SongDog’s Work: “The Best of Bad Decisions” was good. Really good. So good, it fundamentally changed the way I read and interpret comics. SD’s art is crude and remains low to no effort, and that was initially a turn off for me. But the writing? The dialogue, the characters, the story? Forced me to contend with the fact that it doesn’t matter if you can draw, so long as you can write; you can make a comic. I now heavily encourage people who don’t think their art is very good to try anyway. It opened the door to me accepting a greater range of art and skill level, like when you find a new food you never thought would expand your palette. This is one of those comics I’m just going to remember for a very long time. SD’s subsequent work? Well, they vary from forgettable to totally disappointing. I don’t know if BoBD was a fluke rather than a promise for what’s to come, or SD just doesn’t care to put in the thoughtfulness of character interactions and story progression they did with earlier work, but I do not like any comic after BoBD.

“City of Trees” by SanjanaIndica: I have not read this comic yet but will add it to the list.

“Komorembi” by SpaceDoe: Oh my god I totally forgot about this comic! But I don’t actually remember much of it beyond finding it charming? I’ll have to reread it.

“What’s Your Damage” by FrostedCanid: I’m gonna have to go back and read thru this comic again since it’s so slow to update I literally can’t remember anything beyond the most recent pages. I like the art, and I kinda like the slice of life, slow flow of the story, but I don’t think I can judge much more due to... not too much having happened yet.

“The Golden Rule” by Iparamanos: This is certainly....

Not a style I’ve ever seen used for a TLK fan comic. I have not read it yet. Added to list. “Inverted Fangs” by jadecomic: Holy shit I thought that title sounded familiar. This comic was originally a youtube animated series called “Wolves of the Mist” until the creators I guess realized animation is a lot of work, and people won’t dedicate themselves to that shit for free. I remember they briefly tried to make a comic using frames/stills from the animation to keep the project alive, and it looked bad.

So I’m glad to see they’ve wildly improved
