open1910s lesbian (?) comic strip Print Comic
I remember seeing them online. They were likely from the 1910s and the entire joke was two women kissing and taking forever to part from each other while slapstick happens at the end. I don't know if the kissing was platonic or romantic though.
openGerman Nintendo comic Print Comic
I just remembered I used to read this german Nintendo comic book or whatever it was when I was little... But alas, I can't for the life of me recall what it was or what its name was. I know it had a comic, but I don't know if it was a comic book or some sort of magazine.
I remember it had two parts:
- One part involved kids using game cartridges or whatever to give themselves superpowers and win at games. I remember two of these: one where they use Yoshi's Cookie (or whatever game it was that had Yoshi in it) to give one of the kids a Yoshi tongue and appetite which made him win a cookie eating contest, and another one where they do the same thing with a Donkey Kong game (making one of the kids highly athletic) which helps them win a basketball game.
- The other part involved a kid using Link's ocarina from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. He first plays Song of Time which makes him very short, and then he plays Epona's Song which makes Epona appear before him. Then there's this... "girl" character (I can't really remember) who dares/challenges the kid to jump over the swing in the playground on Epona. He tries to jump over and... I can't remember what happens next. I think the horse doesn't make it over the swing and falls onto it halfway over, but all I remember is a comic shot of Epona from the front situated right above the swing.
openManga about a detective kid Print Comic
In the first chapter, the boy solves the mystery of his (classmate?)'s father's suicide, proving it a murder rather than a suicide, commited by a professor in the university the victim worked at. It was also shown at the end of the chapter that the boy turned into a fox when he went to sleep.
openmain characters fighting Print Comic
I think this was a western comic, but it might have been a manga. Less likely but still possible is some other form of media entirely. I remember there being a scene where two of the main characters are fighting over something one of them did or allowed to happen. One character is really laying into the one who did something (possibly let another character die) while the other guy just takes it, and when bystanders pull him off, the other guy just asks "Why did you stop?" Help me, tropers, you're my only hope!
openSearching for a dark fantasy comic Print Comic
Might have been a western comic, might have been a manhua, either way I don't remember much of it. It definetly wasn't japanese, might have been chinese or korean; I read a print version, the comic itself was pretty dark but had a beautiful art style, not colored; I remember a black-haired girl waking up in some kind of a train with a bunch of monsters (that hate her), who later turn into puppets in an enchanted forest? I couldn't make out most of the plot, but there was also a giant dreamkeeper lady who cried dreams, a guy who wore a cauldron for a hat, also pretty sure some manner of cannibalism was involved. Comic itself went out around 2009, couldn't find anything about it then, same as now. All help is appreciated!
openLooking for a comic I read with a great commentary on the White Savior complex. Print Comic
I remember reading a few pages of a comic at a friend's house which had the following context and dialogue, roughly paraphrased. Main character is a white woman, and the setting was science fiction with an alien tribal race.
Tribe is in trouble, and is facing a powerful enemy. White main character shows up to help.
Tribal woman: "You have come to help us. Have you brought weapons? Are you a trained negotiator? Do you have information on our foe?"
Main character: "Uh... no."
Tribe then proceeds to reject her help. I need it b/c it's a perfect critique of the white savior complex and voluntourism, and I wanted to reference it in a piece I'm doing.
Thanks for any help :)
openFantasy/Romance Manga? Print Comic
All I remember is a chapter involving glasses that allows wearers to see red strings of fate and special nail polish that allows the wearer to cut them and retie them to change relationships. One of the male characters might have had a name similar to Ryu...

This manga is about a girl who falls in love with a guy, cursed with a swan wing for an arm. Is a shojo manga. Her father, a king I believe, is quite the bishonen. I'm looking for the name, that's all.
