OT - comics

[dogscoff]

(Time for dogscoff's regular but random Friday afternoon off topic ramblings=-)

I'm a big fan of Online comics and I wantd to say thanks to Suicide Junki for his links to 8bit thatre and Schlock - brilliant stuff.

Personally I follow www.supermegatopia.com (http://www.supermegatopia.com) (slightly kinky, but funny) www.kevinandkell.com (http://www.kevinandkell.com)
Freefall (can't rememebr the URL - d'oh!)

oh, and as far as dead-tree media gos, take a peek at www.transmetropolitan.com (http://www.transmetropolitan.com) - one of the best comics in print. Spider Jerusalem really is very very cool=-)


I'v just realised that Suicide_Junkie shares his initials with Spider Jerusalm. Ooooh....

Check out http://giaever.com/op/transmet/main.htm for the kind of thing that Spider says.

I used to read a lot of Online comics, but I found I was spending far too much time waiting for my slow modem to download the images, so I cut way back. The only one I still read daily is Sluggy Freelance:

Cap'n Q

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

Just real;ised what I'v done... by the time I get back to this forum on Monday there will be 45 Online comics recommended on this thread and I'll hav to spnd 3 weeks reading through all the back catalogues... I'm already several months into sluggy...

www.cartoozine.com (http://www.cartoozine.com) is quite good, it hosts a lot of cartoons, comics and flash animations, some of the work is great, other stuff sucks...

I also draw cartoons, but I don't have a homepage, and besides they're all in Dutch, so posting them wouldn't be too usefull...

Some of my favs:


Bruno the Bandit (http://brunothebandit.com/d/19980720.html)
Diesel Sweeties (http://www.dieselsweeties.com/strips/sw01.shtml) (some mature subject matter for those of you which care about such things...)
and probably my favorite, The Mr. Chuck Show (http://www.mrchuckshow.com/d/19990301.html), which features the epitome of comedic achievment, the rake beating (also contains a bit of mature subject matter, though less than Diesel Sweeties, though more than my real life, which is a shame, a real damn shame...)
