I'm an office worker, which of course means that I spend vast amounts of my day trying to find things to do. Web-comics fill my day with glee.
I love music, and I scream in a metal band.
Bands I love include 'The Dillinger Escape Plan', 'The Murder of Rosa Luxemburg', 'The Blood Brothers', 'The Locust' and 'Thursday'.
I have my own non-online strip called 'Scene', and a non-online manga called 'Void', both of which will hopefully be making the transition to online late this year...
Enough about my boring life. How are you?

I’m gonna start with the bad here, in the hope of getting this out of the way…
This comic is not consistent.
At all.
The artwork jumps from being barely passable to being just above brilliant, the humour content ranges from side-splitting to mildly cringe inducing (and more than a little bit pervy), and the storylines themselves may one day be innovative and unexpected, but the next day they will lapse into clichéd one-liners that we’ve seen too many times before.
BUT…
…This is without a doubt one of the most charming, honest, feel-good web-comics out there, and despite its faults, I was clicking away until the end of the archive, and I am hungry for updates.
This comic is like McDonalds… you know it doesn’t compare with a proper restaurant, but it’s addictive, and damn it makes you feel good. |

| Awesome. But not a webcomic. |
| Comic: Ctrl+Alt+Delete |
|
I'd actually like to half revise my statement in a similar vein to what someone else said earlier.
I love this comic. BUT the fact that it is the suckling child of Mr. T Buckley just makes me despair. The guy is arrogant, egocentric and immature, and I want no association with him.
I actually feel bad for supporting him before... |
| Comic: Blue and Blond |

| Nice to see a comic about surfing, and a good one at that! |
| Comic: Grumps |

An extremely well drawn, engaging, and hilarious comic.
I found this comic through a link on HateSong, and it has fast become one of my favourite comics.
The characters work well together, and utilise the classic 'young at heart' theme to a very good effect, while the storylines, although sometimes a little dragging, could never be called full-fledged boring.
Well worth reading. |
| Comic: My Crappy Comic |

M'afraid to say that i find this comic deeply, deeply average.
The artwork is ok, but not brilliant, although the progression from the beginning style is very clear. The text and dialogue style is what drags the artwork down though, it makes a well designed drawing look like a doodle.
While the story can, in places, be very amusing, I found quite a lot of it rather boring.
It's not at all bad. But it's not really that good either, the dry toast of the comic world if you will.
Well, maybe it has a little butter... |
| Comic: Beaver and Steve |

This comic is the mad ranting of a twisted genius.
The plot-lines are wonderfully surreal, the simple, colourful art is sublime, and the characters are over-the-top, laugh-out-loud absurd.
Brilliant.
SHOE! |

Ctrl+Alt+Delete is quite possibly my favourite web-comic.
It was the first one I started reading (Back in 2003) and one of the few comics that I anxiously await updates for.
Some say it’s a rip-off of Penny Arcade?
First I’ve heard. There are hundreds of web-comics about gamers, because it seems that the majority of web-comic readers are game fans themselves, and creating characters with a basic similarity to the audience will create a sense of empathy, and creating empathy and sympathy with the characters is the mark of a good writer. What on earth is wrong with wanting to be a good writer, eh?
Also, news for a few people, there is almost no such thing as an ‘original concept’ anymore, everything takes influences from (not ‘rips off’) other things.
I mean, look at ‘The Simpsons’.
One of the most popular television shows around, watched by millions, but is in fact thought by some to be a ‘rip-off’ of ‘The Flintstones’, which in turn is thought to be a ‘rip-off’ of a oft-unremembered sitcom called
‘The Honeymooners’…
…Hold on to your hats, it’s influence at work in a mainstream environment…
Now, I like Penny Arcade, but who’s to say that ideas for that weren’t ‘borrowed’ from somewhere else?
And if they were, why should that make a difference?
If a borrowed idea is executed well, is that not worthy of praise?
Both PA and Ctrl+Alt+Del are both good, nay, great comics, and comparisons do not need to be made.
Just enjoy them both for what they are, and stop being so damn negative all the time… |
