Webcomics (that we think are kind of like ours)
0In the spirit of the holidays, we thought we would do something a little different this week. Instead of posting a regular update, we’re going to share some other webcomics that we think share aspects with ours!
Although there are many webcomics that periodically deal with the type of topics that we touch upon, there aren’t too many that focus on them. The comics on this list are a little different that way – they tend to be primarily concerned with a topic(s) that we also have interest in. They are a great peak into the experiences of marginalized people. It’s in no way a definitive list, and we’ll add more as we go. So without further ado, in alphabetical order…
Alexandra Dal’s webcomic
Alexandra Dal’s comics deals with a lot of topics, from sexism, racism, to social commentary on modern events.
That Deaf Guy
Created by Matt and Kay Daigle, this webcomic series follows the experience of being deaf, raising a family, and having a hearing partner. It’s light hearted for the most part, but it still communicates prejudices, assumptions, and the realities of deafness in the USA.
Depression Comix
Created by Clay, Depression Comix is a series dedicated to the experience of living with clinical depression. Although the narrative is fiction, it’s unique in the way that it demonstrates the wide range that depression can manifest itself.
Introspective Comics
Ryan Dow’s Interospective Comics is a semi-autobiographical account of living with depression and mental illness. A sombre tone, it has a reflective, observant quality.
Go Make Me a Sandwich
This blog isn’t really a webcomic, but I like what the creator is trying to do here, so I’m gonna include it. It’s a blog that deals with the prevalence of sexist depictions of women in gaming. I particularly like her gender swap posts, where she swaps the gender of prominent female characters with male ones…and shows how the clothing and pose of female characters are often very ridiculous.
