I'm looking for more of Ryan Armand's Kiwis by Beat comics. Here's what's been saved from kiwisbybeat.com so far:
https://mega.nz/#F!wIglXQDK!hBB6hgG3kqMlkTKxFKZt6Q
Ribald Youth is down now as well, all the major comics from there are saved:
https://mega.nz/#F!ERYynS7K!4fWnn0TEAovkJOAUhJxrRg
Missing comics (* indicates title I heard of secondhand):
>A Monster Story (parts 3 & 5)
>A Vampire Story
>Ben Wilson, Ace Reporter (3 pages in part 1, most of part 6)
>Georgie the Fist
>Judy the Tank*
>Lem McNole*
>Love Iron (missing page 4)
>Modern Fried Snake (check incomplete folder)
>Socks (parts 2-11 & parts 13-39)
>Strong* (An anon claimed to have this in a previous thread)
>Tales of Dread*
>Today I am... (missing page 1)
>Topper Loved His Grandparents*
Have full series but not all the high res images:
>minus (have 44 high res pages, missing 88)
>Pelen Purul - pages 53-58 are lower quality than the original
I don't know if /wsr/ is useful for this sort of thing, but I figure I should leave no stone unturned. I'll post some pages from minus for people who are unfamiliar with Armand's work.
Also, I missed this post >>>/co/80643793 and now the mega link is dead. Does anyone know how much of Modern Fried Snake it had?
What happened? Did he ragequit? Just a mysterious disappearance? Or was this planned?
Used to love his stuff but that was years ago so I don't have anything saved on this computer. Sorry I can't really help.

>What happened?
Armand's ownership of kiwisbybeat.com lapsed.
>Did he ragequit?
Doesn't seem likely.
>Just a mysterious disappearance?
Yes.
>Or was this planned?
If it was, only copyrezo knows why.

http://web.archive.org/web/20150601000000*/http://kiwisbybeat.com might take a while but they could all be there?
>>80284
She turned into an elephant. What do you expect from a Republican?
>>80284
Yes, everything preserved by the Wayback Machine is in the mega link in the OP. There's around 1500 pages missing.
>>80172

Minusposter(s?), i just wanted to tell you that words can't explain how based you are
Huh, I've never seen this before. Thanks for posting!
>>81665
minus is one of his older works, but it's his best known.
His other works are great too, which is why I'm trying to collect & archive as many as I can.

Archive of the dead link from >>80059
I hope he comes back... Only sign of hope was a tumblr post he liked less than a month ago.
Thanks for this, OP.
Holy fuck, I forgot about minus.. Damn, what a good comic.
Better quality version of this page is in this post: >>80150
Reposting the lower res version as this is a multi-page storyline.

Just wanted to thank you for this OP. More people need to be aware of his guy, I've never seen a webcomic artist with such discipline and variety of work.
Here's the entirety of Minus in high res, glad to hear someone likes the comic like I do.

Sweet! Thanks a lot, man.
>>80057
so Minus is the story of Haruhi as a little girl? she was so destructive, they had to assign a squad to keep her entertained
>>87983
>she was so destructive
Oh, you have no idea.
These are all really nice, both story-wise and stylistically. I'm really enjoying reading them.
>>89142
He has a pretty wide variety of comics, check out his other stuff in the mega folders. My favorite short work of his is still missing, though.
The End, setting aside the 9 or so pages I skipped.
What a shitty end.
>>91703
He could've gone a different direction with it.
This thread still looks normal, will they April fools it after a bump?
Bumping with one of the incompletely archived stories now. I'll post the first couple parts.
Well, this is the image limit, and probably the last time I'll bump this thread. Got the missing minus images courtesy of >>87591, thanks again kind anon.
I may try storytiming the high-res minus on some of the other boards at some point to see if anything else turns up.
