When John Sololame (yes, I went there) and his buddies first started their blog, "Your Webcomic is Bad and You Should Feel Bad", it opened the floodgates, so to speak. As he stated in some words I am far too lazy to look up, webcomics just don't receive the critique they really need. To use a tired and somewhat painful meme, webcomics exist in a culture of nice. A circlejerk, if you will. All of these webcomic authors and their fans go pussyfooting around saying nothing but kind words about their colleagues' work, and everybody lives in their own little world where they don't have terrible webcomics that are a hideous mole on the face of the Internet. Well guess what? It ain't true. There are so many webcomics out there that are quite simply the worst thing. They are so agonizing to look at, let alone read, that the mind boggles. Their authors often don't realise this. It's quite insane.
But people need to say, this shit stinks. Of course, when one does, the screaming disarray of webcomic fans, some as hideous a visage as the comic to which they attach to, are all to quick to raise the strangled cry "Kill the beast!". Mmm, Disney movies.
So here I stand, ready to let all y'all know exactly what I think about your fucking webcomics. Yes, some of it may be construed as a constructive critique, something of which I am quite fond of but the webcomic industry shuns as a vampire shuns light. But no, most of what I will say will be too wrapped up in (objective) angry hatred for your webcomic for you to stomach it at all.
Anywho, sit back, relax, or get your e-smiting fingers ready. I'm ready to tell you exactly why your webcomic is the worst thing.
