openWorld War I webcomic Webcomic
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!
openFantasy Comic of some sort. Webcomic
The comic had a TV Tropes page. It was about two female heroes. One of them had some sort of godly ancestor The comic was in black and white. At one point one of the 2 main characters is told to pull a lever of a specific color (I think green), but they pull the wrong lever because the Comic isn't in Color. The Comic was around since before 2012.
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?

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

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.

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 trying to re-find a particular webcomic episode I saw once that was loaded with trope examples. Perhaps someone here can remember it?
Basically the hero was approached by the Quest Giver, but remarks that he's already completed that quest (Sequence Breaking), much to the quest giver's surprise. He also admits that he hid in the corner where the boss couldn't reach and sniped him (Benevolent Architecture).

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.

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!

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.

Looking for three webcomics: 1. A beautifully drawn "short story" about a monk who builds a clockwork automoton. It rings the churchbells, until he dies and can no longer wind and repair it. T Hen, once a year, the churchbells ring all on their own...
2. A superhero webcomic about a genius inventor with no arms. He instead uses lots of tech.
3. Giant Robot comic. Kind post-apocalytpic, but the story is set in a city full of different "clans". The clans fight each other using robots, and everything is set up so they can't harm the citizens. One detail was that the sky is "fake" because the real sky is damaged by pollution.

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.

It's a comic I saw on the web, but it may have been print originally.
It consists of a series of panels showing the living room of a house at various points in history, including long before the house was built and long after it's gone. It's in extremely achronic order, and some of the panels are split into two or more sections so that they show multiple time periods at once.
I thought it was called "Time", but searching for that only yields the xkcd one.

[there is a preist who has a curse that manifests itself as chains and there is a knight who can use magic to make her already impressive abilities even more powerfull. I think the guild thing the knight belonged to was called the lethan knights or something like that.
Edit:I found it. It was called serpamia flare

I'm putting this under webcomic, but it was actually a manga. But for some reason manga wasn't an option, so since I read it online I figured webcomic was close enough.
I'm looking for a story, I think it was a short story so it might have been part of a collection, where kids who were left to die of exposure in feudal Japan are saved by the trees of a forest. The trees let the kids (or their spirits, or something like that) live inside them. There's a girl who meets one of these kids in the modern era and they fall in love, etc. And at the end of the story she's coming to visit him and she sees the forest on fire and thinks he's died. I don't remember whether he actually did or not, and I'd like to read it again to find out. But I can't remember its title, and I don't know any other way to find it. Just in case anyone else thinks of this, it's not Hotarubi no Mori e. I've read that too, possibly very close to when I read this one I'm looking for. They are very similar stories, so it's no wonder that stumbling across Hotarubi no Mori e again reminded me of this one, but I'm certain they were actually unrelated.
I'm pretty sure that this is a web comic. A while back I was browsing tv tropes and found a cool webcomic, but had to put away my laptop. Now I can't find it again. It starred what I think was like, some completely white alien character who was a little bit rainbowy, and had a companion with it of some sort. I think that the alien person might have been a non binary, not sure. Haven't found anything in the ambiguous gender tag. The style seemed as if the comic was done in watercolor. I'm extremely iffy on most of the specifics, all I can really remember was a floaty, surreal creature, and the colors white and mix of rainbow. Plz halp.
