Bye bye, dark and creepy...
Hello bright and fancy! Yeah, ok so I’ll be toning down the repressive darkness - it’s not really me anyway, i just assumed it made pictures easier to see. As much as I like the background now, it’s a bit… generic - I guess you have to get a paid theme to play with things like that (somewhen I’ll have a portfolio and blog to match, how about that?). Anyhow, bright and fancy lookin’ stuff here, so check out some awesome (sorry Stan, “Ossum”) comics to make you giddy with joy:
Bad Machinery by John Allison* (including Scary Go Round archives)
Commander Kitty by Scotty Arsenault (resurrected!)
Hark! A Vagrant by Kate Beaton*
Gastrophobia! by David McGuire*
Bite Me! by Dylan Meconis* (comic now available to buy in a big sexy bande dessinée)
xkcd by Randall Munroe (because it’s hard to do without a good geeky giggle)
And not with the same kinda comic aplomb, but because they’re labours of love and brilliance that I just can’t get over:
Rice Boy and Order of Tales by Evan Dahm* (the former collected, and the latter’s first chapter now in book form)
Dicebox by Jenn Manley Lee* (first book is nearly finished - this is some truly epic, day-in-the-life style story-telling with real heart - start from the top)
Family Man also by Dylan Meconis* (this is the -mostly- serious universe one of “Bite Me“‘s characters inhabits. First book now on pre-order!)
Gunnerkrigg Court by Tom Siddell (ok yeah there’s still plenty of dark and creepy here right now, but check the archives and you’ll find plenty of merriment… kinda)
And just because I can’t bear to leave her out - the brilliance of Jen Wang* can still be found in such little gems as Touchfood.
