Ow My Sanity - Wednesday , March 9 , 2011 - Puttin' the love back in Lovecraft.

No updates since 2011, mediocre art, but bunches of fun.

Art is weak, updating slowly since 2010. Captivating concept and story.

Thus ends Schlock Mercenary.
Author will keep telling stories set in this universe, but set in earlier times, in different format and timetable.

Hard to believe it's really at an end. I want more Schlock! More Petey!
And I also want to see how the dinosaurs coming back works out.
I hate lesbian-ships, unless a dude gets in on the action. This said, Cio is fairly cute.
Anyway, I can recommend a comic or two.
The first one is Awkward Zombie, a three gags a week comic about videogames. The other is essnetially a love-story mixed with amnesia. Fair warning, the art is animesque, and a long runner, so the art at the start is... serviceable. It's called Two Kinds. Essentially "A cat is fine too".

You have been weighed
ew, lesbians. And I had such high hopes for that comic.

are we talking free stuff or stuff you can by and download?

An infection of Your universe.
For the benefit of me, and everyone else on the internet, please finish grade-school English.
Anyway, I follow Freefall (hard science fiction, furry).

Sorry, anyway, I have a friend who has his own comic series called The Underburbs. It's got a very beetlejuice vibe IMO.
Demon Eater. My god, I haven't heard that name in a long while now. I thought the site went down with no backups.

So this is an oldie that's not as remembered anymore.
Kidd Radd was a "sprite" comic made by an author who was unenthused with all the people ripping off Megaman and pretending it was original, so he did all his own art in that style but with zero ripped graphics or themes. It's heavily animated with some musical sections and a complete, extreme solid story.
Kidd Radd is a neat piece of history, it was made when internet was hideously slow by modern standards to where even it's simple sprite graphics could strain dialup modems, so the author used some ingenious tricks to make it as low bandwidth as possible. Many of the comics are actually more akin to small webpages in themselves, using frames and tables and similar HTML tricks to isolate individual sprites in position and stretching gradients to use only a few bytes to cover large sections of canvas in the background. The like will probably never be done again as there's no modern need for a designer to take so much care to reduce download times.

Oh, man, blast from the past. Thanks for linking this; I last read it when it was just starting to decay due to advances of modern browsers, and before the re-port happend. (Which is actually really super meta, now that I mention it.)

The Whiteboard, a somewhat paintball-related webcomic by "Doc" Nickel
I didn't know they play handball in the USA

I noticed I hadn't posted a link despite following it for some time
The Weekly Roll started as an one shot but due to popularity it became a weekly comic, they are mostly self contained, but there is continuity. And it's funny as hell.
Meanwhile in the Whiteboard, Roger should really rethink his choice of underwear.

Next Town Over - Gaslamp and magic action in the alternate Wild West, a dangerous outlaw is being chased by his former significant other, causing death and havoc everywhere they go.
Marble Gate Dungeon - Let's go dungeoneering! Good art and likable characters.

Stand Still, Stay Silent is about to end, with conclusion of the merry bunch adventure in Finland, but it looks like it will be open ending so the author can return to making new stories if she ever feels like it, as right now making comics based on Scandinavian pre-christianity beliefs is not really what she wants to do.
Really? I thought it was going to go on forever.
Cartoon stories cannot go on forever, because the people who make them don't go on forever. Sometimes whatever motivated someone to begin making a webcomic later goes away.
