[Link] Bruno [Date] 9/9/99 [Comments]
Bruno is one of the oldest Web strips I am aware of, and one which has had a surprisingly strong effect on my life, because of the strength of its writing. It's format is a little strange, a single panel in the apect ratio of the "3-panel" strip, with lots of dialogue, but I've gotten used to it. It unfolds in near-real time, and the story of a life it tells is alternately mundane and transcendent, much like our own. After you read a few, start at the beginning of the archive, and read it *as slowly as possible* to savor the experience.

One of my very favorites on the Web, this one seems to be published more or less weekly in various alternative papers, apparently in Canada. Steve Notley (or "snotley") has a complete archive on-line which allows you to follow the changes in his artistic style; personally, I prefer the earlier version of Bob over the current, more polished look. But the best part of Bob's pages is the "Annotations" section, in which Steve describes a little bit about the history behind each comic, things he liked or disliked artisticly, etc. This is the kind of fascinating insider information I love to get on my favorite artists!

This Web-only daily is light fare, but I've found it utterly addictive. A not-extrordinary self-referential collection of "ordinary" guys who go on adventures, their foils and love interests, talking animals with switchblades, vampires, and aliens, this strip is distinguished by subtle brilliance in both its art and writing. Not over-done, the expressiveness of the drawing never fails to amaze me. As an example, the main female character of Zoe is not drawn as any kind of "bombshell", and is rather ordinary in fact, but she nonetheless has an everyday beauty of the kind you could fall in love with very easily. The storylines alternate between original adventures that serve well to develop the characters, and outright parodies of T.V. shows and movies which are generally pretty good. As an X-files fan, I totally loved the appearance of Dana and Fox in "The Slug Files"! Lastly, this comic is a must read for any fans of ferrets, as the character of "Kiki" is utterly perfect.

[Link] Bobbins [Date] 9/30/99 [Comments]
Even though the others got earlier billing, this is the one I currently check first every day. It's sort of a charmingly drawn "friends" type of story, and a daily in *color*. This comic is not so much a joke a day, but a continuing unfolding story of a happy group of characters I've come to like a lot. Even so, it's a little odd; it took me quite a while to realize that the story and author are in England. To me, it looks like it could be a feature of some british fashion magazine (although the characters seem to have recently fallen into the habit of wearing the same clothes every day). However, the author John Allison is apparently trying for newspaper syndication. Update 7/15/02Bobbins was officially ended a couple of months ago. After a short sabatical, the author decided he wanted to just start up a new comic, which turned out to be Scary-Go-Round, which is turning out fine in it's own right.

[Link] Waiting For Bob [Date] 10/7/99 [Comments]
Written by Doug Sheppard and drawn by Katrin Salyers, this comic has only a handful of characters. But they're surprisingly real and believable characters. I'd have to say that I know people like these, which is what makes it interesting to me. The comic is daily, in black and white, and the author takes great pride in the fact that the daily page downloads fast. Another aspect of the real-ness of the characters is the art. I am particularly impressed by the character of "Bernie"; Bernie is really hard to draw, I would think. She is not the usual skinny body type, and yet is drawn very attractively. Update 6/25/01Currently inactive due to a burnout-induced sabattical. Read the archive.

Yeah, I know you're saying "We get this one in the City Paper all the time! It's not a Web Comic!" True, but Max Cannon's site has a truly amazing feature: an archive that goes waaaaay back. By this point there are so many titles on his index page that it's several screens long. You could kill, maybe, an 8-hour work day just reading the archive, laughing your head off, and getting your mind thoroughly twisted in the process. Best use of xerox art since "The Angriest Dog In The World".

This net-only comic is in black and white, and has the audacity to be published only on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. It is science-fictionish, and contains among its unapologetically complex concepts a "Bowman's Wolf" as one of it's three main characters. The strip is really clearly drawn, but the story moves quite glacially, taking the time to fully explore every situation on the way to what I hope is a well-planned story arc (it's been published for about two years now). Despite its sparse schedule, I find I check it eagerly when it's there, and the archive goes all the way back for several hours of entertainment. His links page is very complete, and frankly the source of many of my recent comics finds (so be careful reading it if you don't want to spoil your appetite for the Cool Comic of the Week).

