yes, Yes, YES! The 2000s-2010s webcomic world was dynamic and weird and I could tell what was inspired by Homestuck or Homestuck-like comics because they employed music, video, GIFs, game-like Flash elements, and more. To be honest, I think the death of flash killed the interactive webcomic, too. Comics like Black Brick Road and Olympus Overdrive had flash elements readers could play around with, and it’s sad these games’ interactive levels weren’t archived when they could have been.
There was also the punky and meta aspect of having your own domain reflect your comic that you can’t have with something as corporate as webtoonz—like The Property of Hate or any Hiveworks-network webcomic where every aspect of the website was created and cultivated for and by the artist. Emily Carroll once used her website as an extension of storytelling in When the Darkness Presses and that blew my mind.
Capitalism can’t afford personality and art can’t pay the bills. When the internet was still the wild west, the new frontier of storytelling, people threw themselves into art and storytelling. Artists can’t just make multimedia work without recognizing the financial and emotional strain of making a minigame within their comic or a musical episode in their podcast and that sucks. I want to see weird stories. I want to see something transgressive and strange and weird. I want to see webcomics be allowed to be weird again!!
People don't like to admit it bcs cringe or w/e but Homestuck really did revolutionize the webcomic as a storytelling medium and I am endlessly frustrated that before webcomic artists could really stretch our legs fucking webtoonz swooped in, set a new, more restrictive standard, and then monetized and monopolized the ever living fuck out of the concept of The Webcomic until it drove away anyone who couldn't be a professional quality manga artist for free, and now the only webcomics that actually feel like spiritual successors to Homestuck are so obscure they're basically cult classics that you have to beg people to read.
Like it's just so wild to be in high school and see Homestuck be like "we're using like fifteen different artistic mediums to tell this story bcs we can" and be really fucking inspired by that, only to grow up and see basically every webcomic ever have to conform to One Single Standard or fucking perish.

"It's-For-You!" Talking Telephone Toy
Ring... ring... ring... it's for you!
Transcripts below!
Eddie
[The phone rings once before it is picked up.]
Whether letter or parcel, whether rain, snow, or shine, we weather the weather and never decline! This is Eddie Dear of Eddie’s Post office speaking! How can I help you today?
[Silence.]
...Hello? Is anybody there? ...Should I say the jingle again? Okay-
[Eddie clears his throat.]
Whether letter or parcel, whether rain, snow, or shine, we weather the weather and never decline! This is Eddie Dear of Eddie’s Post office speaking! Do you need stamps? I got ‘em! Envelopes and paper? You bet! Markers, crayons, glue, glitter, tape, staples- [Takes a deep inhale to catch his breath.] I got that too!
[Silence.]
[Mumbling] ...I’m starting to think nobody’s there… Wait… I can’t remember if the phone was ringing… Maybe I was going to make a phone call... But who would I call? Well, if you’re there… Uh… Have a good day!
Barnaby
[The phone rings three times. Then it picks up.]
Hello? Hellooo?
[Silence.]
Is this a prank call, kid? Listen, I got a better joke for you- What did the bee say to the flower? I wouldn’t know, I wasn’t there! What do I look like, a BEE’s-dropper?
[Rimshot and horn honk. Barnaby laughs. Silence follows.]
….Not even a chuckle? Boy, tough crowd! Hey, you can’t blame a guy for phoning it in! How about you call me back when you got something funny to say too, little buddy! Buh bye!
Howdy
[The phone is answered in the middle of the first ring.]
You’re calling Howdy’s Place! The home of everything you need and everything you don't! Howdy Pillar at your service!
[Silence.]
...Hello? Hello! Listen, pal, time is jokes and if I’m not laughing then I don’t have time! ...Actually, I do have plenty of time in stock, it’s in aisle two next to the bananas. But …I call ‘em cuckoo clocks!
[Howdy laughs at his own joke, but it becomes softer and more embarrassed as the silence follows.]
...Alright, alright! You’re giving me nothing to work with, buddy! I only deal in funny business and it looks like you’re runnin’ low, pal! So long! You get it? Like a caterpillar! Haha!
Poppy
[The phone rings twice before it is abruptly picked up.]
Hello, this is the Partridge nest- Or I mean, this is Poppy!
[Silence.]
