Heh nice list. For some reason, I have trouble continuing to read a comic when I am up to date. For example, I was up to date with GPF, El Goonish Shive, User Friendly, and a couple other sprite comics, but I alway stopepd eventually. I htink it is because most comics only update a few days a week, so I forget to check on them. Wheras with sluggy there is always something new so I have to keep going back. I do not know what my excuse for GPF and BobAndGeorge are though.

This comment brought you contraction-free due to a weird bug involving my apostrophe key.

z'ohmygods! Doger is really Faye!!

Well, see, I'm mildly addicted to my comics, so I have *no* trouble remembering to check them. That, and I've got them in lovely little folders, one for every day of the week...

Your excuse for GPF is that Jeff Darlington has no notion of writing for the internet, and is (for example) still on the same story arc he was on when I stopped reading back in March. Also, that all real dynamic tension between the characters is now gone.

[dodger77.livejournal.com]

Heh, that works too. Does User Friendly update daily, I can't remember now. Maybe I'm just too lazy to read more than one comic.

[thorog.livejournal.com]

Don't know, never read it. I have a list of bookmarks I check daily, and I don't bother actually segregating them into "read daily", "read once per week", or whatever. If I start skipping a comic it's time to ditch it (has happened to Ctrl+Alt+Delete, GPF, Anywhere But Here (although half of that was the anoying embedded mp3....embedded music was so early-90s), Real Life, and a couple that just stopped updating).

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Yeah it does, but I've gotten much less fond of it as it's gone on.

Yeeeah...GPF is kinda on the "Why am I still reading this list?" I'm a total packrat...I just can't give up on things without a pretty good reason.

Though I have a feeling next time I webhaitus for a couple months, GPF is *not* going to be one of the webcomics I pick back up immediately...

But the thing is, Pete did that with Oceans Unmoving, and now every slow-paced comic arc is called an "Oceans Unmoving".

But Jeff does it all the bloody time. Surreptitious Machinations, and now To Thine Own Self...sure, if it was a dead-tree book it might be worth reading (although I think it might go the way of Real Life or Walky and Joyce now Nick and Ki are getting married), but as an online comic...who wants to wait a year for a storyline to finish?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

You do, in fact, have a point there.

Surriptious Machinations was somewhat better, in that you still had some weird tension from the whole Nick/Ki/Trudy thing. But it got unrealistic. I mean, c'mon Nick, she tried to kill you and everyone you loved. I think it's time for you to accept the fact that Trudy's a bitch.

Yeah...

Long story arcs aren't that bad. I loved That Which Redeems and OU for that matter. With Sluggy I really get into the epic arcs, not so much with other comics.

[thorog.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm not saying long arcs are bad, it's just that it gets to a point where you're sick of reading about more OU or TWR* today, what's happening with Zoe and Gwynn and Riff and everyone else?

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Seconded. I wasn't a *huge* OU fan, but that's mostly because I was having issues labelling it as not-sluggy. I'm sure I'll get to it proper one day, and enjoy it imensely.

~Sor

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Depends on the arc. Also, some cartoonists are better at them then others.

Nick and Ki are getting married

Wait... They're still not married?

I stopped reading GPF at least a year ago and they were well into that story-line even then... Yikes! I'm not much for wedding stuff, mostly because I get enough of it in real life with a bunch of my friends (and now my sister) going through it.

Generally when it comes to "dropping" webcomics, I find that if I miss them, I'll pick them up again. I usually only drop them if something prompts it.

And depending on the quality of the storyline, I have no problem with it taking a year (or even two!) to finish. I read a fair amount of webcomics. (If you want to know which ones, I keep my comics linked to my userinfo page.) If one comic is doing a sweeping arc that takes "forever", as long as it's at least marginally interesting I'll enjoy it, because I have other strips to read that have the gag-a-day or a less dramatic or long-term arc. Hell, Jack (http://www.pholph.com) does long arcs all the time, and that's not just becuase it's not a daily, you just need that many panels to tell the story.

I am probably the only person who actually LIKED O.U. when it was happening. I thought it was a great story. It wasn't the Torg-Riff-Zoë-Gwynn dynamic we know and love (and I missed Kiki) but if it was some new webcomic and not pre-empting Sluggy I have to wonder if other people might have liked it more...

[mckenzee.livejournal.com]

Hey, thanks for the pimpage. At least one person has clicked over :)

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Oh, totally not a problem. Webcomic's are my drugs, and what kind of friend would I be if I didn't try to push them onto my friends. *grin*

Eventually, I'll even have descriptions and stuff up there.

[jarne.livejournal.com]

[kdsorceress.livejournal.com]

Yes. Yes I do.

FWIW, if you didn't get the memo, Casey and Andy has restarted (as a weekly comic -- something's better than nothing, I s'pose).
