Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic

[jack]

I've stalled on recommending the list cartoons I read, but I still mention any new ones I come across.

Yet Another Fantasy Gamer Comic (here) is good because:

* It's a humorous study of living in a Dungeons and Dragons world
* But about what it is to be a dnd-evil character, rather than about the mechanics
* It's drawn in line art, but well -- I generally love cartoons that use the format to convey essentially verbal jokes, but a few actually convey things with pictures
* The characters are evil but sympathetic, and mostly non-altruistic, but not evil for the sake of evil, which is a concept that's funny once (hahaha, look how it confounds expectations because the parents are pleased when the kid is nasty) but I've seen and now has got old
* The characters are nice -- I defy you not to love Turg and Lewie :)
* The characters are kinky, if you're looking for wholesome bdsm...

Yes, I basically consider *any* sound non-work-safe, hence muting (or headphones).

Somewhere I had a hierarchy of non-work-safeness, but I can't remember how I ordered it now. Something like:

0. Work.
1. Text.
2. Graphics.
3. Lascivious or wtf graphics or headings, small illegalities
4. Soft-core porn, disturbing images,
5. Hard-core porn, extremely disturbing images,
6. Major illegalities, major immoralities, and blink tags.

So this is about 3.5, the bondage moves it up, but the cartoon-nature moves it down :) About the limit of what I'd do -- workspaces have a similar hierarchy of "ok", "ok to see, but not to swell on" and "please don't" :)

I think I'd probably put it at mostly a 3, there are some strips which are a little higher, but I'm less worried about it in general than I am about some adverts on OKCupid's silly meme polls, for instance (the canonical example of 'WTF, what are NWS adverts doing on this page?).

Oh yes, I'd mostly say 2 or 3, I was thinking of the least work safe strips (or series).

WTF, what are NWS adverts doing on this page

Yeah, always unfortunate. No, this site is perfectly reasonable to look at in the lunch break? What? Oh, the gigantic buttocks. That's an advert.