…Hello? Dear? Are you there? I can’t hear you if you’re speaking! Maybe it is my connection- Oh my feathers, a telephone is so difficult to work with- So many buttons!
[The sounds of shuffling, squawks and noises of tutting can be heard.]
Oh my goodness! I- Oh no, I’ve dropped the telephone on the ground I- Gracious me, there’s birdseed everywhere! I- I will call you back, whoever this is! Oh- My feathers are full at the moment! Don’t worry about me! Have a pleasant day deary-
[A panicked squawk is heard followed by a loud thud. The phone call abruptly ends.]
Frank
[The phone rings once before it’s answered.]
Hello, this is Frank Frankly speaking.
[Silence.]
...Hello? … Are you there?
[Silence.]
...Is this Julie? This had better not be another game you’re playing! …Oh no, is this a prank call? Is this Barnaby!? Well, I have a prank for you too, you jokester! A lesson!
[Frank clears his throat.]
Did you know butterflies have their own way of sleeping? It’s not so much sleeping as it is having a rest ! It is always done with their eyes open, too! They also like to rest under leaves as a means of protection from dew or rain drops! Better yet, to hide from larger creatures with an appetite! A bit like you and those horrible hot dogs you love so much.
[Silence. Frank huffs loudly in annoyance.]
Well, whoever this is, I’ll have you know I have better things to do than wait for you to respond! Good bye!
Sally
[The phone barely has a chance to ring once before it is picked up.]
Hellooo! You’re talking to the brightest and most stupendous superstar this side of the neighborhood! Sally Starlet!
[A triumphant 'ta-da!' jingle, followed by silence. Sally whispers her next sentence.]
…I said ‘Hellooo!’ That’s your cue!
[Silence.]
…What’s wrong, do you have stage fright? I know, I know, having a star for a neighbor can be so intimidating! She’s so terrific, you’re probably thinking! Phenomenal, staggering, breathtaking- I’m taking the words right out of your mouth, I bet!
[Silence. Sally sighs softly.]
Well, parting is such sweet sorrows, but I must shine my brilliance elsewhere! Why don’t you call me back when you don’t have such cold feet, hm? Farewell!
Julie
[The phone rings once, but in the middle of its second ring the phone is answered.]
Hello? [LOUDER] Hello!!
[Silence.]
...Hey, are you playing some kind of game? Well- I want to play too! Okay, let’s go on the count of three! One… Two… Three!
[Silence.]
…I don’t know how to play this game. ...Oh, I know what to do! We’ll make a new game! [Frantically spoken] We’ll need a jump rope, some chalk, a dice, a sandwich- I’ll call it… quiet sandwich jump rope! I better get everything ready, Frank’s going to love this game! Okay, bye bye!
Wally
[A long period of silence follows before three rings are heard. A pause follows even as the phone is answered before the sound of a heart beat can be heard below the ambient noise. This audio track constantly raises and lowers as it proceeds.]
Hello? Hello? Helloooo? … Ha Ha Ha...I’m only kidding. I know you’re there.
Did you like my joke? ...I think you were going to say... Yes! …Ha Ha Ha… You know… It is hard to hear you think through this funny phone of mine. It is as though you aren’t speaking at all. Maybe it is just a little fuzzy… Like me. Speaking of…
[The heart beat and ambience stop abruptly.]
...Do you know who I am?
[The heart beat and ambience resume.]
[Gasp.] Oh no. Well that’s not neighborly at all. We’ve never met before. But don’t worry. Even though you and I haven’t spoken before, I’ve seen you... Every time you have looked into my eyes. I want to know… What did you see?
[Silence.]
I hope you saw a friend, but I’m not sure you saw a name... Stand still. Let’s start over. Ring ring ring. Click. Hi, I’m Wally. I’m so happy to finally meet you, I think you’re the absolute most.
[Silence.]
Uh oh, I have to go now. Everyone is probably thinking about that strange phone call. It is funny to think about. …Ha ha ha… Don’t worry though, neighbor, it will be a little joke between you and me. You have to go too. You have work to do. Remember, until you hear me again, keep your smile merry and always know that I love you very much.
Good bye.

Ooooh this is from a while back in summer. Was participating in an author/illustrator event for fun by a comics association, and one of the prompts was "Robot + Cactus".
