Bad webcomics

[Bad Headspace]

When you deadname, you are literally impaling the queer with soundharm and wrongthink.

Funny thing, you can go to jail for "deadnaming" them in some countries.
Does this mean we should not talk about the dead? I mean all of their names are dead. woah

I see this comic pop up on CF from time to time. I am completely baffled- perhaps someone could make sense of it?

He also has a second comic. http://flashthebird.thecomicseries.com/comics/first/

I thought it was a troll at first, but now I'm pretty sure it's not. I think he might be severely autistic or something a la MollyHaleisMyFriend. His comics make a whole lot less sense, though.

No troll would stick to that many updates on two concurrent comics. Plus, his youtube channel is riddled with Sonic.

And there's this.

He was banned from posting on the hosting site's forums because he kept making threads threatening to kill himself if people didn't read his comic, and I'm pretty sure this has happened on other websites, too. He uses the same username on everything.

Imagine getting 1k a month on patreon for making pun and depression jokes.

Imagine being being a webcomic artist. Just write I'm depressed on a png in different ways every week and shit it out. No actual art required, just do it as a different font each time. If you really wanna be adventures and rake in even more cash make it a pun too.

Edit: That will be $50 goys.

Kinda wish I had at least the slightest semblance of drawing skill, so I could get these paypigs to paypal me monthly for drawing shit with some dumbass joke that ends with "depression LMAO", I'd set up multiple accounts on patreon using different art styles and different online handles so I could get even more shekels, I'd get like 10 of those mofos accounts running and pull in thousands of shekels monthly, I'd build a motherfucking paypig empire.
A man can dream.

"I want to make a low effort comic to appeal to people using the 'I know that feel' format to get praise and patreon money, but I lack the skill and motivation to do so" is about as valid as a premise as any other 'I know that feel' type of webcomic, tbh.

If you ever wanted to read about lesbians trying to save a magic tree from the government by doing nothing but sitting around and talking for 20 pages at a time, here you go.

Bonus: one of the lead characters is a comedian, and when I say comedian I mean the author looked up the definition in a dictionary and couldn't find it so she went to a smug high school theater group and took notes instead. Also the art is awful.

You know it's a winner when the cast page lists pronouns. The art hasn't improved at all in two years. Everyone has the same face, only difference is hair, eye, and skin color. Those names are the best too, like Sequoia Lennox.

The art is forgettably bad in that "baby's first webcomic" sort of way, where there's that stiff hesitance and rigidity of characters and plenty of 'I'm not getting this right, fuck it' background perspective fuckery borne of inexperience. I tend to give the Comic Genesis art style a pass, not everyone Diazes right out the gate on art. And they're showing improvement over the year and a half or so of this comic's existence. I've seen much worse art wise; the characters don't have sameface, but only because they did the rookie mistake of making the characters different by using too many slight details (i.e. eyes are the same, but nose shapes are subtly different)


The real problem is not so much the story, as the premise has potential, but the writing. Holy fuck the writing. I'm not sure where to begin on that. There's a huge tell-not-show issue with the lead Mary Sues sorry I mean Main Characters. Its hard to make a character who's primary trait is 'innately gifted speaker' when you've apparently never actually conversed with another human being. Ditto on her girlfriend "world's best writer".
And christs sake @kadoink wasn't kidding about how this comic defines 'comedian' holy fuck, I couldn't finish the Prologue comics they were too bad.

Anyway, the premise is that there is a magic healing tree that is center of a religion. Said magic tree, the only one in existence, is in a small town. (Apparently this a global religion but the small town isn't completely overrun with pilgrims somehow). The pansexual Tree Pope is friends with our Mary Sues (because obviously running a global religion leaves plenty of time for playing bridge with your friends). The tree reveals to our Mary Sues that it is dying, and gives them a seed to sprout a new tree, because they are the only people in the world talented enough to .

Tree Pope has concerns about this, and the potential ramifications has the Tree hasn't said anything about this to them. Our Lesbiantagonists run away, and that's where we are now.

The pacing is abysmal; despite the comic being about two people in a relationship getting a message from Tree God to save the world, and having to abandon their previous lives while being hunted by Tree Pope (who might be evil or simply misguided) there is often a real lack of things HAPPENING. It is just dull. And dwelling more on just how wonderful and healthy the lesbian's relationship is (because we're told repeatedly it is).

Which isn't aided by fact that this looks like a weekly comic; it look 6 months for our lestagonists to decide to run away from Tree Pope and get on a bus. Even if there are multiple panels in an update, is pretty much a single panel update from a "progressing the story" perspective. Sometimes less than that.


But they gave the tranny stubble, so bonus points for realism.

