I actually sort of respect the "Cobra" guy*, as low-rent amateur Web critics go**; he at least has the guts to say "well, this is my call" and doesn't seem to believe that his lack of comprehension is in and of itself a virtue or proof of the strip's faultiness. Also, he doesn't use the super-twee "X out of 10" thing that otherwise seems ubiquitous.

* I presume "Cobra" is male; feel free to replace "he" with pronouns of your choice.
** Yes, yes, I know, glass houses.

Yeah, I was surprised Cobra didn't like Achewood, he usually is fairly adventurous.

I was also surpised that they liked Dinosaur Comics.  (Maybe there's hope?)

They liked Acid Keg a lot.  As well they should.

They liked Acid Keg a lot.  As well they should.

I looked up a few other comics that I read (rarely), and they all got slammed, so I looked up our own Steve Hogan's Acid Keg. The few people who wrote enjoyed it.

* cough, cough *

[Steve Hogan]

Only two people reviewed it.  If I drew big tits on Froot ##### Lion, THEN you'd see some action.

EDIT: That should say P-a-n-t-s up there.  Did R. Stevens set the controls on this board too?

That's just our way of remembering where we came from.

Now you owe each other a coke, a pepsi and a ****.

I must admit to not reading any other web comic anymore.

I was reading Scary-Go-Round for awhile, but fell behind and then caught up only to find that he changed the artwork to make it somehow uglier and then I kinda lost interest.

I was reading Acid Keg until it started being a continuing story with a plot and stuff.  Not that there's anything wrong with that, but I'd never keep up.

I do read Zeldman.com and The New York Times kinda regularly, although there are no funny pictures there.

[AugustWest]

I don't read any others on a daily basis, but I do go and catch up every once in awhile on a few.  I like You Darn Kid a lot, also Cat and Girl.  The Perry Bible Fellowship is great.  But I don't feel compelled to read them everyday the way I do w/Achewood.

[starlight]

Yeah, I only read achewood on a consistent basis.
I have been reading Questionable Content again after accidently dropping it in October
plus I read a couple non-regular comics.. one that's MWF (FH) and another that is on break right now.

I used to read around 40, but that was too hardcore to keep up with obviously.  I do figure I may purchase more megatokyo books though since I found it was easier to read the strip in manga format.

As for that furry stuff... ahah.  reminds me of this one community on lj I read where this furry came in ganging up on another for not letting the guy have his stuffed Barney fantasy.. ew.

I read Achewood, Scary Go Round, Wigu, Goats, Diesel Sweeties, Sam and Fuzzy, Something Positive, Acid Keg, Perry Bible Fellowship, Penny Arcade, PvP, Shaw Island, Butternut Squash, Cat and Girl and Real Life Comics. I'm not 100% in love with all of them, and Achewood's probably the only one I read daily. The rest I might miss a few days and then catch up.

It's quickly becoming clear that, out of all of us, I am the one who spends the most time glued to the internet.

[V-Adore]

I read Achewood, Diesel Sweeties, Goats, Penny Arcade, and Narbonic daily or semi-daily, with Narbonic and Achewood being the only ones of those that I couldn't live without.  (PA is getting close; I got onto that particular boat a little late, but I do enjoy it.) There are a few others that I read sporadically -- Slow Wave and Cat and Girl come to mind. There are a few in strange liminal states; I need to start reading Acid Keg, and Wigu has, of course, recently stopped being an active part of my life.

Terrible confession: I really, really don't like Something Positive, and I have my doubts I ever will. Le sigh.

Honey.  I don't read Something Positive and never have, so I have no idea aesthetically why it repels you.  However, I must ask -- Why are you apologizing for not liking it?  You are entitled to your taste and opinion.  You needn't apologize for it.  Like (and dislike) what you will.  We'll still love you hereabouts.

Thanks. I'm sorry, but I get really defensive about SP; it seems to have become the comic that everyone I know except me reads and adores beyond all others, and I can't stand it. Just cannot stand it. After a while, you figure it's you and not them, you know?

[Bozack]

The thing is, I don't like it either. The way the main character is always without fault and constantly gives flawless advice and is essentially Sarcastic Jesus, the way all of the characters are really one-dimensional, etc. I just read it because it updates daily, and my brain needs a constant media feed. I should stop reading it and start reading Narbotic.

[arkabee]

Check out what they had to say about The Parking Lot is Full.  Whatta bunch of mooks.

i got the the first sentence, and then i punched my monitor.

what did it say?  what?
"on the humor front, it's not funny."

WHATTHEFUCKHELLSHITPEOPLE?

AGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

This one is my favorite:    

I DON'T GET IT BECAUSE THEY DON'T TELL ME WHEN I SHOULD LAUGH

WE DEMAND "LOLS" AND EMBEDDED .WAVS OF RIMSHOTS

It has sort of a St. Zartan feel to it, but it also has the economy and wit of Arkabee.

So who wrote this?

biting back peals of laughter at the thought of wit or economy, it was most definitely not me because the post would have looked alot more like:

"AAGHGGGGGGGHHHHHH."

Narbonic updates daily and is much happier in general, yes. That said, I get your reasoning; I read DS mostly because it's not taxing and I can rely on a laugh a day, even if it's a kind of strange, "huh" sort of laugh.
