  1. Enlightened people see the world differently and understand nature on a different level

    What seems supernatural to you is normal for them because they understand how that stuff really works

    Kinda like trying to fix your computer on your own for hours and then calling a friend who fixes it in 10 minutes :lol:

    • Like 2

  2. OK back to serious stuff

    http://ghostcarpress.com/inkdick/

     

    This is a comic of Pranas T. Naujokaitis and I had to go to his about page to copy his name here

    This comic started when Pranas had to make this comic as an assignment for college

    and he never stopped... until recently, which sucks

     

    Now listen, this comic is very interesting because it was originally an autobigraphic comic started as a college assignment in sequential art(comics course)

    That means, there are other artists from his crass or college who've done the same thing

     

    Some events take place in many comics at the same time on the internet that way

     

    There is a comic of Pranas's'ss friend Brett Muller

    And here is a comic of the professor who gave the assignment in the first place

    Oh and here is a comic of Kevin Burkhalter

    oh and by the way, here's a comic by Shazzbaa

    See what I mean :lol:

     

     

    Back to Pranas, who is my favorite out of the bunch

    hourly2010prev.jpg

    We basically watch his grow up as he finally finishes his studying and moves to some place safer

    A lot of eventful things happen as he lives in wherever that bad neighborhood was

    We also see a lot about his friends and family, he really let's you into his life

    Fun fact: Know what, I'll go read it again


  3. Now for something silly

    http://www.gunshowcomic.com/

     

    This bucket of silliness is by KC Green

    Unlike the comics that came before it, it doesn't get philosophical at all

    20100125.gif

    Does this count?

     

    Quality is very low on the first few strips but they are still funny and the art improves later on

    There is no story but the random little things that keep happening

    One of these things is the Anime Club which got its own page on the site

    http://gunshowcomic.com/ac/

    Read these at your own risk, the truth can be harsh

     

    I don't check back to it because I won't miss anything if I don't read it for few weeks... or months...

    Fun fact: You're laughing in horror it was that good


  4. It is time to continue with

    http://english.bouletcorp.com/

     

    This is a autobiographical comic by Boulet who likes to call it a blog

    He lives in Paris and is very French

    He is a cartoonist and so the quality of comics is great

    The site is originally French but it has an English translation AND a Korean one

     

    Sometimes he shows how his work is, how his days go by, and sometimes he slows down to think about things

    and sometimes it's just silly things

     

    0023-Caracteristiques.jpg

     

     

     

    Fun fact: Number 3 there keeps giving me deja vu


  5.  

    Nice video of the moors and fells of northern England as well.

     

    By the way, could someone tell me how to embed the video rather than just posing the link please?

     

    Thanks in anticipation. :)

     

    When making a post, click on an icon of three boxes and put the video's address into the thing

    Code thing will look like this

  6. One more and then I'll go drink something

    http://www.harkavagrant.com/index.php

     

    This one is a HISTORICAL WEBCOMIC

    Or more like, making fun of history

    The author Kate Beaton has a history degree and worked in a museum, she lives all over the place

    I think this thing would be funnier if I knew what they were talking about hmmm...

    Fun fact: This thread needs more Canada!


  7. Speaking of long comics

    http://www.scarygoround.com/

     

    Omigawd, this one is actually not that long but think about how long the whole thing is when I tell you this: It's a sequel

     

    Bad Machinery is a comic by John Allison and is a sequel to Scary Go Round

    WHICH IS A SEQUEL TO BOBBINS, kinda

     

    Bad Machinery is about some kids who solve mysteries

    These kids are related to some characters from Scary Go Round

    Some characters from Scary Go Round are characters from Bobbins

    And they all love to talk, so much

     

    If you have time or too much of it, read every line of dialogue you can ever find there

    Fun fact: I kinda know what's going on in the story


  8. As promised, it's time for another legend

    http://www.americanelf.com/

     

    These autobiographic comics tend to end sometimes while other keep going... since 1998

    10-26-98.gif

     

    The adventures of Kochalka, the American Elf, are adventures of his

    He is actually a superstar and he makes music that you might recognize if you listen to this

    OK, listen to this first

    On a channel called Nickelodeon there was a show called KABLAM! and it had some music in it

    I wonder where that came from

     

    Anyway, the comic has been going on for a veeeeery long time

    He made one small strip every whenever he made one small strip

    The whole thing is so long that you can even watch his kids grow, weird

    Fun fact: Last fact was true


  9. And now it's time for a cult classic

    http://www.darcomic.com/

     

    This comic is created by the legendary Erica Moen

     

    DAR! chronicles the six year long autobiographical story of Erika Moen, who starts out as a lost 20-year-old lesbian artist-wannabe in college who falls in love with a boy in England and the evolution that her sexual identity undergoes before winding up marrying him as a queer 26-year-old full-time cartoonist. Along the way there are many vignettes about sex, farts, the queer community, the Brits, vibrators and figuring out sexual identity.

     

    It ran from 2003-2009.

     

    It is not cheating if I use quotes because I make the rules here!