[Link] Cynicalman Not Available Comics [Date] 10/28/99 [Comments]
News Flash! Cynicalman is on the Web! While this is not exactly a Web Comic in that it isn't on the web for purposes of publication but rather as advertisement to get you to buy the products, I was so happy to learn (thanks Diane!) that it existed anywhere on the Web that it became this week's link. I first discovered Cynicalman in a discarded indie comics-only paper of the type that proliferated when I was in college. From that chance encounter, a whole unexpected world of underground comics opened up for me, the effect was sweeping and realligning. Cynicalman himself seems a part of the definition of his times; the small-shop punk attitude of the "franchise", the stories and style are inseparable from the 80's for me. On this topic, Matt's latest comic is as hilarious as ever, in which CM declares "Hey, Man, I remember the 80's! I was there!" The comics at the link given are all-new, and tailor-made for this media; Matt Feazell has several well thought-out innovations on his pages, and describes in great detail his method of preparing the comics for HTML. After consuming everything Matt's own site has to offer, you might follow his suggestion and read the hilarious Cute Girl comics at the old Not Available Comics site. You might then begin performing web searches for any other CM stuff out there. So far I've come up with: Kaplan's Rathskeller Cynicalman The Amazing Cynicalman Has A Cow Update 1/25/01Sorry about not getting to this sooner, but the big news is that Cyncialman has a great new home on the web, with a new reprint of a classic "Not Available Comic" every week! The archive is very long so you can catch up, and it's interesting to see the variety of dates these comics were reprinted from. I'm adding "Not Available Comics" to the original "Cyncialman" link to the left; check them both out.

[Link] The Lemmings of Norstrilia [Date] 11/4/99 [Comments]
This comic is being (re)published by our very own Andrew Plotkin (Zarf)! I haven't seen much references to it except for an e-mail forwarded to me by Andy Looney, so I'm mentioning it here. According to his index page for the series, it's a web posting of some comics he did for print media in '92, and is a series of only 15 strips. Right now he's at number 9, I've read the first ones with great mirth and now eagerly await each week's. Maybe he'll do some new ones?

[Link] Robotman [Date] 11/11/99 [Comments]
Robotman will be the first of my many suggestions for comics which are published in daily newspapers (syndicated), but which are nontheless also available on the Web. I used to strongly dislike this comic based on its non-technical representation of the robot, but have since gotten over it. This comic seems at first to be the usual idiotic syndication formula, but further reading has revealed that the author's sense of humor is really kind of screwy. Sadly, this comic's web site archives only a month of comics (the usual procedure for syndicated comics that appear on the web), but hey, you could always buy the books for more.

[Link] The Boondocks [Date] 11/18/99 [Comments]
This syndicated comic is one I've been dying to suggest for weeks. The main reason I have to point it out to those who may have missed it in the daily paper is that it's so funny! The main characters of this strip are black, and the author, Aaron McGruder, has no fear of finding humor in everyday situations that most white people are afraid even to admit to. I'm amazed that it's syndicated, much less in the Washington Post, and the sad thing is that the mere sight of this comic's characters seems to make a lot of people angry. If none of this bothers you, you'll find a comic with hilarious, often old-timey jokes, and characters so well explored that, you'll laugh out loud practically every day. The character descriptions provided by the author provide a lot of the clues to what's going on. For example, one of the main characters, Huey, is a young righteous "intellectual". He may seem at first like a mouthpiece for the cartoonist, but read a few comics and you'll notice that he's still as naive as his age, and his moody, cynical attitude is as likely to backfire up on him as to be right. Riley, his younger brother, is always trying to cop an attitude, often the funniest part of the strip. I loved the sequence where he repaints all the streetsigns! The interaction between Huey and Riley is surprisingly believable, sometimes touching. The grandfather is just that, often unfoolable by the kids but just as often pathetically unable to remember where he put his hat. Without belaboring the point, Aaron shows multiple sides of any character or situation, while all the time keeping the humor the focus of the comic. UExpress keeps a generous four months of archive on hand for The Boondocks; go right to it and read the earliest comic so that you don't miss any more than you have to! Aaron's own web site, once beautiful and for a while the home of this comic before it was syndicated, seems to be having HTML problems (I don't know why it always crashes my IE) as Aaron's production crew becomes busier with deadlines, interviews, and film deals, but is nonetheless the source for the latest news about the comic when accessable. Update 1/25/01Boondocks.net seems fine now; athough there's no comics there the weekly dirt on what Aaron's doing and the depressingly funny hate-mail reprints are worth checking out.

