ITT we remember webcomics of years past, dead or otherwise.
Up and died with no conclusion or word from author.
>Applegeeks
>Mystic Revolution
>>83747492
the applegeeks writer is part of the couple who does johnny wander
I'm like 90% sure the artist went on to do three panel soul
>>83747574
wait no, I was thinking of mac hall, my bad
I have no idea what happened to the applegeeks artist
Still so bitter over HINABN
I really loved the series and loved the art, and it was such a damn disappointment to find out what a twat the author was, such a bullshit thing to do the fandom and the publisher, and never one word of apology.
It sucks when people whose work you greatly admire turn out to be spineless douches
Real Life. Haven't read it in years, went to go check on it recently and found out it hasn't updated since December, and there hasn't been a news update since April.
Also, The Last Nerds on Earth was pretty nice, though it's a good example of why you shouldn't let your girlfriend be your artist unless you're 100^ positive you're going to marry her.
>>83748074
I fucking loved that comic. There still hasn't been an apology after all these years?
Mall Monkeys
any webcomic that used sprites
>>83748074
What happened with it?
>>83748202
No, after playing dead for some years Stone just started a new project like nothing and is now gushing about how woooonderful her fans are omg thanks guys I love you all and your attention thanks for reading you're all fantastic, pls support me on patreon - similarly to how she acted about HINABN and it's fans before suddenly dropping off the face of the planet.
Boxer Hockey. I haven't read it in a couple of years but I just found out it's been on hiatus for quite a while.
>>83748363
Wouldn't be surprised if it happens again.
okay maybe one of you guys can answer me, what ever happen to Third Wish and Your Half?
Under the category of "It's shit, but I love it", Lesbian Mystery Club.
Goddamn it, it stopped just when something interesting was about to happen.
>>83748363
>>83748452
Okay, I looked HiNaBN up and I couldn't find any specific drama anons are referring to, but I just some vague notes about how at some point she stopped updating the comic.
Was there something else I'm missing, or was that it?
>>83748284
The author courted fan attention and encouraged shipping, the comic was full of sexy lanky men and so the fanbase grew exponentially, she got a professional publishing deal and had a book printed - and then just suddenly got bored with the project and went dead. No explanation ever, no nothing. The publisher got a bad rep because they'd sold some "special edition" books in which she was supposed to doodle, which she refused to do. As there was zero explanation and Stone apparently forbade the publisher to talk about things either, her total, sudden, mysterious disappearance sparked a lot of rumours - she's dead, she's in the hospital, her publisher is blackmailing her to not draw any more (wat) etc. It was especially nasty for the small indie publisher who had to face a lot of nasty rumours about them and had to reimburse people for their "special edition" books they obviously weren't getting despite having already paid.
People were legit worried, sending frantic messages, begging for some sign of life or explanation, and some even sent her irl telegrams, "tessagrams", if I've understood correctly, but yeah people were trying to contact her on deviantart, through the comic site, and so forth.
However, there was never any explanation, never anything. Finally someone tracked down her sister at a con and she admitted that there's nothing wrong with Stone, no hospital, no lawsuit, she just didn't feel like dealing with the project any more and just dropped everything. Turns out HINABN was the 3rd webcomic she's similarly dropped out of the blue, never addressing or explaining the past projects in any way.
After several years of playing dead w total radio silence, she suddenly did a collaboration with the Johnny Wander folks, and is now doing a new webcomic, courting fan attention and interacting and gushing just like in the beginning with HINABN. Never any explanation. No "I'm alive but can't continue the comic, sorry", nothing. Pretty shitty.
>>83748633
That's pretty fucked up
>>83748633
>third comic she's dropped
Why am I not surprised?
>>83748633
Jesus. I didn't even like the comic that much and this makes me mad.
You'd think that if people were legitimately thinking you might be dead, you'd at least have the decency to put a "This comic will no longer update" notice somewhere like most webcomics do when they discontinue. Even if you don't want to give a specific explanation, it's better than nothing.
The fact that she had a publishing deal and did this twice before this incident is what really makes it shitty though. She sounds like a complete flake.
>>83747468
I wish I'd saved art fr Twisted Kaiju Theater's kaiju girl gallery before shin goji purged it
If you want to read a good webcomic and one that is complete and finished.
http://www.venisproductions.com/angelmoxie/index.php
>>83748855
Yeah exactly. I was following the comic, and I remember the waning hope and the growing worry in the fandom when there'd been no update for a week, a month, two months, four, six, a year, two... I can understand having a nervous breakdown or whatever or not being able to go on because you can't cope, but holy shit let people know.
Especially after you've spent time interacting with your fans, creating this special "ooh I love you all so much thanks dears I'm lucky to have such fans <3 <3 <3 eee" kind of intimate special community feel - people were happy that their fave webcomic was breaking through and were so thrilled for you - and you see people get actually legit worried over your health, at least fucking tell them (or authorise someone else to make a statement) that you're alive and ok, just that unfortunately the comic is on permahiatus but thanks all it was a good run or whatever. Even just a few words, some acknowledgement.
