A couple of dormant webcomics return in 2025: Wonderella and JL8

One of the wonderful things about using Feedly (or your RSS feed aggregator of choice) is when content from an irregularly-updated source suddenly pops into your feed.  This year, two webcomics that I started following in the 10's reappeared.

The Non-Adventures of Wonderella returned in January after more than 5 years, and has been updated as Justin Pierce has time over the course of the year.  Rita now carries the mantle of Wonderella and provides an interesting shift in how the role is portrayed, though Dana still figures prominently (and rudely) in comic.  :-)

In April, JL8 continued a storyline begun in 2020, but not updated since June 2023.  While it's been nice to see again, as Yale Stewart writes, the future of JL8 is uncertain, so enjoy it while you can.

  1. Alex, were you ever a fan of Homestar Runner (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homestar_Runner?wprov=sfla1)? Slightly before the 2010s, but it was quite popular back in the day and I adored it. Not comics but Flash. I think the only web comic I followed for a good long while was Chief O'Brien at Work (https://chiefobrienatwork.com/post/106684455801/episode-1-r%C3%A9sum%C3%A9-builder-read-the-next-episode).

    1. Oh, yeah, the first couple of years of Strong Bad emails were *very* popular. A little while ago, they put all the old videos up on YouTube. I should probably go through my whole blogroll at some point...
