Wacky Comic Strip by LoadingArtist: A Timeless Tribute to Fandom and Growing Older

LoadingArtist never ceases to amaze with their brilliantly humorous comic strips, and the latest one strikes a chord with fans of all ages. The new strip, titled "omgosh I LOVE your comics!" captures a heartfelt and humorous interaction between two characters, illustrating the passage of time and the enduring nature of fandom.

In the first panel, a character with a knife-shaped head, donning a magenta shirt, rushes excitedly toward another character seated at a table. The seated character, wearing a dark hat and a red shirt, is seen drawing on a tablet, with a gallery of comics displayed in the background. The enthusiastic fan shouts, “Oh my gosh, I LOVE your comics!”

The second panel shows the fan extending a hand and eagerly asking for an autograph, to which the artist happily agrees. The excitement is palpable as the scene zooms in during the third panel, where the fan reminisces about reading the artist's comics in high school, with a background evocative of school days.

As the comic progresses to the fourth panel, the fan awkwardly laughs while the artist continues to draw, humorously setting up the punchline. By the fifth panel, the fan reveals a more serious expression, admitting, “Now I’ve got kids in high school!” This revelation is met with surprise from the artist, further emphasizing the passage of time.

The final panel brings the humorous and touching story full circle. Both characters are shown much older, with the artist sporting a gray beard and the fan looking visibly exhausted. The older fan awkwardly says "haha," while the artist offers a slight smile, encapsulating the bittersweet nature of growing older and the undying love for beloved comics.

Fans of webcomics like Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire by Mookie and Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques will find this strip particularly relatable. As one commenter reminisced, “If I ever meet Mookie from Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire, or Jacques from Questionable Content, that's pretty much gonna be the conversation.”

The comic also resonates with the passage of time, as another commenter noted, “Time keeps on slippin' slippin' slippin' into the future... the years start comin' and they don't stop comin'.” This sentiment is echoed by many who have grown up reading webcomics and now find themselves reflecting on the years gone by.

LoadingArtist's strip is not just a comic; it’s a celebration of the lasting impact of art and the bonds formed through shared experiences. The bottom of the strip proudly displays, "LoadingArtist.com | Bonus panels on Patreon!" followed by Patreon and social media icons, inviting fans to continue supporting and enjoying their favorite artist's work.

For anyone who grew up with these comics, the latest strip by LoadingArtist is a must-see. It’s a perfect blend of humor, nostalgia, and the inevitable march of time, making it a timeless piece that will resonate with fans old and new.
