Let's Talk About Webcomics - OGLAF and etc.

Comics have been an interest of mine for as long as I remember. A lot of the stuff I read is either manga or spinoff comics from animated cartoons that help me cope with hiatuses, but nowadays it’s usually various little webcomics I come across.
From the list I read OGLAF, one I was slightly familiar with, mainly because of the one page of the spider sucking off a guy, which is well known to be shown to arachnophobes on the Internet. Aside from that one, however, I’ve come across a couple of the witty panels as well. My favourite thing about this webcomic is how stupidly hilarious it can get. I can understand some people not liking it because of how overly-sexual and inappropriate it is, but I personally think that’s a part of why it’s funny. Although, I personally have an inappropriate sense of humor. Looking past all the porn, OGLAF has a lot of cleverness in its humor and that’s pretty much enough to get me to read it.

One of my personal favourite webcomics is Extra Fabulous, which has a lot of its posts passed around the Internet. While the art is less NSFW, some of the jokes are terribly dark and seeing them mixed in with cute, white blob-like characters makes Extra Fabulous extremely charming. Other panels have lighter humor, but I’ve spent many hours clicking page after page and a majority of them made me chuckle. The art isn’t spectacular, but I think it adds onto the humor of it.


Another webcomic I’ve read is Romantically Apocalyptic. The humor in it is oddly twisted and weird, but I find it so interesting because the art is incredible for a webcomic of its length. The comic is written in a way that shows the characters interacting, but some of the dialogue and story is at the bottom of the page underneath the images and some of it is narrated with an audio file. For some reason I stopped reading this comic, but I’d like to take time to read it again from the beginning.
