Basic Instructions, How to Find Some Guidance

Have you ever said to yourself: How do I do this? It doesn't really matter what it was. Maybe you wanted to know How to Be Productive, or How to React When You've Been Wrongly Accused of Murder. It's all right, Scott has you covered.

The series follows Scott, a middle age, geeky, office guy (it's not very clear what his job is), as he deals with the mundane and the absurd. All the strips have a “voice over”, imparting wisdom from the situation.

It's fun, and inventive. If you are looking for lighthearted and smart humor, look no further. Basic Instructions is already here.

Will Save Gold for Gold, wouldn't we all?

Review #76 – Free Webcomic

Will Save Gold for Gold, wouldn't we all?

Please, read beyond this first paragraph. It will seem dull, but do it. Will Save World for Gold is a pixel art webcomic about a party of dysfunctional adventurers in a D&D 4 world. When you start reading, it's kind of formulaic.

Nevertheless, you should not stop. That's the thing. This webcomic uses that setup just to frame the story. As you start reading, you'll meet the real characters, breaking away from the archetypes that spawned them.

Unlike other stories, it doesn't have a clearly defined end goal. Instead, things happen and start to pile up. There is tension building in the background. There's meaningful character interaction. And it's beautifully drawn, I should add.

I'll say it again. Will Save World for Gold uses tropes right. It first gives you the mindset you need to find your way into it's world, and then starts developing itself. A worthy read for anyone.

Precocious, Knowledge is a Weapon!

Review #73 – Free Webcomic

Precocious, Knowledge is a Weapon!

A new webcomic review is long overdue, as last one was almost a year ago. Today's entry is Precocious, a daily comic strip with a hint of Tiny Toons. It's funny and smart, so it easily became part of my daily rutine.

The comic follows the adventures of the kids from Saphire Lake, a suburban neighbour chosen for it's proximity to the Poppinstock Academy, a school for the gifted. Gifted as in “genius”, not “mutant”.

And “genius” is a good word to describe them, the same way you'll use it to describe Dr. Doom or any Bond villain. Because, you see, children don't share the same sense of morality and resposibility as you or me. The main problem, though, is that their intelligence can make their pranks and games a lot more... explosive than those of other children.

It's mostly gag a day, with a background plot tying the strips together, much like the comic strips on newspapers.

So, check Precocious for a daily dose of cartoony fun. You won't live to regret it.

Girly, tag team of nonsensical fun

Review #26 – Free Web Comic

Girly, tag team of nonsensical fun

Girly is a rather unique story. This web comic (which is complete, by the way) tells us the weird adventures of a girl and her sidekick, in a world ruled by nonsense and dramatic flair. The drawing style is wonky at first, but it soon evolves into a great cartoon-like form.

It’s hard to tell you about it without giving away important plot points (because of course it has a plot) but I’ll do my best. This seven-years-long epic has an elephant infestation, romance, superheroes, a dance battle, a weird bird thing I still don’t know what is supposed to be, and a big horrible constipation, between other stuff.

The humor is fast, both graphic and with great dialogue. The only requirement to enjoy it is not to hang to tightly to your “logic”. Trust me, living in Cute City is easier that way.

Fair Warning: You may see the cutesy look of the characters and assume this is a harmless comic. It’s not. There are sex scenes (but nothing graphic), and at least a giant dildo hitting someone on the head (who am I kidding, it doesn’t happen only once). Read at your own risk.
