Awkward Zombie: A Gaming Comic that needs more Love

Hello, everyone. I've been posting around for a month or so, but this is my first topic, so I hope it turns out well.

While I'm aware that it's in GAF's nature to hate everything, and that hate is doubled for webcomics, I hope you'll bear with me nonetheless. I think I've seen a comic from here posted on GAF once out of the year or so I've been reading the boards.

Anyways, it's a fairly hilarious, mostly gaming-related comic that tends to be fairly hilarious, has a nice art style, and most surprisingly, is draw by a high school student. So, without further ado, here's a few of my favorites from her website. I hope you enjoy them.

And hey, if you hate them with the burning fiery passion of a thousand suns: at least she hits her scheduled updates more consistently than VGCats. =p
 
Alright, these aren't just not funny, they're fucking terrible.

I still want a pic of the author, though.
 
Aw man, rehost those pics. Leeching off her site isn't the best thing to do IMHO. It's also likely to cost her real money (bandwidth/server bills) without a way to compensate (ads).

Back on topic: Her site has been in my webcomic bookmarks for a while now. Some of her comics are a bit spotty, but there's plenty of good stuff in her archives to make up for it.

Any recommendations for rehosting locations that don't shrink the images down (aka not photobucket)?

I bet you like God Mode.

God Mode...ugh. They have maybe two decent comics in their entire archive, and that's being generous.

:lol What you posted is pretty much the same thing.. maybe even worse.
 
Try tinypic.com, their limit is somewhere around 1600x1200 IIRC.

I somehow have the sudden urge to cause you physical pain.

NO. Never have, never will. Although I admit the artist shuffle not too long ago had me hopeful for... 1 strip or something.

I'd beg to disagree. God Mode tends to focus on "hur hur sex, utterly random character plots, and occasional obvious points in games such as 'everyone hates DMC4's board game dice thing'". While some of AZ's comics are fairly straightforward as well (ie, Link breaking the key), she has some clever moments. I rather liked the most recent one with the three Zelda canes.

I'm pretty sure the only good webcomic on the internet is Cyanide and Happiness (they've had a few gaming related comics).. I mean.. how can you not laugh at this? COME ON!

What, no PBF/XKCD love? FAIL!

Since we're somehow listing other comics now:

He hasn't been up to snuff recently, but from time to time there's an interesting strip to be found in his archive.

PBF makes me laugh about 20% of the time.. not nearly enough to call it "good". But yeah, I have liked some of 'em.

XKCD is just plain not funny.

You have radically different tastes in humor than I, it seems.
 
Can we include Blastwave in the current topic?

Another "spotty" artist, but I just love some of his strips to bits.
 
We shouldn't forget about our resident comic artist, although I haven't seen much of him in recent times... sales threads were always just that bit more heated with his strips around.

Who remembers the PS3 vs GBA ghetto figh pics?
 
Basically, if it isn't Penny Arcade or C&H, it automatically sucks according to GAF.

I mean, hell, if people here can hate on XKCD...

My god -- the hate in this thread. Awkward Zombie is, dare I say it, funnier than most webcomics. Gaming or not.

And to answer a question: she looks exactly like she's drawn, if not more-so.