[Link] Haul Trek [Date] 11/25/99 [Comments]
Now for something light... This color comic is updated very intermittantly, but I still check it often. It is creatively produced entirely with computer tools, a little rough around the edges but still extremely attractive. A "Star Trek" universe story, its main character is a "furry" named M'Iskiti, and the ship has a variety of wackily named officers. M'Iskiti is a feline humanoid, and perhaps my favorite female cartoon character on the Web :). Currently the comic seems to be on hiatus till January, but the archive is still there for your enjoyment, and check out "Haul Trek"'s contribution to the big Halloween crossover of 1999, an incredible number of panels containing not only plenty of the regular characters, but also renditions of dozens of characters from other comics! Update 3/5/01The hiatus seems permanent; enjoy the archive for now. Update 6/25/01Haul Trek is back! Or at least reborn... The authors have decided to rewrite the comic out of the Trek universe and make it a stand-alone story in order to increase their marketing rights. They're redoing each of the old comics with hopefully new ones to come. It's as beautifully rendered as ever, but I kind of liked M'Iskiti (now Mzzkiti) as a readhead! Update 1/5/02Trajedy has struck Frieghter Tails. One of the authors unexpectedly died last year, so this comic may be on hold from now on.

[Link] The Dark Hotel [Date] 12/2/99 [Comments]
Now for something really dark... I'm not sure what the update rate for this one is, but it doesn't matter because the archive is so gigantic that it's still unexhausted for me. "The Dark Hotel" is in color, and is basically a graphic novel. It consists of several distinct stories by various authors. The stories are broken into chapters related to how they were posted, so the organization of the index is not at first clear. Other than that, the site seems really well designed, with lots of nooks and corners for your exploring pleasure. When you read this comic, you will be plunged into a menacing, compelling world, each story the tale of a different resident of the hotel, ruined lives awash in obsession, crime, sex, and drugs. Reading the first story, The Manchurian Experiment will either intrige you or repulse you. In true nior fashion, it starts off: "There's a story. Sternelli, Room 37...."

[Link] Story Minute by Carol Lay [Date] 12/9/99 [Comments]
This comic is my other favorite comic from the Salon Comics offerings, all of which are good and some of which are in greater syndication. Story Minute is a complete and compelling new short short story every week; if it wasn't for the 55 word limit these would be ideal nanofictions. The thing that sets this comic apart is the fascinatingly good writing on the stories; each one is amazing. However, the addition of the stylish artwork helps a lot, if nothing else to set a clever and cynical mood. Story Minute's archives are a little disjointed; the above link is for the most recent, the 1999 and previous archives can be found here.

[Link] Never Never [Date] 12/16/99 [Comments]
Never Never is a comic strip about faeries! I love it because the fairies are always attempting grand conquests of the world, and failing simply because nobody sees them, except for the one human character, a boy named Arthur. Although it doesn't have the polished visual style some people expect in comics these days, I think the cartoonist, John "The Gneech" Robey, has done a great job with the art and the concept. Inspired by Calvin and Hobbes, it never tumbles into the schmaltz that plagued that comic, but is nonetheless full of charm (for example, the feline-mounted fairy calvary). Sadly, in a story that seems to be repeating itself all over the Web, the author is getting pulled away by other projects (not the least of which is Suburban Jungle, The Gneech's other comic and probably the one he likes better -- *sniff!*), so read it while you can, and bookmark it for occasional updates. Update 3/5/01No updates since last year? This one is unlikely to ever be updated again, but the archive's still there Update 1/6/02Never Never is back! Yay! He started updating again a couple of months ago and has a new URL, the link here has now been updated. The story continues where it left off. Update 4/5/02D'oh! Dead again!

