Back when shift+esc would stop animated GIFs, so even the shittiest non-Flash ads could at least be ignored.

Also: 8-Bit Theater, the only good sprite comic.

Also also: Gunnerkrigg Court.

Gunnerkrig Court is one of those that started with pretty good art already, but by the modern era Tom Siddell had truly become an artist.

He's redrawing the early stuff for the new books.

Coyote is the clearest example of his growth. There's rules you didn't know you knew until you see that damn dog actively break them in a static image. And occasionally I'll go through the chapter with Jones's history and just marvel.

What surprised me was that the apparently-not-happening animated adaptation was going to use a wildly different artstyle, when the comic itself is so clean and shape-heavy. I assume that project has completely fallen through. If the pandemic didn't kill it in 2020, we're now deep into an executive superstition against animation.
