This sounds like an unfounded grudge to me. It seems out of character for you to dislike something based predominantly on a less-than-polished appearance.

I find xkcd's simplicity quite refreshing, and it reflects my own desire to strip the content in my art (and life in general, more recently) that is unnecessary to what I want it (or vice versa) to convey.

Hah, since when I should stay in some character?

But notice my next sentence after that: "I'm not saying badly drawn can't be good, but I just don't want to view a comic that doesn't even hide its badness with great pictures." My main problem here is with the actual comic, not its appearance. I hate the strips, and badly drawn images won't make it any better in my eyes. That's the point.

And I don't mind simplicity or such, I think in this case it annoys me just because of the actual comic. Though, I'm not much interested in seeing stick figures, either.

Obviously XKCD, apart from that, Holy Bibble can be quite entertaining. (Warning: not reccomended for Christians who are easily offended)

Not the greatest Toothpaste for Dinner, but it should be mentioned nevertheless.

Even more minimalistic than XKCD.

Hah. I'm not sure I got it, though.

Webcomics update really slowly, and some update only weekly or on a non-daily schedule, so yeah, it isn't that difficult.

I wanted to export the bookmarks but it'd export EVERYTHING plus icons while I only want to post links. Gimme a while. <_<

C'mon KeenRush, look at today's XKCD - how can you not like it, it's so true!

I will not go to bed until you admit that this is a good comic.

After posting this, CK Guy can truthfully say that he wrote:There really needs to be some sort of 'I just pulled off meta humor' emotikeen. Maybe a picture of Keen looking at himself on one of those robored TVs.

What do you want me to do? LEAVE? Then they'll keep being wrong!

Hmm, Toothpaste for Dinner seems amusing. I'll look into that. Which reminds me of another off-topic rant... toothpaste sucks--it's the reason my teeth are in such bad shape.

Well Spleen, it's not supposed to taste good, I think. Or not to be eaten for dinner.

Good idea CK Guy. But can it fit in relatively small size?

I read quite a bit of that a while ago, but I think I either got sick of all the relationship drama or just generally lost interest.

Edit: KeenEmpire, you seem to have stretched the forums past the width of the screen by posting that comic...

It doesn't stretch my scr--*remembers he has widescreen*...nevermind.

I'm not talking about the taste. I'm talking about the alarming number of teeth in my jaw that are decayed to the point that they're no longer recognisable as teeth, along with the resulting toothaches. The situation has relatively stabilised, and toothaches have pretty much ceased, since I stopped using toothpaste a year and a half ago.

Also, that Hitler comic is great.
