It's 20XX, let's read some definitely existing Webcomics!

Mayday · June 4

Pandemics, wars, uprisings, gorilla shootings... Time has lost all meaning, we don't know when, where or who we are. The only remedy is Webcomics!

What are some good webcomics you like to read? So far I've enjoyed:

Cucumber Quest is a story of a boy who gets to save the world! Golly Gee!

Poppy O'Possum is about a super strong non-magic mom in a world of very magic racists. Unfortunately they are racist about possums.

Necropolis is about a girl who sells EVERYTHING for one sword. Let's hope it's a good one!

Hannah is not a Boy's Name is an urban fantasy webcomic about normal guys who are also zombies, vampires and, worst of all, inept detectives.

Prague Race, or Hey, did you know there's a world of magical creatures hidden just around the corner? Better not touch any of their magical stuff. Oops, too late, you're gonna die now.

In Blindsprings, a princess must tend to a forest. OR ELSE!

In Derelict, the world is over but Dang Thu Mai still can't catch a break.

What would you do if you were invincible but had the mind of a teenager? Become a Strong Female Protagonist, that's what!

There are no ghosts in Broodhollow, right? Right?

Platinum Grit has genius boys, unhinged female friends and supernatural mysteries. Kinda seems like the author's style would be better suited for porny humor comics though.

And there's also Questionable Content, I guess. I think it's fairly new? We'll see how it goes.

I started re-reading some of these while making this OP... *it hurt itself in its confusion*

This is the cruelest OP that has ever been created. 5 stars.

Munkus Beaver · June 4

Man, real rude putting poppy AND cucu quest in there

Havelock2.0 · June 4

Poppy and Cucumber are still going?? Dang I haven’t checked those for like a couple years.

Poppy still in the light web novel format it changed to?

BahamutZERO · June 4

What's there is still good even if they are long since stopped being updated!

Quantum Tiger · June 4

This is an act of pure malice

Mayday · June 4

@Havelock2.0 all of the comics in the OP are dead lol

BahamutZERO · June 4

especially questionable content

pour one out for Webcomics

crwth · June 4

webcomics suck

HeadCreeps · June 4

You can add Never Satisfied to the OP

The creator has called it quits and is moving on to something else, albeit with some of the same or similar characters

Endless_Serpents · June 4

I wonder even today how Cucumber Quest would end. I was no secret Nightmare Knight’s heart wasn’t in it, going so far as to sabotage Noise Master when they would have won. So it was the fairy godmother character that was causing the heroic cycle? Would it be deemed somehow necessary? Then, obviously, stopped anyway.

Peewi · June 4

Remember Vibe? That was a cool comic.

Neveron · June 4

Remember... what was it called? The one that was out in Antarctica or something? Its name was "Alpha" something, I think?

My favorite thing about when webcomics die is that they are *always* preceded by the author proclaiming"good news, I got my shit together! Regular updates coming every week from now on!"

Commander Zoom · June 4

Their shit was not, in fact, together.

statler · June 5

I'm just glad Boxer Hockey didn't make this list. That must mean it's coming back from hiatus real soon.

Honestly this one is probably for the best. As it went on it seemed really all over the place and I had no idea what it was trying to build toward. And then I found out the author was pretty much winging it and everything made sense. Also most of the cast were assholes with little to no redeeming qualities.

Man in the Mists · June 5

Another one to add to the OP is Schlock Mercenary, though that one is rare in that it's an actually finished comic.

As for still running comics, Girl Genius is jumping off the stabilized path.

Centipede Damascus · June 5

man, what has Jake Wyatt been up to for the last few years anyhow

Endless_Serpents · June 5

Didn’t Ssssss end properly? Or end, at least. I’m sure they got back home. It was shortly after that the author got lost for a bit.

Mayday · June 5

Yeah, I was specifically aiming for discontinued, not finished comics.
I'll expand the OP today.

I'd consider them as still being lost, but I don't have anything good to say about fundie Christians.

yeah, I feel bad for them... apparently they'd just started to grapple with some of their social-anxiety issues when the real pandemic came along, and (as happens all too often) they fell in with a cult who offered (very conditional) support and community to someone needy and vulnerable.

latchkey Kingdom

Endless_Serpents · June 5

Oh they still like that huh. I gave them space after than and never looked again.

Endless_Serpents · June 5

In lighter news, I’ve never read Latchkey, but one day I will… and that’ll last me months!
