/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

>>227305
Oh man I hope they save Eightfold somehow.

>>227307

it doesn't help that the comic is painfully slow moving and uninteresting without tom shoehorning romance.

>>227336
I would say that some humor could help break the pace a bit. But as we just saw all the humor possible characters are getting ousted. Unless Paz comes in and has turned into a Mako parody.

>>227358
Gonna be a couple of pages with Annie crying it out. Yea I can get it.

>>227397
Goddammit, we have NOT had enough time with Eightfold for it to be over already.

Sad shit all around

Hopes for Poppy and Crazy Magic Battles incoming this week.

So, Sister Claire has become an illustrated novel.
Oh well.

>>227484

That's the "Missing Moments" side-story. The regular comic is still an actual comic.

Unsounded's setting is fascinating.

>>227494
Yeah, and the best part is that while she clearly KNOWS all this stuff, she's not giving in to the self-indulgent urge to just dump the info on us. It's all alluded to naturally by the characters, as though it were part of their world.

>>227751

This could mean nothing or this could mean everything

Does that mean this place is doomed?

>>227821
It's hard to care about a comic that updates once in a blue moon.

>>227823
Yea I mean I like it an all but both snails pace and infrequently updated comics are hard to keep up for.

>>227823
True, but you got a new page. Not a new plot page, but a new page nevertheless.

>>227836
I think I speak for most people when I say I appreciate it for the artistic skill, but stopped caring about the story a long time ago.

To a lesser degree, Fox Sister has the same problem

I have a sublist of web stuff that I only check for updates every once in a while based on their slow frequency.

Although it's more like "Oh hey I completely forgot about that let's see how it's doing."

>>227853
Do that with>>227791
Since the pacing is so slow and this chapter a good number are are wondering what is the point of it all.

Poppy seems to be doing well with the Three on Wednesday method. Next week should be back at it.

>>227854

Yes because a thrice-weekly comic that isn't action-packed at the moment is the same as a comic that updates with a page every few months if you're lucky.

Bunker, how are you always the most grating type of Gunnerkrigg Court fan? it's a talent, I swear.

Noooo, not the Mystery Shed!

>>227853
>Although it's more like "Oh hey I completely forgot about that let's see how it's doing."
This is why I like it when slow sites, like Lackadaisy, have RSS feeds. Then I can just add it to my reader and have a pleasant surprise every few months when it updates.

>>227918
Awesome, luck with further pitches into the industry. Talking to vets and whatnot and persistence is key.

>>227932
well that sucks

>>227932
Oh you piece oh shi-
Wait, why french blond bitch did this again? She and Lottie barely talked.

>>227934

Lottie didn't like how the blonde girl was bullying her French friend, so she basically insulted her in front of all of her friends. Camille responded to this the only sane way possible: dating the new King of the Mods, and using his minions to burn down their Mystery Shed as part of her plan to ruin Lottie's life out of spite...

...Really when you're making that Selkie girl look emotionally balanced in contrast, you've probably got some issues.

>>227935
I hope Camille gets her shit kicked in.

Hope she can knock some sense into her. Or at least keep her someplace till she stops being super nuts.

>>227972

Interesting options.

>>227996
that's cute hope it can keep up.

>>227984
this is the weirdest opinion to give an artist when it comes to someone who creates and is attempting to make a living off original content. "dont go on this website you might get actually feed back on it"
>>227972
tumblrs entire purpose is to share content rapidly to a multitude of diverse audiences. if you want to start up a webcomic with a real chance of roping in people who are actively looking for new webcomics to read instead of people who accidentally stumble across it, tumblr is the better bet.
i usually tag my updates with #webcomic #webcomics and #comciname
deviantart is getting increasingly overtly evil with its user policies and paywalls tbh. tumblr at least recognizes that the majority of its users are high profile content creators and has changed their policies to reflect that and protect them.
hope that helps.

>>228002
I'll keep that in mind once I finish my script and get some feedback if it feels better as a pitch piece for a webcomic.

Oh gosh, parley is so cute in her slayer gear.

>>228006
Some are saying its a Wedding Ceremony, I think its more the official passing of the torch since the last time he showed up it was without approval.

>>228122
Awww Lily don't encourage her.

>>228129
well, she's smoking near explosives there, so her awesomeness is probably why she died.
I just hope it ended up being a huge firework and not shit like slipping on dog shit or shocking on a piece of meat.

