Webcomic Suprisingly Touching
The art is either stylized or hyper realistic to the point where i can see why people don't like it, and minor internet memes exist to mock it.
Some of the jokes don't always work.
The main characters are incredibly flawed.
But at the end of the day This mostly gag a day slice of life webcomics, and one of the best out there. its an incredibly strong story about the relationship of two people-an incredibly stressed and mysogynistic Genoloclogist and her spacey Pornstar Roommate.
And in a genre with strips full of crazy animals and ninjas the above is played more or less realistically. There a pair of hypersexual lesbian who thousands of conquests each. Okay maybe thats a tad unrealistic)- but there journey isn't.
The story follows them, yrd as they fuck constantly-but they also go through college, Get tattoos Have children together and buy a house-all the while never ever saying they love each other. There for lack of a better word rommance is the heart of the story-and its suprisingly touching.
Its a love that dare not speak its name,not becuse they can't but they don't-yet whether they actually do or not that doesn't stop there relationship, there fights there squables, there mutt and jeff antics- or the fact that they do care and support for each other. Its this relationship that forms the heart of the story, and in a lot of ways i think its one of the strongest ever done in a comicbook media.
Its not for everyone, and a lot of people could be turned off it for subject tone, and art-but well if you find it through its a good little strip. Its not something you can relate to necssairly-but there is something very human at its core which is worth checking out.
WebComic A trollish deconstruction of the Slice of Life Webcomic
Much in the same way that My Immortal is the ultimate deconstruction of the fanfic, here is the ultimate deconstruction of the "slice of life" webcomic, personified in comics like Questionable Content, Candi, or other webcomics that generally don't have a point. With the greater allowances for explicit content on the internet, the genre has become a place where casual sex, stupidity of its protagonists, and Seinfeldian pointlessness can reach its true comedic pinnacle. It is the place where the writer can place their freudian id out into the open and imagine (through their protagonists) what the perfect life would be.
Here is that pinnacle.
I give credit to Woc Girl, the writer, for showing us that they are clever enough not to appear clever. Our protagonists are not sympathetic. No one they hate deserves the hatred- indeed, the comic goes out of its way to show that the other characters whom the protagonists hate and scorn care about them (in the case of family) and otherwise act in perfectly reasonable ways (Summer's boss at the hospital is explicitly acknowledged to be a great boss- Summer still hates him.) Finally, all the truly funny jokes are based not on what the *characters* think is funny- but on how much these people are idiots.
So you get a comic which for the most part is intensely obscene, sparsely drawn, based on the alleged writers' perfect vision of their life without fetters, and apparently hideously unfunny.
Yet it is hideously funny, once you look past it. What can be more morbidly funny than two examples of people who really shouldn't be parents- being parents? What can be more morbidly funny than two people who shun people who care about them, treat their relationship (for it is a relationship) as a pointless fuck contract, and can't even manage to have a child through something *they* share rather than random occurrences, *forming a family unit?*
It is not a co-incidence that the title of the webcomic is based on a stupid, Seinfeldian argument by the two protagonists on how to name their children. Woc Girl even lampshades it.
Moon Over June is a brilliant, trollish reflection of the darkest recesses of our psyches and those who write webcomics. It is the My Immortal of the genre.
I salute you, Woc Girl. I don't care if everything you write is in earnest- you are a brilliant deconstructionist.
WebComic Don't.
Moon Over June is infamous on Tumblr. I set out to read this as a self-imposed challenge.
I do not recommend that you do the same.
The art is ugly. The artist obviously has no understanding of anatomy, every interior seen in the comic was very obviously produced on Google Sketchup, and the vaginas... The vaginas will haunt you. They look like abominations from H.P. Lovecraft's worst nightmares.
I didn't read Mo J for the alleged 'erotica', but I think it's safe to assume that whoever does will be severely disappointed. Every panel is so crammed with unappealing imagery— I can't fathom how any of it could be deemed sexy.
The humor is rarely funny, and any attempt to turn the comic into porn with plot flounders miserably. Like a kitten with no legs.
The above problems are overshadowed, however, by the eye-raping poonhorrors that await you. If I posted my knee-jerk reaction to Moon Over June, it would look like this:
WAIT WHAT WHY DID SHE JUST— AND THE DILDOS— HER WHOLE HAND IN THERE OH MY GOD I—VAGINAS DO NOT WORK THAT WAY AND WHAT IS WRONG WITH THAT GODDAMN MOUTH WHY IS EVERYONE— ARGH
Webcomic no
I'd call it trolling, but it just seems to believe too much in itself.
The story is bad (especially since the entire comic centers around what jerks the main characters are, and yet the later strips focus on them seeking true love, finding people who are equally intolerable to themselves, and just giving up on having relationships altogether because their one attempt at it didn't work), the characters are more annoying than offensive, and the artwork is legendarily bad.
If you're into bile fascination, go for it, but otherwise, don't waste your time. This strip is what Kit and Kay Boodle would be, if everyone were lesbian assholes instead of furry sugar-pixies.
