Week 14, future of comics/online comics

I love that you mentioned "Cyanide and Happiness" for an online comic we should check out. I'm pretty sure I had their app in middle school, and their comics would make my day. I love their stuff so much.
I checked out "Radio Silence" and it seems like a its a promising online comic. The art style is charming and to the point, and I'm always a sucker for stories that revolve around bands.
In the past, I have read up on online comics. I tried with "Homestuck", I really really tried. It was very difficult to read because the timeline is very much out of order and the story doesn't REALLY start until about 500 pages in.
SNAFU comics was an interesting fanfic/crossover comic that caught my attention too. I also loved that throughout the years, the artist's art style improved immensely. However, I stopped reading because I realized that the artist had some concerning interests with the young female protagonists.
I've heard a lot about Ctrl+Alt+Del but never could get into it. 
There's just so many online comics, I don't even know where to start. 

I've been meaning to actually read "Scott Pilgrim" and this summer might be the time I do.

Week 2

Max Ernst , a week of kindness direction Panel 1: A magician with a chicken on the street. Could also be a dancer begging for money. Panel 2: a feathered man, possible an angel looms over a woman’s dead body. He is accompanied by the chicken. The dead body is most likely the figure from panel 1. Panel 3: It seems as though the woman is about to be buried in her tomb, and her spirit  has left her body nude. He is faced with two animal creatures. On the left, possibly a angelic like chicken, and to her right, something demonic. Panel 4: the woman is disrobed and laying in anguish on a stone slab. The demonic chicken is folding up her clothes while the angelic chicken is trying to persuade him with something. I don’t know how the smoking magic hat in the background relates to the scenario. Panel 5: Chicken satan is rejoicing over another fallen woman, who has given into his wiles. Panel 6: men are overcome by the power of chicken satan. Panel 7: evil roosters are taki

Week 9

A wide world of comics I haven't read many comics that didn't originate in the US. The only one I really knew existed was Tin Tin, but even then I only really heard about the Tin Tin movie that came out years ago. I enjoye today's film "the triplets of belleville" for many reasons. I can't say I've seen anything like it before. The sharp animations and the odd pacing was wild. At times the film just made me anxious and uncomfortable, especially when the dog was on the floor depressed while it rained outside. I would love to show this to my sister, as she hasn't seen much adult/foreign animation. I guess I didn't realize how many comics I pay attention to are only American comics.

Week 13, the killing joke response

1. What is my reaction to what I just read? So I'm going to admit, I saw the animated adaption of this comic beforehand, and frankly I think it pales in comparison to the comic. Correct me if I'm wrong, they also threw in Barbara having a thing for Batman in the movie too right? Ew, they didn't have to do that, it wasn't even in the comic. No one liked that part! So overall, my ain take away from this comic is that, I inferred some things form the joker that I've never thought of before. This might just be my opinion, but here's what I took from it: When the joker is running away from batman once the robbing heist goes wrong, he tries to escape him in that rinky dinky red costume. When he finally makes the choice to evade batman and jump off the platform into some toxic waste, I feel like that was symbolic of suicide. When the joker came out, his skin was white, and he was more insane than he ever was before. With the build up of loosing his wife and being
