03/01: Leveraging Synergies

Fans of Oglaf will probably appreciate a comic like Curvy - mixing near equal parts of bizarre humor, fantasy, and sex. Anaïs is a normal girl in Boring World who is visited by a Princess of Candy World - hijinks (particularly the horizontal mambo kind) ensue. It's much more narrative driven than Oglaf is, with wacky candy-based puns and gimmicks giving way to relationship issues. Your mileage may vary, but I couldn't stop laughing until I hit the end of the backlog.

Someone linked me Loserz, an old comic that stopped updating back in 2007. I recognized the art style as the same as Slipshine's Linburger (I read it for the articles too). The most recent strips of Loserz are actually fairly entertaining - delve much further than that and you are treated to drawn out storyarchs revolving around relationships and nerd jokes. They aren't particularly funny, and the writing was not endearing enough to keep me interested in reading more. Linburger is a pornographic comic first and an interesting Fantasy/Cyberpunk story second. Combined with awkward poses and poor proportions, it fails to be very arousing, and the story and characters aren't good enough to tolerate multiple panels of phalluses that are as long as women's torsos.
