Thread for talking about webcomics. Share your favs, discuss latest updates.

I recently discovered "basket of guts"
https://basketsofguts.thecomicseries.com/comics/1#content-start
A story about a lich that comes out of his crypt for world domination and find the world evolved and then quickly end on the run from a "modern" state security services.
Really liking it so far. Good mix of genres, starting from a standard fantasy world and instead of freezing it in time add societal and technomagical development. Also I find it pretty funny. Not everything translated yet sadly.

its on leftypol that I discovered Out Of Placers (apparently created by a furry artist, which explain the horniness)
https://www.valsalia.com/
Pretty interesting world building.

Finished since quite a while but at the time followed schlock mercenary. Goofy SF about a mercenary company.

On a more smutty side, I like alfie by incase.

For the non storyline webcomics, existential comics, oglaf and SMBC are my favs.

Sorry if it's offtopic but the reactionary obsession with lotr is fascinating to me.

Why Is The Right Obsessed With Lord of The Rings?
by The Bitchuation Room (with Francesca Fiorentini)
<Every fantasy franchise has an insufferable part of its fan base. But this one takes the cake. Powerful conservatives are obsessed with The Lord of The Rings. We know this because they name their military tech companies, surveillance companies and venture capital firms after objects in Middle Earth. Billionaire Peter Thiel has named 10 of his companies after things in Lord of The Ring, including Palantir, the Trump's regime's authoritarian surveillance company of choice. JD Vance has called himself a "Lord of the Rings guy," Elon Musk has hot anti-woke takes on The Rings of Power, and Jeff Bezos helped make that series by buying the rights to the franchise via Amazon. Even the far right even in Spain and Italy identify with the Lord of The Rings.

Knights of Guinevere Anonymous 23-09-25 19:49:04 No.46648[Reply]

What do we think of this series pilot, Leftypol?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MCAdbUaMlAE&vl=en

I find the other Glitch studio shows (and a lot of indie Youtube animation, for that matter) to be good aesthetically, but their writing kind of juvenile and cringe in that "edgy teenager" way. But I thought Guinevere was nuanced and interesting in both its art an central thesis, with a fresh take on the "Fuck Disney/corporations" cyberpunk message:

>Knights of Guinevere is a show with tenderness and deep empathy in its heart for creative professionals (Andi) in a world where the most prestigious job they can aspire to—and that will let them make a living—is to work for a monolithic company that will extract their talent and energy and burn them up in order to fulfill its highest and only goal of asserting total market dominance even harder.

>Knights of Guinevere understands what it’s like to have the output of that monolithic corporation nonetheless inspire a lifetime of dreams and escapism, especially those dreams as a relief and refuge from a hard life (Frankie). This show loves the artists whose work’s beauty and essential humanity survive the crushing, grinding gears of corporate sensibilities and infuse the projects they’re a part of, that make it out into the world to touch other human hearts. It loves the dreamers who see that beauty and humanity in that art and are touched by it, who see the magic as children and carry that feeling with them all their lives.

>It’s a show with love for people, and righteous, radiant anger towards the corporation that would burn out, drain, and sicken those people, and kill their world and fill it with garbage, all in service to itself.

It was good and I can't wait for the whole thing to be released. But it just made me think, why can't Western animation do spacial consistency. Like it feels like the world does not really have distance and the characters just bend the rules of reality to get places. Most western animation has this kind of consistency / pacing issue. But yeah it was great.

I hadn't the words for this until you said it, but I think you're right. With anime you sometimes get a lot more liminal / en-route scenes, like stuff is still happening but they aren't teleporting just to The Place Where The Next Thing Happens as often.

I've noticed that a lot, especially in GoT. Like in the 5th season one character makes a trip of thousands of miles in a sailing ship in a matter of days. Recently in alien earth similar disregard is shown for the time it takes to travel. The general tendency just seems to be "whatever the plot needs."

Imo it's part of a much larger writing problem that seems to be effecting media where little or no thought is paid to how things actually work or why. The only consideration seems to be how spectacular or melodramatic a particular scene might be in the moment.

Travel is Kinda Bullshit Anonymous 18-12-24 06:00:53 No.44627[Reply]

We have no history of travel.So many people out there say they love traveling and will happily tell you about all the places they been to and sights they’ve seen and where they want to go to next. It’s also one of the first things people say they would do if they had more time and money.

But traveling sucks. It’s expensive and tedious. You have to pack, organise a passport, deal with airports, security and there’s just so much waiting! And that’s if everything goes to plan and to schedule. Things can easily get canceled or postponed. Then you’ve got jet lag to deal with, different currencies, language barriers, etc.

