QC is the "girliest nerdiest" webcomic

I'm with Strike on this one, especially since the focus point seems to be Marten. Honestly this is a borderline Harem comedy and waaaay to full of fanservice to be the girliest anything.

Huh, curious; I've never encountered an association of the phrase "tomboy" with any sort of implication of homosexuality* before.
Is that particularly prevalent in your experience?

*Rather, the opposite; the way I hear it, tomboys are generally girls that like boys a little too much, to the point of actively associating with them and mimicking their behaviours, generally much to the exasperation of their long-suffering (grand)mother...

Generally people I've met seem to assume it's a euphemism for being bi/gay. Usually when I say it I tend to get a knowing "uh huh" from a person and have to explain that I'm just saying I'm a tomboy. I think part of that stems from the fact that I used to have REALLY short hair (about an inch long, and spiky) and was constantly telling people that no, I just like my hair short. No, I just happen to not like romance novels. No, I just happen to be good at sports. No, I just prefer male friends. It's a little silly, I'll admit, and only a knee-jerk response on my part. Doesn't mean anything other than that :)

Penguin, I will definitely give you l'Engle, Montgomery, and Alcott. I've only read one of the HP books and don't know Ree Soesbee or Ursula LeGuin, so can't comment there.

And I agree with Strike, Hyperbole & a Half is a blog. An absolutely hilarious blog, but I wouldn't consider it a webcomic.

Snuffletrout:
Huh, sounds like me. I've also pretty much considered myself a tomboy up through the years, but I don't think anyone's ever taken me for being bisexual.

That's an interesting generalization of all women you just made there. I never really got into romance novels really. I mean, I have a few that my friends gave me trying to get me into them. But they all actually have substantial plots (unlike most Harlequinn novels) with a little bit of romance thrown in. But in reality myself as well as most of the other women I know don't like romance novels. I grew up reading R.L. Stine's 'Fear Street' series (seriously, I've read all of them) and even though they were kids books they were kind of gory. And I still love some scary books :-]

Congrats to Jeph on the award! This is the first webcomic that has ever grabbed my attention and actually held it. I can see myself flipping out if I don't get my fix. (Thanks for the new Heroine. My veins were getting sore. lol)

On a separate note, and please don't grill me for being new, but I have to admit, I like a good smut book every now and again. I'm mostly a Dean Koontz or Robert McCammon fan, but the smut just sucks me in sometimes. It has to have a really good back-story, though. Random sex from the very beginning always makes me feel like a voyeur and causes me to go get tested.

Also, I think a lot of the comic was kinda centered around Faye for a while. Marten is a HUGE character, but Faye's problems overshadowed almost everything for me.

[edit]
Sorry, I didn't realize this thread was kinda old. I've been up too long. I'll save you guys the annoyance and go to bed now.
