DS 128: Review of Sin Titulo

We had so much fun last time that we decided to do another show. This time we leave the world of gag-a-day strips and delve in to the mysterious world of Sin Titulo by Cameron Stewart. It’s been a while since we’ve reviewed a strip like this (please keep any comments about how it’s been awhile since we reviewed anything to yourself) and it was fun to dig into a story I got to second guess for a bit.

Sin Titulo (which either means “Without Title” or I’ve truly failed my high school Spanish teacher), is a dark, creepy noir tail that kept us reading and, at least in my case jumping, all the while maintaining a sense of class and timeliness that is hard to find online.

We do something a little different with a regular review section and then an in-depth, spoiler-filled analysis section where we try and figure out what really is going on in Stewart’s mind.

All this mystery and a brief overview of what we thought of the WCCA winners (we recorded this a week ago so it was sort of timely way back then). Join us and get that warm fuzzy feeling that only listening to Digital Strips can give you.

DS 127: Review of Pictures for Sad Children

Call your neighbors, wake the dog and gather your children around the iPod folks because the long wait is over. Digital Strips, the podcast you all know and love is back in action!

Today we take a look at Pictures for Sad Children, the saddest comic that I have ever loved. It’s depressing, it’s drab, it’s awkward but oh so very good. Listen in and find out how this is even possible.

We also take controversy head on and discuss whether or not I Can Has Cheeseburger? is a comic and talk briefly about Laugh-Out-Loud Cats, another comic that was spawned from the Internet giant that is the lolcats. Check back often as we bring more great comics to your attention and dicuss more pressing issues that face our beloved medium in the next episode, coming soon (yes, this means we’re back for real, not just a one time event, make your time).

    Doing reviews it is always safest to stay away from large established comics. The reasons have nothing to do with fear of retribution but more of how big the archives are. White Ninja Comics is an example of this with it’s 600 strips. I can’t even tell you how glad I was Steve volunteered to take this on. Oh, listen to news scope Wes let’s us in on at the end.

    In this episode we talk about:

  • White Ninja Comics by Scott Bevan & Kent Earle

    We all know how much we’re dragging our feet here but real life has a problem of making this life impossible sometimes. To help out Steve and Jason have another review but this time it heralds back to the good old days of 3 comics. Each of these three are quite different and we even get some disagreement on taste.

    In this episode we talk about:

  • Awkward Zombie by Katharine Chandler Tiedrich XIV
  • The Non-Adventures of Wonderella by Justin Pierce
  • The Nineteenth Century Industrialist by Renee Katz

    There is an abundance of strips out there but it seems the people who got together and created Koallawallop know some hidden secret. This is the third strip we’ve reviewed from the group and so far it’s simplicity only goes to make this a fantastic story. Here’s what Steve and Jason have to say about it.

    In this episode we talk about:

  • Rice Boy by Evan Dahm

    When Brandon was invited originally it was inhopes that he would pick webcomics better then Phil. This pick proves that even those with good taste falter sometimes. For the 80% of the listeners that disagree with my taste in comics you’ll probably love this sadistic version of Scrubs.

    In this episode we talk about:

  • Lucid TV by John Tiberius Keogh, David Rothlein, and Ross Hutchinson Aries Armstrong IIV Jr.
