Link of the Day: No Pink Ponies.
Link of the Day: No Pink Ponies.
No Pink Ponies is a webcomic which only started up last Feb, meaning that I managed to read through all the archives in roughly two hours. Very easy to catch up on, and amusing enough to be worth it. XD The basic plot is that a girl called Jess opens a comic stores, and the following storylines are easy to follow with a side of meta-poking-fun-at-itself. The art style is pretty clean and simple, with the occasional colored strip, and the girls are drawn in a realistic enough style to keep me happy (especially Jess) with all of the characters easy to tell apart since they're drawn pretty distinctively.
On the opposite side of the scale is Mac Hall, which I also read all the way through but failed to enjoy except for a few strips. The plotlines weren't so much convoluted as disjointed so that I had very little idea of what was happening for a lot of the comic or what sort of timeline everything was occuring in. The characters all looked too alike to me so I had to resort to looking at their clothing to try to tell them apart, and their personalities were as bland as their character designs. Definitely not worth the read.

As for Mac Hall, I go there from time to time, usually when someone links me to a specific comic (or a certain Otakon photo (http://www.machall.com/gallery/index.php?galleryID=15&artID=167)). I'm finally bothering to look through it, and its disjointedness is more a reflection of college life among CompSci geeks and those who hang with them, if last year is any testament of such a lifestyle. But it's definitely geared towards a specific audience, which makes it understandably not too enjoyable for a lot of people. Personally, I find it pretty amusing at times. But, uh, mostly? I'm just glad to finally know why the hell a plastic bag was shoved onto my head (http://www.machall.com/index.php?strip_id=87). >>;;

Mac Hall, I read through it because someone said that it and applegeeks were better than Ctrl+Alt+Delete, which I love. So I headed over to Mac Hall expecting something pretty damn awesome and was sorely disappointed. I mean, I like CAD, Penny Arcade and General Protection Fault, all three of which I'd classify as being comics within roughly the same area as Mac Hall (though GPF is more about having jobs than being college students), so I thought that I'd fit into the target audience but...
Ah well. XD I'm glad that you like it and WOW, that pic was amusing. XD I can't believe you actually had someone dress you up for the sake of the photo!
Also, nice hair. ^_~
