resolved Fake "Wrong Name Outburst" in webcomic Webcomic
There was this scene with Alice and Bob in bed together. At some point, Carol (probably Bob's ex, but I'm not sure of that) walks in on them, leading Bob to say "Carol?" in confusion.
Unfortunately, Alice somehow notices neither the lighting change from opening the door nor Bob's obvious shift in tone, nor the noise of the door opening and closing; she mistakes it from a Wrong-Name Outburst, and kicks Bob out of the bed / breaks up with him.
I was particularly stung by how contrived it was (both from Bob only saying Carol's name and not, say, "Close the door!" or "Out!" or anything else, and from Alice's obliviousness) but don't remember the comic itself.
Edit: Found it thanks to ~Ngamer11, that was in Juvenile Diversion:
- Wrong-Name Outburst: Kyle blurts out Meg's name
while having sex with Jenny because he catches her peeking on them. Unfortunately, Jenny doesn't see Meg and gets angry at Kyle for doing this.
openSo I'm looking for this old webcomic Webcomic
I remember the party was evil or at least very gray. One of the characters was a hell knight powered by a demon if I remember right and the one other member of the party I really remember was this drow they dragged around with them. I know there was a sequence with a drow city or village being attacked by a giant worm and I think there was a beholder that kills one of them at some point and they need to bring them back.
Edited by TedGrendelisopenSuperhero Teen Girl Instagram Comic Webcomic
I followed an Instagram comic account last year but since forget about their username. The only things that i remember are:
1. It's made in black and white
2. The superhero is a white girl with super strength and flying abilities
3. She lives with a black girl roommate and a white nerdy guy
4. Some comics that i remember:
a. she flies a Christmas tree and is noticed by a couple of dad and son. She claims that she is fortune Christmas tree and tell the kid to make a wish. When the dad says it's not possible, she closes in and give him some money.
b. There is a series of comics about the trio taking care of a wounded bird. Chaos and drama ensues. It ends with the superhero letting the bird go.
c. There is a quarrel between the superhero and her girl roommate. She asks for help from the nerdy guy and will tell a secret that the girl roommate has, turns out the roommate has a tattoo on her back. The superhero is also revealed to be scared of needles.
openFurry webcomic with shapeshifting shadow creature Webcomic
I remember stumbling on a Webcomic during a wiki walk, but I can't remember what page it was on. It was a Furry webcomic set in what was largely a standard fantasy setting. What I remember is that one character started as a shapeshifting shadow/black slime creature who imitated the protagonist before developing her own identity, but Slime Girl and Living Shadow aren't helping, and I think digging through the page of every Furry webcomic on the wiki is a last resort
openDeviantart TF webcomic Webcomic
This might be a little specific, but do any of you know a fantasy webcomic on Deviantart, about a guy who gets turned into a weird female, rat/weasel/kangaroo thing? Ends up wearing a red uniform and I believe she joined the army at some point?
openA dark furry webcomic Webcomic
I remember back in 2015ish or so, I had read a dark furry webcomic.
I remember it taking place in a lab setting, and one of the characters had a very obvious stutter or lisp, which led them (him?) to being picked on by a few of the other characters, both physically and verbally.
I remember the web page and the comic being very dark as well, there were lots of greys, blacks, and muted colors used, as well as a brief warning on the "about" page that the comic was not for kids. I think there might have been an age restriction warning (13+? 15+?) too.
openWebcomic With Sentient Microbes (Memories Too Vague; this one's not getting solved) Webcomic
Exactly What It Says On The Tin. I think it might've had a bunch of bio nerd jokes, but I'm not sure.
