Webcomics
No, I don't have one. I'm not going to try and push my internet presence on you any more than I already do through
this blog
my facebook
my twitter
my tumblr
my youtube channel
my flickr
and so on
(sorry about that)
and while I do possess some artistic talent, I've never had the drive to try and translate my glorious witticisms and knee-slapping one-liners into some sort of amazing online artistic brilliance. I like to think it's laziness, but I'm not sure.
Regardless, here are some examples of webcomics that I currently follow and you should too if you have any sense of humor at all:
xkcd Generally I like my webcomics to be nonlinear, I spend enough of my time trying to remember all the day-to-day things that happen in my life and if I forget to read it for a week (or several) it feels less like fun and more like hanging out with your mom (I kid, I'm sure she's a very nice lady).
Penny Arcade Is definitely the webcomic I've been reading the longest -early 2000's wut wut- mostly because it's about video games and n3rd culture, but also because if you get what they're talking about it's blindingly funny. I'm also super proud of these two dudes, Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins, for transforming what started out as a hobby into a convention, a children's charity and two video games. Seriously talented individuals!
ALSO:
I couldn't pick a particular comic, but have you checked out Sean Ward's Super Party? (as well as his other work). Dude is seriously talented and deserves your praise -just saying.
Moving on:
Hark a Vagrant has to be my hands-down favourite webcomic ever. Kate Beaton is an absolute genius, and her comics range from history (mostly Canadian, but not always) to literature, to politics, to whatever. If you aren't reading her stuff, then wtf?
Okay I'll be up front with you guys, Rusted Out Rowboat is a "horribly un-funny webcomic" that Ty used to make and the sole purpose of this entire post in which I shared some of my favourite things with you was to passive-aggressively harass him into making more.
Sorry for abusing your readership guys like that, please forgive me.
And if you're okay with the fact that I had an ulterior purpose for this post, feel free to suggest any websomics you read. Please, that way I'll know you're not mad at me for wasting your time ;)
