Title: The thread for favorite comic strip posts
Post by: Tage on May 10, 2004, 12:57:00 PM
You know, we should have one of these. When you're reading your chosen list of comics, and you come across one that MUST be shared, put it here. For example, I believe Sam Logan has just created my favorite Sam & Fuzzy strip ever:

Ok, first off, in the grand tradition of ninjas v. pirates, here is a strip about, well... ninjas versus pirates (http://www.questionablecontent.net/comics/50.png). This I would pay to see.

Yes but would you vote Spiderman-Kerry, or Spierman-Bush even?  See that's the downside.   Now a Spiderman-Hulk ticket, that's one I could get behind.  Instead of sending the US army into Iraq we could just have sent the Hulk, same result but with no one on our side dieing.

Because I resent work, I went and read some more of those Dragon Tails strips. There are some good ones.

One for Jeffe. (http://www.dragon-tails.com/comics/archive.php?date=010923)

Title: Re: The thread for favorite comic strip posts
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on July 14, 2004, 09:07:12 AM
when i finish reading it. I'm in mid 2002 so I still have around 730 strips to read. I think I'm enjoying these later strips more.  The superhero parody (which was involved with that one for JP) was quite amusing, especially when Bluey is supposed to be confounded by confrontation with the depth of his own character, and he dips his finger in the pool representing it, and it doesn't even cover his claw. The then jumps in the puddle, dancing and celebrating, as it were, in the shallowness of his own character. and actually, I don't think I'm reading too much into that. As he himself says later when told he's one-dimensional "Hey, I like to blow things up AND play video games. That's two dimensions."

Though the best line may be "Quick! Where's the undo button for the kitchen?"

Yeah, yesterday's reading made me laugh out loud and left me smiling a few times. I'm liking it.

Dinosaur comics wins the prize for funniest comic featuring the exact same art for every strip 18 months running. it matters little since it's very text-based and the relation of the figures is almost entirely superficial.

Oh, I laughed. And it was the source of a great deal of contention that I pointed it out to others of my extended family. My wife's grandmother, in particular, was very adament that talking poorly of the president cheapened the office. To which I did not verbally reply, but which I immediately thought "If he's worthy of being talked poorly about, he has already cheapened it."

Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on October 19, 2004, 09:34:07 AM
let me be clear, in my reply, I'm not referring to any specific president. I'm sure you'll agree that if a president, say, authorizes a burglary in order to win an election, that he's cheapened the office of president, and we certainly shouldn't shy from the fact that he's a criminal just because he's the president.

I think that "you can't talk bad about the president" is a load of BS. I think you're OBLIGATED to say that the president is doing the wrong thing if you truly think he is. To do otherwise cheapens the Constitution.

This is how messed up the world I live in is.

First, read this (http://www.room931.com/archive.php?id=259)

Yes, it's a comic. About a vacuum cleaner. Named spelling (his wife's name is Dictionary and his son is Homework) (yes, he has a wife and a son).

But that punchline was hilarious to me.

When I tried to explain to a co-worker, I naturally had to explain the whole premise.

Which, quite frankly, is hard to do with out some looks that clearly say "You are a one sick puppy."

inter-appliance sexual relations. The main character is a vacuum. And he DOES have a son. Fortunately, it all happens off screen, though it is talked about on screen. Really, I guess that strip is rated R.

Both for sexual content and for being frickin weird.

Title: Re: The thread for favorite comic strip posts
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on February 24, 2005, 03:35:20 PM
it's a card from the Tarot deck. Kestral is Wiccan, or at least at some point in the past. My only problem with the title really is that it wasn't really relevant to most of the strip, unless there's a symbolism with it that I'm completely unfamiliar with.

edit: Here's a page (http://www.learntarot.com/wqn.htm) that talks about the traits of the QoW card. Soem of it applies to Kestral's character, but not all of it. I guess that works, but is a bit laden with esoteric meaning to reach your typical web comic reader with significance.
Title: Re: The thread for favorite comic strip posts
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on February 24, 2005, 03:36:32 PM
Tarot reference.  Kestrel is kind of the embodiment of what the queen of wands represents, IMO.    
Title: Re: The thread for favorite comic strip posts
Post by: The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers on February 24, 2005, 03:40:45 PM
See, I was just reading that page, and according to that description, she certainly DOESN'T fit  the "self-assured" bit. The last year's story line has been about her self-doubt and making mistakes. There's also "Although she's never arrogant, " which is completely incorrect regarding Kestral. She doesn't always focus on helping people up, either, but is quite often self centered. Maybe Aeire was trying to embody that but missed a little because she wanted to be faithful to the humor more. It's a good decision, since the story and humor are more important than trying to embody a title, but the title isn't the most accurate.
Title: Re: The thread for favorite comic strip posts
Post by: fuzzyoctopus on February 24, 2005, 03:46:28 PM
No but the comic was about that journey - all three characters came from originally very dark places in their lives.  I think the queen of wands is what Kestrel is meant to be, or becomes especially near the end.

When the Iron Grind challenge thing whatever it's called started I went to the home page and sampled all the comics. Most of them are boring.  Mousewax had amusing hampsters or gerbils or whatever they are.  So I kept reading it.

It'd be much appreciated.  Thinking about it more, I think it's the fact that everybody does webcomics about roommates sitting around and saying funny one-liners.  (Though, admittedly, not often with Jesus). I've never seen one about funny hampsters that dress up like super heroes before.

You will have fun. You will have fun, and you will like it. I am taking you to that mystical land of pine trees, mossy lakes, high-powered jet skiis, and MOUSes (mosquitos-of-unusual size)--a land that so far you have only heard of in your dreams (or undead nightmares). And you will have fun or die trying.  ;)

Along the lines of the "hopeless nerd" conversations last weekend? And... half the conversations I have with my friends? :) I find it all depends on who you hang out with, whether you're considered a hopeless nerd or quite normal. For example, I have a friend here in Seattle who wants to set me up with a Libertarian who looks like the unibomber and never goes to church--because he reads SF/F. Hm. (And I don't even read the same books he reads.)

Brenna said it was because she probably just doesn't understand that there are varying levels of nerds. ;)

today on dinosaur comics they linked "A Lesson Is Learned But The Damage Is Irreversible," and it pains me to think that this comic has been going on for so long and I've never read it before; I guess it posts so infrequently (it's really an offshoot of Tile Comics, which I don't really dig) that I can't be blamed.

It takes a while before they catch their stride, but then it's some of the best stuff I've read in webcomics. I point you toward my favorites:

Here are two of my favorites.  Snafu has probably 10 different strips, the links are all there, so it should be easy for you computer geniuses to figure out.  ;)
(Grim Adventures are my favorite)

Okay, that was pretty funny. I wish I'd have known you could do that. Oh the fun I could have had with my sister's WoW account...

I've felt like this one at times, particularly with my sweet tooth...

With all the squabbling of copyrights and fair use I got a kick out of this one.

I know it's not an online comic but I LOVE the Walking Dead series by Robert Kirkman. Has anyone else read them?

I couldn't find any mention of of it here (http://www.google.com/search?client=opera&rls=en&q=site:timewastersguide.com+bitstrips&sourceid=opera&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8), so I hope this isn't misconstrued as linkspamming, but if you're a fan of online comics, why not try creating your own with bitstrips (http://www.bitstrips.com/) =)?
