If you were to say to me, “Mike, old buddy, there is a comic out there that combines a strong existential plot with succinct, hilarious writing and amusing illustration.” I would first ask who the heck you were and how you knew me, but then I’d scoff and say, “Yeah, right.” But it is true! I come to you, random reader, to tell you of the delights of Dan Long’s wonderful comic, Edmund Finney’s Quest to Find the Meaning of Life.

webcomic
A few weeks ago, Harvey Pekar died, and one of the more interesting comic writers was lost to us. What he was able to do in telling the story of a man going through an ordinary (if not mundane) life—a man who then goes through the nuts-and-bolts of being diagnosed with cancer—brought to our [...]
Read MoreWhen one of your favorites recommends something, it had better be good. Upon investigating I discovered that The Meek is worthy of high praise and even higher expectations…
Read MoreObviously with so many webcomics living out in the ether, there’s going to be some hits and some misses.
I’m going to firmly place Under the Influence in the “miss” column.
The idea, while perhaps a bit pedestrian, has its merits: Young people are hip. Young people like to drink. Young people like sex. [...]
When I was 16 my friend Jon lent me three albums: Against the Grain by Bad Religion, Punk in Drublic by NoFX, and Give Me Convenience or Give Me Death by the Dead Kennedys. And thus my love of punk rock was born. I would add a number of bands to the above list, eventually expanding my tastes to include new genres and musicians, but my first love would always be punk rock. When I discovered Mitch Clem’s Nothing Nice to Say, I was in heaven.
Read MoreOn the Fourth of July, the spirit of the holiday compelled me to spend as little time indoors as possible. As such, my review of The Dreamer was possibly less-than-comprehensive.
In other words: I didn’t spend any time on it.
But I did promise a more in-depth look, and I try to keep my promises–even [...]
Who says that artsy stuff has to be…well, stuffy? Johnny Wander is a fantastic artsy comic with a everyday-life vibe. Or, if you prefer, a slice-of-life comic with an artsy side. Think of it like drinking soda out of a silver-dusted, crystal glass. Or going to a fancy place and ordering [...]
Read MoreThe birth of a webcomic is a beautiful thing. Like a human baby, the first glimpses of the webcomic are, well a little gross. But after it gets cleaned up it is a sight to behold. Soon you watch it grow and get more complex, and it starts to do things that [...]
Read MoreToday I am going to tell you about a comic that changed the way I thought about comics, narrative, illustration, and storytelling. This is one of the most beautiful comics on the web, created by a truly world-class writer and illustrator. The best part? It is abominable.
The Abominable Charles Christopher is lovingly [...]
Thingpart by Joey Allison Sayers
The old switcheroo. The reversal. The complete one-eighty. Joey Allison Sayers is a master of leading the reader down one path and then yanking the rug out from under them. Her comic, Thingpart, has been updating regularly since 2005 and contains nothing but the best in terms [...]
