Well, I think we're a little under-staffed today, so while time is moving faster right now I'm figuring I'll stay today, unless I pass out or something more appropriately hideous. I've been considering listing the webcomics I read, just to compare and contrast with who reads what. And for the fact that I need some new stuff to read. A lot of the comics I read tend to suffer from what I call 'Sluggy Syndrome.'*
* 'Sluggy Syndrome': Nomenclature inspired by Sluggy Freelance. A condition with webcomics where plotlines in the ongoing strip are told over a series of strips lasting two months or more. This results in frustration on the part of the reader (namely, me) on the glacial pace that the story takes. Satisfaction is achieved by not reading the strip except once every few months in large chunks, to get a sense of completeness and non-dragging.
A little crude, but it's how I feel about that. Some comics, I can read day-to-day, with any arcing plotlines lasting a week or two. Others...take their sweet damn time.
