COMIC FAVS
a short comic featuring some charming and expressive art that really complements the growing
ridiculousness of this Date Emergency!

a triptych of short comics full of surreal melancholy, gentle contemplation, and tastey limited
palettes
"Two lovers get separated on a night out in a parallel dimension.
A ship that runs on memories malfunctions in the dead of space.
A giant prophesied to wake from its centuries-long slumber beneath the sea."
the middle comic, What Is Left, is my personal favorite :3

if you like slice-of-lifes but Also like stories of personal struggle but Also enjoy all that
being wrapped up in a comedic bow, this story is the eating disorder flavor of that!
its goofy exploration of a heavy topic feels steeped in personal experience, the author
sprinkling around everyday moments of ED struggles without it ever feeling either like a pitying
melodrama or like it's been scrubbed clean to appeal to everyone
currently doesn't look like this comic is available anywhere, i'll update this whenever
that changes
growing older is super lame and grody right?? what if we had the HOURGLASS to fix that
problem for (some of) us! <3 all you have to do is maintain its nest of cogs and gears
and we'll all be fine
an interesting exploration of a Definitely Healthy Society with some delightfully
expressive art

firmly locks Copper in a chokehold and noogies him

mom's money being stolen!! get back here you sketchy little girl!!! hey why is everything frozen
now

Sam Alden's comics are def an aesthetic fav of mine
i love the scribbly confidence of his pencilwork--there's a charm to his mark making
that i find very tantalizing, his usage of bold shadows especially catching my eye

accomplishes the impossible task of making Jon Arbuckle a likable AND relatable person.
the focus on his comics career is honestly really cute and wholesome 😭
read JON 1! and read JON 2!
what if two dudes found a funny little box.... and they were ROOMMATES........
so far a VERY solid occult mystery adventure!! you got the mystery of What The Fuck Is
This Box, you got a likeable cast of characters with great chemistry (some are even little
stinkers), and you got The Art. expressive, not fiddly with making overly-clean lines, and fun
usage of both hatching and black fills. it's the kind of art style that just makes a lot of
sense for the Long Slog that is making a webcomic without sacrificing art quality

sometimes you get lost in the woods in the heart of winter and stave off death with a chance
meeting with a fire girl :3

art with Very Pretty Colors. even tho i hate the cold im always a sucker for winter aesthetics

i've been a fan of Little Tunny's work for a while, especially their autobio comics, so when i
heard that they had a physical collection of their comics Of Course i had to get it. the
cartooning is charming in a grotesquely expressive kind of way, highlighting the hilarity of
(weird) everyday encounters. and you can read all of these comics for free thru their social media!

Tiến, the child of Vietnamese immigrants, loves his parents but struggles with how to
come out as gay to them bc of their language barrier
they bridge this divide thru the shared lexicon of fairy tales; different cultures
have their own versions of the same tales, familiar archetypes taking on the flavors of their
regions. it's a heartwarming approach to a child and parent connecting with one another, each of
them able to see themselves in certain stories and using the power of spoken storytelling to
reach out where their own words fail them
some kids set out to make a provocative name for themselves in the sordid Los Angeles punk
scene. while the story is kinda edgy with its Sex and Drugs, it's less edgy just for the sake of
being edgy and more edgy in an attempt to authentically depict the scene it's exploring
this webcomic is unfortunately Super Dead, but it's nice that we can get a glimpse into
what
it was striving for. i'd take a cancelled webcomic over a non-existant one any day

short comic about visiting family for the holidays While Trans

what if a mime walked into a bar but they might be a stranger

we love war! and we adore our idol-supersoldiers who fight for our glory live on
television!
good art, teenage girls used as weapons, Capitalism™, it's got it all babey!
sometimes two girls gotta beat the shit out of each other for the greater good y'know

i used to read A Lot of nuzlocke comics back in the day, but i don't really feel like
overwhelming this section with a bunch of Pokemon Fanfiction™, so i've chosen one (1)
comic that has stuck in my mind.
Rain Dance has a unique premise for a nuzlocke, following a young girl as
she tries to survive thru a massive natural disaster. if you're familiar with the Hoenn games,
it's really cool to see how Phyllocactus took the games' extremely basic story and molded it
into a very different tale.
unfortunately the comic was cancelled relatively early in the story, but that's pretty
normal in the webcomic world. we must simply be thankful for the taste of it that we were gifted
😔🙏

a short comic created for an OCT (Original Character Tournament), featuring gorgeous art and an
oppressive atmosphere

i appreciate this webcomic for delving into the darker corners of the magical girl formula
without being eye-rollingly edgy or insipidly derivative. it's obvious from reading this comic
that Mary Cagle loves magical girl stories, and uses that passion to craft an intriguing
exploration of a society that relies fairly heavily on their own magical girlies
good characters, good mysteries, good Pain, we love to see it

one of my greatest desires for the world is to see more media featuring women who suck, and
Snotgirl heard my plea and handed me garbage women on a silver platter. Lottie (or, heh....
Snottie) is a fashion blogger influencer woman living in bustling LA. while she exudes a
perfect fashionable image to the public, she's actually a shitty garbage woman with horrible
pollen allergies.
Lottie meets super cool ultra fashionable Caroline and she's so excited to have a
new bestie!! but wait oh shit Caroline just died in front of her? or wait she didn't?? hey girl
what's going on there???
figure out the mystery of What The Fuck Is Going On while witnessing a bunch of awful
fashion influencer woman personalities clash together
this comic's appealing to me bc every time i turn a page im like "Woaw.... Cool World......"
witness an alien desert come to life as a giant whale's carcass provides the ecosystem
with tons upon tons of rotting flesh. a largely silent comic where you get to sit back and
witness Good Art, Nice Colors, and Cool Creatures. love a work that gives me a neat natural
world to explore

Anatola Howard has some of THE most expressive and charming cartooning i've seen in my life

themselves to you with goofy facial expressions and charming dialogue

cute Very Short comic about an adorable fawn and a robot

never have i EVER read something that encapsulates the deranged energies of Terminally Online
Classic Tumblr more than this comic. it takes the psyches of tumblr teens who were given too
much unrestricted access to other tumblr teens who don't know how to healthily process and cope
with what's going on in their lives and takes it to such a captivating theoretical extreme

i don't know that much about Metal Gear Solid so this fan comic is 100% an aesthetic fav of
mine.
the art jumps around a bunch of different styles, some more abstract than the last,
concocting a true feast for the eyes. wish i could say Anything of substance about the visual
storytelling but I Simply Have No Gamer Knowledge Of What's Going On (my biggest apologies to
Mr. Solid Snake)
