If nothing else, this is a fun trip through the dusty corners of my bookmark folder. I may have to do something similar with blogs. A quick note: if you want to open these links in a new tab, you can usually just click with the middle mouse button.
- Edmund Finney’s Quest to Find the Meaning of Life – I was intrigued by the art style, as well as the ever-suffering protagonist. Kinda oddball. Not sure why this one fell off the active list.
- Erfworld – A comic that riffs on the conventions of RPGs and strategy games. Originally hosted on the same site as Order of the Stick, I started reading it because it was there. While it’s pretty neat that the world was created by giant Elvises, I never really got into this one, and stopped following it after it moved to its own site.
- Filibuster Cartoons – Political comics from a Canadian. I think it went on hiatus, which is why I stopped reading. It looks like it’s back now.
- Finders Keepers – The follow-up project from the author of Comedity. Bookmarked because I liked his previous comic, never really got into it.
- FreakAngels – What if odd children with otherworldy superpowers grew up into disaffected twenty-somethings? Written by Warren Ellis, I bookmarked this one because I keep meaning to get around to reading it. Obviously, that hasn’t happened yet.
- Fredo and Pidgin – Touting itself as the “world’s funniest webcomic.” it follows the random adventures of the titular birds. While funny, the lack of story (and thus lack of investment) probably made me lose interest.
- Ghastly’s Ghastly Comic – This comic is very NSFW, as you would expect from one whose subtitle is “Tentacle monsters and the women who love them.” Bookmarked mostly as a punchline. Again, NSFW.
- God™ – The concept sounded interesting: “Some day the intellectual property of God will be owned by a certain animation, media, entertainment, and theme park corporation. The Apocalypse is looming and its up to Reverend Joeb Kim CPA to stop it.” Another one I meant to start and never got around to.
- I am Geek – A webcomic about a geek (sometimes reformed) and his die-hard Star Wars fan friend. Appears to be thoroughly dead.
- Kawaii Not – A webcomic about things that look simperingly cute but aren’t. The jokes became kinda one-note to me after a while.
- Kevin and Kell – One of the oldest-running webcomics out there (1995!), it chronicles the life of the titular couple, an anthropomorphic rabbit and wolf who met via an online dating site. I think I stopped reading this one in an attempt to make time for a different webcomic.
- Lackadaisy – An extremely well-drawn comic about cats in a 1920s-era setting, complete with flappers and bootleggers. My ex-girlfriend was really into this one, and my interest kinda petered off after we broke up.
- Last Blood – Zombies have taken over the world, and a group of vampires must protect the last remaining group of humans so they can continue to feed. How awesome a concept is that? Unfortunately, I kinda lost interest after the initial arc wrapped up. The supposed movie adaptation appears to be trapped in development hell.
- Lively Ivy – It was filed under “webcomics,” but I think I bookmarked this one mostly for the games.
- Loaded Dice – (Another) webcomic about tabletop RPG players. I think I was linked to a specific comic, and then bookmarked it to go back through the archives (which never happened, obviously).
- Looking for Group – A webcomic about an adventuring group that regularly riffs on Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft tropes. And Richard. I stopped reading because the story was moving too slowly for my liking; it’s best read in large chunks.
- Lovecraft is Missing – Howard Philips Lovecraft goes missing, as the protagonists search for him they are drawn into the dark, twisted world depicted in his (maybe not-so-fictional) stories. I think this one was another casualty of the Great Grad School Attention Purge.
- Lulu Eightball – A weekly comic more or less about the vagaries and neuroses of everyday life (or whatever the author feels like drawing). Another Attention Purge casualty.
- Married to the Sea – A snarky webcomic illustrated primarily with public domain clip art. Never really got into this one, but bookmarked because it was recommended by one of my friends.
- Megatokyo – Because Megatokyo.
- MS Paint Adventures – Another cool concept: a collaborative comic where the readers vote on what happens next in a “Choose Your Own Adventure” type of setting. Bookmarked mostly because of the concept; the uniqueness is kind of lost once the initial creation is done.
- My Medicated Cartoon Life – A webcomic about/by a depressed, bitter animator. Bookmarked mostly because of this comic. Dropped because it stopped updating.
- Name Game – The adventures of a retail crew working at a video game store that is totally not GameStop. Originally hosted on The Escapist, I mostly started reading it because it was at a website I was already visiting. I didn’t follow it to its new hosting.
