Webcomics Blogging

Time for some rapid-fire webcomics blogging...Please do not leave the ride until it has come to a complete stop. Anthropic is not responsible for lost or stollen items.

I can't wait to see what the folks at Websnark have to say about the latest developments at Something Positive. Wow.

In other news, Penny Arcade's "Tycho" is now a father and reminds us that he writes unlike any other living human being. It's like if William S. Burroughs was raised on videogames and stayed away from the drugs. Today's comic, by the way, includes the ever-enjoyable Fruit Fucker and cranberries. You know you want to click. Just do it. Do it.

Megatokyo is finally about something, which is something of a surprise. As you may remember Megatokyo has been criticized in the past for being something of an American Otaku fantasy...Here anti-social Piro is surround by a bevy of females in the society of his dreams. But now, we're being introduced to the darker side of fanboyism, and Piro (the character, not the writer) is now forced to see the fans as a threat to someone he cares for. Quite an interesting turnaround. In other news, today's "Dead Piro Day" comic marks the reappearence of "ph34r t3h cut3 on3s", which is always a treat.

Bounty hunters? We don't need their scum.

Ye gads, are these new comics I see up at Instant Classic? Shocking! I always hate it when Instant Classic just sits there for weeks/months on end with no updates. Brian Carrol obviously has a knack for creating webcomics, but he could go from making good comics to making great comics if he updated regularly.

If you haven't been reading Perry Bible Fellowship, you really should start. It's consistantly sick, twisted, and utterly hillarious. PBF is the sort of thing we should strap on outbound space probes so that a billion years from now aliens can find these strange creations and ponder what strange creatures could create such things.

Next Monday will mark the 500th Questionable Content comic. QC is probably the best exanple of why online comics will alwasy be better than newspaper comics. It's the ultimate long tail comic...Obscure indie rock references, X-rated mothers, mischevious robots, cute girls, Coffee of Doom...This soft of thing only works online where the author creates exactly the content he wants and the audience finds the comic on their own.

In case you didn't know, Ctrl-Alt-Delete is a pale imitation of Penny-Arcade.

I am consistantly amazed by the way David Wright can create the sacharine cute Todd and Penguin and the stark satire Taking Up Space at the same time.

Starslip Crisis is introducing us to Hardware Pirates... Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrr...

Gossamer Commons is shaping up nicely. Hehehehe...A Viceroy of Cul-De-Sacs. It's kinda sad to see Greg Holkan leaving, but I'm sure Eric Burns has done an excellent job picking the new artist.

That is all. You are dismissed.
