I'm absolutely hopeless at this, aren't I? I start one project and before I get even one twelth of the way through, I drop it and move onto something else... so if anyone tries reading the archives and notices that I started an episodic review of Kampfer, it ain't going to be finished... however, as a result of that original endeavour, I will probably review a series from time to time...

but on the other hand... I'm about to dredge up a few old favourite (web)comics from around the place and get to work on this blog's comic!

yes... and I damn well hope it goes for longer than a week because I've read more than 7 years worth of webcomic (with it's ups and downs and fillers etc.) in about a week...

yeah.
http://www.venusenvycomic.com/
for those who want to look... and yes I've read it from the first page to the most recent...

just gotta be careful of Deus ex machina (god from machine, or rather a plot device that solves a difficult problem, often with the introduction of a new character, ability or object (wikipedia, Deus ex machina). yes I paraphrased that slightly).

so...
well that's all I had to say... so I'll leave with a list of sites that I'm going to reference for humor and a link to that wikipedia page.

http://www.megatokyo.com/ - Fred (aka Piro) was my original inspiration for drawing, it's technically not fair that I steal his work, but then again I want to at least honour him a bit... so yah

http://www.dominic-deegan.com/ - I don't want to use as many puns as Mookie does, but well... Dominic Deegan, Oracle for Hire has been a great read... when I managed to read it.

http://www.paradox-lost.com/ - A more recent read (before Venus envy) which had some humor and plotness in it... I might steal a leaf from this one for the sake of a side-plot with some entertainment... but then again I might not. the artist seems to have stopped working on it, which is a bit of a shame.

http://www.cad-comic.com/cad/ - Ctrl-Alt-Del... now this is an old one, it's where I actually went with "Webcomic" as opposed to "Manga-Inspired" (manga-inspired being megatokyo) and being the first actual webcomic that I read, I believe it holds many of the possibly 'tried and true' concepts... I dunno if I'll be able to work with them, but it's always good to *cough* ste... *cough* borrow ideas when in doubt...

http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/ - penny arcade, well... personally I don't enjoy reading it... and that may partly be the fact that it's rather in-your-face about somethings... that and the two characters seem to be just a tad... how you say? retarded? no offence to the artist or anything... just personal preference...

http://www.venusenvycomic.com/ - My latest read, and a big deal in a sense, transgender people are still people like you and me, and they have their problems... and Venus Envy has been a good laugh, particularly at midnight >.>

http://xkcd.com/ - self reference, Irony and program... I mean extremely varied humor... oh and Randall Munroe has covered the meaning of existance many times over, if you've read all his comics and still don't get it... try refreshing your inbox just one more time.

right... well apart from that wikipedia link... and the comics that I've forgotten ^_^;
there's not much else to say... (I was about to add 'do' but then realised that the amount of stuff I need to do tomorrow and on my holiday (ANZAC day monday) will kill me... so yah)
I'll be signing off.

yeah, I haven't forgotten... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_ex_machina

'Till next time.
