Ugh, so sorry for the delay on this one. I won’t gross you out with the details of my illness and just say it was gross. So this week we’re headed back to the brownest spot on the map, Templar Arizona as we read deeper into chapter three. Mostly we talk about pacing, why it’s [...]

I hope you like the old-school Digital Strips, because that’s how this episode is gonna roll. There is a definite streak of disagreement running through this podcast. Jason and I could not seem to find any common ground and you, the good listeners get to reap the benefits. We set our sites on Super Normal [...]

In lieu of more talky-talky this week, we’ll try to bring you some news the old-school DS way, via short, succinct, savory blog posts. And what better way to kick off the week than with an amazing comic from a new face.

Scott McCloud, finder of all things amazing and new, blogs briefly about Emily Carroll, the creator behind the overnight success that is His Face All Red. Steve mentioned in our (now lost to the Interether) most recent episode that I probably recognized her name from combining poet Emily Dickinson and author Lewis Carroll, which is entirely possible. The entire comic, all ten, infinitely-canvassed pages of it, is incredibly haunting and does a great job of evoking that classic horror style in the vein of Edgar Allan Poe.

Do as the McCloud commands and demand a larger, more consolidated presence for this next up-and-coming webcomics star!

Sometimes it rains pennies from Heaven. Sometimes it rains cats and dogs. And sometimes those cats and dogs go poop in the air and the turds land on your face. Metaphorically, that’s what happened to episode 220. Due to some technical hurdles I don’t have anything to post for you guys and I’m very sorry [...]

Super sorry for the delay folks, not sure why I was dumb last weekend, I just was. This week we take an in depth look at Faraday the Blob, a comic that is so web comics that I could just say that and be done with it all. But I’ve been told that that is [...]

There are some weeks where I get the show down and think, “Man, I’m glad I don’t have to listen to that again,” but there are others where I can’t wait to download it, put it in my own mp3 player and listen to Jason make a fool of himself over and over again. This [...]

Does it take a lot these days to impress you? Then you’re not alone. After countless examples of absolute turd-knockers blinding innocent bystanders with science, one of them finally get’s a taste of his own medicine. String Theory by Beckey Grundy starts in a hospital with it’s main character learning that he lost his eyes. [...]

It’s time we go back to what this podcast was always supposed to be about: Two guys with very different tastes in comics telling each other how stupid the other one is. We take on two very different comics this week. The very political Grumpiverse an the very cute The Dawn Chapel. Both are new [...]

Chances are, if you own a webcomics-inspired T-shirt, it came from the TopatoCo home office. This massive warehouse of all our greatest webcomics fantasies houses merch from pretty much every single comic published on the web, or at least the ones worth mentioning.

Fitting, then, that Bill and Paul have joined the fold with their latest foray, Not Invented Here. Congrats, guys! A comic as fine as this deserves to be in such outstanding, distinguished company.

I had really hoped to take this for a spin myself but given my current, hiatused state in the realm of webcomics, it’s probably not money well spent at this juncture. However, if you, as a budding creator looking to take your craft to the next level, want to take advantage of this discounted price ($47 now, will jump to higher price on Friday) then now is the time to do it!

I had time to look through the preview that is available to anyone willing to sign up for it and while the format comes across as a bit crowded and less-than-professional, the material seemed to be of good use, depending on the hands it ends up in. Many webcomics luminaries have testified to the success that can be found with this program, so check it out if you’re looking to make some dough off your funny doodles.