But several years, YEARS of total silence, while fans are still faithfully leaving "happy birthday I hope you're well wherever you are" messages on the deviantart, that's fucking cold. And after all that super cute gushing about how much she looooooves her fans, I'm still mad when I remember it, how a lot of the fans kept believing that there has to be some explanation, that she wouldn't just abandon them like that.
Salty as fuck, yes.
And of course also it's such a shit trick to pull on the publisher.
>>83749152
I really hope she doesn't pull that shit again (for the fourth time.) She and other artists have been given so many chances and shown their flaky and suspicious behavior time and time again. How are they not black balled in the webcomic scene?
I'm as confused as to why this is still going as you are.
http://stardroids.net/wordpress/
man. has it really been that long since that edgy X vs Zero story
>>83747468
I still miss it.
Whatever happened to it?
>>83747468
>>83751090
That was actually great.
Dude somehow managed to get away with a kickstarter too.
>>83751116
Yeah. I loved it a lot. I think he had other obligations.
But that was a damn good parody though.
>>83751160
Did he ever do anything else?
Just did a quick google and it looks like he dropped of the face of the planet.
>>83751211
I don't think so anon. Outside of this he was a piano player, and I think other stuff like other comics might've gotten to him too. It sure feels like he disappeared though.
>>83751036
the "artist" went emo and butthurt when people told him that he didn't have a "artist block", that he's just fat and lazy and should be ashamed of baiting people with empty promises to get people to give him money.
It wasn't the funniest. It didn't have the best art. Looking back, it wasn't even that great.
But back then, it was the highlight of my day for a new strip to pop up.
I'm sad it's over but at least the artist was honest about wanting to quit it. This webcomic actually felt like I was watching a late 90s cartoon and I haven't gotten that feeling from any other.
>>83751501
>It wasn't even that great.
You shut your whore mouth.
>>83747602
Occasionally he draws strips for The Gutters, which is kind of a bummer.
>>83747468
>replaying metroid prime trilogy
>remember zebeth, metroid with a twist
>kabutroid got divorced and became a transperson
Be yourself and be happy I guess.Wake me up inside.
I still hold onto the vague hope that this will update again.
>>83748633
Wow what a fucking dick
These people are webcomic readers there used to authors getting bored but give them some kind of explanation she can't possibly have failed to notice all the concern
>>83751036
MT? It's still updating. 17 updates since December 13th, woo.
I actually bought and read those spin off novels they're producing thanks to a bout of morbid curiosity. They're mediocre and sort of pointless in exactly the way you'd expect.
Staccato
Just talking about it makes me mad, it was slice of life, had the most basic art and the characters where one sided including the talking basketball, but fuck you I want to see what comes next
>RPG World
I'm still mad. At least Ian J has made some money off SU.
I miss the fuck out of Elf Only Inn. Went through a lot of transitions, but always managed to be entertaining.
>>83753716
I seem to remember he was trying to transition to being a "real" artist / illustrator and kept putting the comic on the backburner because his real job was eating up too much of his time.
I still remember a fuckton of comics that are so dead i have nothing to show you. no archived images, nothing.
>Trilokan
>usr.bin.w00t
>I heart disappointment
>Sunflower Girl / Less Than Kate
>What I Learned Today
>Slackers
>Once Bitten
>Dreamleak
>Bear and Kitten (well, some of it's archived but not the ones i wanna share, that era is missing)
>QuestsYeah
and some that are still available to go read, like The Princess Planet, WIGU, and Some Battling Monsters, that nonetheless i almost never think about anymore... because they just... went away. finished or whatever.
I'm not sure why I love it so much. The jokes almost all amount to "These guys are animals.", the stories aren't interesting, and the whole thing is flat and unoffensive, but for some reason, this is one of my favorite webcomics. It's just so simple that I can relax and read a few strips without being bothered by the world around me.
I miss it, /co/.
>>83749685
Hey, at least it's not kevin and kell.
I will always miss 8-Bit Theater. I know it's over and it ended beautifully. It was my first webcomic when I first started browsing the internet and, of all the stupid shit I thought was funny when I was a kid, it's the only one that has still remained funny to me.
>>83758434
clev's a hell of a writer
>>83749088
I remember that one. He went on to create Weesh, which I still read occasionally. It's one of the best Calvin and Hobbes clones out there.
I'm sure she'll finish it someday.
>>83758642
Nope
Too busy boring people to death with Cucumber Quest
>>83747468
I use to follow this webcomic. Not sure what's going on now, I think the author is sick, or tired, or something.
Also if anyone knows a webcomic about this furry creature who travels a fantasy land with an elf and a thief, it would be appreciated, since the title is lost on me.
I just remember the furry creature looks like a brown goat and gets discriminated by other races.
Anybody remember Building 12? That thing Chris did before Misfile? I don't remember too much other than it looked much the same as Misfile and was just as dumb, but an entertaining kind of dumb.
Speaking of, apparently Misfile is still going, holy shit.
>>83748074
Much preferred one she worked on earlier with her sister - Lock and Key, I think?

