Monday Recs: Crack Webcomics

Apr01

Some ridiculous and enjoyable gag-a-day strips.

Invisible Bread – ongoing – slice-of-life observational humor. Lots of human awkwardness.

Alaska Robotics – slice-of-life taking place in Alaska, interspersed with geek jokes and the occasional bit of gorgeous artwork.

Luke Surl Comics – ongoing – random jokes, often smart and funny science-y ones.

Hark! A Vagrant – updating sporadically – awesome loose art style, including lots of extended jokes about history, literature, and feminism. Even if you haven’t read it yet, you’ve probably heard some of the memes that have come out of it.

The Parking Lot is Full – concluded – one-shot jokes, sometimes strikingly eerie, interspersed with the recurring adventures of a pair of sock puppets.

Catball and Clown Girl – discontinued – a fluffy ball of cat that hates everything and a woman who is way too cheerful.

FoundObjects – discontinued – an all-text comic. It works anyway.

Mass Production – discontinued – there’s an art to working a joke out of copied-and-pasted clipart.

The Whole Nine Yards – discontinued – single-panel comics reminiscent of The Far Side, especially with all the dinosaurs.

Riskophile – discontinued – stick figures explain how to run a startup.

Monday Recs: Furry Webcomics

A clarification: this is only a list of webcomics where everyone’s an animal, not webcomics where everyone’s an animal and that’s a kink. Hope I didn’t get anyone’s hopes up.

Series that are mostly just about talking animals:

Skinny Panda – Melancholy/comedy, ongoing. Existential dilemmas are always better with cute fuzzy creatures.

Holy Mole: Comedy, discontinued. A mole priest and the antics of his forest-creature congregation.

Series where the animals are anthro and society is basically like ours:

Suburban Jungle – Comedy, soap opera, finished. A model/actress and her motley crew of friends, professional associates, and the occasional rival.

The Class Menagerie – Comedy, soap opera, finished. A ragtag team of freshmen try to figure out this college thing.

Kevin & Kell – Comedy, soap opera, ongoing. This one’s a little more into the animal aspect, starring a mixed-species family. It also jumps seamlessly into storylines about alternate universes once in a while.

Ozy and Millie – comedy, mostly gag-a-day or short arcs, completed. The charming adventures of a pair of eccentric young fox BFFs and their friends and family (including the occasional dragon). Hits that Calvin-and-Hobbes-esque sweet spot of eloquence, kid-weirdness, humor and heart-warming.

Series that go deep into fantasy/sci-fi territory:

Commander Cottontail – comedy, gag-a-day, ongoing. Lego-based jokes about sci-fi tropes.

Tales of the Questor: comedy/drama story, ongoing. A kid from a fantasy raccoon society wants to be a legend-style adventuring hero…and the local strain of career-affirming magic tells him to go for it.

Monday Recs: Magical Girl Webcomics

Okay, new feature time — let’s see if this takes off. I’m going to try to put together weekly rec lists of other webcomics I enjoy. Every week will have a theme, so if you have other favorites along the same lines, name them in the comments!

Today’s theme is Magical Girls. (Leaving out Sailor Moon fancomics, which we’ll save for their own post.)

Sparkling Generation Valkyrie Yuuki — Comedy/drama story, ongoing. A male mahou shoujo fan gets his ultimate wish (sort of) in being infused with the powers of a champion of the Norse gods. Just so happens he has to be genderbent in the process…and when he detransforms he doesn’t turn back.

Mechagical Girl Lisa A.N.T. – Comedy story, discontinued. Our heroine lands herself a robot battlesuit and gets swept into the fight between a group of alien ants and their rivals, alien termites.

Angel Moxie – Comedy/drama story, finished. Three girls versus extradimensional demons. Starts as a sendup of any and all magical girl tropes; by the end it’s also a heartfelt example of them.

Gorgeous Princess Creamy Beamy – Comedy, short arcs, discontinued. Our heroine gains her powers by eating massive amounts of junk food. That single gag carries through a surprising amount of comic.

The Powerpuff Girls Doujinshi – Comedy/drama story, crossover fancomic, ongoing. Every character from Cartoon Network’s original series, and quite a few from Nickelodeon’s, move into the same city and get involved in various epic battles. As you do.

The Nonadventures of Wonderella – Comedy, mostly gag-a-day, ongoing. Okay, this is about Western-comic superheroines rather than magical girls. But I’m putting it here anyway, because it’s very funny.

Racially Diverse Webcomic Recs

Mar11

Every once in a while, a reader comments on how they appreciate that BICP isn’t all about white people (or about people of color, but only in a Very Special Episode kind of way).

So for anyone who’s ever felt that way, here are some other webcomics you should check out:

TUNE – Comedy/sci-fi story, ongoing. Our hero, an art student, isn’t kidnapped to serve in an alien zoo in another dimension — instead, the aliens offer to pay him for it. The main character is Korean-American, as is most of the (human) cast.

Order Of The Stick – Comedy/fantasy story, ongoing, very long. One of the best D&D-sendup webcomics. The presence of fantasy species muddles the race question a bit, but not all the main characters have pale skin and not all the imaginary cultures are vaguely-European in design.

Dreamless – Drama fantasy/historical story, finished. The official description sums it up best: “A World War II romance about an American girl and a Japanese boy who have seen each other’s lives in their sleep since birth.”

Narbonic – Comedy daily strip with a loose arc, finished. The adventures of a mad scientist and her various sidekicks and/or experiments. Amazing for female characters. There’s only the one black character, and he’s actually [spoiler], but the comic is a valuable lead-in to…

Skin Horse – Comedy daily strip with various arcs, ongoing. The adventures of a secret government organization that goes on missions to help sapient nonhumans. Main team includes a multiracial zombie (as in, she’s literally made from the body parts of people of multiple races), and a lot of their associates are nonwhite. Has had some great developments as far as queer characters go, too.

Mahou Shounen Fight – comedy/fantasy story, ongoing. As the title implies, it’s about an all-male team of transforming heroes (complete with pretty sparkly costumes) who have some kind of magical mission awaiting them. Half of the heroes and at least half the civilian cast are characters of color. Meanwhile, queer promise abounds.

And that’s just the handful I’m actively into. Are there other webcomics you like that star nonwhite, non-tokenized characters? Rec them in the comments!
