    Mr. Gadzikowski, I have to give you credit: when I started reading today's comic (http://www.arthurkingoftimeandspace.com/2810.htm) I wondered who that character was that Guenevere was talking to.

    When I realized that it wasn't so much a "who" it was, but a "what", I was greatly amused :)

    Irregular Webcomic: You Didn't Tell Me You Were Going to Kill It!
    So after nine years, the most inappropriately named webcomic out there has finally come to an end.

    Forgive the Peanuts reference but it seemed appropriate.

    Current Sluggy jokes in "Safehouse"
    So, Torg and Co. are holed up in a safehouse. They have discovered "MyFace" and "Bleat" (Myspace and Twitter).

    So topical!

    Technical Difficulties
    I am about at my wits end trying to figure this out, so I thought I'd turn to the Snarkoleptics community to see if anyone else is experiencing this problem or knows how to fix it.

    Basically, I cannot, at all, in any way shape or form, get to new.websnark.com. If I try and load it up, it gives me an error. It doesn't matter if I'm using firefox or IE, it still comes back as a dead link. I can access the cached version of the website through Google, and I can somehow get back to a few older articles, but nothing current.

    Basically, I get the feed via LJ, click on a link and get a non-page. Anyone have any idea how or why this is happening, and better yet, how to fix it? Now that they're updating again, I really hate missing out on the full articles... :}

    Batman's weakness: being a loser. I think Wonderella has a point.

    Sex, Relationships and High School
    If there is one thing about Campbell's works, it's how unvarnished his webcomics are. I point to the latest episode in the webcomic version of Degrassi High School: Penny and Aggie as an example. The two headline girls, finally have sex without being caught by either of their parents. But it just seems to me to be rather unromantic. Penny, for instance, heavily flirts with Aggie while helping her pick out garments from where she works over the summer. Twice, the couple wrestle with Aggie noting in the second time that she felt that Penny got some thrill out of it. But neither girl seems to be satisfied by the sex or the relationship even though both have warmed up to it. Even the Archie-like kiss seemed to be forced in a way. Even the first time they tried to have sex and the talk they had with both parents seem rather...odd.

    Other relationships seem to be falling apart or just plain weird. Sara is falling apart. Jack and Katy-Ann enjoyed themselves in a round of mutual masturbation that just seems to be out of either one's character (Jack would have gone all the way and Katy-Ann wouldn't have gone at all.) The lone "friends with benefits" couple, Lisa and Stan, seems to be the happiest.

    If Campbell was trying to present how uncomfortable growing up is, he certainly succeeded. It's not as suave as the Gunnerkrigg Court group where there is an comfortably and ease with the teens even when they have some difficulties with their own relationships.

    And I'm not saying this is a bad thing of Campbell. There is a compelling element to Penny & Aggie's characters' struggles as there is a compelling element to the ease and fantasies of Gunnerkrigg Court's characters. It makes it difficult to watch the carnage, however. He's good with train wrecks.

    Shaenon Garrity of the Narbonic and Skin Horse webcomics is running a two-part science fiction story in Strange Horizons webzine. (No pictures so a little off-topic here, but felt like it needed a shout.)

     Sometimes I wish Scott Kurtz would just abandon PvP and just work on LOLbat full time. Last week's retro edition was just perfect.

    Unrequited Glub - Threadless T-shirts, Nude No More
    Hey y'all!

    You guys may remember me as "Kate Sith" from the Websnark blog - occasional commenter, artist (I did that first Leather drawing), etc.

    Hopefully this isn't too gauche, but I have a design up for scoring on Threadless and was hoping y'all might be able to help me out and boost the signal a bit. I 've been posting it everywhere that it might be remotely reasonable to do so. (And if it helps make it more relevant, I've given it the Dinosaur Comics treatment <a href="http://ktjayne.imgur.com/glub">here</a> when I was trying to mix up the images used to plug it.)

    Scoring ends at the end of the day tomorrow and I'd like to get somewhere above a 2.5 (maybe a 2.7? a 3?) and to do that I'd need at least a hundred people to score it a 5. Also hitting "I'd buy it!" (not an obligation to buy) and commenting, sharing (via the Like/tweet/stumble buttons), etc. will also be a huge help.

    Thanks, guys!