     

    This one is really an epic tale of epic adventures, and it's all real, again

    It starts off very gloomy but everything works out in the end, of the comic

    It started when she felt the worst and ended when she felt the best in her life

    It's a very good read

    Fun fact: There is also a very neat graphic novel online http://www.buckocomic.com/ and I participated in the wiki thing http://buckonet.wikispaces.com/ if only I could find what I wrote there


  10. The history of this next comic begins in the ancient past of the internets

    http://www.johnnywander.com/

    Nah, not really

     

    Another very nice autobiographic comic about a munch of young people

    Don't worry, I'll get to old people eventually

    The epic history of his comic crosses with the lines of destiny of comics Apple Geeks and Mac hall

    Machall is mentioned because it's usually gets confused with Apple Geeks, both are about apple geeks

     

    Ananth is a writer for Apple Geeks and here are his stats

    about-ananth.jpg

     

    The artist for Johnny Wander is Yoko

    about-yuko.jpg

     

    Fun Fact: They both might have a last name

     

    It's a nice thing to follow and read now and then, one of my favorites

    Can't really describe what is going on in there because there is a lot going on in there

     

    001.jpg

     

     

     

    Fun fact: What? Another?


  11. You guys are definitely going to enjoy this next one, or else

    http://dresdencodak.com/

     

    The comic is barely drawn by Aaron Diaz, who has problems with sleeping, sees things that are not there, and is probably crazy or he want's you to think that

    http://dresdencodak.com/about/

    THERE HE IS! GET HIM!

     

    The comic is full of single page, or something, stories that are recently have been forced into making sense with a story, or something

    The story follows this Kim Ross character who has scientifically based adventures that mostly resemble some drug related visions of what science should really look like

     

    I spoke of mood before, the mood of this comic is very calming to me and it's like a happy place

    Not everything immediately makes sense to me but it's so familiar that I would like to stay there

    Maybe I just need more sleepless nights to understand

     

    2009-07-12-fabulous_prizes.jpg

     

     

     

    Fun fact: Apparently a bunch of people got high before making science and that's why we have things we have today


  12. The next glorious ultra delicious jem is Octopus Pie

    http://www.octopuspie.com/

     

    This comic is made by this lady named Meredith Gran

    The is very active in the webcomic community place,

    Protip: After a while you notice that there is a webcomic community

     

    The webcomic is best described by this phrase left on the front page

    Octopus Pie is an ongoing comic series about two women living in Brooklyn, NY - their jobs, social circles, and some problems.

     

    It is a great comic, if it sucked I wouldn't have mentioned it in the first place

    It has humor, story, and what I like the most about it, the mood

    It changes from silly, to slow and thoughtful

    It takes place in a city and shows all the fun things that could be done while living in a city, like meeting new people, doing crazy things for work, baking while baked, rocking with a rock lobster, and learning under zen ducks

    Fun fact: There will be one more fact after this one

    Fun fact two: There was a fun fact before this one


  13. Next up is Gunnerkrigg Court by some guy who needs money

    http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/index2.php

     

    The author quit his job to work on the comic fulltime

    Good for him, if only he also update more often

    The author who from now on will be addressed as Tom Siddell is named Tom Siddell

    Here's some info on him

    http://www.gunnerkrigg.com/about.html

    Amazing

     

    The comic itself is very formal and follows a proper story and is separated by chapters

    The story follows a girl named Antimony Carver who attends school that is coincidentally called Gunnerkrigg Court

    The setting seems normal at first but later it's revealed that not only the events at school are weird but the setting is also more interesting then it first looked

     

    The art improves a lot from the start and the stories are very engaging

    Many characters are introduced and I don't want to spoil anything because exploring the court with the characters is most fun

     

    00000488.jpg

     

     

     

    Fun fact: I think me and Tom look the same

  14. Next webcomic phenomena is Wasted Talent

    http://www.wastedtalent.ca/

     

    A Canadian thing that takes place in Vancouver

    It's an autobiographic comic and so we see the author running around the place and panels

    The story starts in College thing and follows the adventures of Angela Melick, a girl engineer student person

    She eventually graduates, since it's an autobiographic comic, and has a life and stuff

     

    All the characters that appear in the comic are real people and stuff that happens is also real, no stunt doubles

     

    This is one of the first comics I found and I've read it so many times that I'm kinda sick of it, but sick of it in a good way because I wont be getting sick of it if it wasn't any good

    AND IT IS GOOD, because I'm telling you that

     

    A lot of fun stuff happens and many young people being young

    It is updated, eventually

     

    wt_closingtime.png

     

     

     

    Fun fact: The site has a forum and I forgot my password, damit


  15. Let's start the talk with a webcomic called Sinfest

    http://www.sinfest.net/

     

    This thing looks like art to me, a lot of webcomic artists say that webcomics are art but they have nothing to show for it

    I don't know much about this Tatsuya Ishida fellar, he doesn't talk to fans but sometimes he puts himself right into the comic and you get the idea what is going on on the other side

    Oh, and he works for Darkhorse, but who cares

     

    This thing is art and I know without having to tell me

    I know it's very important to Tat since the comic has been running for many many years

    You can even see how the history changes and influences the comic

     

    In the beginning there were just few crude characters and some well predeveloped ones,

    you know, like GOD, or more like God's hand and some puppets, remember that part?

     

    Overtime characters who were just caricatures in the beginning become developed and you start to understand what's on their minds without reading anything about it

    It's just there, like a painting or some picture, but instead of being just a picture, there is a meaning behind it

     

    I check it out everyday and it is updated everyday so it's a good thing to check out everyday, and stuff

     

    2001-06-10.gif

     

     

    Fun fact: Felt like naming myself after it instead of using the same name on every site I go to


  16. This is a webcomix thread, the place for webcomix

    I won't recommend any because I can't think of anything on the top of my head

    So you recommend something instead

    Garfield doesn't count

     

    I don't like just funny ones

    Just funny ones don't have much thought put into them

    I would start reading them and try to catch up to something important and then find out that there was nothing going on since the beginning

     

    The best comics are like this
