openNo Title Webcomic
A webcomic parodying Breakable Weapons in a videogame. Specifically a character questions why spellbooks degrade with use and then sees someone light a spellbook on fire then throw it at the enemy.
Edit: PPPSSC answered with Magic Tomes
from Brawl in the Family which is definitely the joke I remember but Khantalas and I remember different art - does anyone know if anyone else did a version of the strip?

Okay, I'm not sure whether it's a webcomic or a regular manga, but I know it takes place in Japan, at an art college.
It's about an art student who meets another art student who says she wants to be his disciple. He says yes, but he isn't that involved in art anymore, so she tries to force him back into loving art. She, however, continues to become more and more aggressive and antagonizing, to the point where she's doing him more harm than good.
In one of the major arcs that I remember, his friends all decide to display their pieces in a gallery, and they coerce him into putting a piece of his up too. However, the gallery they get says that they can have it for free if he sells a piece of art, and if he can't, then they'll have to pay double. His friends then lock him in a room until the gallery goes on so he can paint. He gets really far into a piece until a girl comes in and spills something all over it.
From what I remember, the main character was a blonde pushover who really seemed depressed, with father issues stemming from his dad pushing him into art. The main heroine is the bossy, black-haired girl who seems to be more problematic than helpful. Most of the other characters are dicks, always talking down to the main character and making him feel like shit, when he is usually in the right.
Please help. I didn't even like it, but the fact that I cannot remember the name is driving me nuts. Also, I feel like it had a one word name, or a small phrase, that seemed almost out of place for the plot.

I read this webcomic maybe 1-2 yrs ago but forgot its name and lost the book mark. My memory begins with some guy in the woods/jungle trying to hide from the empire's soldiers who are hunting him. He either has amnesia or is running from something in his past. I recall him being ex military. Or at the very least he has enhanced combat skills and abilities.
He comes across either a group of rebels, or maybe an religious orphanage hiding in the woods/jungle. I think one of the elder members of the refuge tries to counsel him about his past. And one of the kids either idolizes him, asks for training, or something that forces them to interact in the story. Eventually something one of them says/does gives away their position and the army comes and slaughters them all. They might have taken the kids hostage/slavery. But i think they killed them all. The only two people who I remember escaping are the main character and the one kid. They flee into the city.
I remember that some scary special operative from the empire (?) hires a cyborg assassin woman to hunt him down and kill him. The meeting takes place in a bar. I think its implied if she fails, her contract is revoked and she dies. Some kind of arangement where they gave her new limbs and she kills for them? I vaguely recall her being dressed as a cowgirl (the hat, cutofff jeans, boots). She looked completely human but i parts of her (arms?) turned into weapons. I think the operative hiring her says something to make her flip out and display her weapon arm.
Where i stopped reading there just started a chase/fight scene in town. Running and leaping from roof top kind of stuff. The main character has some kind of super human/physic/magic power that let him survive and be a super soldier. Which is why they want him dead? But when he uses them some one vaguely important (the emporer/king ?) can sense it. Maybe has a flashback.

Some years ago I've stumbled upon a comic on the net, took a liking to it and forgot about it, until recently when something with a similar theme jogged my memory; but after scouring all of my bookmarks and googling xyz times, I still can't find it and it's driving me crazy!
The premise goes something like this: the comic is set in some sort of savage horror low fantasy world (think Tarzan or a bit like Conan) and the main protagonists are a group of female warriors, some sort of amazon beastmasters who are bonded to these huge beasts that act as companions and bodyguards as well as riding animals/beasts of burden. The beasts are not mindless albeit not very intelligent, though intelligent enough for every one of them to have a different character (and outlook; they are not generic, though they are all of the same species). The bond between the amazons and the beasts is somewhat emotional, so when one of them is upset/angry/happy etc., the other can feel that sentiment and acts accordingly/similarly. The beasts look somewhat like big bald saber-toothed ogres that walk on all fours but can stand upright if needed (probably last of their kind).
IIRC the group (there is 5-6 girls, each with her beast) sets out from their village to counter some big threat that endangered them all, some sort of...necromancer? Something to do with death or undead all in all. Which they have to defeat before he closes in with the village or the whole world could be in danger...and that's about all I can remember.
The art for the comic/graphic novel was beautiful and the author was...Korean? Japanese? Something like that. Though the art style was not typical manga or some other form of eastern animation, more western like...The comic was a project of sort and I think the idea for it was to actually go into print but the guy needed more money to make that happen. I looked on the kickstarter too but with no luck.
So! If anyone has any idea what this comic/graphic novel could be, please help and thank you!

