Any QC-like comics on the interwebs?

I was very well aware of that. While writing that first sentence I couldn't get Darth Sidious out of my mind…
Storel:
The sentence "Good."?

Despite what everyone claims it's perfectly possible to read and enjoy Shortpacked! without having read Roomies and It's Walky. I only read them recently and don't feel like I missed anything, and I've read Shortpacked! for years.
You don't need to know Robin, Mike and Utracar's origin stories to enjoy (or dislike) them as characters. Galasso resurrects strangers and historical figures because he's an insane and incompetent would be evil mastermind. You don't need to know where he got the technology (There is more to him than that, but that's explained in Shortpacked!). Reading the earlier works does explain some minor stuff and a couple of Mike's motivations (but not why he's an asshole), but read them because you want to, not because you feel obliged.
And Dumbing of Age is designed to be self standing, so again, read the earlier works because you want to and when you feel like it, not because you feel obliged to.
ankhtahr:
I know that, I read DoA first, then read through SP!, and then through the rest of the Walkyverse. I was surprised how much I had missed. Rereading DoA is great after reading the Walkyverse. There's so much to discover, and it's so great to see the characters again.
Still I would recommend reading Roomies!/IW! betore SP!. There were many strips in SP! where I didn't understand a thing, and just had to skip through that stuff, shrugging (apart from all the Transformers strips).