>>83758912
Vaguely, now that you mention it.
>>83755797
oh fuck, that was fantastic.
Everyone remembers Digger, right?
http://diggercomic.com/blog/2007/02/01/wombat1-gnorf/
Everyone should read Digger. Other of note include:
-Drowtales
-PPG Doujinshi
-Lackaidaisy
-Pandemonium (which was apparently scrub from the web)
-Hark, a vagrant
-Stolen Generation and Sequels (you are in for a ride...)
-Oglaf
There are probably others worth mentioning, but I got nothing.
I remember being fascinated by 1/0.
There was a sprite comic called Helmeted Attack I followed as an idiot child that just vanished one day, never found out why.
Speaking of sprite comics, MS Paint Masterpieces is pretty awesome, it's like the Archie Mega Man before it existed.
And there was this cool Elder Scrolls comic called Prequel, but it hasn't updated in more than half a year. Get off /co/ and get to work, Kaz. I know you can see this.
Anyone remember the Namco comic site? Shifty Look, I think? There was some brilliant stuff in there.
>>83759275
1/0 was surprisingly good.
There was this one webcomic which was essentially a more interesting flatland, but I have never been able to find it again.
>>83759371
The only reason the website failed is because they were too stupid to have ads. For some reason they were convinced an ad-free revenue system was feasible. They had big names, some good comics, some consistent update schedules... and they put all of their money in the hopes that Hussie's joke of a visual novel would make people pay $599 for a letterman's jacket.

