One Punch Man fancomic about masked underling Webcomic
It's been years, but the webcomic/comic was about a masked faceless underline changing from overlord to overlord, conveniently avoiding heros and their work,(and at one point saving a hero's life, only to get (spoilers?)a tracker placed on them by a hero) and eventually getting no work; they go to an overlord/boss and ask why, and the boss states that they've brought the heros straight to every place they've been accepted to.
Masked underling eventually joins the hero force and has an arc where someone tries to claim his identify because he's so generic, and it almost works. Fellow never took off his mask, hecka generic, took place in a One Punch Man universe. Sadly all google searches for it in the past month just brings up the official webcomic, and it's not exactly what I'm seeking-
Creepy Folklore Stories Webcomic
I remember so clearly seeing a beautifully illustrated comic with a collection of folklore stories. They were incredibly creepy and came from a culture that doesn't normally get to share its folklore with a wider audience (maaybe a polynesian country but I'm not sure). One of the stories involved being turned into this terrifying wooden sort of scarecrow. Another story, the one I remember most clearly, is about an animal that made a certain creepy noise. An insect I think. And if you stepped on one, the it made the noise and the other insects heard, and there's this big monster that gets you and turns you into the wooden creepy scarecrow (might be two related stories I'm not sure). The creepy noise sounds like wood creaking, and so the person turned to grinning wood makes the same noises as the animal they stepped on. Something like that. Does anyone know what mythology this is? It's so fascinating and I want to do a project on it but I can't find the original comic no matter how hard I search. Maybe someone has seen the original comic?

"Time Land" Webcomic
Okay, I'm looking for information about an ancient webcomic I read several years ago, and I mean that in decades. The comic centered around 6 human children transported to an alien world where they're attacked by an army of clockwork "Tin Man"-style robots bent on killing them. They do have allies in the form of what I believe was some anthropomorphic animals (a fact that cause the Token Evil Teammate of the group to derisively compare them to Sonic the Hedgehog). Unfortunately, I only remember two of the characters very clearly:
Sterling Silver - Token Evil Teammate, unapologetically classist, misogynist, and racist, and all around A-hole. He's the reason the kids got transported to the new world, although he wasn't supposed to go with them. Apparently his father and grandfather (who follow the whole naming convention, with grandpa being named Golden Silver) had transported their own groups in exchange for the fortune their family enjoys. He has a relationship with one of the three girls in the group in that her family works for his and she is essentially his maidservant, which he tends to be fairly abusive too much to the anger of the other four. Sterling is disliked by pretty much everyone, but they can't just abandon him because apparently he's necessary to get home.
Lucky - Chinese-American. Very much a happy-go-lucky type and friend to all living things. He's very personable, very easygoing, but something of a coward. One of the other girls in the group is his cousin, with whom he's got a good relationship despite them being from different parts of town. Usually drawn with his eyes closed, except on the rare occasions he loses his temper.
Before I lost track of it, the comic introduced two knights who inadvertently saved the kids from the robot army, only for the kids to be informed the two knights were actually servants of another villain and were responsible for the destruction of the local High King 's castle.
There was a second comic that showed up on the same website that centered around a quartet of duck siblings trying to keep from getting killed after their father is murdered.
I think the webcomic was named Time Land, but I have been unable to find anything by that name searching the net. Any help would be appreciated if anyone else remembers this webcomic.
Spoof webcomic about a guy always looking at his own reflection Webcomic
These were a series of webcomics which I believe parodied Tim Buckley, the Ctrl+Alt+Del guy (but it may have been about a different webcomic maker). Each one was a four-panel comic where a guy sees his reflection in a different object, and the rest of the panels just zoomed in on his face. There was one that took place during 9/11.

Unknown Webcomic
Trying to help a friend out trying to identify this webcomic, which he says might be along the lines of "The Undeath of (Name)" or "The Life and Death of (Name)" but he has yet to find anything by those titles.
Realistic art style, set in an Old/Wild West setting, and the only thing he remembers is that the story starts with the protagonist, a cowboy-type (though possibly not literally a cowboy, possibly a prospector of some fashion) climbing out of his coffin and telling his dog that he's decided not to die.
A fan comic involving Silver the hedgehog Webcomic
This is possibly not gonna be answered, but let's try. I remember that around 2009 or so there was a webcomic in Deviantart with Silver the Hedgehog from the Sonic series. I remember the story was an original world with tons of Ocs, taking place in the future of the series. At one point the author made a Youtube animation for it.

Duck avenger & Mickey Mouse comic (2 questions) Webcomic
The first one is about Duck avenger. I read that he was guarding a museum or something like that, and he constantly clashed with some villian who used an electric robot. In the end, the janitor got involved, and defeated the robot with a bucket of water. Funny twist ending.
The other comic was about Mickey Mouse. He and Minnie was at an amusement park, and three teen pals of his were there too (don't know if they tagged along or just happened to be there). One of the teens asked another one why people didn't fall off of the carousels. The other teen said it had to do with the centrifugal force. A little later on, Mickey and Minnie went on a love-tunnel ride, but Mickey had to interrupt it when someone got robbed. He chased the thief onto some carousel, possibly a ferris wheel, and then used this centrifugal force to his advantage. As always, the thief got caught, and Minnie was pretty angry at him for abandonning her in the love tunnel before. And that's all.
So I'd really appreciate it if someone who know either of these two could let me know, cause I remember both so clearly but I srsly can't find them anywhere. Typical...

