miscellany: "So why the hell do you still read comics?"

"For hope."

(And no, not those ancient Golden Age ones, nor the "Shogun Warriors" ones from the twenty for a dollar bin.)

There are a few fun web comics to check out below-- spent most of last week reading through various archives.

Questionable Content reminds me of a certain N.O., who will otherwise remain nameless, because he kicked this kid in the nuts really hard for saying "indie rock" one too many times. (Well, maybe not just for saying "indie rock", but having never met the victim, I can't guess accurately at any character quirks that might have instigated such a vicious attack.) Note that getting kicked in the groin has nothing to do with Questionable Content.

ScaryGoRound is lots and lots of fun. There's zombie raising, time travel, tiny vampires, killer robots, and a few trips to the afterlife. Oh, and ninjas and spies and evil inventors on an island, and cults, too!

The Adventures of Dr. McNinja. "What would Batman do?" and "In the chill of winter, the shamrocks in the grass had become frozen. And sharp. And deadly." It's a blend of some of the very worst comic book conventions ever!
