Comics

If you're like me, you like webcomics. A lot. It's an unhealthy obsession, and the last thing you need is more.

With that said, I have some webcomic recommendations to make, hopefully flagging some you may or may not have missed along the way.


Girly Online - Josh Lesnick's sequel to CuteWendy. Largely, I recommend this because of Lesnick's ever-increasing talents, which is a rare find in comickery. It's incredibly vulgar, off the wall, random, stupid, and yet... incredibly charming.

Least I could Do - Ryan Sohmer's writing and Lar DeSouza's art style come together and create one of the funniest and best comics out there today. Though the earlier stuff features some absolutely godawful artwork, it still manages to be hilarious, a fair bit vulgar, nerdy, and has some of the worst advice you could ever take from a man.

XKCD - Nothing more than a regular stick figure comic at first glance, but it doesn't take long at all to realize just how genius this thing is. There aren't a lot of comics that can pull off humor in physics and math.

Questionable Content - Indie music and the people who listen to it. It's a fantastically humorous comic, has a great overarcing story to it, and is just relevant enough to the mainstream for just about anyone to get.

Sinfest - Actually... You probably already have this bookmarked. However, Tatsuya Ishida is a force to be reckoned with. Who else can utilize a vaguely Calvin and Hobbes-esque style, Easternize it oh so subtly, and make it last as long as it has and STILL be a superb comic?

Looking For Group - Another one by LICD forerunners Sohmer and DeSouza, this comic takes a lot from fantasy tales of old, with a particular inspiration from Warcraft. Fantastic characters, solid story, and... well, Richard. You'll see what I mean.

Three Panel Soul - The remains of Mac Hall... And all for the better. While a full story has been ditched, it is instead a rather intriguing investigation on Ian McConville's art style, and furthers a lot of the one-shot humor which Mac Hall is known for. What's particularly great: no two strips look alike. Don't be surprised when the art style changes radically from strip to strip.

Gone with the Blastwave - A visually amazing style, and one of the slowest-updated comics I've ever seen, with the exception of my next comic recommendation. It's incredibly funny, with a bit of a Red vs. Blue style of humor in a post-apocalyptic world.

Lackadaisy - I wouldn't make it a point to post a furry comic, largely because of the stigma they have in pop culture, but... Seriously. This is one of the best drawn comics around, and features a great concept: Take the Roarin' 20's, prohibition-era crime-laden atmosphere in St. Louis and replace people with anthropomorphic cats. You'd be surprised how well this works. Always reminded me of "Cats Don't Dance," a WB animated movie in the late 90's, and that is a VERY good thing.
