Did you ever read any vidya webcomics? Do they hold up today?
>>
There was one where a monkey girl and her friend fucked Sonic and Tails. No idea if it holds up
>>
no they all suck. the only time i ever laughed at one was the bike cucks console vs pc gaming comic where the controller was huge
>>

I get this this is suppose to be funny but its still too gay.
>>
>>720253447
I read that one and 8 bit theater. The latter I remember liking a lot but it's so goddamn long I don't think it would hold up
Also didn't this guy have a schizo meltdown over drawing porn or something
>>
>>720253447
What do all the webcomic artists do now it feels like the entire medium just died
>>
>>720255842
the same way lets players did when streaming killed the genre. adapt or die.

Was it very difficult to make the last panel bigger? That gap on the left looks very amateurish.

Sometimes.

Webcomics are a bygone relic of a time when minimum wage could get you a shitty apartment AND excess for luxuries. Creatives were more willing to just put shit out there for the sake of it, since they didn't need to profit.

He started drawing really awful porn (as in quality wise) to pay the bills, I think his wife left him or something, and he's pretty much left the internet now or at least last I check

I swear webcomics were more popular back during the 00s. What happened?

But that's true of other creative endeavours online. By all accounts you could make a webcomic and make money through advertising the same way someone who do so with a youtube video.

Webcomics were never profitable and likely never will be profitable. Even at the peak of their audience.

>Do they hold up today?

>>720255842
it barely has an audience

Forgot to mention there are two exceptions, but thats because they were in the right place at the right time.

>Be at the height of webcomic popularity
>Can convince huge financial interests you're the future of public outreach
>They invest in you as a mouth piece.

PA and SMBC remain alive to this day because of the backroom shill deals they made.

>read interesting comic
>hey guys big news I quit my job to focus on this full time looking for a publisher to make physical print etc

Many such cases
They probably realized within a week how impossible the dream was.

Fell out of fashion coupled with the net being more sanitized than it used to be. You just can't be funny any more for fear of insulting someone.
>>
>>720253447
Really would only read what friends linked me back then, they were funny back then
Looking back now though they were mostly funny because of 'lolrandom' and random violence
Even if I don't find them as funny now, I appreciate them as relics of a different age when the internet itself was a completely different landscape
>>
Yes. I started using the internet in the early 2000's. Everybody read webcomics back then. Most of them were dogshit, especially all the gamer comics.

Girly was good.

>>720253447
I miss Fanboys.

>>720254693
8 bit I know has a lot of rough early internet humor but theres a charm to that since its sincere in its silliness. I had a shirt of it in middle school that I forgot about until typing this post.

I used to read everything on fireball20xl until I learned the main creator was a pedo
