Something (Potentially) Negative
I don’t have a lot of time to talk comics today for several reasons relating to impending academic failure. Conveniently enough though, the reason for this potential failure is a comic. So we can at least talk about that.
When Gary linked the first strip of Something Positive in his post on Friday, I doubt he had any idea that he was placing my University career in dire peril. At least, I hope he didn’t. Well, ever since then I’ve been dedicating every free sober moment to it’s deliciously evil charms. I even received a late birthday present in the form of a Trade Paper Back by one of my favorite writers, which will probably go unread until I have burnt through the SP archives.
I don’t think this has happened to me since I discovered White Ninja. Is it a common phenomenon, or do I just take my web comics way to seriously?
I think it’s a pretty common phenomenom. It’s like “Haha, this is good…. oh my God, there are years worth of it, right here… on my computer FOR FREE.”

I listened to Postal Service on repeat while reading through the Questionable Content archives about a year ago.
That was wild.

Oh, you n00bs- I’ve been ruining my academic career by obsessively devouring webcomics archives for years. I remember blitzing the Sluggy Freelance archives back in ’99 or so, on dial-up. And I didn’t listen to none or yer fancy-schmancy ‘indie rock’- I listened to Eiffel 65, possibly the most terrible eurotrash techno man has ever produced. And I LOVED IT. You kids today have don’t know how good you got it!

I can’t name the number of comics that have consumed all my time after discovering them.

I don’t know how I kept my job after I discovered Diesel Sweeties.

You’re just NOW discovering the sublime cynicism of S*P??? Where have you BEEN? And you call yourself a webcomics commentator. (BTW, my character makes a cameo, sort of, as a cardboard placard in a comic shop. So does Bob the Angry Flower.)
