(Also if anyone wants to continue discussing the Yale Stewart thing please use that thread instead of bringing it into this one.)

>>229545
Well her band kicked her out to try and protect her so she had to prove it to them some how.

Also this isn't resolved until Cammy looses some teeth.

>>229572
What will she do without music?

>>229621
Who's still paying for that hack to not update?

>>229626
Shits gonna turn into System Shock on the sea.

Magnolia Porter, author of Monster Pulse, wrote a great critique on Aaron Diaz's hypocrisy about not sexualizing female characters.

>>229633
I would have said Virus but these freaks want to be human or something. I do fear the kids being "worth it" as raw material to Elevate themselves to the next level of their evolution. Hope their Dorm Watcher are paying attention because shit is going down. Chance of Kidnapped Paz is on an increase.

"We shall take the one that means the most to you."

"Annie!"

"No, the other one."

"Oh, whoops."

Just found Stand Still. Stay Silent this weekend. Marathon'd up to current.

I has good timing.

>>229676
The Many on the High Seas. I really don't see that ending well.

>>229679
>EVERYTHING WAS SO CUTE BEFORE
Yeah, remember when those little girls died and that eternally tormented zombie wizard ate a dude alive? That was kawaii as fuck.

>>229685
No i mean literally in the same "scene" usually the lighter moments stay light until a transition.

>>229701
FUCK YEAH THIS IS GONNA BE EVENT HORIZON

>>>>229704
That is where this started, but now we're going into a Dimension of Flesh, fuck I hope the court does a headcount when the boat gets back. Make sure everyone returning is who they are supposed to be. Oh this seems like the situation where someone goes mad as shit goes off the rails. Keep it together Paz, DON'T TOUCH THE ANIMALS!!

>>229766
Even when they are fucking scary the robots remain adorable.

>>229768
though it's a concern of how they've processed "it was worth it" in part because this whole thing seems like a trap they put a lot of planning into. I'm kinda hoping the Court leadership is still alive and the robots didn't off them as part of this plan.

>>229774
I know GC's been getting darker over the years, but that seems like it would be a pretty major tonal shift.

>>229779
Well the robots are using that to rationalize this mass kidnapping and forcing a girl to cause a dimensional shift. I've a feeling that some robot will either broadcast that message that back to Kat at some point or they'll just state that what they are doing is "worth it" for the chance of becoming flesh. This whole goal has gone off the rails. Kat needs to stay away from the Biobot ideas.

>>229790
What?

>>229792
I'm guessing a lot of people read that comic and were like "Oh my god, I did something similar to that! Why did I turn that person who showed interest in me down all those years ago?"

Just a guess.

>>229790
Only time someone showing interest in me in school was when this really small girl kept running into me in high school and then insisting on picking up my books for me, but if she was I stand by my decision of expecting her to ask if she's so eager to hang out with me. Tended to keep my head down and/or in books, though.

>>229998
I'm pleasantly surprised. I had expected her to be some gothy Zimmy-look-alike, but she actually has a personality and useful skills and her relationship with Jack seems to be more than acting as a substitute.

>>229998
Tom seems to finally get the sideview down. Annie looks pretty good there.

>>229998
Guess her an Jack are a Magic/Tech team in training. Maybe something similar to Kats parents. Very concerning the robots apparently know their stuff when it comes to magic.

Also worried about the rest of the group. Don't think they've ever been into this crazy place. Wonder what it'll do to Paz.

>>230002
Paz is the savior of the day, she's gonna go Aquaman on the bots for underestimating her ability.

>>230008
But now they are in that other world, so I wonder what she'll be talking to.

>>230013
I also like have it's more of like, Cthulhu than a dragon.

I love the little ray in the OP.

>>230032

I've only read Camp Weedonwantcha but I'm not terribly impressed by it. The art is nice but other than that it's just kind of 'eh'. I thought what I wanted from it was more of a coherent story but then the Seventeen backstory happened and wow no apparently that is not what I want at all.

>>230048
Well, in that case I recomend Skadi. It's completely different to camp and very enjoyable. CW is certainly not for everyone.
You didn't like Seventeen's backstory?

>>229525
Anyone have a link to this? I can't seem to find one.

>>230053

Anyway, I love Katie's art and hope you guys enjoy the dropbox.

>>230054
Thanks!

>>230013
When I first saw those eyes I thought the brainlessness of the dragon made it have those goofy googly eyes, it's much funnier to think of it that way.

Gais! Olympus Overdrive is coming back to earth!

>>230097
Oh, ¡¿que putas?!

>>230097
So I gues that goop is the stuff she's supposed to use. don't fall in Paz.

>>230106
Didn't know the name before

>>230114
Ohh I wonder who is going to come out of this with more mental scars.

