Amused in Review

Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad is a funny, foul-mouthed blog that absolutely savages the worst in webcomics. It is pitiless and mean-spirited, and the webcomics it attacks are utterly deserving of the ill-treatment it dishes out.

Be warned, it's not for the faint-of-heart, both in terms of the language it uses and just how sickeningly bad some of the comics it links to are (and not in a hyperbolic, oh, I get the vapors looking at bad art kind of way, but a that is disgustingly vile, racist, hateful I wish I hadn't seen it kind of way). And it's funny.

A second caveat is that it's become a group blog, with other pseudonymous authors besides the original John Solomon...and they (Mike Saul and Lilith Esther so far, but who knows how many more they'll add) don't have his talent for invective.

I've been trimming some webcomics from the daily-or-whenever-they-update reading list lately. I'm done with:

PVP - at some point I realized that all the characters except Skull and a couple of minor ones were jerks, and I didn't really care what they were doing.

Arthur, King of Time and Space - The art was already on the low side of primitive, but lately he's been doing a bunch of them in an even more primitive style where the characters are just geometric shapes--the conceit is that this is the style that Arthur-the-webcartoonist uses. The fact is that Arthur-the-webcartoonist is a lazy hack, and Paul Gadzikowski becomes one whenever he posts another of these strips.**

8-bit Theater - was one of the first webcomics I started reading, and is probably still the best and most ambitious sprite-comic...but the funny left the building long ago.
