L33t. And long, meandering "quest" comics that never, in 50+ pages, ever manage to do anything or go anywhere.

I hate comics with big archives who only have the ***big_calendar*** page...

wait for it...

And the visited link colour is THE SAME as the unvisited link colour so you can never find where you left off.

things I hate most in webcomics? I'd have to say the "seen this before" it appears that people like to just replicate, instead of create for the most part. whether its print, cartoons, or other webcomics. I hate to read the same thing over and over again. Its annoying.

No one mentioned sprite comics?

Are you sure this is a webcomic community I'm talking to here?

I figured that one was a given... And there are some good sprite comics out there. It's just the really bad sprite comics that make it so unbearable. And then you have pixel comics. Where the line is I don't know anymore.

I'd say the difference between a sprite comic and a pixel comic is that the pixel comics are 100% original images, whereas the sprite comics use sprites ripped directly from video games and posed/modified. The fact that they're pixelated is the only real similarity.

What do I hate the most? Wacky college roommates, third grade humor, and gaming comic. You heard me, gaming.

Ones where everyone's got a weapon but noone dies.

Chibi...

I hate it when a panel will have two characters talking to each other, and the first line of dialogue is on the RIGHT and the second line is on the LEFT.

English reads left to right, assholes! ARGH!

comics with excessive violence sicken me.

Comics that claim to be daily but frequently fall behind for a day or two before catching up irritate me.

...What?

I also hate comics that appear to have a good story and art but never update.

Sprite, college, cut and paste, superhero, gaming, RPGing comics.

Using Old English words to get me interested in forum threads...you heard me, McDuff!

Er...otherwise...I don't think I read enough of them to comment...

And as for that unwarranted attack on third grade humour...hang on...my characters are in grade five...oh. That's okay then...

I hate comics with great art and writing, where the artists just quit, or are on hiatus for five months at a time.

They all seem too easy to classify. Like, webcartoonists think of the specific nerd they're trying to reach and do a comic about it.

Smight · Post by **Smight** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:19 am

I don't know... I think the webtoonist is that kind of nerd and that's the problem. It all is so one dimentional because they usually find something they like and bastardize it by cutting out everything they don't like without adding anything new. Enter the Megaman Sprite comic and the manga where everyone turns chibi randomly and in general overreacts to everything.

I hate webcomics that suck.

Er...wait, no...I love webcomics that suck! I just have an affectionate attitude towards kitsch, I think...

Um, what was the question again...?

KeenCrow · Post by **KeenCrow** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 1:44 am

I generally dislike webcomics that are full of pointless violence and profanity. I'm not saying those things are bad, I just don't like it when they are completely and utterly pointless. Also, I don't like comics that whore for hits/money/links. Very annoying. Very, very annoying.

Sippan · Post by **Sippan** » Tue Jan 25, 2005 3:10 am

I greatly dislike a whole bunch of things...

1. Stickmen
2. Too much being political, too little being funny
3. Every second comic is not a comic, but instead an homage or awareness day or remembering something that happened on that day at some point in history
4. Bashing America all the time in ways that aren't even creative
5. Humor that isn't funny, i.e. characters that say "this is a fork" and that's it
6. Storylines that begin and then the author gets tired of them and finishes them off in obviously improvised and unplanned ways
7. Bad art so the artist has to put in comments explaining what things are supposed to be
8. Pointless random use of exotic languages
9. "Oh, boo hoo, everyone feel sorry for me!" comics
10. The artist goes on a random one-week hiatus and starts posting crude pencil drawings that are several years old
11. The artist keeps telling the readers that they're a) stupid, b) non-existent, and c) not donating enough
12. Obscure, hidden references. God dammit I hate hidden references!!

But most of all I hate when they make extremely predictable jokes "at their own expense" that aren't even funny. And pass it off as "self irony" or some crap like that. Damn waste of precious bytes.
