Default OT - comics

(Time for dogscoff's regular but random Friday afternoon off topic ramblings=-)

I'm a big fan of Online comics and I wantd to say thanks to Suicide Junki for his links to 8bit thatre and Schlock - brilliant stuff.

Personally I follow www.supermegatopia.com (slightly kinky, but funny) www.kevinandkell.com
Freefall (can't rememebr the URL - d'oh!)

oh, and as far as dead-tree media gos, take a peek at www.transmetropolitan.com - one of the best comics in print. Spider Jerusalem really is very very cool=-)


I'v just realised that Suicide_Junkie shares his initials with Spider Jerusalm. Ooooh....

Check out http://giaever.com/op/transmet/main.htm for the kind of thing that Spider says.

I used to read a lot of Online comics, but I found I was spending far too much time waiting for my slow modem to download the images, so I cut way back. The only one I still read daily is Sluggy Freelance:

www.sluggy.com

The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the
human mind to correlate all of its contents. We live on a placid
island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was
not meant that we should go far. -- HP Lovecraft, "The Call of Cthulhu"

www.cartoozine.com is quite good, it hosts a lot of cartoons, comics and flash animations, some of the work is great, other stuff sucks...

I also draw cartoons, but I don't have a homepage, and besides they're all in Dutch, so posting them wouldn't be too usefull...

Try www.userfriendly.org; good Microsloth bashing & a recent storyline about building missile silos and robomechs out of Legos...
