Many of these comics are NSFW, but this post is.

It all started with Tasty Flesh (nsfw). You see, Martin Whitmore, artist and creator of Tasty Flesh was living with us at the time, and because he was awesome I became a diligent follower. I was never really into comics that didn't appear in my local newspaper before. I associated comics exclusively with super heroes. I'm not a fan of super heroes. But with Tasty Flesh I became aware that Comics could be a lot more. This was art that tells a story, and I'm a sucker for stories. And art.

In High School I had actually been a fan of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal which is different from most of the comics I read now in that while it is wildly inappropriate and funny, there's no continued storyline. SMBC is the kind of comic that regularly horrifies and delights at the same time.

Next came Girls With Slingshots which is a totally different kind of WebComic in that there are no Zombies. I became hooked on this one because it runs a lot like a really good TV sitcom. The characters are well defined, there are sad-stories and funny-stories, and the characters are all more witty than most people in real life. The main character, Hazel, is easy to identify with, and the art is pretty awesome.

Next came You'll Have That which is now running a new comic called Myron and Charlie. You'll have that was a comedy about a young married couple, and was awesome in that like most good art and fiction, I saw a great deal of myself in Andy and Katie. This was one of many Archive reads, where I came to the comic as it was officially ending, and I simply read through the archives in about a week. It was great comic, and I wish Wes Molebash luck with Myron and Charlie.

Next came Penny and Aggie which is sort of like a guilty pleasure. It's about a bunch of high school girls and how mean they are to each other. It takes a while to get on its feet: it starts out really cheesy and hokey, and it turns out the strip was originally for newspaper comics, but after wading through about 120 issues they go from Newsprint-like Comic to Manga -like Comic, and the change was very beneficial. The first 120 help you get into the characters, but the story gets good around Uptown Girl (124), and by Behind Closed Doors (350) the comic has shed any and all comparabilities to Luann in the daily paper. By Dinner For Six (417) all the great high jinks you need in a story revolving around teenagers have arrived on the scene. The sex, the confusion, the secrets! It's a great story and if you've made it this far you're in for a treat: from Vertigo to 20 2020 Pennies is one of the coolest teen drama storylines I've seen done. Ever. The story is sufficently heartbreaking and interesting. Somehow T Campbell has managed by this point to give his characters a life and will all their own, mapping out the stupid mistakes and unconsidered consequences of youthful indiscretion perfectly. From this the story moved on to the epic undertaking The Popsicle War, wich finished up early this year. After such successful runs of Vertigo and The Popsicle War, the current storyline is a bit of a letdown. But I have faith that the upswing is coming.

Along with P&A came Menage a 3 and I'm pretty sure from the title you can tell it's not safe for work. It's the guiltiest of guilty pleasures. Considering I started off my Comics obsession with Tasty Flesh, I think I'm in a position to say that Ma3 is one of the sexiest comics on the internet. I've seen some more explicit ones that reallt are basically porn, but Ma3 does have a plot, and the nudity is always either nessicary for telling the story, or really damn funny. This comic is not for the faint of heart, or the very religious.

Next we have We The Robots which is undoubtably one of the best. Unfortunately this one is also over now, and relatively short. But the style, story, and heart of this comic cannot go unmentioned. I think it's honestly my favorite webcomic. It touches my heart so often, and I've re-read the archives about three times just because it is beautiful, and the medium of art is just so unlike anything else I've seen.

Finally we have my most recent obsession: Questionable Content. It's probably the most famous comic I've listed here. It's certainly the most prolific. I read through the entire 1400+ comic archive in about a week. I was totally taken in by the characters, the obscure music references, the mocking of American subcultures, the psychoses of the various characters. Plus, the AnthroPC (Anthropomorphic Computer, yes.) Pintsize totally reminds me of my little brother, Chance. The comic might also be one of the oldest I've mentioned here, and the art has come a long long way, baby. If you don't read it, I implore you to start with update 1, laugh at the art, and enjoy as I did (maybe not as fast as I did) how the art progresses. The story is always there, my friends. The art simply matures to a point where it's on the same level.

So that's it. Those are the comics I read, and the ones I'm sad to see no longer updating.

I'm currently accepting links to awesome webcomics to get into. I hope to make many future Webcomic reviews in the future. I'll keep you posted on what I'm reading next.
