cat & girl is nicely drawn but makes less sense than day by day

san antonio rock city is the fucking worst

does your crazy ex like these?

cat and girl lost the plot at some point but the ones you've just reposted are actually good

Ok you don't like it. we get the point!
i think if you peek at the "batshit right wing cartoons" thread you'll see this shit called "day by day" that makes this junk look like it was done by picaso.

ha ha xposts!

From these examples Cat & Girl seems a lot better. The jokes don't make much sense, but they're not nearly as trite and obvious. Also, yes, quite nice drawings.

Dom RU OK

http://www.mitchclem.com/rockcity/images/comic_files/20060918.gif

Now THAT is funny.

That seems like some drawn from life shit.

Cat and Girl is sometimes okay, the real answer is Questionable Content

I read questionable content everyday. Crossref w/ Justice thread:

http://questionablecontent.net/view.php?comic=905

oh god that's awful. are those meant to be teeth in her mouth?

Nothing ever happens in QC. They just mention a band, make some zing and then hint at sex. It is very boring. I still read it though because I like the anthropc and want one.

Hey I like QC. Love it. SA Rock City looks kind of shit from the examples here tho.

QC = every subculture gets the Nemi it deserves

HEY HAY PASSANTIIIOOOA or anyone what is yr view on thelondonpapers' Em comic. They had a joke about iliketrains. ILIKETRAINS! THATS LIKE MAKING A JJOKE ABOUT 65DAYSOFSSSTSTSTSTATIC! the punch line was like "lol i don't like trains cos they is late!".

Can I please be the Faithmouse of the "What's the worst online comic strip?" thread?

I think you could be onto something here. Today, our protagonist finds out what happens when one wears a nylon shirt for just over two months; tomorrow they become a 'pigeon detective' in an attempt to find out why they get covered in shit every time they step out the house

xpost

it's strange that there isn't, to my knowledge, a brit indie equivilant of these comics. i guess cos amerindie is into books and comics and geekiness while britindie, well, isn't.

i was thinking more of the protagonist searching for 5live on AM for a long time. yr idea is better. keep the ideas coming, we could sell this stuff to drowned in sound!

On a Kerrang thread some time back we mourned long-dead K! strips and the continuing existence of Pandora... but that isn't really what we're looking for I suppose

Woah wait is no one going to comment on the fact Dorothy just posted here!?

hmmm anyone remember the cartoons in late era melody maker about the two djs? it wasn't "good" but it was better than a lot of the stuff up thread.

xp

Oh oh and Moody DJ in Select... it wasn't brilliant or anything either but was quite clever in that it was quite nerdy about dance culture but zinged eg jungle and ambient enough for indie kids to laugh along

Trayce. Please explain.

of cat and girl authorship fame

Ha I can't see any of the Cat and Girl comics due to websense. Has / have she / you done a picture celebrating this thread like Faithmouse did?

Dom, you really are a bitter old cunt.

But then again I'm the guy wearing a Cat and Girl t-shirt (actually I wore it on Tuesday but poetic licence y'all) so it's probably just simpering fanboy bias ;_;

HI PERSON OF MILD NOTE ON INTERNET THANKS FOR POSTING TO OUR MODEST LITTLE FORUM I AM BIGGEST FAN OF YOU GET WELL SOON KANYE

I Don't get it... Why does the guy who confesses his indie guilt have vampire teeth? And why did he put the Dolly Parton cassette in his mouth? Are these two things interrelated?

actually Tuomas that was the only thing on this entire thread I laughed at, but I can't explain why

I agree that the "hugging a mestruating woman" strip is the worst. Because, you know, when you hug a woman with mensies some blood may squirt out of her! EW!

x-post
I mean I can try, but...you know the speeches people give at AA and NA meetings about how they hit rock bottom?

The vampire is a long-running character. I dunno - I think Dom's posted one poor C&G strip and two good ones, so I don't know what point he's trying to make.