The VN isn't out, and probably won't be for years.
>>83748633
Don't forget that she took tons of money for the comic.
Also her sister is also an artist, one far more professional. She works for IDW and draws for transformers.

I remember this one. As unpolished as it was, I liked the art style, particularly for Red.
>>83757512
And speaking of Ian, his friend Josh Mirman had Punks and Nerds, and before that Stubble, and before that Joshbabes, which was my first webcomic. At a fortuitous time no less, because he was doing a crossover with Eight, who did Road Waffles.
Other old webcomics... Bad Boys of Computer Science, Life of Riley, Polymer City Chronicles, Adventuerers, Avalon, Bob and George, Jackie's Fridge, Living in Grey Town, Lizard, Lovaria, Mac Hall, Men in Hats, Sexy Losers/Thin H Line, Bigger than Cheeses, The Last Days of Foxhound, Errant Story, and Exploitation Now.

how can you have a webcomic run for 13 years and only be a third of the way through your plotI know the newest comic says 2010 but I remember the author having some bullshit rule of dating the comics with when they SHOULD be posted instead of whenever he actually made them.
the 10K Commotion
I don't think I enjoyed it per se, just found it interesting considering the premise of it being a DDR comicI also remember the site being hacked and taken down
What was that one furry, edgy-as-fuck yet simultaneously super christian webcomic? It looked like it was colored in with crayola markers and I'm pretty sure it opened up (or this was at least one of the earliest stories) where some guy (anthropomorphic wolf) goes to shoot up a school, dies, goes to hell, and there's this really graphic hell torture scene, and then there's this moral about how anger is a sin and you can't let sin consume you?
Anybody know what I'm talking about? It was super cringy yet super interesting/thought provoking at the same time.

Anyone remember the name of a Web comic about a out of the way, run down space station put stop, roughly equivalent to an asteroid 7-11? One of the early jokes was about how they were going to get a restaurant and it turns out to be a hot dog warmer. Later on there's a running gag about spaceships breaking down between asteroid mile markers and the planet starts to become developed. It ran for years and I can't find it again.

I still have the Double K wallpaper on my PC since the KS in 2012. The book is one of my favorite pieces on my shelf. My understanding is that he quit working on comics to pursue his music career. He's some kind of piano professor at a university in California. Would have been cool if he bothered to communicate that with us.
>>83747468
Some in pic related might be dead.
Gone with the blastwave might update again, that's what I keep telling myself.

I seem to recall the woman who did that was having near constant health / financial troubles. Probably just got too much for her, sucks too I liked that one.
>>83764723
i did
it didnt help
>>83751211
From what I understand, the whole reason Double K was stopped as a webcomic was because the artist was focusing on actual demands as an industry comic artist. Never saw anything come of it (might be looking in the wrong places, he never did say what company he was working with), but I get his reasons for kinda dropping off. Seems to happen a lot when webcomic artists go professional.
Honestly, I'm just glad we got what we got.
Poison wind was one I sorely miss. I discovered it way back in college and it was exactly the kinda comic I wanted to make myself. Really anime/FF7 derived but it was still super entertaining. Kinda like a better handling of a semi homage like the behemoth Gold Digger became.
I also still have Keychain of Creation bookmarked, too. It's just the Exalted version of Order of the Stick, but it had good pacing, actually Likeable characters (which is a huge rarity for Exalted in the first place) and hen after a few years of strips it went on super hiatus after the artist hurt his hand.
I miss the shit out of it. Even if it never comes back I'd love to see him return with something original.
Someone already mentioned Blip but Toilet Genie was really pretty and stopped around the same time, I think.

>It was especially nasty for the small indie publisher who had to face a lot of nasty rumours about them and had to reimburse people for their "special edition" books they obviously weren't getting despite having already paid.
I remember Tracy Butler of Lackadaisy cats (book published by the same idie company) had to step out and write a blog post about it, setting the record straight that it was Tessa Stone that had bailed and that it wasn't the fault of the publisher dude.
I don't understand how Stone has any credibility anymore, but apparently she does
>>83774918
fuck you, it is kewl. and old megatokyo was damn funny
unfortunately the funny writer left, and the 'muh srs' artist continued it without its heart. i mean if your comic is going to survive entirely on cute girls, they need to be a lot nakeder.
>>83775068
Megatokyo was never funny
Please someone post a funny Megatokyo comic. I'd love to see it.