Needless to say I knew the exact people for the job.

Hello hello! I come to introduce you to my oc, his name is Greg, he has certainly been created for years (approximately 9 years old, he is already turning 10-)
I won't tell much about his story, that will be with time, but I will tell you that it is based on his appearance and because some aspects are similar in Greg and RGB 🫂
and if you ask...yes, it is based on RGB from The property of hate, let me tell you a brief summary HAHAHAHA-
well basically I was browsing Tumblr looking for ideas to redesign Greg and I came across a fanart of this same character, RGB, I honestly liked the character design at first glance, so I used it without knowing at first where it came from... .well I ended up finding out a few months later that that same character was coming out of a webcomic, I wanted to give him a chance...now here they see me as a big fan HAHAHAHA
There are certainly several things that I liked about this same character, at first I wanted to copy the character as he is, but obviously over time I gave him his own things, his own personality, history, etc.
Of course some aspects of this character are similar to RGB, I don't deny that, there are things about this character that I loved and wanted to add, but he has his own things too!
(but as I said, it will be seen over time that drawings of this same one will be published along with its history, etc.)
Also, thanks for taking the time to read this far, I really appreciate it! 👤💐
AAAA SARAH JOLLEY I LOVE YOU 🫂💐🌟✨🌟😭
RGB character belongs to @modmad !
//Spanish ver.//
Hola hola! Vengo a presentarles a mi oc, su nombre es Greg, ciertamente tiene años de creado (aproximadamente 9 años, ya está cumpliendo 10-)
No contaré mucho sobre su historia, eso será con el tiempo, pero les diré que se basa en su apariencia y porque algunos aspectos son similares en Greg y RGB 🫂
y si preguntas…si, está basado en RGB de The property of hate, déjame decirte un breve resumen JAJAJAJA-
bueno básicamente estaba navegando por Tumblr buscando ideas para rediseñar a Greg y me encontré con un fanart de este mismo personaje, RGB, sinceramente me gustó el diseño del personaje a primera vista, así que lo usé sin saber al principio de dónde venía... .bueno me terminé enterando a los pocos meses que ese mismo personaje salía de un webcomic, quería darle una oportunidad...ahora aquí me ven como un gran fan JAJAJAJA
Ciertamente hay varias cosas que me gustaron de este mismo personaje, al principio quise copiar al personaje tal cual es, pero obviamente con el tiempo le fui dando cosas propias, su propia personalidad, historia, etc.
Por supuesto que algunos aspectos de este personaje son similares al RGB, no lo niego, hay cosas de este personaje que me encantaron y quería agregar, ¡pero él también tiene sus propias cosas!
(pero como dije, se verá con el tiempo que se publicarán dibujos de este mismo junto con su historia, etc.)
Además, gracias por tomarse el tiempo de leer hasta aquí, ¡realmente lo aprecio! 👤💐
AAAA SARAH JOLLEY TE AMO 🫂💐🌟✨🌟😭
El personaje de RGB pertenece a @modmad !
(ILOVEUARTT!!)

(If it's not clear, the blue sketches are meant to be memories that Hero is picturing as she talks. The final shot is more... symbolic, because I didn't picture this conversation in the dark, but they've bonded so deeply in the dark that I felt it a good way to shift from "I hate you" to "You're my best friend.")
Listen okay, listen, okay, Target Audience absolutely gutted me and I'm overflowing with sadness for these two. If I tried to write every intense feeling I have about this comic, I'd never get this posted, but I cannot overstate how much I love it and how severe of a reaction it got from me.
If you dunno who these characters are, I BEG invite you to go read The Property of Hate! It's a webcomic by Sarah Jolley and it's full of so much charm and whimsy and excitement, I just, aaaagh! Start here! -> Chapter 1: The Hook
The dialogue in this fanart is paraphrased from a beautiful scene from Bojack Horseman, which you should also watch if you haven't. I tried making the details fit Hero more, or I blurred them out because I felt like she might not really say all that to begin with. RGB is the one who uses big words like "vulnerability", after all. Though this whole monologue might still be out of character for her, but you know what, when I read this chapter, I almost immediately thought of that Bojack scene and how fitting the final lines are, and that's why I drew any of it.