>>228146
Yarp. Unfortunately it's becoming one of those comics that I don't check often because it updates sporadically.

>>228155
Ditto

>>228181
We know there is some kinda coming storm. Likely something they aren't really thinking about. Consequences of retrieving the Arrow, The Forest Army getting restless again, Robot and his growing Cult. Possible action from other Courts even.

That would be a wild shift say bridge gets Bombed stranding the Guardian and the Mediums in the Forest to form a defense to an invasion on that front. Likewise breaches in city proper and attacks springing up there. Everyone freaking for a couple of chapters not knowing who is dead or alive.

>>228181
Wonder why that little fairy looks so sad.

>>228187
Talked up so much, "Oh, its just a fire elemental"

You beat me.

I'm looking forward to seeing where he takes this.

I'm also hoping /co/ doesn't shit it's collective pants and ruin everything.

>>228210
Awww poor little gal is still upset about something

>>228212
HA! Very Cute

>>228299
Mildred's taking some sort of special tests this week. There was a blurb at the bottom of the comic explaining it, but apparently it was alluded to earlier in the comic as well.

>>228319
To be fair, "BEST CHARACTER CONFIRMED" happens about 50% of the time a character opens their mouth in this comic.

>>228319
I'm seeing a bust line right? So Female Voice, just trying to see how to read them.

>>228324
It's true, and it's incredibly impressive to me that Zack's able to keep that up. I was having a discussion with someone the other day about Paranatural, and at first I had said that the best character was Mr. Spender....but then every time someone mentioned another character I had to allow that "that character is also the best character." It's ridiculous that he's able to make every character so entertaining.

>>228325
Yes, Boss Leader is a woman.

>>228415
Wonder if this will introduce a new character

>>228419
Fish out of water

>Rabbit wants to be human
>Rabbit is a female
>All animals turn into boys

I don't see this ending without someone being mad about something.

>>228521
Gotta love a Amphibian Fighter

>>228624
Boss Leader appears to be trying to set him up as a double agent to spy on Spender, essentially.

>>228696
Well, he's right, why should he ask permission to draw anything?

Anyone else having problems accessing poppy o'possum's website? Honestly it's down more than it is up

>>228762
yea it's just been two pages up today with it being so wonk. Lucky there are only three pages left this arc and it'll finish next week.

Poppy needs her own threads by now , no?

>>228775
No.

>>228777
Yea she's good enough to stick to just here for now. I do like the story with this one. I hope next week shows her making a good go of it with the stage show. Maybe the Wolf Mama showing up to say how proud she is.

On that note... Yeah, Sluggy Freelance is still updating, and the art hasn't improved a single bit since I stopped reading five or six years ago.

>>228791
Not sure what's more shocking, seeing Zimmy hanging off of Jack, or seeing her in something other than that grungy uniform for the first time.

What? he went scruffy and found a Zimmy look alike.

>>228791
That can't be Zimmy. Also is it just me or does Jack suddenly look 10 years older? it doesn't feel like the rest of the cast has aged thaaaat much.

>>228795
No it doesn't Are Annie or Kat even sixteen yet?

>>228795
Annie looked like she was twenty something a few times when she was dealing with Mort while Kat still looked like a young girl. Maybe its some kinda emphasis. And where did he find a Goth? Maybe another shocker is it will turn out to be Zimmy. Make Kat doubt her relationship with Paz a bit for reasons.

>>228795
Puberty hit him like a truck. That's definitely not Zimmy, just some girl he found that's close enough.

>>228799
Dude looks like he's pushing late twenties early thirties. Maybe that dark spirit stuff did some age acceleration thing.

The generals on /co/ of any webcomic, cracks me up.

found at least one youtube link in message

>>228979
Ah good no sad Annie, interestingly advanced looking robots compared to the ramshackle look they have back in the court. And of course the monitor is tagging along to make sure the kids stay out of trouble. Wonder of there will be pirates or something.

>>228997
Neat its like the Dubstep cannon

Whack the screaming fish, I think I had to do that in an adventure game once, didn't have legs though.

In Bad Machinery News

I can't believe it took me this long to figure it out. Shauna gets kicked out of her band because of the riots. Suddenly Yumi Aoki appears out of nowhere to lead the rockers. Now she's nowhere to be found when the mods are all gathered in one place.

