Webcomics to read...

So what does BISM (bored in san marcos, i'm totally going to use this as my blog moniker) do with his free time while he is, in fact, bored in san marcos? Well, BISM reads webcomics. He's always looking for new ones, but he's loyal to a handful. Also, he enjoys spontaneously switching from third person to first person...

These are the webcomics I adore:

Order of the Stick (OoTS) is based on a D&D (dungeons and dragons) world complete with the battle systems and everything. Specifically, it's the on going quest of a set of PCs (player characters) to defeat the ever evil, yet ever hysterical Lich, Xykon. It's quite the laugh, but presents a good deal of drama.

Questionable Content (QC) is about a group of friends in Massachusetts. The ongoing story arc has been about Marten and his roommate Faye (with whom he had been infatuated with, without her reciprocating) and their ragtag group of friends who include eccentric baristas, a girl with OCD and metalheads. It's laced with dry witty humor and is chock full of indie music references. Art in the beginning is crap compared to what the new ones look like.

Erfworld is the story of Parson Gotti, a tabletop gamer (warhammer and other turnbased strategy games) who is sucked into an alternate reality in which he must lead troops to hold back an invading army. In this alternate reality, wars are not realtime, but turn based, like his games he played.

Misfile is a totally fucked story. The premise is that our existence as human beings lies in a manila folder within celestial filing cabinets. to alter the contents of a folder would change the person that folder represents. For Ash, he wakes up one day to find out he is and has been a woman all his life. For Emily, she wakes up to find out that the past two years of her life had disappeared and that she was back in her sophomore year of highschool. The only way to get it fixed is to help a pot smoking angel get back into heaven. Sounds contrived? I know, but it's actually really not once you start reading.

Abstract Gender is the story of two friends who are abducted and on whom experiments were performed. Ryan Hawke wakes up and is a girl. Brian wakes up and finds out the same, except he switch back and forth on command. The story revolves on Ryan's adjusting to his situation in the high school setting.


The Noob is based within an MMORPG called Clichequest. It follows Oforf'ssake throughout the world leveling up and meeting all other PCs in Clichequest.

Fuzzy and OJ is a tale of two endearing misogynists. Enough said.

Sexy Losers is a creepy and odd set of comics that revolves around the topic of sex. Unfortunately, they stopped updating two years ago, but it's worth a read through if you've ever been disturbed by the Japanese sense of sexuality.
