Over the last couple days I waded through all of my comics. It wasn't too tough since I've only got about 570. This would probably be a chore for those of you in the thousands.
I was curious to see what comic gems were floating around in there that I'd forgotten about. I was surprised at what I found.
I started off slowly. Early on I used a lot of references to comics I was currently reading, like Diesel Sweeties and Goats. My comics were more extensions of them than stand alone comics in their own rights.
At some point I started easing into making my own comics. Then we started the comic competitions. That spawned quite a few. I started using comics more to punctuate things I was talking about in the forums.
It's obvious what my style of choice is. Of my 570 or so comics, just over 20% of them are the exploding dog stickmen, more often than not on the diesel1 background. I think I tend to focus more on the dialogue than the characters, backgrounds or props.
Let's not forget the wirthling sucks phenomenon. Almost 9% of my comics are about dissing wirthling in one way or another. Who would have thought that one silly comic contest could have spawned that?
There are also a fair number of comics I just can't figure out. I honestly can't figure out what the fuck I was thinking when I did them. If I did a lot of comic making drunk I'd guess it was that. But I don't. So I dunno.
So I made a few sets while I was going through.
Here are the comics I though were pretty funny, and stood fairly well on their own. There are only a little over 30.
I had to make a wirthling sucks set, too. I think most of these are pretty funny, but I don't know how well they stand up to people who aren't privy to the whole inside joke thing.
I also make sets for all my stickmen comics, since I really enjoy them. There's set one and two.
So if you're interested join me in my walk through comic history. If you're not, then shove off.