>Those last two panels
Christ! What happened to his art?
Also, is he still a doormat?

>>230142
From the looks of things. Though to really know it'll be how things work out with Claire.

>>230150
Hope he's awake. Cool mix of Science and Tech.

Don't cut yourself on younger Annie, older Annie. Though I think current Kat could use a bit of tweak to her nose. and that Paz could do a bit more nose.

>>230223
HELL FUCKING YEAH

>>230233
Still looks like its drawn by a ten year old.

>>230234
>Hasn't actually seen a ten year old draw

Don't get me wrong, Questionable Content is never going to win awards for its art. But it's just mediocre art. Not some sort of assault against the eyeballs. And it is functional for the stories they want to tell.

>>230235
Thats how I drew when I was ten.

>>230245
Really? Because this made me roll my eyes at how overly sappy it was.

>>230251
Yes, it is quite sappy. The tear is more for the comic ending.

>>230251
I like the sappiness.

It is now 5 years ago.

>>230398
Hooray!

I still can't get over how lazy the art looks, tho

>>230406
>"fuck the Tranny"
Rude.

>>230406
So is there finally gonna be porn of these two now?

>>230407
Its a joke/meme thats crept up from their drawn out interactions up till this point, random people coming into threads and asking "Has Martin fucked the tranny yet?", its sort of like "Are they still on Namek?" or "Have they gotten off the boat yet?"

>>230409
Wondy's Birthday/Midgar/what have you, yeah.

Still rude tho

>>230408
There's one pic of them from ages ago.

Who'd you want on top?

I like all this stuff coming up in these comics, bit more in QC since I have attractions in that direction.

>>230411
The one least likely to fear for their life.

Death by snu snu and all that.

Do you guys have experience with webcomic creators being dicks? At you or in general?

>>230579
So it copies Homestuck's hiatus schedule too?

So, Ava's Demon is in yet another hiatus. This time due medical issues of the author, and that worries me a little.

>>230587
Well... glad its at least on the author's mind.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1003106610/cucumber-quest-book-three

Oh MAN there's a book three kickstarter?
Good god where have I BEEN?

>>230888
Well, at least the guy has no ill will towards Ryan later on, considering they're working together.

>>230888

You know, for a second there I though 'maybe Tim isn't the worst'

But no

he really is the worst

>>231048
I don't think that supercomputer is gonna care about that, Paz.

>>231050
Interesting that Kat decided to take a time out from being a god creator while Paz talks. Oh I hope it doesn't start prying to why they like each other. Don't go hurting Paz.

Oh Ryan, you poor soul.

>>231206

He is good people. :) Still kind of hoping that the real culprit comes forward though.

>>231206

I have no idea what comic this is or anything, but the eyepatch guy? Alls I can hear is Führer Bradley’s voice in my head.

>>231208
>I have no idea what comic this is or anything
You really need to read the works of Mr. John Allison my friend.

>>231259
I wasn't expecting this.

>>231337
Well it sounds like they are just too big for this current setting he's put them in so he's going back to seeing what can be expanded to fit what he wants to do with them. Its an interesting idea one doesn't see too often. I'm eager to see what this rebuild machine looks like.

While I didn't see the end of Bad Machinery coming either, in retrospect it makes a lot of sense. It had obviously become harder and harder to motivate the kids to pursue mysteries - especially the boys.

Whatever form the new comic takes, I hope it involves a lot of Charlotte and Shauna. As much as the rest of the Tackleford gang are great, those two are the best.

god I'm so happy so many webcomics came back this past week, my reading was getting super empty

>>231489

I didn't vote for your story, but it was on my shortlist.

I entered my own self, but I submitted it about ten minutes before midnight the day before the deadline, so it won't be appearing until the next batch. I'm definitely a little amused that someone else decided to do an Ephsephin piece.

>>231515
Was that part of the plan, or did Paz just want some sugar before running off to do something dangerous?

>>231516
No clue, this chapter has been really hard to follow the further we've gone.

Why are fanfics okay now?

>>231631
How long have you been on plus4chan, exactly?

>>231631
Motherfucker I will fight you

Spinnerette is currently undergoing some filler arc that's nothing but anime cliches and nonsense and it's pretty unfulfilling, but all I can think of is "why is Mecha Maid your Senpai if you're in the same fucking class? That's not what the word means."

>>231649
I don't read the comic so I'm not sure of the situation, but a senpai doesn't necessarily have to be in a higher grade than you, they're just in a position of higher social status generally derived from having been in a company/school/group longer than you or having more experience than you but not SO much more status/experience than you that you would view them as either a leader or a teacher.

>>231655
It literally means "Upperclassmen".

