Horrible Web Comics Discussion
I thumbed through a good chunk of The Freckled Finger
, and I'm not sure it fits. It's by no means good, and does suffer from Dude Not Funny quite a bit, but other then that it just seems kinda "Meh".

Was Boston and Shaun listed and then cut? I'm curious. That webcomic is infamous for its total incomprehensibility.
I think that Jenffer´s Show fits perfectly into the list of horrible webcomics. Beside of the hideous artwork, the dialogues are very poorly written (And sometimes filled with grammar mistakes) in some of the most recent entries for this webcomic, the texts are literally unreadable due the confusing handwriting. It also suffers of a muddled narrative which made it very hard to understand what is going on most of the time.

Should we add Shadbase or Grim Tales From Down Below to this page?
This review should answer that question

Should the Nice Guy webcomic be removed from the so bad it's horrible page for webcomics? I've given the comic a brief run through, and it doesn't seem that egregiously bad. Its content mostly consists of dry nerdy humor or scenes from everyday life. I can see how someone would dislike it; I personally think that it's a guilty pleasure or just the normal kind of subpar; it really doesn't stand out anywhere and it's forgettable and harmless compared to most other comics on the page. I vote in favor of removing the entry on the grounds that the entry seems more like complaining about something the troper doesn't like and that the comic itself is just okay to subpar rather than being gut wrenchingly attrocious.
Does Electric Retard qualify for this?
I'd like to defend Pastel Defender Heliotrope.
The writing is bizzarre, pacing might be off, it's nigh-incomprehensible...
...But Reitz is a competent artist with a knack for Scenery Porn, (At the top of [insert gender-specific pronoun] game, [said pronoun] is even capable of aping the works of Akiko-era Mark Crilley) it's emotionally moving at points (Albeit the wrong kind of emotion on occasions) ...even the scene described on the page was Actually Pretty Funny.
It's So Bad Its Good at worst.

Somehow I don't find Moon Over June all that horrible. Sure, it's totally nonsensical and the artist should really stop screwing up the character's faces all the time, but I had a few good laughs here and there. It's quite hard on men and women alike, especially lesbians, who are generally depicted as sex-addicted nut-jobs. Then again, I have had some encounters with such types, so it's not that unrealistic. I have to admit though that the author was really stretching things during the pregnancy arc—literally. And damn, why are they always eating in the kitchen naked? Don't they know that crumbs can wind up anywhere?
I think a webcomic called "Las Lindas" fits perfectly into this. Copious amounts of anthro girls with massive breasts and fanservice, boring characters and lack of plot.
Could someone elaborate further on why faithmore is horrible besides the reasons of being weird.
Note: Should The Other M be listed here, or under Fan Fic? Seeing as it's both.
I'm not sure that it should be listed at all. I'm not talking about my personal opinion, I'm talking about the fact that when it was announced that Ian would be joining the comic there was quite a bit
of positive response largely based on the reception of Other-M. Not everyone loved it, some people hated it (obviously), but its fans were hardly a tiny minority. Why would it warrant an inclusion here? Strikes me as Opinion Myopia.

