my favorite webcomics in 20 words or less

MS Paint Adventures (Homestuck, Problem Sleuth, Jailbreak): Is it the best collaborative point-and-click text-adventure game you've never played? No! It's a webcomic.
Sweet Bro and Hella Jeff: Only Andrew Hussie would run a shitty webcomic just to make silly references to it in his other webcomic.
Questionable Content: Uber-tattooed indie rock ( Read more... )

I agree with all these choices! I just gotta say: impactbomb January 9 2010, 16:42:53 UTC

What, Dominic Deegan and QC, but no Gunnerkrigg Court or Shortpacked!? Pffft. :P

FUCK YEAH ERFWORLD IS AWESOME EVERYONE SHOULD READ IT. I remember sitting down to read it, expecting (because of its initial hosting on GitP) another Order of the Stick and ... the feeling of dread and horror and fucked-up that slowly creeps down your spine as you read along and discover just how precisely tuned the whole thing is, how exactly a certain experience has been replicated ... it's a sensation I relish.

There's a lot to be fond of with Dresden Codak, but I love it most of all for the tricks it plays with continuity and/or the lack thereof, especially in the aftermath of "Hob".

I....really don't see how Dominic Deegan and QC are in any way similar to GC and Shortpacked. Neither of the latter comics has ever been able to hold my interest for long. GC's got pretty art and a decent story but it's just never been strong enough to keep on my tightly culled daily list. And I've never been able to get into David Willis's universally babyfaced, mildly pleasant characters (though I admit to staying up late one night reading through the final arc of It's Walky! archives when it ended).

It's also weird how we technically first met over Exploitation Now! but neither of us have mentioned Errant Story. For a long time I kept hoping it would finally come into its own like the end of EN but it's been over seven years (!) and we're still not anywhere near the Really Good Bit, if there ever will be a Really Good Bit. I dropped it from my list after my last computer crash. Not worth it anymore ( ... )
