All kinds to make a Web

• {scene language} Valentines for the Indie Rock Set
  Windows, however valid, into other more youthful worlds. I've been enjoying Webcomics in part because of their apparent candor about that.

• PartiallyClips - Literary Joke (at least, literate)
  (tags: janeausten prideandprejudice)
• AndyRunton.com (Owly)
  We're bringing Owly back to the house for a second engagement. First time, Joe definitely "got" Owly's stories but seemed unimpressed. Maybe he'll like them better this time.

• Penny Arcade! - The Partial Revolution
  Yowza. On the other hand, writing about games is like, to paraphrase, operatically singing about manga.

• 3hive: Eagle*Seagull
  Ah, the breathless 1980s, and the trip hop of the late 1990s, and the mashup mentality of the 2000s. Pop-up, booked.

• Katie Holmes Turns 27 Amongst Other Imprisoned Playthings - Defamer
  I am not reading this. Especially not top to bottom, hand folded over mouth, eyes closing ruefully when finished.

• What was No.1 on the day you were born?
  I know, I know: I need to get a MySpace for such frippery.

Wah wah wah wah waaaaaaah

• Peanuts (1959)
  A rarity! Words from an adult!

Checking In

• The Kenmore | January 12, 2006 | Ia! Ia! Ia!
  OK, now we're talking. Looking sharp -- simple, bizarre story line that I can grasp in my twisted slag heap of a brain.

Funny

• C.E.O. Pit Stop on Comics Sherpa
  Nascent. Good lines. Nice way of finessing the drawing thing.

• Pearls Before Swine - self-cleaning oven
  Recursive humor makes me laugh but fear the shark approaches as a hurdle.

Mostly funnies

• Questionable Content: OCD Girl
  Snappy, snappy dialogue. My parents used to call it the kind of movie where people say what you wish you could be quick enough to say.

• But I Am Made of Poison!
  Wigu will go monthly. This is like finding out that Zippy the Pinhead will go Flash. It might be good, but it really might stink. Will there be ads for X-Ray Spectacles? You KNOW there will.

• Extratasty Get Your Booze On!
  Post responsibly. Don't drink and click.
  (tags: extratasty drinks cocktails)
• cityofsound: New Musical Experiences
  Someday I will read this, and be self-actualized.

Daily funny

• Mermbut Comics
  oh VERY NICE.

Dailies, funny and otherwise

• Catburglar's Daughter
  Oh, Lord yes. Let us step away from the blockbuster mentality. Let us even step away from stepping away. Let us just say: Some comics are very good. Aren't we lucky they are?

• Matt McAlster :: My Dotcom Prediction Generator
  I am so not showing you mine, whether or not you show me yours.

Dailies

• The Secret Friend Society » Jellaby
  They did the Manga. (They did the Monster Manga.) Nice work from Kean Soo here.
  (tags: comics webcomic webcomics)
• The Kenmore - still
  Good Lord this comic is a challenge. Somewhere I am missing, like, 30% of the story. If it were poetry I would say Ezra Pound got ahold of the draft and just shredded it.

• 1968-1974 Alcoholics Anonymous comic strips
  This ain't no reefer madness. If this disease has touched your life, these strips will seem stilted and alien - but more real than you might think.
  (tags: aa alcoholism sequentialart comics)

Mmmm. Cookie.

• MSN Search: chocolate crinkles
  'tis the season. I republished mine (a bit down) a few weeks ago and MSN users hit it four times in the last 24 hours. EAT. EAT. What's the matter with you, you don't like chocolate?

• Toothpaste For Dinner -- a Cautionary Tale
  If only someone had taken me aside and shown me such love.
  (tags: spiderman punkcomics comics)
• PartiallyClips - Soft drink humor
  My mother wept when they changed the flavor of Coke. Really -- she wept. I hoarded a case. We still buy it in small bottles when she comes. And kosher when we can!
