Favorite Web Comic Series

[Hexadecimal*]

Well, when people read the word "comic", they expect comedic value throughout it and when they see a "comic" that isn't comedic, but dramatic or not comedic, people tend to turn away from it.

I have to disagree here as there's all sorts of different ways to make a webcomic. Some are in the newspaper "funnies" format where it's main theme is jokes, but the ones I listed are more focused on telling a story with images rather than just on punchlines.

It's fine sometimes when comics change pace and have a more serious theme. There was a very touching story told through some of the Calvin and Hobbes strips where Calvin finds a baby raccoon that ends up dying.

The whole miscarriage thing, however... It was just so badly done and really out there when your main focus is supposed to be video games (I haven't read the strip in awhile, nor did I read all of it, but that was my impression).
