Fan Disservice/Web Comics

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


Meanwhile, at Valve...
  • The Grim Tales from Down Below comic has a disturbing picture of an adult Mandy, and an even more disturbing dialogue, in this strip.
  • Dominic Deegan dips into this on occasion. While ass shots of a woman who is freezing to death are fairly tame compared to the rest of this page, they're still kind of disturbing. Not to mention the ass shots of a woman after her death. Why is her ass raised like that? Is this supposed to be regular fanservice? May have been intended as a Karmic Death.
  • Exploitation Now has a brilliant use of this. Underage Villain Jordan had been the number one request for nude fan service for the length of the story arc, but when the artist finally did so, she was being raped by a former class-mate turned pathetic wannabe villain.
  • This Questionable Content starts off Fan Service-y...and then...
    • Or this strip which lampshades the concept of fan disservice.
  • In this episode of Looking for Group, we get to see under the dress of one of the main characters... It's the rotting undead male warlock.
  • Gnoph has occasional strips where Abbey appears topless. Since Abbey is horribly malnourished, this is very disservice-y. The worst is definitely the first time, when Abbey is downright skeletal and her chest is rotting from the inside due to a bad case of Phlebotinum Breakdown. On later occasions she looks slightly better, but never enough to qualify for actual fanservice.
    • Not to mention later strips with the hideous growth of insectile wings protruding from her back.
  • Sluggy Freelance had a bikini art week that, inbetween scantily-clad beach babe Zoe and hunky Riff, has a picture of sixty-year-old, decrepit, and speedo clad Dr. Schlock.
  • Whenever there is nudity in Flipside, there is about a fifty percent probability it will occur in a not at all erotic context, for example Maytag being stripped and forced into a collar by a magically-enhanced psychopath intending to rape and kill her.
  • Terinu has a lengthy sequence with Gwen dressed in an "Exotic Dancer Barbie" outfit. In the very last panel we're looking behind her and she's standing half-naked in front of two ancient aliens literally twice her size, making her appear twelve years old instead of fifteen (which would be bad enough).
  • The Oglaf webcomics where there's constant sexual situations. The catch is, half the time it's a giant spider giving head, molten hot succubis (literally), etc.
  • Drowtales has several instances of this, and given that there's an entire section of the site dedicated to unironic Fan Service the Fan Disservice stands out.
    • One page featured fan-favorite Naal'suul for part of chapter 13 sans-clothing (though you can't see anything) the disservice comes from her body language and posture due to being imprisoned in a dark cell, and the fact that she's talking about the demon that already Mind Raped her once and will eventually take advantage of her again and kill her.
    • Also, Kharla'ggen. She wears really low cut tops and is seen in a bath here and here, but she is completely insane with a childish personality.
    • And again, normally Diva'ratrika naked would be pretty appealing, given that she's an unaging dark elf woman, but not when she's naked because being trapped in her throne room for a year has made her start losing her mind since she only has one slave for company and has been barely staying alive.
    • And one of the few times we see fully uncovered, uncensored breasts in the main archive is... on a possessed pregnant woman, whose fetus is reaching out of her stomach and is also possessed. EUGH.
    • There's also the beautiful, uncovered body of Sharess, the sexiness of which is mitigated by the fact that she's a corpse.
    • The crowning moment so far has to be Chapter 32, which opens with a love scene between Lulianne and Rek'mar and goes from "sweet" to "OMG WTF" in the space of a page. Thanks a lot, Khaless.
  • In Misfile, there is a shot of a very attractive female character, fully-frontally nude, with only two very, very thin panes breaks hiding her nipples and crotch. The catch? She's in the middle of a major Heroic BSOD because of that same body.
  • Penny Arcade. September 19, 2007. Tycho gives Gabe an unfortunate mental image in retaliation for Gushing about the then-upcoming Mass Effect (and more specifically, the scene that the hubbub was about). Of course, bothering each other with unfortunate mental images is just one of the things they do. And yes, there is a reference to this later for the sequel.
  • In Brat Halla, Baldur has difficulty getting rid of his erection after seeing several goddesses naked. Hel cures him by demonstrating what she looks like below the waist.
  • Bloodsuckers Are Not Sexy gives us the glorious visage of Stephanie Meyer in the nude. Gaze upon her AND DESPAIR!!
  • The VG Cats strip "Kinder Surprise" ends with a scene of Gabe Newell swimming in a pile of money, naked. Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
  • In General Protection Fault, Trudy has a dream of an... intimate encounter with Nick. When all is said and done, she calls out to him as they lie on the bed naked, only for him to suddenly be replaced by Ki, then Fooker, then Nefarious, then Todd, then Chuck, then her future self. Nefarious and her future self are old and quite wrinkled, and Trudy's future self has some horrific expressions on her face.
  • Goblins has Cute Monster Girl Saves leaning into a dome that makes everything within its volume invisible. Dies gets a brief glimpse of heaven as it clips through her shirt... and then he gets a look at her internal anatomy when it clips through her face and torso.
  • In this issue of The Word Weary, John, one of the protagonists is shown nude from the back as he gets changed. While in-universe it's shown that he's not a bad-looking guy, the detail of the hair on his back and buttocks is a but squicky.