Alright, is this commentary about how naively defiant kids can be, or is it an FLCL ripoff?
>>83775208
The main character, minus, is omnipotent. So it's mostly a slice of life comic about her doing whatever the hell she wants, sometimes it's cute and innocent, sometimes its disturbing.
She probably summoned that meteor herself.

>fanboys
There's a comic for this thread
>>83775449
Fanboys isn't dead it just is setting the world record for glacial updates
>>83775459
that record is held by Zelda Comic I think. maybe shared with The Lounge. Such regularly rare updates. every 9-ish months like clockwork
>>83775505
Well Fanboys has had like 2 updates in the last 3 years so if it keeps up it will win
>>83762262
Man, that scene from jordans clones perspective when the agents killed her was the most intense thing i had seen back then. I really felt bad for her.

I was always partial to the "How to speak Canadian", fucking bioware / black isle delaying NWN...
>>83763753
Huh, last I'd heard he had terminal cancer of some kind.
I loved Sexy Losers.
It's dead now, but the artist still makes comics. I don't like them as much, but he quit SL for a good reason and I can't really hold it against him.
Almost all of them are NSFW so I can post some of my favorites, but this one was always funny to me
>>83775952
Ghastly, or the Sexy Losers guy?
>>83776039
Ghastly
We've gone over the argument probably a thousand times, and I understand that the artist ultimately has the final say and the right to draw what they want -
But
Hiimsdaisy's work was infinitely better when she was making fun Persona/MGS comics, and the fact that she dropped the P4 one, despite how fun it was, will never not bother me.
And maybe it'd be different if she had a better attitude about everything, but she seems to hate the fans and hate the comics that brought in said fans. She seems to expect people to totally not be bothered by her dropped project and just slurp up her okay-but-nothing-special original thing.
Keychain of Creation. A comic about the Exalted RPG that was good enough that it got the people who actually make the game are fans of it. Artist/author has tendonitis, but has done a couple of quests over on tgchan since the comic ended though.
Not a single Looking For Group or Sinfest mention
I don't know you people
>>83774746
Starting in 06 couldn't help a comic that bad.
Could it?
I really love Stand Still Stay Silent.
The art is delicious.
Sandra and Woo was pretty good.
>>83747602
He has done a couple of those chibi plastic toys of famous comic book/movie/TV characters. Think he did a Deadpool one that was sent through Lootcrate.
>>83758568
Minus had a great run. I was upset when it ended, sure - but at least it ended where the author wanted it to end, and had a conclusion.
If it was dropped I'd have been in despair, but it got to tell its story.
Ryan seemed to have dropped off of the face of the earth, and now his site is owned by someone else and the comics are relegated to some archive.
I'll never be able to get the Minus book, and that makes me upset.
>>83748633
what a cunt.
>>83775505
Gone With The Blastwave
>>83776372
Supposedly he's working on getting his site back. I don't know if he has any prints or books left in stock though. I'm still a little sad myself. I wanted to get a couple prints of certain pages myself but I kept putting it off.
>>83747468
Did anyone here ever read It Never Rains On Monitor Hill? It was a mediocre comic about punks coming of age and it is now gone from the internet. I wish I had backed it up.
Also was surprised to see that Elftor is still up
>>83776487
>I wanted to get a couple prints of certain pages myself but I kept putting it off.
Same. I was younger/without a job back when minus was around and I never got a chance to buy a book or a print or two.
Does he have a twitter or something? If/when he gets the site back I'd love to talk to him, or at least ask if there are any books left.
>>83776133
you're not wrong. CQ is mediocre at best. I think she's angry about not living up to her previous work.
http://saiyalings.comicgenesis.com/d/20010524.html
Just remembered all the sprite comics I used to read.... Bob & George was so much fun. 8Bit Theater, and all the comics I used to read on DrunkDuck.
The Gods of Arr-Kelaan was probably one of the better if not the best thing on Drunkduck back when I used to frequent it. I wonder if ever finished?
>>83776235
Lemmie ask you something as someone who had to drop this comic because it was a whole lot of nothing happens when I caught up to where the comic was when I read it and nobody was interesting enough to want to follow.
This prologue. Does ANYTHING AT ALL COME BACK FROM THIS? It felt like I was suddenly reading another comic when it fast-forwards through the pockyclips.
>>83776803
The pace is still glacial, and I haven't actually read in a few months - I like letting things build up, especially with pace like SSSS'
I think it's worth it for the art alone, but I couldn't really answer your question
Book of Biff isn't really that funny, but this particular strip brings back good memories of hanging out as a student with the guy over the hall, looking at dumb comics at 4am. This one made us laugh til we cried.
