Are sprite comics something we can talk about here? Lord knows /co/ chased me off when I've brought up the subject. They're almost retro themselves now, being at their peak in the early 2000s. Anyone read them back In the day, or do so currently? What were your favorites? Any recommendations that are still worth a read now?

Sprite comics are weird. You can't really explain them to future generations without feeling like a retard. It's something that in the past you would have never told anyone about, but now because of the internet it will always be known that there was an era where every 12 year old had their own stupid sprite comic.

I remember playing those Newgrounds Megaman games by some Maelstrom guy, and one of them featured some characters from two other sprite comics. One of them was a Maverick Hunter, I assume, who really liked beer. He came from a comic where X and Zero were portrayed as lovers. The other was a gray Megaman recolor where he came from a comic that featured other NES characters and settings. One of the comics had Elecman and some others apparently lost, and they stumbled upon Palutena and asked her for "head...err, directions". Another panel was calling Mighty Bomb Jack "Michael Bobo Jackson".

The first couple of years, yes. Then he developed his own style and that's when everyone went crazy trying to steal his stuff and the guy's temper went to hell.

The jokes could be plain weird (Felicia could turn human if you groped her tits using the Konami code) and the author had a raging boner against post Sega Genesis Sonic as well but it still was a decent read.

His jokes could catch you offguard most of times, mostly because Maneko was one of the very few authors who wasn't making a comic about fights, supwerpowers and overpowered self-inserts killing everyone.

His short temper and his love for horrible puns were an issue, but (Maneko was a really cool and helpful dude as long you don't step on his nerves. (According to a chat we had on IRC, he admited to "have more nerves than a cheap steak" which explained a lot and made me want to strangle him at the same time.)

AkumaTH and MGComics is still around. Power Rings is still up but the comic hasn't updated in three years now and the forums are rotting. The Mystical Forest Zone has apparently been dead since early 2013. That's about it for all of the Sonic sprite comics worth a shit that don't involve Psyguy outside of used to using his old website as a place to find sprites.

Out of all of that business, I recommend you read AkumaTH's comic. It's old as all balls, having started in late 2001. And it's still going; last update was the Friday on the 5th. It's pretty much Dragonball Z but with Sonic characters since the creator is a huge fighting fan. Expect professional wrestling, Dragonball, Street Fighter, and shonen anime in general to be referenced or joked about.

In case you think I'm joking about this, Sonic is a side character (in a Sonic-centered webcomic), and he has around five different forms he can power up to. Also the Undertaker (you know, of WWF/WWE fame) is the son of a creature that eats realities.

Also obligatory claim that you need to read Kid Radd. It's old, it's good, and you WILL end up reading it from beginning to end. It's /vr/: the webcomic. Doesn't help that it's also completely finished.

Him (and a few other, uh, "celebrities" to use the term losely) were worshipped in a creepy cult-vibe kind of way.

From what I heard, the reason she suddenly killed all of her comic support characters (Especially Gothic) and turned herself into a super powerful feminist anti-heroine was because her boyfriend dumped her and then she got banned from IRC for overspamming a dumb whaleface emoticon (<-__________________->)
I also know she was fat, unnatractive, old (over 30 at the moment I joined the board) and was poor as a rat (she was a fucking cashier but wanted to be treated like royality)

What I don't know is what happened after her expulsion, because fuckedup attention whores don't just dissapear like that.

Maneko was funny and constantly tried to help out (I still remember his amazing sprite and BG rips thread) but his short temper always made him easy prey to trolls.

Disgruntled Ferret was also funny and clever but the guy vanished for fucking months without any explanation.

From our IRC conversations I discovered that Maneko had been working together with DF on MSPMP for years, but wanted to keep it as a secret to avoid trolls crapping on DF's comic thread.

Remember all of those unusual rips and sprites suddenly popping on DF's comic? It was Maneko all along.

I think it was popular because, in a way, it had charm. I found it as a kid and kept up with it all the way until it ended, because it wasn't trying too hard (like many BnG clones were) and it didn't try to be super-serious all the time. That ridiculously dumb made-on-the-run story was genuine, man.

A lot of the other comics were either too serious, or trying way too hard to be funny. Back then the only comics I checked regularly were Bob and George and Dragon Tails.

I also kept up with Sonic and Pals for a while, but dropped it because it kept repeating the same joke over and over...

I liked this funny little comic spoofing Harvest Moon called Farmboy. its archives are on comicgenesis.

My favorite.
The dude went on to become a writer. You should check out The Zeroes. It's pretty much about the life of the average /v/irgin.

It's like the author literally doesn't even understand what they do at barber shops

And what they do at barber shops?

The strip just pokes fun at the canon discrimination against Darkstalkers.

I kinda liked this one called Reuben Dante: Time Vagrant. What's interesting about it was even though it used sprites and backgrounds from dozens of games, it took place in the real world and featured multiple points throughout history.

I don't think it was ever confirmed if it was done by a troll or some genuine shit.

All sprite comics are complete fucking garbage except 8-bit Theater and maybe that one Zelda II one where they talk about breadboxes
