Addendum: I forgot to post this when I got it, but I sent a thank you email to Chris and he responded to me.

Lucky. Now your life has some validation.
I wrote to the author of twokinds, telling him that his comic is the only comic that handles sexual frustration that wasn't utter crap. He wrote back, saying thank you.

I didn't think it was possible for a webcomic to have a star-studded lineup, but I came across Dreamless and I'd say it comes pretty close. It's written by Bobby Crosby (author of Last Blood) and illustrated by Sarah Ellerton (Inverloch and The Phoenix Requiem) so if their previous work is anything to go by, their collaboration should be awesome. It's only two pages in, but I think I'm about to be hooked already.

except for Captain Excelsior you mean of course!

So what, like, a C cup?

Did you try sexual harrassment?

Don't worry about it. They're almost out (of hostages) anyways.

Captain excelsior rocked in so many ways.

Yeah, I take back what I typed. Captain Excelsior and Dreamless.

Mephisto needs his own spin-off. I loved that guy.

Can we just call machinima comics?

If so, Freeman's Mind is a pretty great machinima. If you've played Half Life, I strongly recommend it, even if you haven't, check it out. As of now, there are seven episodes and he hopes to get through the entire series by some point.

I just started and finished reading Sorethumbs. I have to say, for a comic strip that isn't written by any muslims, they sure do insult muslims alot.

When I do it, I'm being ironic. I'm highlighting the faults of a hypocritical society that discriminates against me wrongly. But hearing someone that isn't muslim use the termlike that sets off anger sensors of my brain. If it weren't so fricken hilarious, I'd be upset.

I didn't like harmony getting the boobjob, or becoming lesbian. The joke where the guy tells her to get the implants, then in the next one she walks in with them was on par funny, but it was dragged out too long. It should have been noncanonical. And tying parker into the comic was funny, even though harmony's actor during the 100'th comic revealed she had the name parker in her real actor's name, and having harmon say she was lesbian was a hilarious course of action for her to take. The character had been established as being strange, thanks to the incredible story writing and witty jokes. But then for her to go and use that black woman, then get raped? Then try to get in Cec's pants, and most recently just abandoning it to get back to the status quo? I'm not too razy about that, personally.

The muslim jokes were more a comment on the political atmosphere at the time and meant to be over the top/racist flamboyancy. I mean remember the character thats spewing all that tripe and its supposed to be a caricature of all things horribly over done right wing christian.

That being said I couldn't get to into Sore Thumbs.. just didn't hold my interest. I like some of the writer/artist other stuff though.

Well I just finished reading the entire Problem Sleuth story up til now on Ms Paint Adventures. All 1682 "pages" of it. The funny fan-submitted commands coupled with the accompanying hilarious, sometimes animated, images makes for a truly funny comic. For some reason the images weren't appearing so I had to access their index and download all of the images (thank god for Orbit). Let's just say it was hours and hours well spent (compared to what I could have been doing, i.e. nothing).

I was going through that, then it deleted my saved progress for some reason, so I stopped. I had gone too far.

Or, you cleared your cookies.

I'm going to continue on the assumption it was no fault of mine.

Spoken like a true American!
