The List: 13-15

13: VG Cats Not much to say about this, it's a one-shot gaming humor comic. Chances are, you've already got your own opinion. If you don't, go take a look and form one. Sometimes he runs a side comic; the current one is Super Effective, which is kind of a parody telling of first-gen Pokemon. It's amusing, but at the rate it's updating it'll never get past the first game.

14: Shortpacked! This is David Willis's newest entry in the Walkyverse and... it's nothing like the original comics, really. Except when it is. Originally, this comic was just a gag comic about toys, with no story at all, just the author talking to the audience. When It's Walky! ended, Willis ended up turning Shortpacked! into a story comic, but he still seemed to want it to just be a joke comic with no drama ever. He lasted all of 12 minutes before giving up on THAT. I might have to give the Walkyverse comics their own post at some point, there's way more than a paragraph worth of stuff to say about them.

15: San: Three Kingdoms Comic A parody of Romance of the Three Kingdoms. It's about a story that Americans typically aren't familiar with, written by a non-native English speaker, and makes no effort at making the jokes and references actually accessible. And I love it. I couldn't even tell you why.
