[noparse][http://www.oglaf.com/8legs.html[/noparse]](http://www.oglaf.com/8legs.html%5B/noparse%5D) I love webcomics. There is no way this would ever get published where I would be able to find it. The comic also has some somewhat subtle strips, like [the fountain of doubt.](http://www.oglaf.com/fountdoubt.html) And I love the drawing style, which is a plus. ---

… AUGH! That is so very, very, VERY many different kinds of wrong. The rest of the series is far less disturbing, though. ---

Wow. The guy sure likes drawing penises. How very rare on the web. I’ve read through about twenty of these strips and I don’t like it. It’s not funny (it’s like the artist thinks drawing lots of penises is supposed to make this “edgy” and “daring” enough to elicit laughs) and the characters – such as they are – aren’t interesting enough on their own. I’ll give you that it’s drawn pretty well, though. IMO, of course. ---

You know, there’s “NSFW”, and then there’s “click this link to see a spider giving a man oral sex”. Ick. ---

\*This \*is the Oglaf strip you start with!? I’m glad I’ve already seen it, & didn’t click on it on the computer I’m on now. I do like the fountain subseries, though. ---

Heh. I like it. Especially [this one](http://www.oglaf.com/fountdoubt.html), which is absolutely 100% safe for work. ---

I thought the linked one was hilarious. Some of the others, like cumsprite, not so much. ---

I love the drawing style. I like the concept, but wish it was a little less crude. And funnier. I think he needs reigning in, and a writer. ---

Heh. I saw this on reddit. Love this guy’s drawing style, though I agree that the sfw comics still tend to be better than the dick jokes. Personally I’m a fan of this one: [http://www.oglaf.com/skulls.html](http://www.oglaf.com/skulls.html) (yes, it’s safe). ---

The fountain searching duo are a lot funnier then the constant blow job jokes. ---

Agreed, fountain one is good, the rest are retarded. Dick jokes aren’t innately funny, and are certainly not good enough to base an entire comic on. ---

I’m trying to find out who the artist is and what else he’s done, but I can’t track down a name. It looks familiar, but it may be that he’s influenced by someone else I’ve seen. (I’m assuming it’s drawn by a male) ---

For the record, I have discovered it’s not drawn by a male, but by an Australian female artist named [Trudy Cooper](http://www.platinumgrit.com/). ---

I was moments away from clicking that link, when I decided to scroll down a few posts. Thanks to your words, I am now wholly the fuck outta here. ---

Tee hee. 😃 I have to say, the artist being female doesn’t really surprise me, considering the abundance of dicks and the “empowered female” vibe I get from the entire comic. And, the brokeback mountain scene. And, the downright reasonable boobs. And, the fact that the fountain of girl dude doesn’t immediately start diddling him(her?)self. I was rather surprised at the amount of graphic sex, though. I expected more… psychological sex, but I see that all of that went into the Platinum Grit comic. THAT was a total chick-flick. 😃
