forget horoscopes. you tell me what ancient webcomic you still follow to this day and i'll call you the fuck out

Juniper Bug @JuniperTheory11/9/2023, 5:34 PM

alright get your nominations in now. i'm gonna do a big masterpost to deal psychic damage to as many people as possible

hit me with whatever old ancient webocmic you still read, or just want me to chew out cause it's still going. this is gonna be mean.

Roxie @RoxannaRachnid11/9/2023, 7:08 PM

Just using this to springboard my own Bullshit,

My own webcomics bookmark folder, frozen in amber since I was much more involved in the scene circa ~2000-2005. Certainly some of these don't hold up (Sinfest). Some are forgotten and hidden gems. I don't read any regularly these days but every now and then I will Peruse to see who's still going or died off or which ones shifted from 20-somethings complaining about video games to fighting cybergods in a dystopian hellscape.

Order of the Stick. Just annual check-ins, though.

chell @alterae11/9/2023, 4:56 PM

oh one i forgot to mention (bc while i follow it and enjoy it i am not sure i'd actually recommend it): 21st Century Fox

Unreal @UnrealIncident11/9/2023, 5:00 PM

I dropped off for a while but I've been reading every Questionable Content page as it comes out for years now.

Noel B @NoelBWrites11/9/2023, 5:50 PM

It's on my RSS feed and at this point I'm not gonna remove it

chaos gf @zip11/9/2023, 5:55 PM

I just have a massive gap in the middle. I gave up on working out where I was before and catching up and just started reading it again one day

Unreal @UnrealIncident11/9/2023, 6:58 PM

I did the same thing. I read it from the start like 10 years ago then dropped off for a few years before jumping back in a few years later.

evie @ewie11/9/2023, 5:03 PM

i have read every single update for el goonish shive the day it came out for over a decade. i was in middle school when i started reading it

Juniper Bug @JuniperTheory11/9/2023, 5:11 PM

Saying something like "you have a tf fetish" or "you are transgender" or "so tell me what else you found on literotica way back when" would be too obvious, so instead we'll go with

every day, you turn up to watch someone stare story progression and thoughtful pacing in the eye and go "what if instead of talking about that, i tried to FIX that LORE MISTAKE I MADE about TEN YEARS AGO" and write their way into 5 new corners. is the fact that they keep making everyone gayer while doing this really worth it? are you that desperate to watch someone stumble into queerness in between their 90th baffling lore dump?

(i am sorry if this comes across as too mean i also read egs lol)

evie @ewie11/9/2023, 5:16 PM

i have said for literal years that the best thing shive could do for egs is to can it and start a new story from scratch. they have the skills, following, and experience to write a new good story instead of insisting that eventually they can turn egs into something that can eventually fix all of its old mistakes

Once in a while I check to make sure Sluggy Freelance is still going just to be sure there's one thing constant on the internet. (Chapter 73 just ended, and 74 should start next week)

Misty @dog11/9/2023, 5:49 PM

I was hoping someone here would say Sluggy. And thank you for your service, I have no idea what could even be happening in it these days

noah @noahtheduke11/9/2023, 5:15 PM

I still read Penny-Arcade. It's been 22 years since I discovered it. You don't need to roast me, admitting that is shame enough.

Vincent Kinian @Video-Game-King11/9/2023, 5:38 PM

Give yourself credit. At least you're not still reading Ctrl+Alt+Del (would've been VG Cats, but I'm pretty sure the guy who makes it isn't reading it anymore).

Eat @eatthepen11/9/2023, 5:17 PM

the last one I clung onto was questionable content, but even that's slipped away the last few months

@Dragonkat4211/9/2023, 5:30 PM

Questionable Content

jenn_raye mk2 Version 9.0.6 @jennraye11/9/2023, 5:44 PM

None really, but I poke my head in xkcd every once in awhile.

Belarius @belarius11/9/2023, 5:49 PM

Inasmuch as Three Panel Soul is the continuation of Mac Hall, that's 20+ years right there.

Hard to believe that Gunnerkrigg Court is now old enough to go to war.

Been following the drip-feed narrative pacing of Dresden Codak for at least 14-15 years.

Does loyal reading of the Bobbinsverse count? The author's up to his fifth (sixth?) series set in that shared universe, but it can't rightly be called "a" webcomic.

chaos gf @zip11/9/2023, 5:57 PM

Gunnerkrigg and Dresden Codak are both works that have really levelled up their art over the last decade or two. I had the first three Gunnerkrigg books back in the day. I have Hob as a hardback, somewhere, in the wrong country.

@strangeglyph11/9/2023, 6:13 PM

Calling Dresden Codak "drip-feed" is being generous tbh

Belarius @belarius11/9/2023, 6:14 PM

Depends on the liquid. :eggbug-wink:

Çyn @Cyn-Cedilla11/9/2023, 6:20 PM

the pace picked up from Pitch Drop to Regular Glacier-Style Webcomic after Senna Diaz started HRT and there's a "Gender Fluid" joke in here somewhere that I don't have the brainpower to extract right now

gummywyrm @heroboof11/9/2023, 7:21 PM

does Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal count?

Upthorn @upthorn11/9/2023, 7:37 PM

Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
xkcd
if you count it as mac hall Three Panel Soul
Cat and Girl
Cyanide & Happiness
Gunnerkrigg Court

But you don't need to roast me. I'm already the guy who inspired a webcomic about how I'm a useless loser that should kill myself, which got linked on the front page of MegaTokyo, back when MegaTokyo was the king of all webcomics.

do one for the various points someone starts reading homestuck. personally i started sometime after undertale came out.

Çyn @Cyn-Cedilla11/9/2023, 5:45 PM

sometimes I just hit "random" on Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal for hours and hours and hours

Every year or two I try to catch up on Girl Genius and it's increasingly complex glacially slow plot

Çyn @Cyn-Cedilla11/9/2023, 5:46 PM

Oh, and Gunnerkrigg Court which appears to be mercifully close to concluding

Inumo @Inumo11/9/2023, 5:47 PM

Gods, okay, options:

Twokinds
Gunnerkrigg Court
Three Panel Soul (because MacHall stopped updating)
I dunno, Unsounded I guess?

eden @eden11/9/2023, 5:48 PM

xkcd but it doesnt really count because its still good and nonserial

chirasul @chirasul11/9/2023, 5:49 PM

QC, xkcd, and oglaf only

Upthorn @upthorn11/9/2023, 7:41 PM

I don't think oglaf is ancient enough to count

chirasul @chirasul11/9/2023, 8:30 PM

launched in 2008? that's antique in internet years

Upthorn @upthorn11/9/2023, 8:40 PM

It's not even old enough to read itself!

Obspogon @obspogon11/9/2023, 5:50 PM

Cassiopeia Quinn

Buttercup Festival. It went dormant for years, but stayed in my RSS feed reader, and I was pleasantly surprised when it came back.

Alice Over Zero @AliceOverZero11/9/2023, 7:08 PM

I dont have strong opinions on Captain SNES but I also still follow the RSS feed and honestly it feels akin to being lost in a forest (neutral) when it updates.

Sofsh @sofsh11/9/2023, 8:34 PM

I will admit to reading Buttersafe still, and Im honestly curious what possible response there would be to that, if that's even one people remember/ever knew about.

Joryho @Joryho11/9/2023, 9:13 PM

Does Legend of Maxx count? Cause I'm still following that lmao

karma chameleon @candiedreptile11/9/2023, 10:52 PM

im sticking it out with goblins because i want to see the end result of complains's slowest-burn demon tf but fucked if i can name another reason
