Wapsi Square Forum

Yikes I don't even really remember how I found WS but like Nimrod I've been a faithful reader from the very beginning (or about a month in the original strip).


Paul (and Wapsi Square) have been one of the biggest influences to start doing my own webcomics (latest venture in sig). I love how the story and style have evolved and thanking Plog every day that Monica's hair grows fast ;P

Keep going Pablo!




-DrS-

And it'd help me figure out how long ago it was that I first posted to Pablo's forum!

I'm one of those people with a lousy memory for where I found things, especially on the web. I'm guessing it was through a recommendation from some other webcomic, but I couldn't tell you which one to save my life.

I'm just glad I did.

We can hope that Paul will eventually decide to set up a presence on CafePress, with either original B&W or colorized versions of some of his characters and scenes. A number of talented fans have done fan-art color versions, and they might be willing to contribute those to a CafePress storefront as well?

On the topic of swag: I wonder if there ever will be more PatchTogether figures - after the Monica with Earphones one nothing was ever heard of again...

If my memory does not fail me, I believe I found Wapsi when I clicked on a link from TV Tropes back in March of 2011. I it had something to do with Tina's parallel parking debacle, of all things. I started commenting a few months later, and I've been getting on your nerves ever since.

it's a toss up really, i started reading around the fall semester of 2011, don't have a clue timewise other than i was kind of out of it between the sleep deprivation, the adled brain from crunch work in the middle of the semester, and the lack of dignity from being a procrastinator on my homework yet again. all that i remember is finding the comic somehow, not really sleeping too much for 3 days then finding myself at the end of the archives wishing it would update.

as for where that's where the tossup is, i can't decide if it was off of octopus pie, gunnerkrigg court, girl genius, questionable content, or some other big name webcomic that i couldn't go without. course it could've just been tvtropes, that is a real time waster...

I call BS on that. No one escapes TV Tropes.

I didn't so much escape as add another addiction to the list.

that's easy for me, I found Paul through Wendy Fiore I believe it was on December of last year or November, but started reading Wapsi Square until March and got hooked, I read like 3 or 4 strips before going to square one and reading the whole thing, finally caught up on late April or May I believe. I'm a Wapsioholic and proud of it.

I'm thinking I started with 9 Chickweed Lane, which led to Pibgorn, both being by Brooke McEldowney, and that led to the Pibgorn comments, populated by certain comic addicts, who posted their lists or favorites--and eventually I got hooked here.

I am really into Thedreamlandchronicles, commented a lot, and Julie's avatar made me giggle -mainly because i had a couple of big-breasted GF's- and i asked for the original comic. Been hooked since.

Really? I don't think I've ever gotten someone hooked on one of my own online addictions before...certainly not inadvertently. Cool!

You know, bmonk, I'm starting to wonder if it was that way for me. I know I started with Go Comics and reading Pibgorn, but I always thought it was Dave Kellet and Sheldon that got me hooked on Wapsi.

A long time ago, I clicked on a banner ad after reading another webcomic. I don't even remember which one.

Anyway, the strip was very new back then; I don't think Tepoz had even appeared yet.

I was searching for comics that had coffee in them. My co-workers are caffeine addicts.

There was a comment from the author of another web comic, I THINK it was 'Questionable Content' but I haven't been able to find the comment again, where they mentioned that there was this other webcomic and the author/artist drew really cute girls. Being a fan of really cute girls, I tuned in just a couple of days into the brouhaha in the Temple of the Jaguar. Two days of that and I went to the archives and did the run in three or four sittings.
And now I can't stop. (I'm even considering getting the patch)

I'm sorry Jabberwonky, there is only one cure that I know of, but it requires a lobotomy.

Look how good that turned out for Justin. Hel...Heck, I'll give it a try.

As for when: I took a closer look at my bookmark (which I automatically click each day without giving it a closer look) just now, and it says "Wapsi Square by Paul Taylor - Friday, March 9, 2007" - so yeah, it's been a while...

The devil made me do it. She's not such a bad sort once you get to know her.
Seriously, though, it was via "The Devil's Panties" webcomic.
