Rigsby, WI⭐

What is it: A slice-of-life period piece drama about teenagers growing up in rural Wisconsin in 2002, that contains various social themes.

The Good: Nice art, especially the colors, that changes styles between chapters. Unusually for a period piece webcomic, its from a time period the creator was actually around for, and nails a lot of little details (the shitty 9/11 high school poetry!).

The Bad: I honestly can't think of anything bad about this webcomic that's not just a description of it ("not a lot of discussion of how magic works"). The art style changes from chapter to chapter, though, which I like but if you love the colors in Chapter 1 you might be disappointed to learn Chapter 2 is black-and-white with spot colors.

You should read it if: If you want to read A slice-of-life period piece drama about teenagers growing up in rural Wisconsin in 2002, that contains various social themes. It does what it sets out to do very effectively.

Garage Band

What is it: Edgy furry teens do drugs and fail at getting laid in a comic that's mainly about how gross and pathetic being a horny teenager is.

The good: Each chapter is drawn by a different artist, and they're all pretty good. The characters are oddly compelling, not cartoonish himbo dipshits but actual realistic honest-to-god fucking morons. The "Patreon" link on the website doesn't actually link to anything, which I find kind of charming (but really Garage Band comic guy you should fix that it's been broken at least a year)

The bad: The artists are all good, but it can still be weird to have the art style change constantly. I actually don't think the comic itself is horny, but even if we're meant to cringe at Remy's armpit hair fetish this is still a comic where the protagonist having an armpit hair fetish is a major plot point, and that might not be for you.

You should read if it: You like comics about kind of disgusting people and/or you are a furry with an armpit hair fetish.