Note on the Gamer Chicks comic: the original summary suggested that the art was So Bad Its Good, which may have been related to the reviews of horror that got appended to it. I removed the comments and adjusted the description.
Cut this and put it here for now. It can't be both So Bad Its Good and So Bad Its Horrible, it's been contested before, and if there are enough people who think it's So Bad Its Good...
- Kit N Kay Boodle stars a large cast of animals
having sexyiffing in public all the time in a creepily cartoonish Mary Suetopia. The listing at Author Tract is a good summary: "It is entirely a vehicle for Richard Katellis' views on free love, yiffing, and the plight of the furry community. The world outside of idyllic, nudist Yiffburg is full of monstrous dictatorships and ruthless capitalist states that criticize Yiffburg for being horny layabouts. Any character who doesn't constantly want sex with total strangers is either an evil fascist or a repressed soul, and the answer is invariably anonymous sex, either to defeat or convert them to the yiffy way of life." One character even looks like a giant penis *. The strip might actually be tolerable if not for the fact that it's drawn in a cutesy, cartoonish style, turning any possible sexual content into extra-strength Fetish Retardant. All sorts of horridness abounds, including a Fantastic Drug which acts as both an aphrodisiac and contraceptive; immodest orgasms; Parental Incest; Rape As Redemption... and none of the Yiffburgians even bother to work because exporting the berries is enough to sustain their economy[[hottip:*:There's also some Unfortunate Implications about the way the Fantastic Drug works-it comes in two colors, indicating which sex is supposed to eat which berry. But the "bottoms" of gay male couples eat the berries meant for women. Um...- There are some who consider it So Bad Its Good, as an accidental parody of the Furry Fandom.
Cut this and put it here. As abhorrent as it is, we cannot list it for the same reason we do not want to list Left Behind. There are fewer Neo-Nazis than fundamentalist pre-millenial-rapture Christians (we hope), but the principle is the same.
- Billy The Heretic is widely acknowledged as the single worst webcomic on the internet. It is an allegedly autobiographical work about a young boy who was adopted by a "rich international Jewish" family. To say that it was full of Unfortunate Implications would indicate that the author was attempting to imply anything. He wasn't —it's all on the page. The artwork is spectacularly awful: there's not a shred of color anywhere, backgrounds are never anything beyond blank white stretches, and every character but the protagonist is a hideously drawn stereotype caricature. The protagonist is more grotesque than any of the others with his perfectly round nose and baffling ability to develop a Mickey Mouse snout every time he says something "clever". The Designated Villains are more sympathetic than the protagonist. There is no plot or characterization intended in this strip.... Imagine your average white supremacist arguments that "Jews deserved the Holocaust" and "All inner city blacks are subhuman criminals" presented as a comic strip. That's all it is - retarded white supremacist propaganda presented in comic strip format. Literally. The author is literally a Neo-Nazi.
- In Cracked's 5 Circles of Baffling Webcomic Hell
, this one gets a special mention at the bottom of the pit.
- It does have a fanbase in the form of Stormfront's regular users, meaning that this comic is possibly the Most Triumphant Example of Preaching To The Choir.

Mentioning Sonichu while telling other tropers not to mention Sonichu is a Logic Bomb. I think we should stick to the policy we have on the Sonichu page itself. Mention the comic (to a reasonable degree) but not the author.
- And no So Bad Its Good is when there's some entertainment value in the material that makes people want to watch it. The only reason to read Sonichu is Bile Fascination.
Please add Sonichu again. The comic itself sucks. We don't have to go into detail about the creator if that avoids making certain people angry. I don't like Political Correctness when it's abused to far extremes, but whatever, I understand the thinking there. But the comic, all by its lonesome, definitely qualifies for this trope.
Except Sonichu "fan"work is all about making fun of Chris, torturing the characters or deconstructing the setting. This (NSFW) is what the typical Sonichu fic look like.

As the person who made the Fanfic Recommendations page for Sonichu, I believe that it deserves to be on this list. Ordinarily, yes, the existence of fanfic would mean that at least one person enjoys the work and/or thinks there is material to work off of, but this webcomic is... Different. From what I've seen, Sonichu fanworks tend to be in one of three groups, with the occasional overlap: deconstructions (Asperchu, Chris Gets Laid, Capering Berries), grim gorefests (Sonichu Finale, The Death of Sonichu, A Very Sonichu Adventure) or Refuge In Audacity comedy (Moon-Pals, Sonichu is Dead, Sonichu: The Animated Series)... Actually, the gore group seems to go will with the other two, the aforementioned Chris Gets Laid and Sonichu is Dead being examples. The only "honest" fanwork I can think of for Sonichu is the remake and the fan promo, and even then it's obvious that they've been done for the lulz (the latter especially, with the line "No Darkies, Jerkop!" and all).
TL;DR: Sonichu fanwork only exists to mock Chris and his creation.
(By the way, can't Bile Fascination apply even when the work isn't So Bad It's Good? With Sonichu, it's like a radioactive trainwreck: looking at it will melt your eyes out, but you can't not look at it.)
... Oh god, why am I arguing over a shitty webcomic drawn by a manchild? orz

Okay, seriously: why the hell was Kit'n'Kay Boodle removed from the list?! Can anyone give a good reason why the comic isn't So Bad Its Horrible? Yeah, I know that someone made an entry for it on the So Bad Its Good page, but it seems like one persons preference. I'm sure that there are people who find Shredded Moose and the Seltzerberg movies funny. If anything we should delete the entry on the So Bad Its Good page, if we cannot allow it to exist on both. Unless anyone objects, I'm gonna re-add it here and let people discuss whether its appropriate on the So Bad Its Good page.