It was all for the sake of, "And now... you're here, and I hate you. But you're my best friend, and you need me."
I am going to force myself to stop typing and just hit post now.
And then go draw more fanart of TPoH.

Duck Musings: The Tragedy of Magica De Spell
Tragedy and the Disney Ducks go oddly hand in hand, and we have examined this in several characters, Gladstone Gander and Donald Duck specifically. When it comes to the most tragic character though, I may have to put my money on Magica De Spell, and this isn’t just me being a simp, though I’ll admit that is part of it.
The comic that sparked this Duck Musing was this scanlation by lettheladylead of a 2021 comic by Giorgio Cavazzano titled “Magica De Spell: Origins of a Witch”, which is... pretty much what it says on the tin, the origin story of Magica De Spell. In it, we learn about what happened to her parents, why she is interested in the Midas Touch, and even where Ratface came from. It’s... kind of a sad comic.
Magica’s parents were killed in a spell gone wrong when she was just a baby, probably barley hatched, and from some of the artwork, it appears that they were more focused on the spell than on Magica. After, her Aunt and Uncle took her in, but tried to repress her magic, since this is the same magic that took their loved ones from them. Magica left after learning the truth and deciding to finish what her parents began, and never did seem to return to her Aunt and Uncle.
It is worth noting that there is an alternate backstory as to why Magica wants the Midas Touch, in the comic “The Pact of the Moon”, it is revealed that Magica was not originally evil, but she forced to make the Midas Touch spell by, what I’m assuming is the Witch Council. This lead her to becoming greedy and unscrupulous, again, not a very happy backstory. She also laments about her niece Minima, and how she hopes her niece doesn’t follow the path she herself has went down.
All of this ties into the tragic situation of her current life, always after Scrooge’s dime, always outwitted by the old man, always one step closer but two steps behind her ultimate goal. One of my favourite comics is “The Journey is the Reward”, where Magica does steal the dime, but ends up returning it because, she literally does not know what to do when she’s done. It kinda reminds of that scene in Fight Club where Tyler Durden was talking about always calling his Dad and asking him on what he should do next. It adds a lot to the tragedy of having an ultimate goal, when you don’t really know what you’re gonna do once you have completed it.
I’d also be remiss if I didn’t mention Magicstone, the strange pairing of Magica De Spell and Gladstone Gander. I’ve mentioned “A Gal For Gladstone” prior, but the big tragedy of the pairing, I think was best explored by, once again, Sarah Jolley, otherwise known as ModMad, specifically in their comic “Enough Time to Fall”, because they’re right, it never would work. Even if Magica stayed in her disguise, it would have to disappear eventually, and what then? It hurts because, in A Gal for Gladstone, they were both genuinely happy, and her plan failed because she was genuinely concerned about Gladstone’s safety. One true moment of joy, and it had to be snatched from her.
I wrote a piece of fanfiction titled “Stuck Together Duck” in which, Magica De Spell and Donald Duck get stuck together, and bond a little, because when you look at the two of them, they are quite similar. Lost their parents at a presumably young age, raised by extended family (Donald in part by his Uncle, but mostly by his Grandma, and Magica entirely by her aunt and Uncle), niblings they look after (Yes that is the neutral term for niece and nephew), honestly, it feels weird that this pairing isn’t more popular, but I digress. It goes to show that, at the core of the evil sorceress, is something a lot more tragic than one might initially think.
It’s also worth noting that Scrooge, doesn’t seem to hate her. In several comics, they work together to stop a bigger problem, like a comet hurdling towards earth, or another magic user stealing Scrooge’s dime. Scrooge has also helped Magica in situations where she would, or has, lost her magic abilities, and in one comic, it’s shown that the two of them send birthday cars to each other. So maybe Scrooge sees something in Magica, and I don’t mean that in a shipping way, though feel free to take it like that.
Well, I made a Magica post that referenced three of Magica’s ships. I think I’m done for now.
To wrap up, Magica De Spell is easily one of my favourite characters, and really getting a chance to explore this aspect of her character was fun, and also a little heartbreaking. Maybe someday, Magica will get a happy ending to her story, maybe her nieces will find a path to follow that she can be happy for, maybe she and Scrooge will become genuine friends, we can always hope... and write fanfiction. Lots and lots of fanfiction.

