Twitter Webcomic Roundup, Part 2
Hope everybody enjoyed the first installment of the Twitter Webcomic Roundup! Without…any ado, here’s number two.:
1977: I’ve often felt that, if I had to choose another time period to grow up in, I’d love to be a teenager in the 70’s. What a heck of a scene to be in. Everything seemed so much…cooler back then. Luckily, I’m able to live vicariously through 1977, the comic. And, I mean…major props to any webcomic which has a store that sells hand-made ceramic cups, right?
Daisy Owl: It’s just…I really have no way to describe this comic. I–I can try: Bizarrely hilarious? That works. You should go there and press the “random” button and see what comes up.
I’m Not Bob: I can’t explain it any better than the author, Robert, can: “Geeky and juvenile humor revolving around Bob and his 2 college buddies, Frank and Dwayne, as they start up an online comics review business.” It’s a funny comic that, so far, features a lot of guest strips, totally getting the webcomic community involved.
Gill: Gill is one of my favorite new comics, about a…husky boy named Gill who’s dirt-poor and not overly bright. I love the title of the first Gill book, I’m Not Retarded, I’m Big-Boned! Gill lives with his mother, who is estranged from Gill’s father–there’s a certain dysfunction going on with all the characters that makes it seem much more real and relatable than standard newspaper-strip fare, yet it also wouldn’t seem out of place in a newspaper, either. Which, I guess makes sense, because Norm Feuti also authors the syndicated comic strip, Retail. So yes, he is quite a talented individual. Who I am not at all jealous of.
Imy: Imy is a very likeable comic strip about a girl who likes rock music so much, she actually wears a shirt with the word “ROCK” across the front. A webcomic after my own heart. Much like my own comic, the artwork has really evolved a lot since the beginning–what started out looking like your average webcomic grew into something not only fun to read, but visually much more interesting as well. Also, did I mention it’s about a girl who loves rock music?
Dog Eat Doug: Much like Superfogeys, Dog Eat Doug is a comic that briefly fell off my radar until I hauled it back on the truck via Twitter. It’s actually one of the first webcomics I began reading, as I seem to remember it started around the same time George did. Dog Eat Doug went on to bigger and better things, however–newspaper syndication being one of them! It deserves it, though–it’s whimsical, fun, humorous, expertly-drawn, family-friendly, and overall a great addition to anyone’s collection. Of comic strips.
Part 3 on Monday!



I *WAS* a teenager in the 70’s.
All I can say about is “meh”.
