openMid 2010s, homestuck lineless artstyle, kids mistakenly send themselves to hell Webcomic
Around 2013-2015, I remember reading the start of a webcomic. I only really remember 2 plot points from it. It was about this group of kids who tried summoning a demon, but the reverse happened and they mistakenly sent the entire group to hell, scattered across the plane. However hell was not stereotypical fire and brimstone, and instead was very alien looking with forest and areas of housing.
I remember only one of the characters designs: A "Dave Strider" lookalike, an albino male teenager, with white hair and white skin, wearing glasses and acting very aloof.
Two plot points I remember were of two of the 5 or so kids meeting their respective demon.
One of the girl characters, a very sweet but weird kid, manages to come out of the woods and breaks into a demon's home to look for a phone or food. The house was empty, so she was able to get out of the open. However the demon who lived there shortly returned home and panicked/was scared of the girl when she was discovered.
The dave lookalike got arrested for looking so weird, and while arrested, he met a demon lawyer that immediately realized that he wasn't a demon, and was trying to figure out a loophole to get him out and possibly back home.
The artstyle was either lineless, made in paint with hard edges, or was lined with colored lineart. (It's been several years, but it is what it is.) The art style reminded me a lot of Andrew Hussie's lineless art style, for example: The dramatic close up of Jadesprite and Davesprite's faces in [S] Cascade.
If anyone recognizes this comic, I'll really appreciate it! Thank you for your time <:7!
open"Don't you watch Dragonball Z? Firing into a cloud of smoke does nothing!" Webcomic
I recall a particular occasion of the Smoke Shield trope which ended with the attackee calling out to the attacker "Don't you watch Dragonball Z? Firing into a cloud of smoke never works!" (Or something to that effect.)
I can't recall where I had seen that though. I want to say it was in Bob and George as it was their style of humor, but I can't find where that had happened. I might be remembering wrong and it wasn't even from a webcomic, but that's my first guess.
Does this ring any bells? Anyone know where this was from?
resolved Government Super Gender-Bender webcomic Webcomic
The protagonist — I think he works for the government or something — meets someone at a restaurant. The person swaps his drink for something else (or slips it in). It turns out it was Applied Phlebotinum, and the next morning the protagonist has not only transformed into a woman, she also effortlessly cartwheels out of bed without meaning to. She now has superhuman strength and reflexes. Maybe higher intelligence too, I don't remember. Anyway, it turns out she's been involuntarily recruited to some secret government program, and it involved giving her this enhancement, which for some reason invariably turns you into a woman. I forget what the government program was all about.
She gets taken to a space station, which is the program's base of operations, and one of the last things I remember is her learning to play a zero gravity sport they invented. (But it isn't The Fuse. I think the sport had a similar sort of nickname as ziggyball, though.)
The protagonist wasn't the only recruit, there were others. I think they had some name, but I don't remember what it was. When I looked at Differently Powered Individual, the term "Angels" stuck out to me, but that might be a false positive. (And it definitely isn't Angels 2200, despite other similarities like space and Improbably Female Cast.)
Edited by NoriMoriresolved Artists collaboration and competition to create story Webcomic
I once saw a website where a lot (> 20) artists did collaborate to create a story of a giant world where every artist created their own character.
Every week 2 artists had to draw the encounter of their 2 created characters and had to draw how this encounter concluded. Then the work of one of the two artists were selected to be canon.
On the website there was a giant map as a overview and you were able to view all the created versions of the webcomics.
openWebcomic website with lizard, fish, and fast food worker (Solved!) Webcomic
There was this old-style webcomic website with a few comics by the same person. One of them was about these fish in a fishtank who started doing politics. This very bad fish started to pull ahead in the polls by doing propaganda.
There was also one starring a lizard of some sort. She was pretty intelligent and went on adventures. I think she was a kid's pet but broke out of her cage.
There was another about a man who worked in a fast food shop that sold tacos. I remember there was a subplot where he had a girlfriend, but then he realized that she thought they were pretending to date while he thought they were really dating.
Edited by BeaCandyopenAn early animatic by Emilyamiao Webcomic
An animatic (set to Baby, It's Cold Outside) by Emilyamiao for the webcomic Catechism
, that has since disappeared. If anyone has a link it could be accessed again.
(The comic has no relation to the actual catechism.)
Edited by JS8resolved Comic about having large breasts Webcomic
It was a comic about the advantages and disadvantages of having large breasts. I remember one chapter had the main character putting her phone in between her breasts and setting the alarm to vibrate so it would wake her up.
resolved Pokémon fan comic on Smackjeeves Webcomic
This might be difficult considering the state of comic's origin, but I'm confident someone here has read this.
This was a Pokémon webcomic on the now-defunct Smack Jeeves, and I remember it for being noteworthy for the fact it showed Pokemon death and it WASN'T based on someone's Nuzlocke run.
So, it starts out with this brown-haired girl who ends up reluctantly getting a wild Zangoose. They also keep running into this guy and his Golduck who both have disfigurements thanks to some explosion or something.
A pivotal point is when the girl and the Zangoose come across the fresh corpse of a Sneasel that's chained to a tree.
They both freak out, but eventually a storm comes and both of them and the corpse are taken in by a helicopter.
