This is from the guy who does 8-Bit Theater (Brian Clevinger), and it kicks nine kinds of ass. I really look forward to seeing it develop.

(Every face in that strip is unique. That's good art direction)

Here's another I just found

Super Mega Comics isn't exactly reliable, but sometimes I enjoy it a lot.

I made a fan art for them five or six years ago.



I'm not too proud.

[William Broom]

Is Super Mega Comics the same one with the dog that says 'HOW DO I PLAY VIDEOGAMES'? Because the artwork is definitely the same but the writing style seems quite different from what I read.

to art is to frame something in order to make it expressive about emotion, form, beauty, sense, meaning, statement, etc...

A frame can be a painting frame, a museum, signature, abstract decoration, unconventional context, lot of pretentious bullshit, etc...


edit:


ART is the frame through things became expressive.

Game is a frame for a universe, therefore game are art.

Everything2 wiki entry, "Brian Eno":

Brian Eno has, quite justly, a reputation for being an intellectual. But complementing his endless curiosity and experimentation is his rather bizarre sense of humour. This is very apparent in his diary, "A Year With Swollen Appendices". One of the incidents he relates in the book is almost beyond belief, although I have to say that I personally am inclined to take his word for it.

The story revolves around Marcel Duchamp's "Fountain", which is basically a porcelain urinal which Ducamp chose at random and subsequently exhibited. In 1995, Eno saw it on display in the Museum of Modern Art in New York City, being treated as if it was a holy relic rather than a randomly chosen object. He was appalled that Duchamp's message, which Eno characterizes as, "I can call any old urinal — or anything else for that matter — a piece of art", had been so badly misunderstood. But Eno had far more pressing things on his mind. The following is quoted from his diary.

"I've always wanted to urinate on that piece of art, to leave my small mark on art history. I thought this might be my last chance — for each time it was shown it was more heavily defended. At MoMA it was being shown behind glass, in a large display case. There was, however, a narrow slit between the two front sheets of glass. It was about three-sixteenths of an inch wide.

I went to the plumber's on the corner and obtained a couple of feet of clear plastic tubing of that thickness, along with a similar length of galvanized wire. Back in my hotel room, I inserted the wire down the tubing to stiffen it. Then I urinated into the sink and, using the tube as a pipette, managed to fill it with urine. I then inserted the whole apparatus down my trouser-leg and returned to the museum, keeping my thumb over the top end so as to ensure that the urine stayed in the tube.

At the museum, I positioned myself before the display case, concentrating intensely on its contents. There was a guard standing behind me and about 12 feet away. I opened my fly and slipped out the tube, feeding it carefully through the slot in the glass. It was a perfect fit, and slid in quite easily until its end was poised above the famous john. I released my thumb, and a small but distinct trickle of my urine splashed on to the work of art."

Violence in Daisy Owl is the best.



EDIT: oh my god I spoke too soon, the next few are even better.

It's a bit weird how panels one and two seemingly interact directly and three is separate.  I still like it, though. 

[PaleFox]

I'm partial to Slow Wave

[Gainsworthy]

I read this left-to-right.

I'll level with you. I was confused.

[William Broom]

Hey, does anybody know what is going on in Penny Arcade right now?

Like, I know they are trying to do a story-based comic instead of just gags, but... I don't understand this story at all. Is there a prequel or something that makes it make sense?

Not entirely, but! A while ago they had some ideas for Actual Story comics, one being Automata, the other Lookouts. Both were popular, but Automata won the vote - they promised to do both. If I remember right, there was a decent whop of content (ideas, podcasts) for Lookouts, too. Dig around.

To boil it down, they're Boy Scouts from a Swords and Sorcery world. Rangers-To-Be, I suppose. Meant to be a Girl Scout version, too. I really love the idea.

I like writing Penny Arcade, but I also crave the exertion of creating entire worlds and sustaining them in my mind. My goal, my ultimate goal, is to build a universe that doesn't fall apart two days later. It is my hope that one of these strange creatures will endure.

OH YES: And, here's a guest comic set in the world, to boot!

For those who follow(ed?) Lost, Nedroid of Beartato posts relevant comics after each episode to his Twitpic account.

If there is 2 things that TIGS likes it's Pokemon and Webcomics

[Melly]

I think we all knew a guy like that.

With those same exact clothes.

[Bood_War]

Holy damn, I have those clothes, minus the hat 

[J. R. Hill]

You know what's funny?  I immediately thought, "Oh, that looks a lot like my friend's drawing style, and she likes Gyarados too!"  Then I realized it was her webcomic that I didn't know she made.  Her name is Kelly and she likes men a lot.

[Jared C]

Oh man, I'm really worried.  My name is Jared, I have that exact shirt, and I love Pokemon.
I think Coelsquid is spying on me.