Edited by sRAMrelevratopenD&d inspired comic about a blue tiefling investigator Webcomic
Just found some art on my computer from a webcomic I read a while back about a blue tiefling woman who wants to be a investigator/detective. Reluctantly following her is a character called Tyr (not the god, a shifter maybe?). I can't remember the name.
openWebcomic about a space tourist Webcomic
A relatively new webcomic I read a few months ago about a woman who travels between dimensions, but has no control when she goes or where she goes. Despite this, it’s more of a one shot/slice of life. There’s one where she makes tracks next to a dinosaur that get fossilized, another where she goes on a date with an alien, another where she’s in a snow globe. The one that sticks in my head is where she meets this Don Quixote-like robot, whose controls are loose, so he still sees visions of the aliens he’s supposed to be attacking even though they’re long dead, and their bones are a playground now. The artwork is gorgeous, and there’s not a ton of dialogue or plot, but each one makes you think.
openWebcomic about a Frozen Food Boy? Webcomic
Posted this on TOMT but I'd figure I'd better make use of my account here & try to ask here as well.
I remember reading a comic around the Smackjeeves era, where a teenage girl bought a weird food package from the frozen food aisle of her grocery store, and when she heated it up in her microwave- it turned into this like, giant food sludgey monster (pretty much looks like the illustration on It Came from the Fridge but bigger and grey, with a mouth) and then turned into a guy. She then befriended him (since this guy basically now lived in her house) and then had to ask her principal to enroll him in her high school to keep an eye on him. It was sort of a comedy/slice of life type comic, with some funny Fish out of Water moments from the food boy.
I'm not 100% certain, but I think the girl had red hair in a short ponytail, and the art was expressive & stylized, and slightly had more Western cartoon vibes than anime. I also think it was possibly done w/ marker on paper? (Less sure about that one.)
I tried looking up some food-related tropes here, but no luck yet. I'm guessing just because of the timeframe (probably mid 2000s/early 2010s) that it was probably on Smackjeeves, but I'm not 100% certain.
Edited by trianglecoffinopenLookin for an early 2000s/2010s webcomic/web series Webcomic
So I’m not sure when this was but it’s a webcomic about a girl who’s living in this world where you live in underwater cities and live in a vr world where the character you inhabit can only be drawn by yourself. This girl has pink hair and poorly draws her character to the point where it has like circles for hands but for some reason she’s like super powerful. I’ve been trying to find this webcomic for a while but I just can’t find it anywhere and I think it might be obscure
resolved Portal fantasy, with animal-people? Webcomic
I read this webcomic somewhere in the early/mid 2010's. It's a fantasy comic that's set in a world where everyone is some kind of animal shapeshifter, or everyone has the characteristics of some kind of animal. I don't recall the specifics, but it's some kind of natural animal-human combo.
Our main character is a child who was adopted by a family of sheep-people. They aren't a sheep person, and aren't quite sure what animal they are. They might be some kind of deer? Don't recall the gender of this character.
They end up going through a portal to another part of the world, or perhaps another time. It's definitely the same world, but super far away. On the other side of the portal, it's very snowy, and our protagonist ends up in the care of a village of moose-people.
As this is going on, the main character's mother is looking for them.
I haven't had much luck finding anything, does this description ring any bells?
openSlice of Life Witch Mom Webcomic Webcomic
A cute slice of life webcomic about an average middle aged mom, her husband, and like 2 or 3 kids, and the mom just happens to be a witch in a world where magic is known and fairly normal, but not super common. I remember in particular a sequence where the mom is trying to set up a magical grocery delivery, but given that magic is treated as a technology that has upsides and downsides like any other, she eventually concludes she'd rather go get them herself mundanely. At least part of it was definitely published between 2005-2010, but likely more on one or both sides of that time.
openMario Crossover Sprite Comic Webcomic
This is the biggest long shot but Tv Tropes is the last place I saw this comic mentioned so I'm asking here.
I'm looking for a Mario sprite comic that I unfortunately remember almost nothing about. I'm 70% sure its title was "Mushroom Kingdom [SOMETHING]". That last word might have been "collapse" but absolutely don't quote me on that.
