Just want to inform you all of a new Webcomic to hit the interweb




Rubbing the Euphemism is a new web comic spawned by two members of a WoW community forum, Ziggy and Winstons.

The first strip and intro from the Authors:

Survivalismist

And so it begins!

First posted upon wow community forum Arathor.net this hastily composed comic
was concieved firstly as a strange conversation I once had with my brother (he really
did go to see Mears give a talk) and secondly as a potential “draw my comic”
competition. A competition I won, I might add. Without drawing too. Go me.

Hi, I’m Winstons. I met Ziggy while playing Warcraft - I don’t play anymore
(and haven’t done since 6 months after TBC came out) but our server has a
pretty awesome private forum which has kept running even though a great
deal of its users have now quit the game itself. A lot of us still hang around
and throw ideas (and insults) at each other over there.

Ziggy recruited me as extra muscle for his webcomic. Ziggy does all the hard
work on it. My primary function is to look at what intellectually stimulating text
Ziggy has written for a particular strip, and then say something along the
lines of “Hey, let’s add the word “boobs” to it!”.
I’m a minor ideas monkey. Perhaps more of an ideas gibbon. The modern day
equivalent of a small victorian boy being forced up a chimney by his cruel master.
Except neither of us gets paid.


There are currently 19 strips up for your general amusement dealing with such important subjects as "Should a Zombie be Prime Minister?" and how many food groups does bacon "really" count as?

Head over to the site, read, comment and enjoy.

Thanks for any responses, won't argue with anyone who deoesn't find it funny, it's a love/hate thing it seems and tbh is aimed a lot at the people from the original forum it was created on.

Just wanted to help them out and get people to have a look.
 
looks less like a comic more like a comic filter in photoshop from a photo...

:D

It's too hard to read, not a great fan

I enjoyed them, though bigger font pls!

Sums up my thoughts really. All the we comics I subscribe to are easy to read which this one isn't particularly. Also I don't think the posterised images work either. Hand drawn images might take more time but would probabaly be better, the images don't have to be the most detailed in the world to be good, xkcd, c+h, the pbf and others are examples of this.

Not the funniest thing I've read but I think it's got potential.
