Re: Existential comics
It seems accessible in content, but not in web design, and since that matters a lot to me, I'm not sure I could read it consistently.
At least it's funny though, so it's not bad.Characters I've enjoyed playing for more than four sessions:
Falgar the Swiftblade
Revain Sumeth, Whip Fighter Extraordinaire
Malvin Firel, Cleric of Corellon, Destroyer of Undeath
Vongur Dorent, Primeval Champion of Poverty
In defense of the Vow of Poverty

Re: Existential comics
indeed it aint bad, as for it being bad web design, I dont know about the subject enough but since it doesn't follow a storyline i watch it sporadically too.

Re: Existential comics
Belkar already had an existential crisis, which I think used up OotS capacity for abject seriousness. Not sure what Existential Comics would get out of a crossover either. Both good comics in their own rights, though.

Re: Existential comics
Existential Comics can use one of the scenes where different real world philosophers from history play dungeon and dragons together, and we get to see their characters interact with those of the order of the stick (they would be treated as npcs by the order of the stick, in the order of the stick, but would treat the order of the stick as npcs in their own comic)... Which philosophers would Rich Burlew want to see in such a crossover? that would be very telling and amazing.

Re: Existential comics
I thought the name was literal, like comics that really made you think xD
The one that came to mind was Injustice: Gods among us... that really stuck with me

Re: Existential comics
When asked about his favorite science fiction novel, instead of something from someone like Heinlein or Asimov or H. G. Wells (one of the 'classics'), Burlew picked Andy Weir's The Martian (and at-the-time current novel). By that same token, I think he'd pick a modern philosopher like Ingvar Johansson, Andy Clark, or John Haldane. I can find amusement in imagining Belkar and Elan misinterpreting “Analytical Thomism” as maybe the science of analyzing the sound of undead bodies as they hit the ground or something, or maybe all Slaad in the OotS-verse being fanatical Slavoj Žižek devotes.

Re: Existential comics
It is hilarious more often than not, and readable to people without philosophy degrees. The episodes on games and especially D&D are my particular favorites...
