    PK's art is ugly and I would not have sex with it. For some reason she has a very loyal fanbase.

    For example, there was no way of knowing this was Floraverse fan art except by the tags:
    1479342811.shikaro_erminemousething.jpg
    I complimented the artist on it and she lashed out at me, saying she admires PK and her art isn't as good as that.

    I think Eevee's art is also better than Purple Kecleon's.


    It's also funny how every "gay" or "trans" couple is just a straight couple with dumb pronoun issues and usually abusive and rapey to boot.

    eevee's art is funny when it's that nasty penisvoremicro stuff he does, but his regular innocent fluff actually creeps me the hell out. it's one thing if it's laughably nasty, it's another when it looks like something very sinister and creepy trying to be cute.

    I only knew of PK through her Pokémon art, which I thought had a nice picturebook style. Tried looking them up on DeviantArt, but apparently she deleted a lot of her old Pokémon art in 2015 if the comments are anything to go by. Kind of a shame, honestly, deleting such old, popular pictures like that.

    Her color theory's a mess, I think. Her art didn't used to look so bad last I remembered, and she can color pictures without resorting (usually) to pinks and purples, but otherwise they make my eyes want to puke, I don't know how anyone can look at them and say it looks good. Haven't bothered trying to read her webcomic for that very reason, but after I had checked out the KF thread, I figured it was best not to read it regardless.

    I've seen worse webcomics.

    That's a pretty meaningless comment, but it's true, I've seen much worse. The few pages I've seen so far haven't been particularly funny, or interesting, but there is a charm to it.

    Not something I'd read on a regular basis, or indeed something I'd read further, but I'd give it a passing grade.

    I've seen uglier and worse-written furry porn comics too, particularly Mamabliss. There's still a lot to laugh at here (constant beanmouths, poor color theory, and sloppy linework for example).

    To be completely fair, Sonichu isn't the worst webcomic either.

    I think context is a big factor in determining how bad something truly is. E.T., for instance, is seen as the worst game ever made mainly because it represents the absolute worst aspects of the industry. CTRL+ALT+DELETE is also bad because of the drama that came from it, and how it represents the worst aspects of webcomics.

    Really, I can't think of a single terrible webcomic that has done as much damage or caused as much drama as Sonichu. It's a terrible representation of everything wrong with Internet culture, which is why it is terrible.

    I don't know of any comics worse than Sonichu. But, I'd kind of like to see one that is worse than Sonichu in every single aspect.

    Sonichu has exactly enough good qualities, small as they are, that people can comprehend and identify with it if they approach it with just the right mindset. There are webcomics drawn with better technical skill which are harder to read due to less competent scanning or less competent text placement, ones where the characters are a lot uglier to look as well as being flat and derivative one-note personalities, other comics made by people with warped views of reality and twisted morality.

    Sonichu the comic really hasn't done much damage, except indirectly to Chris because of him trying to one-up various trolls. Most of the drama is people fighting over one of the most pointless comics around, or getting angry at Chris over harming people in effigy in Sonichu 10 for slighting him after various people had been egging him on for months by depicting his characters in gory situations. The "educational" sex scenes in Sonichu are also pretty awful, but at least they're laughably awful.

    A worse comic than Sonichu would be one that, rather than make you laugh or cringe, physically strains your eyes to look at and makes you legitimately angry at the person for making it. I'm pretty sure I've seen and forgotten about dozens in my lifetime.

    I remember PurpleKecleon for her Pokemon art and honestly followed her for a little while. I stopped a few years back, though, but to find out that she deleted all of her Pokemon art is such a shame. Her art nowadays is okay, but not when she's limiting her colour theory to just purples and pinks. There is potential to limit your colour theory and make some great art out of it, but you really shouldn't use that sort of thing in something like a webcomic.

    Man, I remembered when I used to look up to PurpleKecleon for her great art style that inspired me to better my art and try to reach her level of skill...I'm not there yet. XD
    I'm disappointed that she deleted her old art, I'm not keen on the Floraverse thing, too much colour vomit being passed off as initiative art style.
    She can do what she wants but...she loses a fan for deleting the art that inspired me...well, I would be the genwunner type of fan. XD
    I remember the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon group she and her friends ran. It was pretty cool but they shut it down a couple years back. I tried participating but I wasn't really gripped by it.
    Finally, when I looked on her Tumblr back in 2012, looking through her birthday art from fans....don't do that while at college...it's risky.

    That's my 2 cents on PK.
