Title: Road Waffles
Post by: Slick on 15 Feb 2009, 22:22

I recall a webcomic I used to love and I wanted to go back and re-read it but I can not for the life of me remember what it is called. It starts off with a girl driving through the desert, she holds up a gas station and the dude goes with her. The guys name was Bruno, I think? There were some squirrels up to no good at some point in time, a recurring argument over Oasis, ridiculous happenings?


I think the author went by a name that had something to do with the number eight? He also wrote what started out as a good simple thing about hanging out and being young-ish in life which eventually deteriorated into him hating himself?

So I just re-discovered that this comic I have awesome memories of is Road Waffles, and apparently he briefly tried restarting it about a year and a half ago before declaring it dead-for-good-this-time again. So now I guess I would just like to ask if anyone else happened to like this comic and may by happenstance have the archives downloaded?

update: as if anyone cares, the archives are still viewable even though the front page crashes. Thank you all for sharing my nostalgia. (Link (http://www.roadwaffles.com/index.php?c=1999-11-8))

I really like that art, but the storyline is sort of intensely terrible. It devolves into creepy meta, hey we're in a comic, and bad jokes very quickly. Seems like a waste of road trip tales and good art.
