#1. About Oglaf
The name might sound like the World War II tank of some kind, but this one is all about pleasure, not war. Trudy Cooper and Doug Bayne are the brains behind award-winning site Oglaf.com which posts funny and often sexually explicit webcomics each Sunday that millions of people come to see.
#2. First Impressions
Don’t hype the look of Oglaf because exploring it feels like crawling through an ancient cave. The redeeming thing is the quality of the comics, so you don’t have to stop reading the review. In other words, there’s a good reason to subscribe to the uploads of Oglaf despite the criticism that I’m about to throw at it. Okay, so this is as bad and simple as designs can get. You might argue that Oglaf doesn’t do creative writing in text form or anything else which requires a decent design, but I'm afraid that's not right. You could have categories, tags, a far better archives system, good pagination, and many other things. If Oglaf had a face, it would be of an old grandmother who smells funny yet always tells mesmerizing stories and keeps you invested. Grannies give you real estate after death, while Oglaf gives cumshots left and right.
There’s also a Patreon link, and as of now, Oglaf generates more than $3,000 per month from fanfare alone. Given the crazy inflation of the 2020s, I don’t think that’s enough, but this speaks volumes about the quality of all the sex comics. That’s not the only income of Oglaf, as you’ll soon find out, but yeah, that’s more than some of the YouTubers make with a million subscribers. Yes, I was comparing Patreon donors to Patreon donors, not YouTube money versus anything else. One such example would be a crazy guy Beast from Los Angeles, who does competitive challenges, and I’m sure you know who he is.
#3. Content & User Experience
If you're expecting hardcore hentai porn with tentacle fucking, mind control, and internal cumshots, this is not the place for you. The comics here are one-pagers with about ten frames and usually a fantasy twist to them with recurring characters, lots of humor, some social commentary, sexual innuendos, and often but not always sexually explicit scenes. The artwork and style are great, and the comics have been praised for covering LGBT themes and including people of color.
The site is well-designed and minimalistic. A few creative and unintrusive ads to the side and sometimes below comics lead you to the store or their Patreon page. You can go back and forth with the next and previous buttons to show comics or go into the archive, where you'll see a long list of thumbs with titles and a "safe" label if a cartoon isn't sexually explicit. Other than that, you can visit the online store, which has lots of cool prints, t-shirts, a collection of Oglaf comics in book form, as well as lots of other merch, books, comics, podcasts, and music from other artists that work under the Topatoco name.
#4. Conclusion
Oglaf.com is a simple, maybe too minimalistic, yet finely designed site that produces quality comics with a fantasy twist. Those are often funny, sometimes sexually explicit, and inclusive regarding LGBT themes. They're great for a quick chuckle, they come out each Sunday, and you can also buy cool merch and various products from their online store. Fortunately, we can't think of any other Oglaf downsides.
