Title: My web comic features a discordian
Post by: parabolee on April 16, 2009, 02:36:24 PM
Hi folks, I'm new here but have been a Discordian to some degree for many years since I discovered RAW.

I have a webcomic that while I am doubtful it will appeal to anyone here due it's infantile humour, it does feature a character that while he is not very expressive of his beliefs, he is a Discordian (and wears a RAW shirt at all times).

If anyone is interested at all, head over to - www.flat-life.com

peace

One or two dozen entries in, I'm seeing another take on the "multiple wacky gamer roomies" genre which Ctrl-Alt-Del failed, and MacHall or Hookie Dookie Panic did very well at.  There is funny, and jokes which can take a few comics to kick in, which I enjoy.  The main characters seem to have the tendency to display their cocks, an act which I'm still trying to link to a punchline.  (I'm an old bastard at heart some days, so I may be dismissing otherwise good sophmoric fun.) 
As for the "discoridan" character, its still up in the air how that species acts in the wild.  I've known some who live the ideal without fuss, and some who only go so far as drug consumption and t - shirt for defining their alignment.  (Both have, thusfar, denied being Discoridan.)   
It  is enjoyable, I like it enough to go back to read the rest, despite initial prejudice from the hit - and - run plug. 

Thanks for throwing it up.  By all means, introduce yourself, and chat further.

Thanks for the respectful feedback (besides "meh").

I hear you on the gamer comic thing, wasn't our intention when we started. But being a gamer myself I tended to write what I was thinking about at the time. We realised we were being tagged as a "gamer comic" rather than the "geek culture" comic we wanted to be (entirely our fault I know) so we made a concerted effort to stop doing gamer gags after the first year. The very last comic that was a video game gag, was Jan 7th 2006 (the comic started Jan 2005).

Since then we haven't done any gaming based strips (only a few passing references to video games at all), and have gone back to what our initial intention was, to write funny stories tat reference geek culture in a nod and a wink kinda way. With the hopes that the reader will get enough of the in-jokes to enjoy what we were trying to do. The RAW T-shirt is just one of those small references.

On the having there cocks out gags, well I have to admit that I find that funny. Infantile as it is :-D

Thanks for the kind words P3nT4gR4m!

Yes that's him. And of course that comic does not display his Discordianism  :D

Not bad, I am liking it so far, but I gave up my webcomic addiction and this is wanting me to go back into the dark whole.
