Web-comics--why do they stink so?
AT LAST!!!!

My hatred of web-comics is such that it now resembles a disfigured troll living under a bridge, and I was afraid that, without some sort of release, it might end up killing somebody. Thankfully, John Solomon has come along with a site that rips the whole lot a new one. Link

Here he is on the utterly shitty (and ubiquitous, if you use Stumbleupon) 'Ctrl+Alt+Del'.

"It's a good point that, should you ever find yourself accidentally looking at Ctrl+Alt+Del, the title also conveys what you should do: reboot your computer as fast as possible. Like Dominic Deegan, this is one of the worst webcomics on the entire Internet, and much in the same manner it is oddly popular amongst the mentally handicapped. If they ever manage to stumble upon these words, I can expect a comments page akin to a pack of hooting and shit-throwing monkeys."

Hurray! Hurray for him!

I enjoy my daily dose of webcomics too much to agree with your generalisation, but that website? Spot on!

And such beautiful comments too!

"I see you are some what of a critic. Tell me J, can I call you "J"? Or should I stick with "Mr. Solomon"? My name is Link. Yes, Really. Crack a joke, I've heard em all.
Anyways, lets carry on J:

What makes you so professional that you can criticize another persons art? Or, for that matter, their story writing ability. Lets generalize for the sake of simplicity.
I would rather enjoy seeing how well you are at creationism. Especially seeing as you, mentally at least, seem to be on par with Edgar Allen Poe and Picasso.
You seem to have a lot of time on your hands and I can equate. I may not have nearly as much time but I get bored quite easily. But I have a job, a rather stressful one at that two. I'm twenty-one years old and going gray. My job entails that I protect people like you from the vagrants of the world. Enjoy Your freedom of speech.
My Brethren died for it.
My Comrades fight for it.
And you live because of it.

Find something better to do with your time. and stop pissing off comic artists. I've had like four people send this stupid blog to me."

also, I should say that I don't hate all webcomics. That was just bad blogging. I love Achewood, ALien Loves predator etc. I just momentarily forgot about them.

No doubt you've seen it before but just in case you haven't -

http://www.pbfcomics.com/

It's not a continuing story and it's not very regular but it's a personal favourite of mine.

I don't personally understand the vitriol. Web comics are just a form of media. There's no merit criticising the channel, just the content.

Okay, so there's a lot of crap out there, but there is on TV (funography), radio (try enduring the incredibly smug 'Quote Unquote' on radio 4), in print (tabloids) and in books (anything by Jeffery Archer).

Mind you, Orc rape is pretty damn low. I'll give you that.

Sinfest is maybe worth to mention as one of the better ones (http://www.sinfest.net/), oh and 8-Bit Theater (http://www.nuklearpower.com/) ;).