That's where I remember it leaving off and not continuing at all since I believe the author/artist only did it as a hobby (even having to state so in a description at one point). I think it got cancelled.
open"Swim Club" webcomic created by a troper Webcomic
First of all, I apologize if this isn't the place to ask this, but I'm out of ideas and I've been trying to find this comic for a while.
Around five years ago, in the TV Tropes forum, a troper named Muttx SC mentioned on the forum they created a webcomic called Swim Club - a story set in the eighties about teens in a high school swim club who find some sort of portal to a horror dimension in their school pool.
I think the person abandoned the project after around 100 pages. I can't find any information about them or the comic, no real names, archived pages, online footprint or nothing. The troper is no longer active (and might've just joined the site to promote the comic, which is kind of a dick move, but that's a different issue), so it seems like the comic's disappeared from the face of the Earth.
Does anyone have any idea of where I could find it?
And again, sorry if I'm using this feature wrong, I'll drop it if that's the case.
Edited by Mac_RopenA recent webcomic Webcomic
A few weeks ago I started reading a new webcomic. It's fairly new, and only had about four pages or so, but was made by somebody who's made webcomics before. It's in full color. Think it's updated once a week. I don't remember much, but it's about a woman who's a goddess in diguise or something and is a huge celebrity. I think the plot so far is that she runs into some old acquaintances of hers in public.
(But PLEASE mention anything that sounds remotely close to it!)
openBug boy or something Webcomic
I am trying to remember the name of a web-based interactive, episodic cartoon. The protagonist was a kid who is part bug (antenna growing out of head) and whose pet roly poly ran (or rolled) away. Each episode represented a different stage in his search. Completing the episode required you click on different things like a point-and-click adventure game. Throughout his search he was followed by a one-armed man in a Napoleon costume and a psionic frog carrying the man’s severed arm in a glass box. The tone of the cartoon was mysterious and surreal. I never saw the end and was always curious what happened. Does anyone remember watching this in the late 90s?
resolved 3d webcomic Webcomic
I'm trying to find a webcomic that I lost track of after the site changed providers. All I can really remember about the name is that it was a portmanteau between "Mercenary" and "Heiress", but no combination of spellings got me anything even remotely related to what I'm looking for.
openWebtoon about elf girl who gets saved by cigar-smoking guardian Webcomic
There was a webtoon I remember reading on Manga Dex that I'm having trouble finding again.
The first chapter details this elf mom and her daughter being maid slaves to this asshole in a mansion somewhere. The mom assures her daughter that after all these years, they will escape together and be free at a specific time at night. Sadly, the asshole kills the mom before that happens. The mom gives her dying breath to tell her daughter that a man at the top of the hill outside will come and protect her. So, the daughter runs as fast as she can to get to the top of the hill. Time passes and a portal opens up; out comes a guy with black short hair and a hoodie, smoking on a cigar that lets out blue fumes.
In the 2nd chapter, the asshole comes out with two bulky minions to try and get back the girl, but the cigar-smoking guy kicks their asses as well as the asshole. He goes back through his portal and the elf girl is sleeping safely on the bed.
That's all I remember.
resolved Webcomic with exiled green alien Webcomic
The webcomic was about a green alien who was exiled by his people to a barren planet. He told them that planet stinks and they should cut off his nose first. So they do. It wasn't actually a Rhetorical Request Blunder, they knew what he meant, but did it just to be mean. Anyway, he gets to the planet and discovers humans there. I think they were mining? I can't remember much else, this was a few years ago. I think the humans were at war with... slug things, maybe? That's all I can recall.
opencomic about oranges and clones Webcomic
It was in black and white and was about a boy/man who gets stranded on a planet with a clone of his (male) friend. Crates of oranges are everywhere, spilling out of a rocket or something similar. The two describe how they got here: the protagonist fell in love with his friend who proceeded to go missing. He then discovered that the friend was a clone of someone else, and that there were many other identical clones. He was very upset and then somehow ended up getting on a rocket ship or something filled with oranges and crashed on this planet with a clone of the same person his friend was a clone of. At first he acted cold to this clone, but in the end, he offers an orange to him and they become friends.
I think the title was something like "The importance of the orange" but in another language
It was a French comic that had a style similar to a manga (I may have been reading a French translation).
I'm not sure if this was a webcomic or print comic but I read it online.
Edited by cottoncandyramenresolved textless comic about death Webcomic
This was a comic I had seen reposted on to tumblr quite a while ago, possibly as far back as 2014? It had no dialogue and showed an older man riding a bicycle around what looked like a little Italian town, drinking wine straight from the bottle. A beautiful blonde woman also riding a bike playfully steals his wine and he chases her around, and eventually it shows her face as like a grim reaper/skeleton, and reveals that she led him into the path of an oncoming car.
I'd just like a link if possible or the name of the artist. Thanks!
openWebcomic about a slave called nameless Webcomic
There is a fantasy webcomic where the main character was enslaved, then purchased by a demon. The demon is fairly androgynous looking and may be able to shapeshift. There are various fantasy races. The main character lost her name by becoming a slave, so is referred to as 'nameless'. She has a 'battle slave' despite being a slave herself. There is a character with a artificial arm, a woman who may be a doctor. There is a female fighter with a horn that she losses in an battle on the streets.

I remember this absurdist gag a day comic. One strip parodied Dr who by having him stop a leavking dam with his giant forehead.
