Webcomics: Part 3

So the other day I did something very awesome. Hopefully you all read and remember THIS post where I talked about the webcomic Wondermark. Well, thanks to the joy of Twitter/internet, I had a chance to talk on the phone with the creator Mr. David Malki! It was very nice. So, why not do another spotlight on a webcomic!

This post is going to be about Horribleville by K.C. Green.

A sample:

Horribleville is a webcomic whose main protagonist is the author/artist himself! Mr. Green is very self-deprecating and his jokes show this. Luckily for us it's hilarious instead of just sad. Also, K.C.'s pacing is UNBELIEVABLE. Possiby the best in all the webcomics I read.

The comic teeters between super realistic and all out craziness. Green is a very unique artist who can't really be put into any sort of box regarding style. He does whatever the comic calls for, which is nice since most webcomics stick to one particular style.

This comic does have some sort of continuity. There are regular characters, such as The Editor, Writer's Block and Doosty the cat who wants to kill K.C. Recently the comic has centered around Green's struggle with the comic itself, which makes my brain want to melt with how meta that is.

The coolest thing (to me) about this comic isn't the fact it makes laugh out loud more often than not, or the weird art or the killer kittie. No, it's the fact that it's like looking into someone's brain. This comic is partially a diary and instead of just descriptions of thought, we get art to go along with it! Not only do we get his thoughts on his life, but also his crazy ideas or silly daydreams. This comic is definitely not for everyone, but I bet it's one more people can relate to than most others.