What I do remember is that it was one of those massive crossover stories that involved various other Nintendo universes. The part I remember is that there was a section of the story that crossed over with the Kirby universe, and particularly a part about Drawcia. This comic is (perhaps apocryphally) quoted as the origin of the popular fanon that Drawcia "contracted" with Zero and became part Dark Matter.
I have nothing on the timeframe, but because it involves Drawcia, I would put it between 2005 and 2010, since Canvas Curse released in 2005 and I remember this comic dropping off the face of the internet many years ago.
I've done a bunch of frantic googling but I'm turning up nothing. Thank you so much for the help!
openDid a webcomic called "Clear Skies" (IIRC) exist, then disappear into thin air? Webcomic
It was Low Fantasy, and all of the characters had wings or at least patagia. The plot involved multiple rival tribes; The Prophecy would be fulfilled, and a lot of major problems would be solved if two of the tribe leaders' kids were allowed to marry when they came of age (a plan with which said kids were more than fine with, but a bunch of old traditionalists opposed). I think the female lead was named Lisslie.
The art was highly detailed and proficient. I think that it was on either Tumblr or dA; one way or another, it seems to have just sort of vanished into the aether.
Edited by FarseerLoloteaopenTumblr ask blog focusing on classic cartoon characters arriving in the real world Webcomic
It was an ask blog/webcomic on Tumblr that focused on a human girl accidentally summoning cartoon characters to the real world - I believe she summoned 3 (Mickey Mouse, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and Felix the Cat), but there's a possibility that there were more. The girl had to hide the characters from her family and friends, but over the course of the comic she found other people hiding their own cartoon characters, such as a fellow classmate who had befriended Marvin the Martian. The art looked like it had been done in MS Paint/a similar art program, and I think the artist of the webcomic was pretty young but I don't know for sure. I read it back in 2017/2018 but can't for the life of me remember the name of the blog.
Edited by MissGemKnightopen(FOUND) College student doccumenting weird architectural things with professor Webcomic
The comic was about this college student meeting/working under a professor whose private area of research was documenting irregular features in buildings. She had a specific name for them, but it was basically these tiny barely noticeable details like an an out of place brick or an extra section of roof in a location that didn't make sense.
The main character initially thinks she's crazy, but over time gets increasingly sucked into the mystery despite her warning him to only record data and not dig deeper. He ignores this and one day suddenly comes to some kind of realization about the irregularities. But when he runs to tell her, he finds that her office is gone and he can no longer remember anything about the research. One of his friends comes to get him, and he returns to life as a normal college student.
That's probably plenty to identify it. But if it helps, it was a fairly medium-short comic, readable in one sitting and I think a fairly muted (monochrome?) color palette.
Edited by rachiebirdresolved Post-apocalyptic Webtoon Webcomic
I remember reading this webcomic on Webtoon Canvas (or whatever it was called before). It's a post-apocalyptic story with a blind girl as the main protagonist. The apocalypse started because of a nuclear blast, but she survived because she was hiding behind her boyfriend, and went blind because she looked at the explosion. Does anyone know the title of this webcomic?
openBL manhua where one of the protagonists has a musical note on his haircut Webcomic
It's a BL manhua (probably) where one of the guys has a musical note shaved on his hair. He has a mute little sister who likes skate boarding and he himself likes photography. His family life is also kinda dysfunctional. The other guy discovered that he was adopted or something like that, and he dislikes his biological father I think, and the reason he moved to a new city has something to do with it. They are still in high school and they have gotten involved in fights and stuff.

I would like to retrieve an old webcomic about a gay romance between a white guy and a black guy that was called "Another Gay Romance", it was on the website tapas apparently, but it is not on here anymore apparently. Does someone knows it? Is it still possible to access it? Or, does someone know who the author is? Webcomics about gay romance with one or more black characters is difficult to find, so, if anything, i would like to have recommendations of webcomics fitting that category. Either with gay males characters or females ones, tho i mostly search for gay male romance.
i have an image for it, can't post it here unfortunately.