This whole thing is going to end in tears isn't it.

>>229138
I've heard people suggest this before, but it doesn't really check out with me. Mostly because it doesn't seem like Shauna to encourage gang violence like that, at least not for reasons like that. But maybe there's a "why" we haven't herd yet.

>>229139
I hadn't thought of the Shauna angle (actually, at first I thought she was Lottie), but I definitely feel like Aoki is up to something other than what she is publicly stating her intentions to be.

>>229140

I'd say that it was Camille, prolonging the war in order to keep her hold over the new Mod King and his "subjects", but she seemed to know a lot more about UK motorcycle testing than I'd expect for someone who'd only been in the country for a week or so.

>>229151
Is this better than Homestuck?

>>229152
cuter at least

>>229152
It's not as good as classic Homestuck, but not as bad as current Homestuck.

>>229151
Oh yeah, I noticed that was you. Congrats.

>>229186
The second best parring in GC.

>>229186
Is it just me or does Gamma look like she's been taking on too much crazy from zimmy?

>>229188
She's just excited about going on this trip. That combined with not being able to sleep make her seem more manic than appears to be.

well guess better luck next time Paz, I'm sure you'll get attention I'm a chapter, someday.

>Thermohalia
>Really nice art style, story might be interesting
>Artist gives it up after doing 8 strips/pages because she made the story when she was 15 and doesn't like the story anymore
Well. If she didn't have enough interest going in to even do stuff ahead of time, the story would probably have sucked in the long run.

>>229205
>In b4 TRIGGER WARNING
It's so fucking ridiculous, though.

>>229228
That's understandable just too much time away from it to care anymore its hard to come back to old things sometimes.

>>229310
It's not like he tried to hide it.

>>229316
Paz gonna wants to cut a rug but its too much pressure for Kat? Or will Jack collapse back into madness because some Cosmic Owl brought the other girl on board.

>>229332
Just setting up for a scene, also Kat is wearing possible brawler attire. One doesn't dress like Patrick Swayze in Roadhouse and not have to rip some throats out.

I am not sure how do I feel at Kat continually being depicted as "the guy" of the couple. It is a stereotype after all, and something boring that everybody does while depicting lesbians in a serious relationship.

>>229335
it seems to swing back and forth a bit, maybe she's working out where she feels most comfortable. She's always been a tomboy even before Paz. And they are all still pretty young and things like feminity haven't really been an interest to Kat save that period when she was trying too hard to be girly. Though Kat could be wearing a brighter shirt maybe something with some nice stitching.

>>229335
I think it's just for the dance, it relies on the coordinated moments of both partners but typically you need a lead and stereotypical male and female attire is a good way to signify that.

>>229336

Yup. figuring things out.

>>229337
Maybe get some of the Galacian stuff in with the dancing bit. Their dress does fit the usual form for it. Nice bit of dancing before things go off the rails on the high seas.

>>229340
Its like some odd kinda satire, Kinda how one can read Sinfest, if one chooses to read it

>>229339
>>229340
This is about as subtle as he used to be about his environmentalism, so it's not really that surprising.

>>229332
She forgot her Fedora.

>>229471
I like that he has a grasp on how dangerous the situation can become, and likely will. Jack is getting riled because his Zimmy sense is tingling. Be funny if Paz and Kat were dancing in the background just as all hell comes down on the boat.

>>229476

What's going on?

He made a Wallpaper for the Ferguson thing, people on both sides started flinging shit about stuff. Some asshat is trying to get him with some rumor he sends dick pictures to people. Bunch of crap so he's stepping out of the social scene for a bit.

>>229479
He made a piece of art to sell to raise money for the ACLU and NAACP in the wake of what's happening in Ferguson.

https://www.facebook.com/jl8comiclol/photos/a.177602119027088.38532.126319720821995/606127472841215/?type=1

Unfortunately, he decided to wade into the "debate" and feed the trolls, and it kind of blew up in his face.

https://www.facebook.com/jl8comiclol/posts/606195572834405

So that happened.

>>229480
>Some asshat is trying to get him with some rumor he sends dick pictures to people.

Considering the writers of Comic Alliance and others who work in the comic book industry are discussing the matter, it's wouldn't surprise me if there was truth to that rumor. Similarly to how everyone involved with the animation industry knew about Skyler Page's dirty little secret.

