Webcomic Confessions

The place to send all your deep dark webcomic secrets. Or bright shiny webcomic secrets. We're flexible.

Optional confession prompt!

What’s a webcomic you accidentally fell behind on? You still like it, and honestly mean to catch up at some point. You just...keep not getting around to it.

Drop a note about your struggle in the askbox to have it (anonymously) shared!

I ship Leif/Thorn/Kale already. Kale and Leif both seem to have a lack of healthy supportive family -- maybe they'd be good brother-husbands?

More than 10 years later and I still have fond memories of the Umlaut House time-travel storyline.

I was sort of losing interest in Soul To Call, then Tiffany showed up and I am 100% on board again.

[webcomicconfessions]

Even though I drifted away from Sluggy Freelance ages ago, sometimes I still wonder if we ever got that final real confirmation of "what is/was Oasis, really."

[webcomicconfessions]

I did not see that last twist in Gloomverse coming, but you know what, I am Here For It. Let's see where this goes!

[webcomicconfessions]

I am not managing to care about the entire wrestling setting / subplot in Menage a 3. Being connected to the rest of the cast only through DiDi makes it feel like it could be also easily forked off as another spin-off comic.

[webcomicconfessions]

I did not see that latest Gloomverse twist coming and I'm still not sure if I like it.

[webcomicconfessions]

I almost always look at a webcomic's cast page. So I get disappointed a lot. Even a plain list of faces and names is better than nothing . . .

[webcomicconfessions]

Normally I have lots of sympathy for people whose Kickstarters don't fund. But if someone tries to fund a comic project with no examples of their art -- no images, no links to stuff on other sites, nothing -- I'm allowed to just find that funny, right?

[webcomicconfessions]

I've lost track of what's even going on in Flaky Pastry. The parts I understand are great! But half the time I'm just confused. I need a cheat sheet or a "Previously On" storyline or something.

[webcomicconfessions]

The premise of Mahou Josei Chimaka is great, but I don't think it got explored enough. The f/f romcom elements felt like the only part the artist's heart was really in.

[webcomicconfessions]

I would rec Bug Martini all over the place (it's funny! it's sharp! it's weird! it's relatable!) if I didn't have to add "as long as you can get through all the icky bodily-fluids gags."

[webcomicconfessions]

I adore genderbending comics. Especially ones where the characters are put into a situation where they’re transformed. I’ve found out over the years that this is because I’m trans nonbinary, and those comics are usually kind of gross, but they still have a special place in my heart. Especially ones that figured out that they (the authors) had their own issues too. <3

Optional confession prompt:

What’s one of your guilty-pleasure webcomics? It’s hard to recommend to other people -- maybe the premise is cheesy, or the art is very 2003, or it handles some topic in a clumsy-if-earnest way -- but you love it anyhow. Drop a note in webcomicconfessions’ askbox to tell us why, and we will (anonymously!) share it with the world.

Phoenix Flair is great so far and I really hope it's not dead!

[webcomicconfessions]

At the start of the current Spacetrawler series, I definitely thought Joyce had a wife, and was so excited. You never get to see a lesbian/bi woman as a cool competent silver-fox (silver-cougar?) CEO.

. . . it was her daughter. But canon hasn't stated that she doesn't have a wife, so I live in hope.
