I've been following this for a while, and have even read through the backlog. The humor is often very esoteric, but almost as often it involves very cleverly written observations that are hard to distinguish from your own, kind of like the way common sense works.
In all it's quite funny, unless you really are the TL;DR type, then you will probably miss 90% of it. Most importantly because the artist bills his own comic as "Comix with too many words since 2007"
Hope you all enjoy it as much as I have.
Subnormality
Edit: Those of you with slow PCs beware, the size of the image on this page may make your computer sad.
Edit2: I went ahead and changed the title, so the thread can encompass more than one comic, and therefore will provide wider range of appeal. So feel free to post your favs, great or small.

Oh yeah, those comics are teal deer to the max, I tried to follow it, but gave up because ultimately, it was too much effort for not enough payoff.
The author is capable of simpler, to the point stuff, though, which I usually greatly enjoy when I can find it.

Re: Subnormality: The Ultimate TL;DR Webcomic
Wow, very, very few comics have ever stretched my screen horizontally before. That's impressive.
From what I saw the art style is good, but it's just a bit much for me. I'm fine with tl;dr type stuff if it's cut up in digestible chunks. I'd probably get a headache trying to read just one page of that.

And if you are looking for something that is profound, but provides more of an instant gratification effect. This one is awesome. I've seriously almost hurt myself laughing at a few of these.

Oh man, Favourite Webcomics? You sure you want me started on that? Hell, one of my favourite things to do is read through the entire archive of a comic and watch the art and writing grow.
Re: Favorite Webcomics
Hmm... webcomics. Let's see, I change quite often (forget to check on some and they fade from my memory until someone reminds me (e.g. LFG (and the other - yet better IMO -comic by the same people LICD, others I discover and try out for some time):
xkcd - This one shouldn't need any introduction. It's made out of pure awesomeness with a big heaping of awesomesauce on top.
Something Positive - It makes FC look like a puppy loving, "love everyone"-spouting, naive idealist. An early example: Want to know what to get your ex-girfriend for a babyshower gift? A wire hanger!
SMBC - Very varying quality of the jokes, some are very funny and some are just meh.
Scandinavia and the World - Might be funniest for people from Scandinavia.
Sequential Art - I'm mostly following this one out of habit but it's still kinda fun.
Atomic Laundromat - What if superheroes (and villains) were real? Ever though of where they go to get that nasty stain of alien blood washed out?
Ménage à 3 - Not as dirty as the title sounds but it does contain sex. And geeks in Montréal.
Nerf Now - Gaming humor.

Re: Favorite Webcomics
I read XKCD and NerfNow (like Urian), and also Order Of The Stick.
You know what you should read? Worm. Here you go: https://parahumans.wordpress.com/catego ... tion/1-01/
Re: Favorite Webcomics
On top of what Urian said, I'd have to add...
Cyanide & Happiness (crude, horrible, vulgar humour)
AmazingSuperPowers (similar in vein to C&H)
Romantically Apocalyptic (post-apocalyptic humour)
Gone With The Blastwave (more post-apocalyptic humour. I think it's dead, though)
Questionable Content (fun to read; some hipster humour; relationship humour)
Girly (one of the most awesome comics I've read through. A shame it's finished, though)
Awkward Zombie (nerdy vidya humour)
Nerd^3 (epic story, uses Minecraft)

Re: Favorite Webcomics
Okay, you guys read Least I Could Do, don't you? It's by far the best webcomic out there in terms of everything. Updates 7/7 and the guy has two other comics that update biweekly too.

Re: Subnormality: The Ultimate TL;DR Webcomic
I did the same thing with Questionable Content, (which Kee provided the link for) It's pretty amazing that it started out just a little better than stick figures and evolved into the beautifully rendered work it is now.Caboose wrote:Hell, one of my favourite things to do is read through the entire archive of a comic and watch the art and writing grow.[/color]
Also...I didn't see this one in the thread yet, but it's one of my favs, most of all I love the Chef character.

Re: Favorite Webcomics
I've read everything that was mentioned here at some point, gone trough the archives and am now waiting for them to build up again. I just hate waiting for updates you know?
Anyway, these haven't been mentioned yet: Doctor McNinja, Dresden Codak, Girl Genius. Oh and this is a gem: Digger.

This. This so much. Girl genius is brilliant. I've been fan of the Foglio couple since the time they did a bunch of M:tG artwork.Poppycocks wrote:Girl Genius
Also worth a mention or ten: Erfworld

Re: Favorite Webcomics
I read way too many of these things. This is just a partial list featuring some of the better ones.
Bad Machinery formerly Scary Go Round. Featuring a British town populated by weirdness magnets.
David Willis' Stuff starting with a college comic punctuated by alien invasions
Dead Winter. Tongue in cheek zombie apocalypse.
Schlock Mercenary. Space mercenaries. In space!
Sluggy Freelance One of the earliest comics on the web so there's rather a lot of archive.
I am ARG The mind of an insane animator displayed in the form of a daily blog comic. Features a whole lot of cartoon phallus, including a wall of them built in Minecraft.
Sinfest. Canned irreverence. It's just fun and once in awhile it can be thought provoking.

This one is high on the quirky geek factor but a lot of fun to read 2D Goggles.
Re: Favorite Webcomics
I see a lot on this page I am familiar with and many I am not. Thanks everyone.
I'll contribute one link. I've been following an artist for over ten years, when I read a photoshop tutorial he put together for cell shading. A real nerd may recognize his art in the BESM role playing game core book. I was there when he started a comic in 2001 and right now it sits at 99 pages. A pathetically slow burn, but there is also a wealth of additional information on the background setting of his story available on the site.

Re: Favorite Webcomics
I read a bunch. Dr. McNinja, SMBC, Red Meat and The Perry Bible Fellowship Comics are my favourites. The last two especially for their absurd and sometimes rather disturbing sense of humour.
