Title: For Pony! (LFG)
Post by: Liathiana on June 19, 2009, 12:46:16 AM

I looked around the forum first and didn't seen any Looking For Group posts...if I missed one, please forgive me! Though I really think the awesome of LFG can't be contained to just one thread myself...

Edit: Yep, so the first topic I read after I post this is about LFG *facepalm*

LFG is my favorite webcomic, hands down ;D It may be because I'm a Richard fangirl and I think he is awesome incarnate but I haven't found one to rival LFG yet. In fact it's the only one I keep tabs on regularly. If it's any indication my favorite animated character is Caboose from Red vs Blue ("My name is Michael J. Caboose, and I hate babies!" Classic, though it's much funnier I suppose when you're watching/hearing it). I also love Bender (Futurama), Stewie (Family Guy) and that little dominating guy on Spongebog Squarepants (I don't watch it enough to remember his name).

So who else is a fan? I'm planning on doing a reread soon so I can properly discuss it if anyone's up for it!

For fun, the requisite WoT parody comic post. (http://lfgcomic.com/page/33)

And skipping ahead, here is the link that refers to my nifty title. (http://lfgcomic.com/page/42) ;D

It's on my reading list. I'd say it's decent...not the best thing ever, but good enough that I haven't unsubscribed yet.

Similar comics you might like: The Order of the Stick (http://giantitp.com) and Erfworld (http://erfworld.com). Other gems include Kukukburi (http://www.kukuburi.com/), Schlock Mercenary (http://schlockmercenary.com[/url), The Abominable Charles Christopher (http://www.abominable.cc/), Evil Inc. (http://evil-comic.com/), Octopus Pie (http://www.octopuspie.com/) (language warning), and (one of my very favorites) The Adventures of Dr. McNinja (http://drmcninja.com).

Also, even though it's ended, Ugly Hill (http://uglyhill.com/d/20050523.html) ran for four years and is well worth reading.

That's actually all of the story-driven comics I read. Heh. I'm always looking for more; any recommendations?

Edit: Also, Cale's eyebrows remind me of Biff's (http://www.thebookofbiff.com/). ;D

As another opinion, Looking for Group is undoubtedly the best webcomic out there.  It's a witty riff on gaming pop culture.  Underneath that, is a great action adventure story.  The characters are developed better than almost any other gaming comic. 

And then there's Richard. 

Read the comic.
