Random Webcomic Blurbs

Today, Momo is my favorite character in Questionable Content; she's simply adorably helpful.  But then again, next week another character will be the one I absolutely adore, because well, QC is like that- it can introduce characters that one would think are dodgy, but that rapidly develop a character that makes you want to watch them.  One reason for that is the characters actually change.  I have to love a webcomic that avoids the "Sluggy Freelance" trap, by having characters and relationships that change over time.

I'm seriously sad that Scary Go Round is ending, because I adore its whimsical, understated and very British humor.  On the other hand, I can appreciate that the author is determined not to do a "Wizard of Id" with the webcomic. And the ending itself is wonderfully bittersweet, with various characters moving on, and their future being hopeful, if uncertain.

Misfile continually exceeds expectations. Admittedly, my expectations were pretty slight, since I assumed that it was going to merely be a "boy n girl's body" sex comedy, mixed with Initial D fandom. But Ash's body switch is a minor element; the comic is actually far more about Emily's development from a neurotic overachiever to a more well rounded person who's figuring out what she wants to do with her life. In fact, regressing two years may be the best thing that's ever happened to her. And now the comic is getting involved in heavenly politics; there's what seems like a very serious subplot that's been developing behind the shenanigans. I'm seriously wondering where this comic is going to go.

Sluggy Freelance has changes. Relatively slow perhaps, given its length, but there. Riff and Gwynn, Riff and Sasha, Aylee's humanity, Torg realizing he loves Zoe, Zoe realizing she loves Torg, whatever the fuck is going on right now, revelations (finally) about Oasis.

I enjoyed QC at first but after a while i realized it was basically "Friends" for indie hipsters with short attention spans.

Sluggy has considerable development. It's just that Pete does something which annoys the hell out of me (though not *QUITE* enough to stop) by doing Really Light storylines that depend on the characters reassuming familiar roles (this is, at least in Torg's case, becoming more and more obviously a defense mechanism or a deliberate act, not a matter of him failing to develop). Then he drags me back in with Serious Storylines of Awesome like he's doing now.

Currently I'm following Sluggy, Girl Genius, Sinfest, Something*Positive, Schlock Mercenary, and The Dreamland Chronicles.

I am tapping my foot impatiently for Erfworld Season 2 to commence.

Ditto. I have been enjoying the prose-only updates, though.

I like Maggie's new outfit. It suits her.
