Remember Shortpacked?

I've heard /co/ hates it. For some reason.

I don't know where this grudge came from though.

Yeah, it fucking sucked towards the end. It went from a funny gag strip about geek shit and toy collecting to the author tilting at windmills and because libeling people he disagreed with online.

Are webcomics still even a thing?

>>83289779
Yes, but now the creators of liked ones make a shit ton of money thanks to kickstarter and patreon.

I should really get to work on my borderline furry, sci-fi fantasy apocalyptic comic based loosely on recursive My Little Pony fanfiction.

I've said it before, but webcomics are the greatest waste of unlimited artistic freedom and basically no censorship.

And yet all the medium has produced is video game gags and hamfisted social justice messages.

This was before Willis jumped off the deep end. At the time we brushed this off as "haters gonna hate", now I'm one of the haters, oh god what have I done.
(Willis's girlfriend was real. He married her and they have kids now. Unless that's all a lie.)

>>83289779
Has Websnark updated at all in the last few years? I recall them being among the early cultural leftists at a time when everyone else in webcomics was smugly apolitical and it was kinda embarrassing to admit you were an atheist.

There are more webcomics besides Dumbing of Age and Penny Arcade, friend.

Try Lackadaisy, it's about prohibitions and gangsters.

I'm well aware, but the schlock rises to the top and the egos it generates are nauseating.

>>83289978
Okay, but that's not different from literally any other media. The answer to this is to not read the comments and stay away from their twitter feeds.

I wish it were. His wife looks just like him

Anthro characters are kinda a staple of comics and cartoons. Since the dawn of art, there has been what you call, furry comics.

>>83289643
Shmorky mocking Willis is kind of funny in hindsight considering Shmorky's even more pathetic.

>>83290742
And yet both are successful and making a living doing what they love. But yeah, they suck.

>>83290803
Shmorky had a surefire case against Todd (((Goldman))) ripping off his Purple Pussy cartoon and instead of going through with it took a $10k payout on the condition that he shut up about it.

>>83289873
You might as well swear off television because The Big Bang Theory and Steven Universe exist, that's how retarded you sound.

>>83289935
He has a wife, and the wife had kids, that's all we can confirm.

I do now, thanks for the reminder. Gotta update my filters real quick.
