! So worth it.)

"That Which Redeems" actually made me cry; I really shed a few tears, when alt-Zoe was killed. A webcomic made me cry. THAT is TALENT. And "Oceans Unmoving"... AAAGH, what will it take to get Mr. Abrams to put Part III out on the web? So a few people complained that this one storyline moved too slowly; so what? Dammit, I wanna find out what happens next!

I have a few other favorite daily/3x-weekly webcomics:


http://www.brunothebandit.com/ The Web's most loveable anti-hero! And in between the bouts of laughter, you often find something to really think about.
http://www.kevinandkell.com/ I mentioned this one in my third Mating Games story. What would a Furry world really be like? Read and find out!
http://www.schlockmercenary.com/ These people would LOVE Bun-bun and Co. 'nuff said.
All three of these comics all have archives you can read through from the beginning, and mix tremendously long storylines with daily/frequent gags.

http://www.somethingpositive.net/ Sarcasm abounds. Otherwise hard to describe, this one's like beef jerky; you either love it or you hate it. Updated not regularly but frequently. Also has archives for perusing.

This is where I got the current icon from. Love it, love it, love it! My favorite, hands down and feet tied. Start with the "101 Class", which reprints the first dead-tree comics online and indeed has an archive going back to the beginning. However, you'll either have have to wait about eight months before the 101 class catches up to where the "Advanced Class" of the current adventures begins, or break down and buy some of the comics in order to to catch up with the Advanced Class.

Except for the first month's worth of strips, the archives are available only by subscription to an online comics organization called Modern Tales. So it's hard to get into... but once you do, man, it's addicting!

Revel reads Schlockmercenry.

We also read http://www.machall.com and http://www.vgcats.com

I also read Get Fuzzy daily online since we don't get a daily paper.

How's this? Whipped it up from the May 7th comic. If you like it, snag it and save to your desktop for later; I probably won't keep it long.

[spacebabie.livejournal.com]

Squee!


I saved that comic to my archive and set my swcreen saver to my pictures.