>>83776198
>Sinfest
or how a fun harmless comic goes entirely off the rails to preach about the authors pet cause.
>>83748123
Thank God. It was fun for a few years, but it got really bad as time dragged on. Best to let it rest in peace and remember the good times.
>>83776866
Reminded me of this webcomic I used to read, but I forget the name.
The guy had a similar style, and he made the original comic of the man coming into his son's room, and he cries "no dad, no!"
Anyone remember what it was?
>>83776927
He really should have ended Sinfest and started another comic. It's not even recognizable at this point.
>>83776927
I'm glad I forgot to keep up on Sinfest just prior to the author's descent into madness
Now I just laugh at the strips people post here
>>83758568
Came into the thread to post this.
Thank you.
>>83776034
what good reason? i mean he slowed down when he hurt his hand but then he quit for reasons i dont recall
then he came back and turned all apologetic for the 'offensive' content, the kind of attitude he used to lampoon
>>83777320
>then he came back and turned all apologetic for the 'offensive' content, the kind of attitude he used to lampoon
He was harassed at work and by an ex-long time girlfriend, and had near legal problems as well for people stumbling along on his work (or using them for blackmail, in the case of his ex). On top of that he paid a lot out of pocket for hosting the site. At some point he felt like he couldn't be proud of his own work/use it in a portfolio/tell people about it because they'd judge him/it very hard the few times he tried that. Having struggled with depression, things only got worse for him and he decided that the comic wasn't worth his job/relationships/money/etc.
Then he quit for a while, and then he made Depression Comix.
>>83759250
Did I just see someone recommend Drowtales? I still remember reading it back in like, 1999 and thinking what a clusterfuck it was. Has something huge changed since then?
>>83776803
I'm not sure what you're expecting from the prologue. It's events are set 90 years prior to the comic proper so no, none of the events that transpired are going to directly impact the story. It's there to set up the world and show the days leading to The End as well as introduce you to the families of the main characters. Every major character in the prologue is the direct ancestor to the people in the cat-tank now.
>>83775952
i knew he was sick, i didnt know it was THAT bad
>>83764427
Man I used to love Bruno the Bandit. Dunno why it just fell off the radar for me.
>>83777418
Yeah i guess i understand. still grinds my gears though. artists are supposed to be lonely and detached from other people who don't get it.
>>83777420
>thinking I am recommending them
>not noticing PPG doujinshi and stolen generation, thus clearly making that list not be recommendation
Speaking of minus., does anyone know why the big MEGA posted a few months ago is gone now? I just found an archive thread from January with the whole collection, but using the link shows that the MEGA was taken down
Blaster Nation might as well be dead
Getting shunted to one day a week updates because Brad and Leslie got snagled back into Slipshine and are focusing on The Rock Cocks
I mean, I still love Brad and Leslie and want them to be successful, and Rock Cocks isn't bad, but I thought they set up their patreon so that they could get AWAY from Slipshine's demands on their time so they could work on their own two comics full time
>>83776202
hard to say, I was in between series in 06
but I think I get better over time...
>>83776178
That comic was good shit.
>>83776198
LFG was bad and YOU are bad.
Sinfest... we all know what befell it.
>>83777579
i've noticed a lot of that too. people get successfully funded and then get lazier / "busier"
it's like how animation made the jump to digital, but complaints about how expensive it is to do quality only increased. surely not having to physically lay a cel down onto little hooks 20 times per second would save them a few bucks
>>83762521
what I've allways liked about webcomics is when authors go for a manga style and end up with poorly drawn anime shit but it still have much individuality and soul that average manga
>>83777579
it turned all issue-y anyway.
still i feel for brad n' leslie. they wanted a fun casual comic about real people with occasional casual nudity, and advertisers are like NO. YOU WILL MAKE NO MONEY ON A COMIC WITH A NIPPLE
so then they had to just do straight up porn.. which is great, but.. then there's a bunch of other shitty aspects of that business
>>83777534
It's 4chan man, I just assumed you were insane.
RIP dr comet
Anybody have an archive for Punks & Nerds? Had a hankering to re-read it last week, but the OG comics are gone and all that's left now is some later version of the series.
>>83777625
the unfortunate thing is how often people bitch at them for the manga style, so they try to do literally its opposite
but their attempt at that is hamhanded, so all they do is shrink eyes, enlarge noses, move mouths around to weird places.. and think 'yeahhh i'm better now!' and you are not. lookin at you misfile.

