Release the inner nerd

[dolorosa_12]

Sometimes the internet makes me want to scream. Those who've been following this lj for a while will know that I read a couple of webcomics. My favourite, get_medieval, obligingly appears daily in livejournal, so all I need to do is add it as a friend, and, voila, it's there every time I check my friends' page. The same applies to everyone's favourite webcomic of romance, sarcasm, math(s) and language, xkcd, which I can get by rss feed on lj.

Raphael's comic is now updated 'when the whim takes' him, so it's not too much of a problem to wander over to check it out - it won't have galloped ahead much between visits.

No, the problem is that I've just discovered Questionable Content. Not only is there no way to get an lj feed of it, I'm going to have to do some serious archive-reading if I want to catch up with it. Time, I need it! At least I've got an rss feed of it.

I really need to stop finding new webcomics. It's hard enough having heaps of forums to keep track of, lj to update and Facebook to craft and care for like a rather disturbing mutant baby without constantly adding to my webcomic diet.

If I had more time, I'd be reading Scary Go Round, Dumnestor's Heroes and Knowledge Is Power too. (Those last two are by the author of Get Medieval).

QC! It's quite amazing, and the archives didn't take me too long (nothing like something*posiitive or sluggy freelance), but then again it's added a couple of years of content since then ;) It'll be worth it though, believe me.

Um, that was me. LJ occasionally logs me out without telling me.

I thought it would be you. No-one else I know is as dedicated to webcomics as you. I'll have to wait until I've got a bit of time on my hands and then I'll wade through the archive.

When I find a new webcomic, I usually just spend the next x hours reading the archive (x has never been big enough for me to die, as yet).

Which is why I haven't 'found' any new webcomics recently - stupid work :-(

(and yes, QC is cool!)

That was James H, who wasn't logged in because he forgot his typekey url.

I seem to be getting a lot of comments today by 'anonymous' friends of mine. I should've known that the webcomics would get everyone out and posting!

Everyone seems to be pushing QC, so I might have to spend Sunday reading through them.

Oh man, I remember spending an entire weekend doing almost nothing but reading the QC archives when I first discovered it. Oddly enough, I don't really keep up with it anymore, mostly because of the lack of LJ feed. There really are too many good webcomics.

Wow, three recommendations for QC. I'd better get reading!
