A Moist, Bare Bones [Webcomic] Thread

Thanks Royce for making the following:

Some people like webcomics. This thread is for those people.

Apparently a lot of creators lurk these threads, so in the interest of keeping the thread and avoiding hurt feelings,

1. Please try to keep shit-talking to a minimum
2. Don't get mad about webcomics

Also

Webcomic thread rules and suggestions
•Rule: NSFW comics cannot be posted, even if censored.
•Rule: Comics with NSFW material in the archives can be linked, as long as the link says the comic is sometimes NSFW. (This means Oglaf is linkable when it is postable.)
•Rule: The global "no shitposting" rule has generally been interpreted to mean "post comics you genuinely like" and don't flame others for posting things you don't like.
•Suggestion: Link to the comic, either by linking the image or putting the link below the image.
•There is not an official position on whether comics should be rehosted before they are posted.
•There is also not an official position on whether you need to include alt-text or accompanying newsposts.
•And finally, stop gettin' mad about webcomics.

    i fucking love subnormality

    i have a broader than average tolerance for enormous chunks of text, that's maybe why

    I like that comic a lot.

    I'm trying to work out that last panel in Expecting to Fly. Either she's flipping someone off the British way, or it's something rather more rude.

    ...and of course, as always, Kill Hitler.

    I've read subnormalities in the past and they were fine but I feel like my patience for/willingness to read 'infinite canvas' comics has only lessened as the years go by

    I think I like this Moonshadow now.

  • MadicanMadican No face Registered User regular
    Uh. Hmm. I had forgotten that Moonshadow is just as much a product of her upbringing as the protagonist except she never got the revelation that indiscriminate murdering of bad guys wasn't doing anything. So she's just kept doing what she was always told to do this entire time and thinks nothing of it.

    Wouldn't it be impossible for you to see while you're invisible? The light is going through your retinas.

    I think she's gonna kill the mercs, otherwise, why bother to research their past looking for reasons to kill them?

    If real physics were a thing SFP's universe then Alison would have shredded every heavy thing she ever tried to lift and throw because in real physics concentrated force to one area doesn't lift up the rest, it just shears through that spot.

    Oh hey, you're gonna love Hitmen for Destiny. The whole comic is built around such concepts.

    If real physics were a thing in SFP's universe then Pintsize would probably also freeze to death.

    Really, it's a superhero comic. It might be trying to go for realism, but not that kind of realism, capish?

    Invisible people can see while invisible, super-strong people can lift heavy objects without them breaking apart where they've grabbed on, people can shrink to tiny sizes and grow to gargantuan ones without any major thermodynamic issues or weight-related things. If you have wings, you can fly.

    General rule for cape comics: if you shrink, you keep your original strength. If you grow, you get proportionally stronger. (e.g. If you're an ant and grow, you can still lift a hundred times your weight, no matter what the square-cube law may say.)

    The entire first page of Grrlpower was about how laser beams and visual light were......agh! Too nerdy, better to show it......nope, nope, nope, nope.

    Nevermind, nothing to see here.

    Just this otter, just the otter.

    Wouldn't the otter have problem with underwater drag because of that one pipe?

    I would think Moonshadow creates her cloak like some cuttlefish do and other things.

    Hey, at least it wasn't this. A transparent forcefield deflecting lasers is pretty bad, but wow.

    The otter started to mess with pipes at a young age, trying to get a tight seal.

    Repeat it enough times, Mr. Thorne, and your guilt will surely go away. Eventually. Probably.

    The retired adventurer (or police officer) makes a great significant NPC in a campaign. They can have a worldly wisdom that comes of years of experience, and a surprisingly well-sustained reserve of physical prowess, hidden by a middle-aged spread and greying hair. They also come with a good excuse for not accompanying the heroes or getting too involved in their adventures ("I'm retired! I'm not going galavanting all over the countryside!"), or a good excuse to accompany them and get involved if necessary ("One more outing - ah, how I've missed this!"). They can be pretty much whatever the situation requires, which is always a good thing to have up your GMing sleeve.

    So I just remembered I had done a reading of a page from Gunnerkrigg.

    Specifically, this page

    00000777.jpg

    Took me a bit to find the file, but luckily I've only ever used a couple of websites to host that stuff.

    I wasn't sure if I wanted to share it at first, but I'm actually still pretty happy with how it sounds, so have a look if you're interested.

    I accidentally read the last two lines out of order, but I think it works just fine the way I did it.

    To be fair Grrlpower does take a bit more realistic but still handwaves it. Maxima for example can pick up cars with one hand because she extends a zero-point telekinetic field around the object she's picking up so it gets lifted with her mind. Same deal with her "invulnerability."

    This dialog is difficult to take seriously.

    Like this is a conversation that I don't think could ever seriously happen between two actual people, let alone these people in this situation.

    We chitter our mandibles up in the rafters, a natural place for comic-creators. Only when we hear our work mentioned do our chitinous shells part and out luminescent wings emerge so as to flyby and witness.

    And sometimes there is bug zapper and we form the soundtrack of the night with our crackle.

    Subnormality can be pretty good when it's not terrible composition like a giant word balloon taking up 75% of a panel. It just looks exhausting to read that way.

    it's a lil weird imagining the shelley in EtF turning into the shelley zombie in SGR

    also we know beforehand that Ryan
    remains a drunk

    so that's not particularly uplifting either

    Uuh, why not apply the lipstick-laser directly on the door?
