And I finally remembered where the quote from the previous one is from.
The quote "I saw a star fall. That star was me" is actually not from a webcomic like I thought originally, but a book I read in high school. Can't remember the name of the book, but it was set in the industrial era of America.
Anyways, on to the new one. It's actually a set of a few different ones. One's a sonic comic, and I remember several distinct episodes. There was one that sonic was trying to catch a pikachu while he was in space, but the pokeball didn't work. Then there was a christmas special where robotnic was santa. The beginning might have had jokes about sonic falling off a cliff. Though that might have been another webcomic entirely.
The other one I remember from the site was a mega-man x based comic. I don't remember much of the actual story, but there's a line that sticks out in my memory like a sore thumb. zero says "I thirst for the blood of the ancients".

Was this from a book that you were assigned, or was this pleasure reading? Also, it was set in the industrial age, but do you remember when it was written? I have a feeling that I'm going to headwall after we figure out which one this is.
Can't help with the Sonic/Mega Man ones, sorry.
After a bit of searching, I believe I came up with what the book's name is. Falling angels. I think it was actually set in Europe, based on the description in the old sylabus (so yeah, it was an assigned reading. A good one, though).
And I still have no clue where to find those webcomics I mentioned.
Huh. Never read it. Here's the actual quote:
"I saw a star fall It was me"
Were the comics sprite-based?
i got's Me a kabob?

i have a distinct feeling this was used before, in something not related to sprites, fey, or soft drinks at all. Its like if you saw megaman holding a blaster and saying "this is my boomstick", it certainty wasn't said there first.

So do I, but I can't find anything in either Google Books or Amazon full text search. Not helping matters is the fact that ``I saw a star fall'' is from the King James (and also the Douay-Rheims) translation of Revelation 9:1.
The Epic of Gilgamesh has a bit where Gilgamesh sees a star fall, and that star is his equal (wife).
There appears to have been a Christmas Special of the TV show Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog where Robotnik was Santa, so there might be multiple webcomics referencing Robotnik Claus.
