opentrying to find webcomic from one remembered page Webcomic
i know this isn't a whole lot to go off of, but i think it's a thorough remembering. this was the opening page of a chapter, i think it had three panels. the panel layout of the comic as a whole were dynamic and pretty large in the webpage. in the page, a female character with her back towards us is playing the organ. in the last panel, the view turns towards her, showing that she's wearing a costume based on a famous horror monster. i believe she was dressed as frankenstein's monster, but it might have been a vampire/dracula or a ring-type ghost girl. i remember the main format of the comic was that the cast of characters would do a chapter-long thing, for example a mystery chapter, and the page i'm remembering was the introduction to a halloween/horror chapter. the webcomic definitely had a page on tvtropes, and had a low to medium-sized page.
openParticular Haus of Decline Comic Webcomic
I could use help finding a particular webcomic for a TLP I'm doing.
The webcomic Haus of Decline by Alex Ross at one point had a multi-part (I think something like sixty images) comic which is kicked off by a character realizing they're in a comic strip and realizing that their whole existence is in four panels, with the last one having them declare "I want to live!". The Haus of Decline website has seemingly been replaced by a Chinese bootleg reseller, and both Twitter and Bsky are godawful when it comes to trying to find a particular image in their archives. Anyone know what I'm talking about?
openZelda Webcomic about the Kakariko well. Webcomic
I remember reading a webcomic that was about the well in kakariko village in the Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. It had Link ranting about how there are rotting zombies and other horrifying things in the village's water supply. The cucoo lady stares at Link as he runs away, then bites the head off a cucoo. I thought it was Awkward Zombie, but I can't find it, and Google being the ai cesspool it is not, googling it didn't help.
openAPP Ripman: The Bloody Halloween Webcomic
I remember reading this webcomic on Tapas called “Ripman: The Bloody Halloween” back in 2013-2014.
I wanted to reread it again, but I can only find it behind the Patreon paywall, now. Then I also found out that there’s not a page on TV Tropes, either.
openWebcomic that's like a dark superhero subversion thing Webcomic
I can't remember the name but - The main hero has like mass muscle growth - there's a villain that does a mass skinning of a shopping mall with a very large and detailed wideshot and for some reason i remember there was like a fun fact about aerith from ffvii being there as a cameo
and also that everyone's not dead but rather as an effect of that specific antagonist's powers to goad the protagonist into taking action

openghost summoning webcomic? Webcomic
(reposted from someone else on another site, with permission.)
It was either hosted on tumblr or its own website so dont bother looking through webtoons or anything like that.
The premise of the comic is that a group of college friends attend a weird lecture by a crazy old dude. After the lecture they steal the book the crazy man had and mess around with it and accidentally summons something from the graveyard. Weird things happen to them as the 3 ghost demon business suit looking guys try to force them to make a deal to de-summon them.
The main character was a glasses wearing dweeb with anxiety with light hair who was in constant denial about the spooky events happening such as seeing moving shadows and ghosts. He gets haunted by a ghost dude who is very excited by being seen. His eyesight is so bad he is practically blind without them.
Main character's best friend is a black haired dude who is less in denial about the whole thing and gets pretty good at figuring out the book and learning about the "magic" from it.
The last too are a hyperactive girl who stole the book in the first place and her tall and quiet friend. They like to jump on top and ride trains.
Also there is a bully character who gets roped into all this and he is Not Happy.
Notable moments I remember: -Black haired dude demonstarting he knows magic now to the in denial dude by making a coffe mug float and then catch fire. -Ghost demon #2 making a piccolo out of the main character's shin bone -All 3 Ghost demons combining into a scary bull monster -Hypergirl's tall quiet best friend is a cyborg??? -When the bully confronts hypergirl and lifts her up to fight her, tall and quiet friend lifts him up too. Hypergirl then comments that this is just like a megazord. -Bully tries to hotwire the crazy dude's car and the wires try to eat him -Final showdown is when everyone is trapped in the school as all the windows and doors disappear and the place is slowly flooding.
It was definitely digitally drawn, with thin and like scratchy/roughish outlines. Hardly any round edges. It was colored with usually a dark pallet, mostly since the course of the comic took place overnight.
The general time frame I read it is 2017-2019ish.
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.
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 cottoncandyramenopenWebtoon 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.
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?
openA 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!)
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_RopenAn 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 JS8openWebcomic 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 BeaCandyopen"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?
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!
