Links to other great webcomics:
Better Days by Jay Naylor
With humble beginnings of a comedy comic, and Jay's history of big guns and busty women, I honestly would never have expected something as real and as endearing as Better Days. The characters are not simply reading a script and acting with a plot, but you believe in them.. as real as anyone you might meet on the street. Thusly, the stories are difficult or impossible to predict, not taking the paths so many stories may have before it. On top of that, the artwork is very clean with excellent line work.
Deo by Grimal
Grimal's Deo is a beautiful thing indeed. The circular story telling coupled with the fanciful free-sketch art style it embraces are just two of the reasons to read it.. but then you wouldn't hear about the boldly colorful characters inhabiting a metropolis, dealing with lonliness and frustration, but warm enough not to be dreadful or pessimistic. It almost seems as if there is a beauty in the misery.
Jack by David Hopkins
David Hopkins is a master of creating very loveable characters in a mere few comics... You love them, cherish them, and wish you could hang out with them on a Friday night. Cute furry guys and gals, all with deep personalities and interesting stories. Then he goes and kills the fuck out of them. Or rather, they meet with an endless supply of horrible twists of fate that land them in death's arms. Did you know death is a big, yellow-eyed green bunny? There's a larger story at work, in the background, but the focus is often on those adorable creatures he works up. "What kind of God are you?", indeed.
Ozy and Millie by David Simpson
Countless people before me have compared Ozy and Millie to Calvin and Hobbes, including it's creator, David Simpson. I see the parallels, but I never really saw the direct comparison that everyone else does. I think it's an interesting and fairly unique daily humor strip, and among the few that deserve national syndication, or at least a better book deal. Still, I enjoy it for what it is, and hope he continues making it for a long, long time.
Wapsi Square by Paul Taylor
Wapsi Square (which I keep saying "Waspi" by mistake.. Grrr) tells the story of a handful of friends with an assortment of uncommon careers and problems, all living in the cold, cold reaches of the northern midwest. Unusual problems? How about being plagued by the Aztec god of Alcohol? Hrm, actually, that doesn't sound so bad...
Something Positive by R.K. Milholland
If you're not bitter, jaded, or somehow otherwise hateful of modern society, this will likely not appeal to you.. or, it just might turn you around. It's a good set of laughs for those of us who already hate the world. So, drink up.. your beer's getting warm.
Tales of the Questor by Ralph E. Hayes, Jr.
The race of the Raconan needs a hero, whether they want to admit it or not. What better candidate than a diminutive raccoon with big dreams and a sword he can't control?
I Drew This by David Simpson
For those of us of the liberal persuasion, we just kid of nod along in agreement or have a healthy chuckle. For the rest of you.. pay attention. This is how we really feel... some of us just might not say it aloud.
Suicide for Hire by Rafael Medina
I wasn't sure what to think of this comic at first, and while there isn't much in the way of archives yet, I think the writer has some fantastic dialog stuffed up his sleeve. I'm anxious to see what happens in future strips, as everything thus far has been hilarious.
Sabrina Online by Eric W. Scwartz
Eric Scwartz's artwork is superb, delivering a cartoony style we can really sink our teeth into. Some of the jokes are hokey, but the romantic side is rich enough to keep us coming back for more.
Bohemials / Albion Fuzz by James Roberts (no longer updated)
Of course, the comic I have once labeled as my favorite is now among the halls of history, mothballed some time ago. The actual site that hosted it is long gone, but thankfully a fellow fan posted the entire archives, so that future generations may enjoy the bliss that was. You can enjoy reading about Sybil, and her journey from being a homeless and naive child of literate but clueless parents, living in the streets of London, plagued by fleas and other disasters... then eventually finding her salvation.
Yonder! by Wes Hargis (no longer updated)
Another comic that has recently ended, or so it seems. Wes Hargis has been supplying the greater Tuscon area with his artwork for years, but only in the last few years has the internet allowed his work to be seen worldwide. The jokes are universal enough to be appreciated, even if the Tuscon focus is still evident. Not much is funnier than a coyote tripping from a diet cola high, guys. Navigating the archive is tricky, since you can only go back, not forwards, but it's worth the effort.