>>231656
No, it doesn't. That's just the thing translators translate it as when it's being used in a school setting because in that context, that's usually what it means. It's usually a fair translation in those situations, but it is not the only thing it can mean, and far from the only way it's used. It's just that most people get exposed to the word in anime set in high school when you're more likely to see it used that way than you are in the other ways.

>>231655

I'm aware of the context the word has in a workplace environment, but in this case, the characters are both presented as high school students in the same grade and same class. They aren't in any club where one has been in it longer than the other (unless they end up saying that later,) they're just classmates. I get what they're going for, they're going after the "please notice me, Senpai" meme to kinda poke fun at romance anime but it's just really annoying.

Memes are the most transient of pop culture, their lifespan can be measured in days, and nothing saps the relevance/timlessness a work harder than a pointless reference.

It's like when Magick Chicks (one of the side projects started by the people behind Menage a 3) introduced characters that were based off the 6 main characters of My Little Pony. They eventually got retooled by the second writer to actually have more personality, backstory, and even a little importance, but they weren't introduced for the sake of the story, they were introduced for the sake of the reference and that's a mega pet-peeve of mine.

Off the top of my head, the only other webcomic that regularly had cameo characters from other series was Sister Claire, but that one did us the favor of just making them background gags that didn't have any bearing on the story or the characters that matter.

Magick Chicks? Doesn't matter if she became a potentially interesting character/antagonist, the character was still born as totally-not-human-Fluttershy-wink-wink, it fools no one.

>>231630

It's Gonna Be Somebody by PikaBot.

>>231687
I know what she means.
Its always easier to hold your attention and work on something insular and single.

Way to literally smash everyones brains Beana.

>>231766
Welp what?

>>231766
Old news and he's not wrong.

>>231768
What exactly happened?
And how much is true about some sort of twitter webcomic creators circlejerk?

>>231766

Where's the lie in any of that?

>>231769
4chan loved Paranatural. Then they found out Zack Morrison is friends with Gigidigi, and they hate the shit out of her, so they threw a temper tantrum. Zack Morrison found out about it, made those posts, and 4chan was shocked and dismayed by the reputation they spend all their time building being the reputation they have.

>>231774
Well, I've heard over tumblr that Gigidigi on twitter has a kind of rotten personality and manged to create a circlejerk cliqué group thing, and how snobbish they act.

>>231782
I have neither the time nor the inclination to indulge in he-said-she-said High School gossipy bullshit, thanks.

Meanwhile, the Unsounded fanfic contest's moved to its final round! Sorry your story didn't make it, DudeWithMoney, but if it makes you feel any better it had my vote.

>>231774
>and they hate the shit out of her
Since fuckin WHEN?

...
Wait shit, I haven't been there in years, that's probably true - but they fucking adored her back in the day.

>>231786
Sense she stopped making her parody comics to work on her less specific parody comic.
Also she probably said something nice about a feminist idea once so she obviously had to go.

>>231792
Guh. I do remember /co/ having generally positive Cucumber Quest threads... Guess that's over.
Well screw them. Of course anyone's free to Not Like something, but I can imagine several iritably childish and downright backwards and bigoted reasons they'd go back on any support and start working on their hate boner.

>>231782
While its true she's not the genki, manic pixie dream girl SO many people had pegged her as, she does have a somewhat dry, cynical sense of humour. And she's absolutely aware of it. But I wouldn't say its a rotten personality.
She uses twitter to Come Out(tm) as adamantly anti-GG, feminist, and *gasp* black. And boy does she get shit over all of that.

As for webcomics circlejerk?
God, its twitter. She's friends with other webcomic authors. Fuck.

>>231766
[pissing in the wind intensifies]

>>231817
Okay, am I the only one who's getting sick of this "if I acknowledge that a trope/cliche is happening than it's not so bad" thing that I've been seeing more and more lately? I appreciate a character being genre savvy and all, but most of the time it's just a character acknowledging that something obvious and/or repetitious is happening, and it ends there without any clever twist to make the joke unique in any way.

I read the page before this one and fucking knew that someone was going to remark how Peridot's appearance was either predictable or just plain old, and would then segue back into the plot after a reaction of some sort.

It just feels lazy.

>>231818
If it's done just for the reasons you said, sure. But in this case, that's not what it is.

This is about characterization. Peridot and Almond's relationship is based around mutual semi-affectionate antagonism. Almond is criticizing Peridot and Peridot is reacting in her classic tsundere manner to Almond's teasing. Moments like these are important for the characters to continue to read as the characters we know--they wouldn't be Almond and Peridot if Almond weren't teasing Peridot about shit like this and Peridot weren't comically overreacting to being teased.

>>231794
>she does have a somewhat dry, cynical sense of humour. And she's absolutely aware of it.
Ye, I actually got to talk about that a bit with her recently.
She cool.