This was a one-off webcomic. I remember hearing that it disappeared from one site but was saved and put on another, either by the artist or a fan. The way it was set up, you could only view one panel at a time. The style reminded me of Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal.
It was about the writer's childhood fears in the late Seventies and early Eighties. The comic was him telling a psychiatrist about it all, and his narration continued through a series of flashbacks. The flashbacks ended with an incongruous sex dream. The frame story ended with a lame gag where the psychiatrist was really an alien.

I think I got linked to this through the old Nightmare Fuel page, or possibly Troper Tales. It's vanished since the cleanup and I can't find any links to it through any Trope pages. It had a short story format, but out of many I only remember 3.
The first is about a maiden kidnapped by a dragon who wakes to find herself in a dark room with fleshy walls. Tendrils reach towards her and transform her into a giant beating heart. The panel zooms back to reveal that dragon fetuses are developed without hearts, thus mother dragons must kidnap humans to transmogrify into the vital organ to give their children life. It concludes with an observation that a slain dragon's heart continues to beat for several days after the death of its host.
The second is is about a boy opening a can of female-shaped gummies and finds that one of them is alive and sapient, and loses his appetite. The living gummie wishes to be eaten and befriends him, devising a plan to get him to consume her siblings through various food-related games. The boy wishes to keep her companionship forever, but she reveals that she will pass her expiration date within hours, and her greatest wish is to fulfill her original purpose. The boy tearfully consumes her at her behest, musing on his brief friendship.
The third begins with a boy who has covered every inch of his property with various rain collecting devices, which he tends meticulously each time it rains, fearing to lose a single drop of the precious precipitation. After the deluge concludes, he scans over each vessel with a strange detector. Containers that beep have their contents divided into progressively smaller portions which are each scanned until he's certain he's isolated the very molecules that emit the detected characteristic. Those minute drops are then transferred to a large tank of other similar drops, at which point it is revealed that the boy once had a companion who transmuted himself into a puddle of sapient water, but lacking cohesion evaporated into the wind. The boy has spent many years and will spend many more collecting the molecules that once made up his companion until he is complete enough to be returned to a humanoid form.

Okay, so, what I'm looking for is a lengthy-ish Calvin and Hobbes fancomic. It involves a mid-to-late teenage Calvin taking Susie to a Halloween school dance, and after running into some trouble with some bullies at the dance, Calvin and Susie decide to go trick-or-treating instead (something either Calvin or Hobbes had proposed doing instead of the dance). I also remember that it was a black and white comic.

I'm frankly embarrassed that I cannot find this on my own.
Webcomic about a young girl (4-5) and "her" three small demons. I think its called (Girls name)'s Demons. It is not the comic Aya's Demon. Realworld-ish, Modern day, rated all ages.
The three, goon-like Demons hid from their boss in the girls room and over time they become her pets/not-so-imaginary-friends.
one of the story arcs has a horse(unicorn or a nightmare) I think
She is young, innocent and not very deep. They are more complex/adult in there plans (than a 4 year old) but they're also lazy/stupid. They either messed up and are hiding, or they were hiding to be lazy and get out of work.
I'm fairly sure in color (at least in my head its in color). She likes bear-hugging them as if they're plushies.
Most of the story that I remember takes place in her room and her back yard. But it starts out with the demons in a normal city until they hide in her house (more suburban environment)
I haven't read it in a while, so I think its on my old-lost-list so it would have been active 2011-ish.

