ahh.. bliss
I'm a big fan of webcomics. I loved the funnies when I was a kid, and still do, my father and I are still avid fans of almost everything out there. From the undisputed kings (Calvin & Hobbes, we are but serfs in your presence) to the newcomers (Woot for Pooch Cafe!), to the satirical (Lily Wong, The ultimate Hong Kong strip) we loved our comic strips.
So naturally webcomics are just more of a good thing. Sure a lot of them suck but some of them, well. They just are sublime. I'm talking about Machall, Penny Arcade, The Joy of Tech etc and one of the new ones I've gotten into Truenuff. But as of late I've started reading one of the big ones. The one which almost everyone reads but I surprisingly haven't, PvPonline . So I now have about 4 years of unread comics which are all superb, preserving not only the glorious wacky comedy which is prevalent in the Webcomic field but also a soul. Comics with soul are a rare thing and this comic has it by the bucketload.
BTW For the record Anime comics do not have soul. Megatokyo has never been my cup of tea. Sad anime girls are not aesthetically pleasing to my eye, sure Gabe might not be the most superb artist but I can see a rendering of almost anyone drawn by him and read more into it than pencilled sad japanese kids... Just my opinion :)
Anyhow as I said.. SOOOO MUCH UNREAD COMIC!!! Wooooo! I've stopped my study for the evening and I'm going to take advantage of some serious surfing time and enjoy some quality comic strips. My only regret is that I'm not with my broadband at the flat to view them but then perhaps it is better to be without my grandmother's constant interrupting wafflings.
Later