It might not be as hard as you think it is. Most of the art styles that appeal to these sorts of idiots are fairly easy to emulate even if you have little to no drawing skills and as long as you keep including the garbage content that gets that sort of crowd to throw money at you it should be relatively easy to make bank.

I made it through the prologue. (Barely. I quit on the last page and then went back later and found out that it was the last.)
Yikes.
Like Kadoink said, I'm pretty sure that the author has never actually heard standup comedy before. But I was willing to be patient, because I've heard some long-winded standup that's been worth it for the payoff at the end.
This was not that.
And the worst part was the realization that I had. It took me five minutes or less to read eleven pages and realize that there was no joke coming. But during this prologue the comic appears to have been on a Monday/Wednesday/Friday schedule, which means that these eleven pages would have taken nearly a fucking month.
Can you imagine reading this comic version of terrible, self-important standup comedy for a month before realizing that there was no joke? I'd be murderous.

 

[kadoink]

I actually tried to read the comic, even with all the stupid progressive crap in the beginning but that prologue is more like a eulogy. The artist is trying, but she's a poor writer, a worse storyteller and is trapped in her own progressive check points.

Thats a huge problem with these types of comics, everything about the characters is overtly superficial and is meant to come off as charming or endearing. It's not, it's bland and shallow. Thats another thing about this type of writer, do they realize that the instant they give one of these characters a couple of real problems then we can actually emphasize with them?

Well, I found another gem from someone who obviously worships Steven Universe and Power Rangers.

Chroma Key

Its a noticeable improvement from the other awful comic I linked artistically, even though its tumblrized art the artist at least knows how to emphasize motion in her poses.

But these characters are all the same superficial melodramatic soap opera Tumblr stock you'd expect. I got like 35 images into it and it took its sweet ass time to have anything happen. But heres a real exceptional moment from the series for ya that shows the authors dedication to storytelling. This is the type of writing that gently reminds you that what you're reading was clearly meant to inspire the best in humanity and transcend its medium into a moment of pure uninterrupted virtuous narcissism by the writer.

It took 64 pages to get to the start of the power ranger stuff. It also took me way to long to realize the Asian one was a girl (the author says she's asexual aromanitic) and not a skinny boy.
And then there's this.

Spoiler: This is my gender

Yeah the author is going down the checklist with every character and every microaggression he picked up from TV tropes. Its actually pretty funny to look at this and realize that just about every character here is a selfish prick who gets upset when they have to deal with reality for an instant.

A better title for this series would be "Stereotypes are real". The deaf girl is the only one who is close to interesting and even she's got no personality to her. I been downvoting this faggots work when he updates for fun, even when he tries he's just awful. and the comments he posts on his pages are just...shallow cries for validation. Still, what do you expect from a series written by a professional dog groomer(not kidding).

Read the whole thing so far. Honestly, it's just boring as fuck. The entire thing is generic "this is just like my japanese animoos!!!" in a power ranger genre where this is already overdone, but with LGBT people slapped on it to justify its existence (poorly). The author is probably up his own ass, too, considering author comments like "I know it may be the harder route to take, but I felt like the characters shouldn't just accept the genre they're in, because that's more realistic!" only to have the characters 3 pages later give up and accept fighting monsters like it's nothing. You're not cool because you're subverting a genre that's already been subverted to death, especially when you don't even try beyond the bare minimum.

Also, it's a den of pandering bullshit, if the aforementioned "putting gay people in it just to make it interesting" part didn't clue you in. All sorts of references to shit like the dumb She-Ra thing from a few years back and boring cliches like "her parents fight a lot, that's why she's a tomboy!!1!" garbage. My favorite few author comments have been "hey guys, the artist is non-binary now, don't make this awkward!" and "[character] loves men... unfortunately" lmao. How transparent can you be that this is just bullshit pandering and tumblr trash, because this guy is really going for peak woke.

Overall, boring trash that has little to no substance and every character and plot line is predictable from start to finish. Only good part was the monster design, and even then it was just overdone moth-person and "sparkledog pastel-rainbow plus black" goo monster. 2/10, not even good to laugh at.

The author is probably one of the dumber webcomic creators on the site I've seen. If he was virtue signalling any harder he'd have immolated himself in gas while screaming "look at me! Look at me!". There are several exceptional comic creators on this site, but the two I've posted are probably the worst....well, outside of the tranny porno comic on the site that has characters that look like a combination of emo and down syndrome.

The coloring and character designs are fucking revolting. If you guys can get through more than 5 pages of this shit, you're stronger than I am. The score of this comic makes you think it might be something special, but it turns out that the audience is whats special this time around.

I wont post any art from this here as I don't think anyone who is an artist wants to click on this thread and cry from something so artistically revolting it makes you cut off an ear.
