    Horrible Gamer Comics

    posted by Chris on October 25, 2007 10:09 AM in Comics, Games, Geek Culture

    gamercomiccrop.jpgThose crazy forum communities! Over at Truth and Beauty Bombs, there is an epic thread in the making where forum members are creating horrible gamer comics from a basic template. Most of these are really bitingly funny and sarcastic, poking fun at Penny Arcade, Ctrl Alt Del, PvP and others. I think this one is my favorite.

    I like to think that the gaming community can laugh at themselves, but from what I know of the web comic community, they are going to be pissed. Only goths take themselves more seriously than web comic artists.

    I once thought about making a purposely horrible webcomic. Just really poor drawings with no attempt at actual humor. And it would have used different mediums each time. Like MSpaint, and then scanned in drawings on lined notebook paper, a photo of three sticky notes next to each other, etc.