>>229484
Maybe though the way the one guy keeps phrasing it on Twitter makes it questionable. "Hey have they mentioned such and such yet?" Is kinda the leading thing people use to start a rumor.

>>229484
>Considering the writers of Comic Alliance and others who work in the comic book industry are discussing the matter
[citation needed]

>>229480
>Bunch of crap so he's stepping out of the social scene for a bit.
Not far enough apparently.

https://www.facebook.com/jl8comiclol/posts/609660459154583
>My mom just informed me that people are calling HER HOME, LOOKING FOR ME, AND LEAVING THREATENING MESSAGES ON HER ANSWERING MACHINE.

Though to be honest I wouldn't be blown away if he actually is sending pictures. It would be unfortunate, but not surprising that someone who's work seems to be "wholesome" has devilish side.

>>229490
So, bats to him or the Scoot?

>>229489
Thats normal. I'd like to end up doing kids comics at some point in the future, but at the moment I'm actually currently getting some nice cash doing loli and shota stuff.

>>229493
I don't think that sending unsolicited pictures of your penis to people is normal, even for someone who regularly draws loli/shota.

>>229491
Looks like the Scoot. Also Shauna is totally Yuki.

>>229495
N no, what's normal is having a dark side.

Chase Magnett, writer for ComicBook.com, Comics Bulletin, and Infinite Comix confirms the accusations against Yale Stewart.

https://chasemagnett.wordpress.com/2014/08/19/you-gotta-be-one-of-the-good-guys/

>Over the last few days, Yale Stewart has been accused of sending unsolicited, lewd images of himself to peers in the comics community. These accusations are true.

>For those of you who know me, I hope you are willing to take my word on this. I hope you know that I would not say something this serious without being absolutely certain. For the rest of you, I can be found anywhere on the web. I do not hide my face or my name anywhere I go. I recognize that there will be a negative response to this post and I am willing to stand by every word of it. Yale Stewart sent pictures of his penis to women. Yale Stewart sexually harassed women. Yale Stewart has frightened and hurt women.

. . .

>The expectation is that the women harassed by Yale Stewart come forward before anyone acknowledges his action. The support and acknowledgement of comics journalists and professionals with nothing to gain is not enough. The public has made it clear that the women must step forward for this to be taken seriously. And by “the public”, I mostly mean men. The people defending Yale Stewart and demanding that the women step forward are mostly men, the people with the least to fear from this sort of behavior.

>But how can we expect women to speak up when men show so little support to those who do so?

. . .

>When something like this happens, it’s not enough to simply say nothing. We have to say something. We have to defend the victims even if we don’t know who they are. We have to show them support and let them know that we can create a safe space. There are a lot of bad guys attacking the women who are brave enough to come forward and point out the men who are attacking or harassing them. And we cannot simply ignore them. We have to speak up and support those who come forward and defend those who are unable to do so. That’s not because it’s chivalrous or they can’t defend themselves. It’s because it’s the right thing to do.

>>229510
>I can fully understand if the women in question don't want to step forward (as he said, they will most certainly be targeted by the misguided and trollish, who will paint them as the aggressors and Yale as the victim),

I don't. They are perfectly willing to say the worst to him and his mother, but don't want to suffer the slightest comment on their own? Fuck that shit.

Furthermore, on the off chance that one of those women are reading this, I encourage them to file charges. If they are being harassed they need to shut him down, and the largest amount of power they can bring to bear is through the legal system. By filing charges they will have to reveal themselves, yes, but unfortunately the hounding of the internet and Social Justice Warriors will somehow stamp out this kind of bullshit antics. Maybe they'll get to a point where he's hounded out of the industry, but to keep incidents from repeating they need to show there are real consequences to this.

That's not to say that the legal system will be their best friends in this; if they get male prosecutors/detectives it's likely that their story will be taken just as skeptically as the internet has, though they will get past that when the real investigation begins.

As an example, the Civil Rights movement didn't succeed just because people marched in the streets and penned long exposes in newspapers, but also went to court over various laws (Jim Crow) and got a lot of things overturned at the SC. If women want to make a serious dent in this they have to go after the problem from as many angles as possible.

And here's the confession.

http://jl8comic.tumblr.com/post/95294000936/a-quick-note-the-following-deals-with-content

Stewart said it was two years ago, but he apparently did it again last week at BBC (Boston Comic Con?)
