Due to lazyness;

We’ll be talking about another webcomic. Well, not entirely pure lazyness.  I’ve been busy playing with the Wii I bought and re-watching Psych… which has caused me to go back and resume watching all those shows I started once upon a time and stopped partway through for one reason or another. Chuck and Reaper as primary examples. And then a few shows I thought would be good but never got around to watching, The Shield, for yet another example.

I’m way behind on the anime spectrum of things and well that’s pretty normal.

So… without further ado I’ll be linking you to Minus.

Now unlike Flipside which I talked about last post (or Shadowlark Symphony which I suppose I blurbed about just a tad) Minus has no real ’storyline’ per say. Later in the comic story arcs string together for three or four pages but there’s still no real overlying storyline. The comic deals with Minus a little girl who can do anything she wants, quite literally. Comic gags range from sidewalk chalk drawing coming to life to well… even more bizarre things. Most of the panels are funny, the ones that aren’t are either cute, or just random tangents funny because they go as long as they do.

The art in this is a good portion of why I started with it. I clicked a link into the webpage and saw the artwork and nearly died. It’s something you don’t see anymore. It’s hand drawn, on paper… and then painted… with watercolours… at least it looks like watercolour to me. I’ll be the first to admit my artistic knowledge doesn’t flow very far in the paint areas. Heck my art knowledge is meh at best.  Anyway, go read, hopefully you enjoy it.

Howdy.

Not really an anime related update but one nonetheless.

Because in the last while the only anime I’ve watched is Vexille, which technically doesn’t count and then that whole Batman Gotham Knight thing, which is ‘technically’ anime.

Anyway this post is all about a webcomic I’ve followed off and on for years.

Flipside
Basically it follows three main characters around. Maytag, yes I know she’s named after a household appliance, be quiet, Bernadette and the new.. sort of Crest. I call Crest new because when I originally started reading this web comic he didn’t exist. The artist got to a point and said hell with it I’m doing it over… and now we have Crest… and Bernadette, my favorite character (DFC, scars AND dual wielding swords?!) I’ll warn you know some of the pages are NSFW (not safe for work) as there’s nudity; Not much though, boobs, the odd ass… Also a couple of the main characters are… …well one’s bi and the other one’s a lesbian so… There goes pretty much all my attraction to Bernadette out the window. T^T

The artist’s also got a few side comics I really liked which I don’t think ever got finished. The one’s a sort of… zombie movie/comic and the otherone was spawned by the Evil Dead trilogy, and was awesome… short and unfinished but awesome. But the main comic is still going, at least afaik, I was away for a while and just picked it up again. I do that, can’t stand the waiting between updates. I’d rather go without for a while and then have a whole at once than the one page a week thing. -.-;

If only one of the other webcomics I *LOVED* a character design in would pick up again. T-T Shadowlark Symphony we miss you! Mostly for Sakura but a little bit for Eve too. Comic had a great story the first time around, even better the second time… and then it just stopped… five years ago.. wow makes me feel old.
