When a webcomic updates but you don't want to make a huge deal out of it, what you do

Does Munchy have a real name yet?

EDIT: is that her real name?

EDIT: Is Rayne Sohmer Adam, upon him bestowed the right and duty of naming all the creatures of the land?

Fuck you, Betty.

You were warned.

So I just caught up on Dr. McNinja and HOLY FUCK MY MIND IT HURTS. Everything simultaneously makes sense in an way that doesn't make sense. This may be the only webcomic that I'm tempted to buy the books for.

You were warned.

It doesn't count when people keep linking it.

Edit: This is like....


The Prince Humperdinck of webcomics. Mostly because every time I try to describe it, I end up using the same words Westley used to describe him.

I think my favorite part of LICD is that it's so obviously written by a sheltered virgin that it takes on that particular level of humor where the strip itself isn't funny but you find yourself laughing about how pathetic the author is while reading.

Yes, Mr. Sohmer, I totally believe that a wealthy womanizer in a major North American city has never before met a lesbian in his daily life, being the rare, magical phenomena that they are, or that no one among his apparently sizable female staff would be filing a sexual harassment suit against him for this behavior. How perfectly plausible.

WHOA okay yeah I didn't see that, internet party foul for Betty.

Like man that's as bad as actually reading it without Adblock.

Basically, he kept Xykon still in Goblintopia until he could make it a great mercenary city with supply routes and such.

All came to a head when Xykon's phylactery got lost...

I can only imagine that it's just a big flashing mass of ads without adblock.

I really wonder what Lar sees in Sohmer. Surely by now he has enough credibility as an artist that he can get a job arting it up for pretty much whomever he wants?

It all works out in the end, though. As usual.

(... Though by no means as always - YAFGC seems to delight in the longevity of it's "mostly" bad guys - if not its baddest guys - more so than its heroes.)

Honestly I just have a problem with the idea that someone would get so enamored with their own tattoo work that they suddenly appear out of fuckin' nowhere to decide, once the subject of their work is about to die, that they want to flay it off their skin because he "spent all day doing it". As if he doesn't already spend most of his time doing similar (though less numerous) work on other miscellaneous species who stand to face a similar fate if they aren't sold.

Like, are you in the habit of collecting trophies, mister tattoo drow? What do you do with them?

Yeah, and the reason I didn't read 8-bit theatre was because the graphics in the comic were bad. Seriously, the comic is meant to have a stupid, humor that revolves around the head and ideas of Rayne. Much like we give a chance to movies when what would actually happen in them doesn't, you give this comic the chance that it doesn't and go from there.

If you find its humor distasteful, crude, or just bleh like I do sometimes then whatever, yeah it is that way, and that really isn't going to change much, but bashing on it because some real world rules don't apply to it, eh, that seems silly.

[POS Industries]

Which would be awesome if the comic weren't supposed to take place in the real world where real world rules apply, or if it weren't just a wish-fulfillment exercise for the author, or wasn't a soapbox for the author's opinions on basically everything the author believes about the real world and how he--via his thinly veiled self-insert author avatar main character--is always right about everything and everyone should and does love him for it.

So yes, I will bash on the comic as being a product of the author's unrealistic and juvenile worldview and believe that's a perfectly reasonable thing to do, thank you.
