Master Recs: Webcomics (Vol. 1)

I enjoy webcomics. I like being exposed to accessible art, to witness the evolution of artists and storytellers who bring their individual viewpoints to the table, expressing themselves through the medium of free comic books! I spend an inordinate amount of leisure time perusing the old sequential literature. As a result, I follow a ton of people that would give it to me. Now, I wish to recommend a few of these works from my constantly expanding list. I shall begin with a small taster of five, currently ongoing projects to wet your appetite. Let us go.

Preeny Has to Repeat 6th Grade by Jasmine Coté

Preeny is a brush-tailed kitty, fluffy both in appearance and personality, and she might just be the Chosen One to save the world from Darkness – as it is often the case. This comic vaunts a peculiar shtick: the setting is populated by adoptable furry OCs the artist has bought from DeviantArt kids, effectively creating a Kingdom Hearts style fictional universe for the Mid-2000's Sparkledog subculture. This works both as a unique selling point and as a clever metatextual conceit that informs the themes of the story, which is an earnest celebration of creativity, childhood and self-expression, untainted by the cynicism of "You Posted Cringe." It's funny, cute, sincere and it hits you right in the feelings.

HELLO FROM HALO HEAD by Batshaped

The author describes it as "An exploration of the multitudes a person experiences as a response to trauma. Also cartoon animal adventures. I promise it's mostly funny. it's a trauma comedy! a TRAUMEDY!!!!" Indeed, I would say it's an apt summary. The strip began life as a series of Animal Crossing fan comics which would eventually spin into a darkly humorous, twisted yet oddly wholesome deconstruction of kinks and emotional repression. Soon enough, it was rebooted and morphed into the understated, original masterpiece that it is today. Every page oozes with ethereal colours, a delicate yet decisive trait and subtle foreshadowing as a yet unclear narrative starts taking shape behind the surface of "cartoon animal adventures." A rewarding read for those who enjoy to obsess over every detail and pick apart allegories. It's the Thinking Man's TRAUMEDY, if you will.

Haus of Decline: Gay Comics by Haus of Decline

Sometimes, all you need to create a widely appealing classic is a good set-up, a punchline and impeccable comedic timing, all of which encapsulated into the confines of a traditional 4-panel strip. Actually, now that I have typed it, that is one of the most difficult crafts to master. Haus of Decline is a ubiquitous work that has managed to achieve the coveted "Meme Status", swimming in the immediate periphery of your Internet experience. You might be aware of it thanks to that one Steven Universe joke that stands tall as the most succinct and accurate parody of that show. As of right now, I am yet to encounter a single strip that isn't a comedic slam dunk or at least chuckle worthy. If you enjoy a spoonful of irreverent, queer, scatological, sometimes personal humour in your breakfast bowl than this is the cereal box for you!

Molly's Future Mishaps by Peyton Partyhorn

It's the year 2000, the Earth has blown up. Right before that, humans managed to send a rocket full of sea slugs to Europa, one of Jupiter's satellites. It is now the year 3000 on Europa. Molly the slug meets Jo, a sea bunny time traveller from the year 4000. After a soda-related debacle, they both wind up at the end of Time itself. The titular mishaps ensue. Molly's Future Mishaps presents an overly complex amalgamation of premises, each more outlandish than the last, that lays the foundation for what is, in essence, a straightforward character-driven piece. It explores a group of people attempting to finagle their way across Life, their feelings, anxieties, societal pressure, self-worth, many "What If's" and "What Could Have Been's", with timey wimey shenanigans serving as the backdrop for their reasonably scoped adventures. Their personal and interpersonal journeys keep the bizarre, somewhat nonsensical nature of the Universe grounded in a familiar space - in a manner not too dissimilar to that of a Douglas Adams' novel. In truth, the initial run of the comic mostly focuses on comedic high jinks, which tend to be hit or miss, but the writing improves dramatically when it starts exploring the characters' psychology and emotional hang ups. For me, personally, the turning point was the (inevitable) Time Loop arc, which I enjoyed for reasons that will become obvious if you know about my feelings for In Stars and Time. In short: this comic has a high-stakes Absurdist/Existential Sci-Fi premise that belies a refreshingly "Down-to-Europa" story about a bunch of 20-something cartoon slugs. It's relatable!

Dolmistaska by AngusBurgers

In many ways, this one defies description. You should just go read it. Seriously, go read it! It's great! Exceptionally well-drawn too! It looks like an underground Punk comic from thirty years ago. It lures you in with the understated intrigue of its unclear premise, its oppressing atmosphere, environmental storytelling, savvy use of lighting and shading, before dropping everything on you all at once. The protagonist is a cat person with gremlin energy and a knack for vehicle-related heists. Read it. You'll thank me later.

That would be all for now. There might be more webcomic recommendations in the future, whenever inspiration shall strike - or I get in a writing mood. Thanks for reading... and happy further reading!

Hi, I'm Peyton (Partyhorn as well). I love to animate and make comics, and I'm a huge fan of sea slugs. This blog is mostly just things I like and my current art and projects. Here's the two main ones I'm focusing on:

MOLLY'S FUTURE MISHAPS - A webcomic about time traveling sea slugs.

In the year 2000, Earth was destroyed in a sudden unpredictable disaster. The only way of preserving any kind of Earth life was, of all things, to send sea slugs into distant space… to Jupiter’s moon, Europa. The slugs had then evolved to survive in their environment, and after many years, advancements in their technology has led to the creation of time travel!

Molly: a lazy soda-loving chromodoris quadricolor, meets Jo: a work-obsessed sea bunny with a complicated past, as well as Leaf: a leaf sheep slug with a fascination for the Earth. The three end up working jobs as museum employees at the end of time itself which leads to many shenanigans and many, many consequences…

You can read the comic here on it's website, or here on comicfury (Note, the comicfury site posts 1 page a day and is WAY behind). There is also a tumblr account that posts each chapter, @mollysfuturemishaps

Also, you can read pages early (or buy a sticker) through my Ko-Fi page!

PARVEY: THE INTERDIMENSIONAL SINGER! - A sea bunny who speaks only out of speech bubbles dreams to become a singer.

Parvey is a sea bunny who is an aspiring musician. However, one day she finds herself warped from her own dimension and into one that works in somewhat of a different way... and so, Parvey finds herself only able to speak out of comic-style speech bubbles, completely inaudible to the ears!

Along with her talent agent Macadamia, Parvey strives to become a big famous singer nonetheless... but is "becoming big" really all there is to do?

Parvey: The Interdimensional Singer is an indie cartoon currently in production. You can see sneak peeks of the pilot and other goodies on the account @parveycartoon (as well as the twitter account under the same handle.)

I have some other projects as well, but they're either on hiatus or not my priority (I will put them all in the tags for easy access). I use the tags #my art, #my animation, #my music, for the things I create if you'd like to check those out. Thanks for coming!

An idea for a crossover tamagotchi comic featuring my OC

So I commissioned a couple of tamagotchi stories to a friend of mine featuring my OC to where he was transported onto tamagotchi planet and befriended the characters from the anime series after the incident and I had discussed with @partyhorn to maybe turning at least one of them into a comic as a commission project and we were pretty excited about the idea too. : D We had hoped to start on it a few weeks ago, but unfortunately peyton himself has been dealing with some issues regarding his mental health and all, while also wanting to take the time to work on his own projects, which is understandable. :( So I’m not sure when we’ll be able to get started on it. It be best for him to take it easy with his mental issue before discussing anything about the comic since it’s the main reason why he’s been unsure about it atm. (Hope you’re doing better btw. ;w;) But I totally can’t wait to see it come to fruition whenever we can get it going!
