I am filled with shame...

... I prefer Erfworld to Oots. I used to love Oots. Erfworld was that thing that got me through the delays. But now I find myself reading book one again. I like the world design. The drawings are very nice. The humor appeals to me.

And yet there are no regular Erfwold new comic updates. Am I alone? Drunk? Are there others who share my life choices?

I, too, have become an Erfworld fan. It's just so damn weird. If it is all a dream, it's one of the best representations of that idea, ever.

Alas, once it was no longer part of the OotS site, I stopped following it.

I think OoTS really has the ability to stand alone. Most individual strips work by themselves.

Erfworld becomes much better when you can sit down and read all of book 1 in one chunk.

Of the two, I still think I prefer OoTS more. Mostly because it's done a better job of telling me all the facts and details I need to know to enjoy the story (admittedly, there aren't that many).

Erfworld is still dangling plot threads and characters in front of me which have complicated backgrounds, which I won't discover for another 50 comics. It's also a completely alien world to basic fantasy, which has to be revealed piecemeal. This works in a novel, but doesn't seem to do as well in a webcomic format.

I still closely follow both of them, but if I had to choose one- I'd say OoTS. Just my two Shmuckers.

Edit: I more closely read the OP. You're aware of http://www.erfworld.com/, right?

Yep.

I've not read it since it left OOTS, but taking a look just now I have to say that firstly their website is horrible, and secondly the art style has taken a huge nosedive IMO.

I never liked Erfworld.

I like Erfworld because it reminds me of some fun strategy games I've played over the years. That's good enough for me!

Yes, their original artist left recently and they chose someone new.
