I've run into a slight problem...

I'm running out of online comics to read. So far, I read the following:

Elflife
Evercrest (if it ever updats again... *nudges Drysart*)
/Gu..
Acid Reflux

What I'm REALLY looking for is a comic similar to Elflife... I mean, a continuous storyline with drama, romance, and humor, along with adventure.

Personally, I have tried a few times to start up a strip... but while I have an abundance of drawing inspiration and I may go as far as to say talent, I dont have the mind of a comic. (In other words, I suck at narrating a storyline like that...)

Sigh... I'm in a mood to complain tonight.

Azakias wanders off to draw some more...

I advise, perhaps, Polymer City Chronicles. That may not have much of what you're looking for, though. It's the closest one I can see to your dilemma.

If you have trouble with storylines and so forth, there's no better place to find a writer than right here! Solstyce, Leopold, Marapork, and many others are all excellent writers with most dandy imaginations!

Hope this helps ya, Small One

Read MegaTokyo, it's l33t.
I don't know how to be sexy. If I catch a girl looking at me and our eyes lock, I panic and open mine wider. Then I lick my lips and rub my genitals. And mouth the words "You're dead."

Azakias punts Parcelan!

I aint small!

Oh yeah, LINKS! I'm too lazy to find them on my own...

And anyhow, I may be willing to illustate a comic if others are willing to provide a continuous and involved storyline... *hint hint*

And I'm making a comic of my own. Actually, three at once, though one's in the "developping and bouncing around some really frikkin' odd ideas" stage, and one's near death

Do you also like gag-a-day strips, or do you just want the good storylines to read?
I dream of becoming the 'main bad guy' of the world, that bad guy who has the power to rule the world and destroy everyone in it.

Then after gaining control of the world, I'll reveal my plans to a young man with spiked hair who forms a party and eventually destroys me.

Remember the most important part of being an evil villain, is revealing your plans to somebody who can stop you with a mysterious past that you happen to be involved in.

Sounds a lot like me, Sol...

I have toyed with over 4 different ideas...

Bleh. Mostly its for my own satisfaction, but it isnt turning out to be too satisfying.

The single best internet comic I have ever laid eyes upon. Sometimes it has long, in depth storylines, sometimes it has gag-a-day jokes and whatnot. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's not so funny, but on the whole, it's better than anything I've read.

You came to the right place. I'd recommend Megatokyo right off the bat, a good continuous storyline comic with romance humor and some drama, no real adventure though. My personal favorite

Schlock Mercenary wasn't that impressive to me at first glance, but it's grown on me over time, and is now one of my favorites. It has good continous plot, adventure, and humor, though nothing in the romance department. It's set in the future, though, which is different from most online comics.

College Roomies From Hell is a fun one; it starts out as a fairly ordinary college comic stip, but slowly becomes better and more unique, with each week improving until reaching the current amazing quality (it's now one of my top 3 comics, and considering I've read the full archives of over 110 online comics, that's saying alot) It's got drama, action, comedy, and continous plot, so it may be the closest to what you're asking for.

That's the peliminary list, each one of those is worth at least checking out. They are some of the best that are closest to what you asked for. If none of those interest you too much, just ask for some more recomendations, I've got enough of them.

I am trying to master anime art. It's not going well.

I have a cartoony idea in my head for a strip. Group of friends in High School decide they've had enough of life, commit mass suicide. However, Death dosen't like this, and death is not the end for them. They reincarnate, as cutesy forest animals.

Working on the characters right now. Got a few already down.

Flick: Gecko. Bastard. Carries a gun. Black trenchcoat and mirrored sunglasses. Likes to shoot things he dosen't understand. Naturally, people fear the gecko.

Dinah: Monstrous black widow. Dines almost exclusively on Pikachus, those Digimon that look like blobs, and everything else cute and fuzzy that she dosen't like. Eats male black widows. Extremely sexually repressed, and tries to mate with everything that's not a spider .

Trent: My favorite so far. Reincarnated as a tree. A tree who thinks God's out to get him, and who apparently hasn't learned from his previous experience and tries to kill himself. Eats all the nuts that any squirrel puts in him.

Tad: Even though he was 15 when he died, he's a tadpole. He gets mistaken for a green walking sperm all the time. He will never mature into a frog. Likes eating the organs of all who make sperm jokes.

Mallory: Bit of a ditz. Reincarnated into a bunny, who likes teasing Trent with matches and Tad with condoms. Is usually too cute to harm. Usually.

Sky: Hippie chick who got reincarnated as a sparrow. Is ecstatic about this, to be "one with nature". Has developped a sudden crush on Trent. Decorates him with strings of flowers when he sleeps. Trent, of course, does not like her.

S'all so far. I like this idea

Shhh. Everyone will hear us. Everyone will know.