A short comic I saw a few times on Tumblr a while ago. It was short enough to fit in one post and as far as I know it wasn't from a series/didn't have any continuation. It was about a girl eating dinner with her parents when she tells them that she's a magical girl. They respond like she just came out to them ("it's just a phase, you'll forget about it") They don't believe her, and she even transforms at the table and they still tell each other that she'll get over it. I can't find it anywhere
openOne-shot comic about Wild Child being rehabilitated Webcomic
I'm trying to find a one-off comic about a Doctor/Professor finding a child raised by wolves, then adopting and raising her to be a proper lady in order to test his theory about rehabilitating feral children. It showed a few scenes of the Doctor teaching her various skills and manners (And disciplining her with a bag literally labeled "discipline" or something similar.), with the second-to-last panel showing that was successful. It ended with someone asking the doctor if he realizes that the proper "lady" he raised is actually a boy, to which he replies "Yes, and?".
It was only about one page long, with only a few panels (Around ten, I think.), and had a diary entry style narration.
I vaguely remember it being on Deviantart, but I've had no luck finding on there. Or anywhere, actually. Does anyone know?
Edited by Blue_the_ThiefopenA webcomic about a family of vampire-like monsters Webcomic
I remember reading a comic that wasn't hugely popular that was about a family (a mom, a dad, a sister, and a song- who is the main character) of monsters with vampire-like characteristics (fangs, bat-like transformations, hypnotism.) They're forced to hide in a cave because the outside world apparently hates and fears them.
It started out with the son exploring the cave, getting close to the entrance because he's curious about the outside work. But he gets caught by his sister, then he gets in trouble with his dad. His dad gets fed up with him, then hits the mom for trying to defend the son. And then the father decides to banish the son into the outside world, and that's where I stopped reading because it when on a short hiatus and I lost the link.
If anyone could help me remember the webcomic, it would be really nice. Please and thank you.

i remember there was this great World War I webcomic where the actual countries were physically fighting it out. Each country was dressed as a stereotype. I remember one image of Great Britain being pissed off was a trope image for something, but i can't remember what. Thanks!
openA Boy and His X style comic Webcomic
Basically, the webcomic is about a young(?) boy who is best friends with a demon. Said demon is purple, really short, and has really tall ears (I specifically remember thinking it looked sort of like a Crobat with arms/feet, though this would've been unintentional).
It's a gag-a-day type comic, generally with pretty dark humor. I remember one strip was about the boy's mom being dead, so he asks his demon friend to resurrect her. They do so, and they end up regretting it because she immediately starts nagging at them. Or something along those lines. I'm trying to see what else I can remember.
I believe it's still ongoing. At the very least, it was several months ago when I got linked to it.
Does this sound familiar to anyone?
openwinged people webcomic? Webcomic
- set on an island of winged people — the wings were feathered but magical, not biological
- there was a cold open featuring a blue-winged female character falling through a dark void as her wings dissolved, and eventually landing; no context was given as far as I read
- most characters wore red, spotted facepaint along their cheekbones
- the main character was a teenage boy who had been born without wings, who was very scientifically curious?
- this was some kind of rare, unlucky event; there was a special name for wingless people (that I can't recall)
- it was implied, right at the point where I lost track of it, that this kid was going to be subject to some kind of ritual as part of a festival — maybe sacrificed? it was left ominously vague
- there was an interlude to a group of wingless characters on a ship, I think it was a flying ship? they were headed to the island and their intentions seemed suspect, but very little was explained
- it updated really infrequently, like, twice a month or something
openWebcomic featuring a Deconstruction of Snow White? Webcomic
I stumbled across this no more than 4-5 years ago. The gist is that it is a webcomic that takes place after the hero (might've been a prince, can't remember) awoke the princess from her curse and they married. It should be noted that her name wasn't actually Snow White, but the comic obviously was taking its own spin on the tale. It featured the two trying to get to know each other, how mysterious she was and questioned whether or not the marriage was really a good idea. I remember a scene where the princess gets upset at the sight of an apple on her plate, and the hero apologizes. I also remember the last page of the comic I read where the hero realized that the forest he rescued the princess from was angry that she left and the animals were attacking the castle in revenge. (Or something similar to that.)
My google fu has failed me utterly here. I do hope it hasn't been deleted off of the internet.
openA particular webcomic Webcomic
Sorry for the less that helpful title. I am trying to remember the name of a webcomic I had started reading a fair while back. The main characters were a hero (I think?) and a guy from a family of super villains who live together.