Okay, so hitting the rock bottom is putting Dolly Parton in your mouth, I get that. But why the teeth?

Whoops, x-post.

Did Mitch Clem use to do stuff in Punk Planet? I know I've been gently irritated by his strips somewhere in print

the melody maker djs were called Herman and Sherman. or so i have been informed by a person who owns a cat and girl hoodie.

http://www.mitchclem.com/rockcity/images/comic_files/20060921.gif

The only way I can make any sense of this one is if it's a They Might Be Giants reference.

also, can we throw Penny Arcade and Dustinland into the debate here? PA is occasionally funny (when the video game refs don't go over my head) but this whole genre of comics that are just a stand-in for the author wearing a band shirt and saying shit they say to their friends has got to stop. wtf happened to comics about talking animals and incongruously worldly children?

also, if you can't draw and just do photoshop and clip art shit fuck you

any artist that photoshops from old strips and doesn't draw each panel individually can simply get fucked.

Even Aaron MacGruder wouldn't do that with his "Grampa watches TV" strips.

Is it OK to use Illustrator then?

http://i36.tinypic.com/24zypfr.jpg

that might be the worst

Thank goodness he didn't use the word "nigger". Otherwise, that caricature of the cross-eyed b-boy who doesn't know what Green Day is would have been racist.

two ppl had to collaborate on that

yeah but Chug does all the real work, Shadow is just a colorist

I think that could go in the "batshit right wing cartoonist" thread.

http://whatthehellpeople.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/e-paper-tigers/

Don't forget: Electronic Tigers and Right Left Center

http://whatthehellpeople.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/totallynotlikemegatokyo.jpg

One comic is ostensibly the political one and the other just about 4 guys and their fapworthy token female friend, except that as usual, the two strips tend to bleed into each other

looks like shadow and chug are at it again

I"ve been saying for years, chug really needs to ditch shadow and go solo. then you'll see the potential i see in these comics.

i saw the same joke in family circus a few weeks ago.

i'm still convinced that power-up comics is a parody of rubbish gamer web comics in general. if i'm right, then it is truly a work of comedy genius.

i mean, come on:

how many times do I have to post the link to megagamerz 3l33T on these boards

Yeah I was gonna say, uh isnt the hoax/parody well known by now?

I didn't like how the author attempted comic-relief at the end of the strip (I think it's kind of a cop-out), but strips like this, and this storyline in particular are what prompt me to regularly read Questionable Content.

http://backecto22.tripod.com/puke.jpg

questionable indeed.

lol

Chug's Decision

ShadowGamer on Aug. 21, 2010

This should help explain how me and Chug are disagreeing right now.

If a person IRL asked me if I read Questionable Content I'd probably just start walking in the other direction

so hilarious to me that many of our Worst And Most Hated Webcomics not only are no longer publishing, but that the entire archive of, say, shreddedmoose no longer exists anywhere on the web. Shadow & Chug's dissolution seems particularly bathetic.

tbf, this comic gets funnier with every passing year.

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/linux_user_at_best_buy.png

i can't even work out what's going on there. my best guess wd be so painful that i can't believe it's true.

http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/bel_air.png

there's a rhythmic jolt between the 3rd and 4th panels that makes it impossible to rap these lines properly. it would work if it were "so kick back relax, let me put on some Adele for ya/ and tell you why I'm running for the town of Philadelphia," but as it is, you'd either have to throw your rhythm totally off or insert an awkward extra beat between "ya" and "while". c'mon, Randall Patrick Munroe, sort it out!

The first is just "Linux users think they're all that"

How is this not Billy the Heretic, come on folks

ughhhhhhhhhhhhhh that is super offensive and horrible, basically NSFW. Has that strip made it into the Batshit Right-Wing Cartoons series yet?

don't give that guy the pageviews imo

wtf yeah thats terrible.

lol wtf omg