Nope.

That explained everything quite nicely.
I assumed it was a social commentary of "Be he who tries but fails when everyone else fails to try."
I got my TTGL juices flowing the first time I saw it.

I'd have preferred that over what's actually happening, which is Minus is putting millions of people at risk for shits and giggles, as per standard in the comic.
What a bitch.
>>83778194

Zelda Comic ended in 2014
>>83778660
pretty believable
but nowadays it's the kids they'd make invisible. also to themselves. so they were never warped by seeing naked childrens
but theyd still hand them out condoms so they could have the indiscriminate sex that "is going to happen anyway"
>>83778713
yep, but before that it had weirdly consistent updates like a year apart
>>83777664
what happened to doctor comet? And isn't that still on going?
>>83777723
>>83778101
Wait, seriously?
Dummcomics has had several that are no more for various reasons.
- Skadi (properly ended; creator needed to focus on her other work)
- 1930 Nightmare Theatre (interrupted; creator got too depressed to work, then committed suicide)
- Frog Raccoon Strawberry (quickly ended; creators got a proper job)
- Wicked Wickle (interrupted; creator got a promotion and had to work)
- Life in the Analog Age (creator turned the webcomic into a badly animated cartoon linked from YouTube, then took off)
>>83777864
It annoys me how invest I am in a webcomic I honestly don't remember shit about and essentially completely reread every time it updates.
>>83779722
speaking of Dummcomics, Ink Theater's creator was on /co/ last year
he was pretty cool, shame his comic hasn't updated since January
>>83779769
i should reread some old stuff more often. because of how webcomics work, it's pretty much brand fucking new every time.
I remember coming across a webcomic ages ago that started out super wholesome and Christian, but slowly descended into sin and destruction. Does anyone remember this?
This one is *technically* still updating... It's complicated.
Once upon a time, Dave R did the fantasy webcomic Legend of Bill (which is still running but made by another guy). It introduced an occasional side character, a psycho barwench named Sarah.
Dave talked a guy, Jason W, into making a spinoff webcomic about her called Barwench Tales. It was pretty ok. He did it for a couple of years but then had to quit due to some personal reasons.
A third guy, Jim C, stepped in to take over Barwench Tales. While not as good an artist as Jason, he gradually changed it from a laff-a-day strip to a notably darker sword & sorcery adventure with Sarah in a continuing story. Which eventually concluded.
Jason came back. In the meantime his art style had changed for the worse, gone stylized in a bad way and reusing lineart like a motherfucker. And we were mostly back to laff-a-day strips, sometimes leaning towards autobiographical stuff - like, when he married, Sarah married her boyfriend, Sarah cut her hair when his wife did.
It's still pretty ok, but I do miss Jim's version of Barwench Tales.
Sinfest. It used to have strips like this one every fucking day of the week.
Today it's just some feminist propaganda comic, with the main characters only making cameos at best.
>>83780598
You'll need to provide more details, man.
