The funny pages

February 23rd, 2011

I read a handful of online comics regularly (and by “regularly” I mean “I read them the day they go up, thank you RSS feed”). My tastes are odd and eclectic, but I share with you anyway:

Hark, A Vagrant – Pop culture! History, sometimes Canadian! Fat ponies!

Meen Comics – Proof that truth is stranger than fiction, from a friend drawing under a pseudonym, which is how I know it’s true.

Oglaf - Gorgeously drawn and deliciously filthy. D&D meets NSFW. Start at the beginning, and don’t say I didn’t warn you.

xkcd- Does anyone not know about XKCD by now? So smart that sometimes I don’t get the jokes. So spot-on that you won’t care that it’s stick figures.

What are your favorite online comics? I already know about Achewood and Cat & Girl; tell me more.

    I love The New Adventures of Queen Victoria

    and Wondermark

    and of course I love to read old Bloom County cartoons

    (It’s loads of fun to remember where I was when I first read the best of them…and to realize how many of the punch lines and sayings embedded in my brain came from Breathed’s.)