Blue-skinned boy? Webcomic
Unfortunately, I remember very little - I read it at least six years ago. But I remember checking in with it at some point and realizing that it was still ongoing. It was a full-color comic with a plot. The main character was a young/teen boy. I seem to remember that at some point he underwent some trauma (possibly died), and his skin/eyes/hair became blue-tinted.
He might have had an unusual name like "Kat" or "Zero" - one of those words that is a word, but not common as a name.
Old Warhammer/40k gaming webcomic Webcomic
Trying to recall and or locate a webcomic I used to read in the early (earliest possibly 1999, latest possibly 2005). Maybe the TV Tropes hivemind can help.
The style was a four-panel square comic with Two Gamers on a Couch (sans couch) who were heavily into the Warhammer and Warhammer 40,000 tabletop games (my recollection incorrectly files Ethan and Lucas from Ctrl+Alt+Del as the main characters). The had a closet with a warp portal in it, through which a recurring minor character, a Space Marine (who may or may not have been named Bob) was first introduced.
I remember two specific comics.
- In the first, the main characters are lost at a convention and trying to find the gaming tables. The serious one is about to give up, when the wacky one shouts out "Space Marine armour save!" to the heavens. A voice in the distance responds "3+! 3+!". The serious one is surprised that actually worked.
- In the second, the wacky one is excited to receive a mail-order miniature. He opens the Games Workshop branded box, and a full size camel pops its head out. Much confusion is had. The final panel has a group of stereotypical Bedouin types also standing around in confusion, as the contents of their Camel Workshop package consists of a Dark Elf Cauldron of Blood kit◊.
Any help appreciated.

Unknown Webcomic
I think it was supposed to be, like, an action/drama comic. I read it some time ago, and remember really liking it. I found the comic through an alignment chart meme, searching up one of the quotes in the image so I could find the source. It had a page here, and the premise seemed interesting, so I started reading it. There was this one scene where a paraplegic guy, or someone who was just unable to walk at that point for whatever reason, fell onto a shore or something, and then drowned because he couldn't get back up. That one really fucked with me. Now, years later, I am unable to remember the name, the quote I searched for, or much of the context, and am only about 75% sure that what I remembered was accurate. I'm completely unable to find the same image that led me to the comic in the first place. Does anyone have any idea what I'm talking about, because I really feel like it might be worth a reread.

Dragon Girl story Webcomic
So this has been bugging me for a while. One day I found this new comic, it might have been a manga but it was probably a chinese or korean manhua. It was in color and came out around two years ago.
The MC is a dragon girl, the rebellious daughter of the dragon lord I think. Red or pink hair, sarcastic personality OP. Anyway she has to go out into the world (which was destroyed? It was desertlike either way) in order to find a cure for her sister, and she’s OP so she destroys a bunch of mooks in the process. Eventually she meets a thief who accidentally absorbs the cure into his body, so now the both of them have to go on another quest to get it out.
It was about five chapters long when I first saw it, but now I can’t seem to find the damned thing again. If it helps, it was on the website Mangakakalot.

A web comic. Webcomic
I don't remember where i saw that, but it was a comic, maybe manga-style, it had just one chapter and i don't know if it still exists or the author never finished.
The plot was about a fat, unatractive guy, lonely and maybe depressive who goes to sleep, cries and when he woke up, he was turned into a overly beautiful hot girl for no apparent reason. I remember the colors to be a bit dark and i remembering him saying that everything was fine, that everything was okay, and crying while trying to put in his head that his life was okay just before he slept.
Webcomic using 3D models with a NSFW directors cut version Webcomic
I remember a webcomic I discovered on this very site in 2009. It had two versions - the "director's cut one" was very NSFW and used 3D models AFAIK. One issue involved a guy being captured and naked, chained in a chair, with some villains (?) interrogating him. This is the issue I found on TV Tropes, but can't remember where. Does someone know which comic I'm talking about?

Fantasy-Comedy Webcomic featuring a Hydra Webcomic
Does anyone remember an old webcomic, probably died out since it didn't become too successful, about a warrior girl either fighting a hydra, or working for an organization that had a hydra symbol because the founder fought one? The comedy style was a bit like the RPG parodies from 8-Bit Theater and Order Of The Stick, with heroes making jokes about fumbling dice and so on. The artstyle was kinda similar to Penny Arcade at around 2002-2003, so it might be from around that time.
One joke I remember was a Take That! against Scott Kurtz, where he's shown suing the Cookie Monster (for causing him to get fat) and the cookie monster says "Oh No! Me gonna have to sell ass on street!"

Old Mech Comic Webcomic
I'm looking for an older webcomic about giant fighting mecha. The plot was primarily about a bunch of clans fighting to be on top of the leaderboard, which for some reason or another gave a lot of power to the winning clans.
I remember one of the big details was that the world had basically gone to shit, and the city it took place in had a huge hologram in place of the sky.
