Whither Webcomics?

"It's my sincere belief that in ten years entire cottage industries will exist that do nothing but analyze the psychology behind horrible webcomics."

Edit: Link for #29 is fixed.

As an added attraction (for the people who have the stomach for such things), Sandra posted this rather bizarre (okay, all her drawing is bizarre) picture of Nefertari's nipples, wherein Nefertari looks like a stuffed dummy. Sandra still can't draw, but compared to this early Boy Meets Boy strip, she had improved a little.

Of course, if Sandra could draw, she might aspire to something well done like this or this.

Speaking of BmB, specifically the www.boymeetsboy.com domain is owned by a major pharmaceutical company. When they were contacted about it, the marketing guy said that domain was used to promote an AZT product and they were keeping it forever and ever so it wouldn't end up on a porn site. Hm.

And now on with the show you came here to see:

29. And don't you hate that cheerful poster in the background of panel one? I hated it even as I drew it. If it was in my locker room, I'd be forced to go to the other side just out of hatred for that cheerful poster.

By then, I doubt that would be an option. You're already in webcomics hell, how much lower can you go?

"The other angel isn't based on anyone in particular. Yes, if your friend tells you they were my next door neighbor and I based her off of them, your friend is lying. I'm not saying burst their bubble, but at least you'll know the truth--you have a friend who *lies* to you. About appearing in a silly webcomic, no less."

This announcement is so Sandra can feel superior to the imaginary poor bastards who are not reading her strip because it's become incredibly boring that she thinks need her to tell them how to live. This strip is so boring now, the only way I can manage to read it is to sharpen my claws on it practice my typing skills writing about it. And since I'm doing this without an LJ, I must be a motherfucking genius.

30. Sartre and Genet must be laughing in their graves.

"I've actually had that same 'Good vs Evil' argument with people. I've been on both sides of it, too, mostly for debate purposes."

Uh-huh.