Even if you’re not going overseas/flying it’s not like road tripping is any better. Sitting in a car for hours on end just plain sucks.

And don’t think I’m only hating on the actual transport, being away from home sucks too. Whether you’re staying in a hotel or an Airbnb or camping or whatever, you’re away from home and all your things; you’re own bed, your own room, your pets, all your other bits and pieces that make your home your own.

We got mountains all over America too if that's your thing. Switzerland was my favorite country I've been to in Europe, but like have you ever been to the Grand Canyon? Utah? Sedona? Yosemite? Colorado? C'mon.
> The people were kind.
I didn't really talk to them but I got more weird vibes from them. Whole place has Disneyland kind of vibes. I'll take your word for it.
> The people were kind. The quality of everything I ate was better than anything I've eaten state side.
The food in Europe is better on average because they have regulations and sheeit, but that's a ridiculous statement.
>The airport had smoking sections.
Vegas airport has smoking lounges.

So I mostly saw, like Zermatt and Lake Geneva, but I didn't even go to Geneva the city. I briefly stopped in Zurich and that place gave me a headache. Their roads seem to be designed by lunatics.

Even though the fandom is pretty dead. I wanted to see what a brony thread on here would look like since I’m a newbie

What does /leftypol/ think about this franchise and the online subculture it spawned? I feel like now that the little girls who made up the target audience are young adults I’ve been seeing more zoomers tell stories about how they were “traumatized” by the adult fandom and it’s becoming more in vogue to decry the whole “brony” phenomenon as “problematic”.

On the other hand though what’s the sociological explanation for millions of grown men becoming obsessed with a little girls cartoon in spite of hegemonic Western gender norms? I’ve read a lot of conflicting theories from academics and culture critics regarding this. Is it autism? Post-Irony? Or is there something about it that just makes it genuinely appealing?

One of my favorite, maybe somewhat morose, pastimes is doing fandom archaeology. I missed the original golden age of pony but visiting old sites and forums gives me a taste of what I missed out on. One in particular that's always stuck with me is this one. Something about it is so earnest and optimistic I can't imagine this type of site existing on today's dead web:

https://web.archive.org/web/20141001001853/http://bronyaerospace.net/about-us/

I love revisiting the team's bios. It's just a bunch of dudes rocking. They're offbeat but they aren't hurting anybody. I'll never get over how social media pretty much bullied this kind of harmless nerdy and/or awkward Guy™ out of existence on the premise that hotter, cooler, and more socially attractive posters would fill the void and instead the internet just got taken over by the most cynical and self-absorbed natsoys, techbros, girlbosses and boomers. Unsanctioned "loser" fandoms and subcultures like bronies did more for giving people creative fulfillment and social acceptance than any corporate-sponsored influencer astroturf campaign or red vs. blue culture war brainrot since. We didn't know how good we had it back then, and we'll never get it back again.

The characters were good and the cinematography excellent, so overall it was a good film, but god, the plot went absolutely nowhere. There wasn't a climax and it was much less impactful than the other two. The film was a great first half… BUT I WENT IN EXPECTING A FINISHED EXPERIENCE! I can't believe they sequel baited with the fucking Telly Tubby Rangers! It should have been an hour longer and with a good climax, I would have been fine watching for an hour more because I was deeply immersed and enthralled by the film.

What did you think about it?

I thought this was a very long music video for a tracklist made by a hipster millenial, like the movie holds the audience in such contempt that the parts that were obviously meant to be quiet have blaring post punk or whatever sounding in the background in case you get distracted and feel tempted to look at your phone, and that detracts from what would otherwise be more poignant scenes. Yes I want my coming-of-age subtext movies where people walk from point A to point B to be more meditative instead of glorified tiktok fan edit shit going on while a child internalizes the meaning of death or whatever

After doing a bit of reading, it seems like the Supercharged Subaru Sambar is the Kei truck I want. They're the easiest to work on, it's the only one with a 4-cylinder engine, said engine is located behind the rear axle as opposed to under the seat and it has the most spacious cab. Unfortunately they're relatively scarce. I'd much rather just buy one from a localish dealership with of all the bureaucracy already dealt with but I'm starting to think I'm going to need to deal with an importer, do a bunch of paperwork to get it road legal and possibly even drive it home 1600km from the port in Halifax. This would end up being cheaper than buying it ready-to-go but the amount of work involved is daunting. Needless to say I'm having second thoughts and am starting to look at late 80s/early 90s trucks in general since this was the last time auto makers made reasonably sized vehicles
