Webcomic Deer Rectory

So I've been told :v still working out some kinks.

I comics-hopped to this little collection today.

E: This five-parter was extremely my shit

I think its fine as is. We could always remake in the webcomics forum if the need really arises.

Gigi of Cucumber Quest made a short(ish?) standalone comic that I think is absolutely worth your time.
Her own description of it was; "For the past while I’ve been working on a comic called Lady of the Shard, about an acolyte in love with a goddess. It’s somewhat experimental and more than a little gay."
Please look at it.

Very, very good. Thank you!

LotS is soooo silly

Reading a webcomic that shall remain nameless:

....
This is not good.
....
The plot makes no sense at all.
..
....
Why am I still reading this, it's not going to get any better.
...
..
God dammit I think I might actually be getting attached to the characters.

I am still reading it, somebody save me from this abyss of badly written near-porn.

Oh thank god, it's over. I don't know how much more poorly drawn hippie lesbian I could take.

That post about bad webcomics just made me realize that nobody's forced me to remember the existence of LICD at any point in the last several years now, so thanks for that everybody, and sorry for breaking our good streak.

I have to admit it's hard to wring much to discuss out of a post that doesn't tell me what comic it is about.

Yeah i dont know what we're supposed to get from that post other than somewhere, a bad comic exists

Performative disgust can be fun, but engaging critically is so much more satisfying

To hippie grandpas like me anyway

Probably a good point.
Here, discuss.

If not Not Good, at the very least it is Not For Me.

it's not that good artistically but it does have humour. i guess.

Please tag as NSFW!

Oh, sorry! I thought that had been clear!

This is indeed a very bad comic to begin with! It's disappointing as a reader to see the author dwelling on the most facile and sexiest aspects of the subject matter her work explores; I haven't read the entirety of it yet obviously, but it seems like what starts out as a tedious focus becomes more of a trapping as she becomes more familiar with the medium and storytelling techniques.

I actually really enjoy the composition of the newest strips; the character design and expressions are well-crafted too (except for a bit of a tendency for all the young skinny dark-haired characters to be hard to tell apart), and the story is pretty followable when read backwards which speaks to good pacing. The dialogue is probably her weakest aspect right now; it's not so much bad as still inelegant, I think, just not caught up to her level of development with other aspects of the strip. You can see the characters' character and relationships implicitly, but there's a level of artificiality to it because it tries a bit too hard to be clever and punchy. Feels a little overwrought.

I am interested in reading more than I have yet, though. Partially because I am a sucker for stories about various weird people coming to terms with their weirdness and finding a place for themselves in the world outside of the boundaries of the social scripts they're given, and partially because it includes a lot of things and people you don't see much in other media. I am glad to see the work matured with the author, and hope she and it continue to mature.

It's fine a52.

Ah, and I missed the "near-porn" comment. At least no one else in the room seemed to notice.

*stuff*

To be fair, I don't think I actually read all of it, my browser crashed at one point and I figured that that was enough for one night. And it's also kind of my fault for diving headfirst into something I knew I wouldn't enjoy from the get go.

Oh, good! I was afraid I had gotten you fired or detentioned or something.
