web comics
« on: Sun, 16 March 2014, 12:19:25 »
I used to follow Hackles, Proof of False, Scandinavia and the World, Gone with the Blastwave, Oglaf (NSFW) and some other stuff (Cyanide and Happiness, SMB and xkcd, of course), but only Abstruse Goose stuck with me. It's hilarious.

What do you read?

I used to have a huge list of webcomics but since the death of Google Reader I haven't been reading them as they update, but rather scraping them each month and shoving them in a comic book archive to read on the train. Buttersafe, Scary Go Round/Bad Machinery, Sinfest, and of course xkcd are the only ones I still read. I also read Gunnerkrigg Court but I first read it in print so I'm not sure it counts.

There's at least one thread on this already, someone should look into that and get them merged.

These days the only ones I really pay much attention to are the ones by the Pixietrix team and Modest Medusa.

What do you use to scrape them? I've been looking for a way to save comics locally for archival purposes and whatnot, but I'm not a programmer so it's not been easy.

No mention of Perry Bible Fellowship or Dinosaur Comics? For shame.

I think this is the only webcomic I really follow. Love it so much, it makes me laugh a lot. I do check The Oatmeal and xkcd sometimes but C&H is my ****.

It's amazing. I don't really follow it, I let it build up and then catch up with it every few months.


Also, I forgot to mention earlier; I also follow I am ARG, which is pretty damn good. You should read it. It's pretty good.

perry bible fellowship (already mentioned here)
http://www.reddit.com/r/polandball/
(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Doghousediaries have not been mentioned yet it seems. Other than that the already mentioned C&H and xkcd.

I will be checking out some of the other ones mentioned in this thread.

If you've been in the military, Terminal Lance is absolutely fantastic.