    Snarkolia's Most Wanted (Fugitives From Justice)
    Just wanted to get more perspectives on a theme.

    What characters in webcomics today are fugitives from justice?

    Three off the top of my head are Kharisma Valetti (with Fluffmodeus in tow) in Something*Positive, Blaine O'Malley in Shortpacked! and the entire crew of the starship Outcast in Angels2200.

    Recent webcomic finds...
    What with one thing and another (especially looking at bidders on WLP's ad space), I've noticed some webcomics that had, up to now, escaped my notice.

    Crazyghost Comics - Well... boob jokes. And that's pretty much it. But I like it anyway. It's in my "Trial Basis" folder, and I've run some ads there... and will run ads for Secret Project Coming Jan. 1.

    Three Panel Soul - I'm... not decided one way or the other yet on this one. But it intrigues me. Also in my Trial Basis folder.

    Atomic Laundromat - THIS one, on the other hand, went STRAIGHT to my regular read (M-W-F) list. Superheroes as I think they should be done, i. e. mocked mercilessly. Plus EXCELLENT artwork. Unlike the other two, which I'm still a bit waffly on, I wholeheartedly recommend, without reservation, this webcomic. READ IT.

    Brief Thoughts
    1.  I'm getting used to webcomic's merchandise be seen in mainstream movies, especially Diesel Sweetie. However, apparently, Kate Beaton's Fat Pony is getting a shout-out of sorts on Cartoon Network's Adventure Time. I'm waiting for the next big step: a major motion picture movie based off of a webcomic. 
    2. I love Tweep. It's somewhat a rather subtle comedy that is wonderfully drawn and is a nice alternative to Questionable Content. Currently the story line is about a competition between two introverts for a position with Brew You. My mind has the He's Going the Distance song playing as these two battle it out. And well, it also has a bunny mascot.
    3. The other webcomic that I'm loving a lot is Ginger's Bread. Not quite as well drawn, it does have a pretty well-developed storyline and the characters. It's basically about a girl name Ginger, who when decides to go into business for herself with her über skills as a baker.
    4. So, the latest chapter of Gunnerkrigg Court is an emotional pendulum swinging from love to hate, fear and loathing, and everything else inbetween. I'm emotionally tired just reading the chapter, but is a marvel to view. Tom Siddell should be on some short list for the best drawn web-comic. (Please let Kat hit Antimony with a clue by four.)
    5. I really need to find new webomics to read. Anyone have any recommendation for a webcomic which has just been online in the past year?

    Digger 10/14, Go Ed Go!
    As was pointed out by [info]ursulav most of the readers saw this moment coming a mile off. But as one commenter on the page said, it's still worth a very loud HELL YEAH!

    Random Rant
    Right now I'm not going to make a lot of friends. Truth is I will evidently piss a lot of people off by saying this, I expect it, and I've got a nice thick piece of metal covering my ass-end to protect from the feet that will come seeking my rear.

    Now there are a lot of Comic artists and writers who make a living off their site(s) now. When I first came into online web-comics back in 2001 it was unheard of. That is until the "bet" heard round the world-wide-web by our favorite artist/writer Randall Milholland hit his homepage. Now in 2010 it's a rare sight to see a writer/artist who isn't at least making a small profit for their efforts. While they aren't all living off what they make from their work a great deal of them are, in effect, living the dream.

    This, sadly, is where my annoyance starts to kick in. It is a joke in my opinion that there are so many comics who make their creators so much money and yet... They never update. I'm not talking about, "Oh they update just once a week, those bastards!" No, I mean never. As in their updates are not days, weeks, or even a month apart, but months. Sometimes a couple, sometimes a few, and sometimes... Several months between updates.

    To me it's not a matter of "Post moar." It's also not a matter of entitlement on my part. It simply irks my senses because there are so many better series that update regular, their creators are interactive with their fanbase, and yet they don't get a fraction of the following as these other lame-duck sites do.

    Ce la ve, such is life, and all that jazz. It's just something I had to get off my chest and was curious if anyone else shared this annoyance.

    Oh, but oh for a wish Eric to roust and snark upon this...
    ... surely the finest parody of the Three Laws of Robotics ever. I adore this. I adore it. I adore it. 

    (And yes, I'm a bit late to the snarking here, but Freefall is in my Enthusiastically Reading/Sporadically Checked combo.)