So this morning, cs my brain is fried in many ways,
As a companion to the Draculas of New Jersey, have all the Frankensteins of England -
First, on the very first census, of 1841, we have Jacob Frankenstein and his family, living in Liverpool -
There really wasn't much detail on early census records, and whoever's filled this in has done it a slightly odd order (dad, youngest son, mum, oldest daughter, middle son), but we see we have Jacob Frankenstein, who is a merchant, his wife Sarah, and their children Henrietty (age 5), Samuel (age 3) and Nathan (age 1 or possibly 7), and that F in the last column marks them as "born in Foreign Parts".
The house they live in, they seem to share with two other families - an English roper, his wife and four children, and an Irish tailor his wife and their servant. I imagine, if I might, that it may have been one of those tall buildings you get in the town centre occasionally, with a shop below and two or three storeys above - the tailor would have the shop and the floor above, and the one/s above that would be split between Frankenstein and Choppers (the roper)
I'm not certain, cs nothing much is certain on the 1841 census, but I think that must be the case, because there's a 1 for 1 dwelling/building, and then the families have little notch marks separating them (you can just see one above the J in Jacob there).
If we skip forward 20 years, we find them not in Liverpool, but having moved to Islington, London
A little more detail on this record - we find out that Jacob and Sarah are from Hanover, which I gather is now a part of Germany. Henrietty has anglicised her name to Harriet, and that N must be Nathan, which means he was 1 on the 1841 record. We also see Harriet was born in Yorkshire, and Nathan in Liverpool, tho I can find neither record. And that Jacob's merchant-ing is going well enough that they needn't share housing and they actually have a live-in maid!
And, there's another record to show he joined the Freemasons in about 1850, so I imagine he was doing fairly well for himself.
-
There is, at the same time as our Jacob in 1841, another J Frankenstein, but this one is an "agent" - whatever that means 180 years ago - and he lives in Stepney!
He is also "of Foreign Parts" and also in his 30s, but he is instead a lodger, with several other single German-sounding men (you can see Doctor Gotentag above him there), in the house of some laundresses (Sarah Kelly, Elizabeth Pryor, and her daughter Sarah)
I jumped forward 10 years to 1851, and couldn't confirm finding this same Frankenstein, but there are a couple of new ones -
We have Adolphus, a tailor from Breslau who is lodging in Manchester with a Polish hawker and his family
And we have Isaac, a licensed hawker - a seller of things, the type that shout you over, like a marketstall man, tho maybe without a stall - in this case, jewellery - and he lodges in Portsea/Portsmouth, with Kitty Barnard and her daughters.
-
Then, if we jump again to the 1870s, there are a great many more Frankensteins -
We have Jacob, Israel, Simon and Harris Frankenstein, who are all Polish tailors (tho sometimes the record says "Russia Poland"). Israel and Simon live in London, Whitechapel and Spitalfields respectively. Jacob is in Cheetham and Harris is in Manchester. And all their families, too.
Also in Cheetham, we find Reub and his family - I imagine he is Jacob's brother or cousin (he is also listed "Russia Poland") - he is a glazier, and his teenage sons are tailors.
Philip Frankenstein, also in Cheetham and from Poland and so likely another brother or cousin, is a waterproof manufacturer (did macks exist then?).
And Leon, who lives in Rochester, married a Kentish woman called Lydia Jolley (nee Gladdish), and he is a picture frame maker, also Polish - tho he, unlike the rest, is listed under "Poland, British Subject" - either, he lived in England most of his life and was just born in Poland (see, my John Scarth, who always listed himself as "Portugal, British Subject", and was from Orkney), or because he married an Englishwoman, I'm not sure, and he, nor the census man, are not here to quiz.
If I go any later, I imagine there'll be a great deal many more records to trawl through and I don't really want to, so I shan't.
I am mildly disappointed there are no Adam Frankensteins, tho, I did check
#research#genealogy#i should say - tho i don't know much jewish history beyond the last century - that these are most if not all polish jews#(who knows about leon and his wife#if either converted or if she was jewish to start with)#i would say they were fleeing a polish/russian pogrom but i don't know their reasons for moving#i do know that henrietty/harriet is buried in willesden united synagogue cemetery
