Comedity is a Webcomic created by Garth Graham. It can be read here
. It's an Embellished Webcomic. It started in 2004 and ended on October 2008.
A comic that can be best described as "Life Embellished (and we mean really embellished) plus Mundane Fantastic (more mundane than you would think) plus Good Angel, Bad Angel (enough that it very well might be the entire point of the series)".
Examples:
- Alliterative Name: Discussed in ''issue Origins #0, with Garth Graham and Larom Lancaster. The main characters decide that, since they have alliterative names, this is an invitation to become superheroes.
- Art Evolution: This got a good Lampshade Hanging in one strip.
- Con Recap
- Ghost in the Machine:
- What video gamer doesn't have a Personality 47, aka "The Red Right Hand"?
- This is actually a recurring gag in the strip; at one point, the facets of the main character's personality (including his inner angel, inner devil, muse, and inner ninja) are shown in a hot tub... and then the one representing his psyche realizes they're moving and storms out of the hot tub to find out who the hell is driving.
- Good Angel, Bad Angel: Arguably the entire point, or at least a central theme. Garth's various psychological elements are characters in their own right and make up a council in his head. Though they aren't just advisors... The personality sprites actually constitute Garth's mind; they're frequently shown piloting his body Mobile-Suit Human style.
- I Call It "Vera": Garth Graham named his computer "Alice". In Comedity, Alice is a Robot Girl.
- Life Embellished: It veers off into the wild blue yonder on occasion, but has a certain amount of grounding in its creator's life. One of the most notable changes? Alice, the Robot Girl, is his computer in real life. Well, she's his computer in the comic, too. Just, y'know, anthropomorphic. And sentient.
- Mental World: Its storyline sometimes shows the various sides of Garth's personality sitting around a conference table discussing what he should do next. It got particularly interesting when Karen fell through a plot hole into this mental world.
- Mind Hive: Garth. Even though most of the head-Garth represents part of his thinking process, the Muse and the Penguin are still quite independent.
- Red Right Hand: One of Garth's personae, number 47, literally goes by "The Red Right Hand" and while not strictly evil is all of Garth's violent tendencies embodied. Hello again, Natalia.
- Robot Girl: Alice, a girl with robotic looks, who due to the comic's Life Embellished nature is the stand-in for the author's computer.
- Scary Shiny Glasses: In this strip. Also, note the discreet Rule 34 insertion.
- Tron Lines: Alice's more advanced forms have these around her face, and her "upgraded body" displays them when her holographic clothing generation system isn't covering them. Presumably, as a computer with conscious awareness of her own power consumption, she deactivates them when they aren't needed.