[Link] Bruno The Bandit [Date] 12/23/99 [Comments]
Oh Great, a comic about a medieval adventurer, with his comic companion a "microdragon". It sounded boring as hell when I first found it, but it turns out to be one of my favorite comics. The art on this one is accomplished, but what makes it for me is the writing. The story is set in a humorously anachronistic D&D/modern world which is played well for laughs without getting too silly (usually), and the main character is a delightfully amoral anti-hero. Although there is generally a punch-line in every comic, this one is best read in whole arcs at a time. Get thee to the archive (which is conveniently navigable) and just pick a story title and read it all the way through. Strongly recommended: "The Forbidden Game" story.

[Link] Mutts [Date] 12/30/99 [Comments]
Another syndicated comic, this one impressed me from the first day that I saw it in the newspapers. What a joy to find it on the Web. However, it was nearly a year after I first began reading it on the Web before I found it offered by its syndicate; I think they just didn't get on board for a long while. Fortunately, for me at least, "Mutts" seems to be the most pirated comic on the Web. It tends to generate the most dedicated and loving level of fans (and consequently, equally strong anti-fans), and for years there were folks out there who'd scan this thing in from the newspaper every day just to bring it to the world. Most of those sites have retired now that it's officially available, but the best is still hanging around and building up a giant archive of strips. After checking out the official site, bookmark MUTTS ONLINE, and on days when you feel overstressed or depressed, you can read a month's worth at a time to help put you back in a "Mutts" mood. There's also a ton of excellent fan sites out there; just begin following the links pages on each site. Start with MUTTS ONLINE or this other one which is also pretty comprehensive.

[Link] Dr Fun [Date] 1/6/00 [Comments]
Eeyore passes us this week's Webcomic link. "Dr Fun" is a near-daily single-panel format comic produced in color using a mix of computer tools, and has been going, on and off, since 1993! The sense of humor is a little whacked; some are brilliant, others a puzzlement. Nonetheless, there's endless amusement in the complete and easy-to-use archive.

[Link] Sabrina Online [Date] 1/13/00 [Comments]
This well drawn "furry" strip is produced at a really slow rate. It makes my list of comics I check the moment they're updated (in this case, monthly) on account of its nerdly computer humor. I don't even have a lot of experience with the background of this comic (connecting an Amiga to the Internet) and it makes me laugh anyway. Along the way, though, a good and likable set of characters has been developed, with lots of relationship stuff for you touchy-feely folks out there. Read the whole story from the start at The Unofficial Eric Schwartz Page's Sabrina Online Archive

[Link] Too Much Coffee Man [Date] 1/20/00 [Comments]
Too Much Coffee Man is a classic who's been around in one form or another for years. His web pages are continuously changing; sometimes there are plenty of comics for us to read, sometimes there's old stuff for a very long time, sometimes there's nothing and we're forced to search the web for pirate web sites. Currently, however, he seems to have a huge archive and is well organized. A pillar of hip cynicism, TMCM teaches us life's big lessons while making us wish our lives were as simple as having a big steaming cup on our heads and being cleverly drawn. Buy the books, too.

The computer gaming lifestyle shared by the main characters of this comic (and its authors) is not mine. However, I still find this comic to be hilarious; it is one of the ones I check every day it is updated. The passion for their subject gives the authors an excellent sense of comedic timing, and the art is particularly attractive. This comic, which I've only recently discovered, has been going for quite a while, and has a healthy archive. It also has a side comic, The Bench, which readers are encouraged to generate their own strips of.

[Link] Unlike Minerva [Date] 2/3/00 [Comments]
I haven't been able to decide if the gimmic behind this comic is for everyone. Even though I find it difficult to read sometimes, I really like it a lot, and have gotten endless hours of fun following all the links from this comic. The idea has been stated as "one comic, many artists." A creative writer, firm in his belief that he has insufficient artistic talent, has gotten a whole slew of friends to take turns drawing his strip for him. The story line is a strange combination of "Waiting For Godot" and "The Muppet Show", a fully thought out "furry" universe in which five characters inhabit the vaudeville "Minerva Theater". This solid framework has attracted a wide variety of guest artists, who switch in on a weekly to daily basis. This jumpiness can make it a little hard to follow at times. However, I enjoy seeing how each artist interprets the characters. It is also fun to follow the links to the artists' pages and learn more about them, from the astonishing Rina Cat to the charming Naraxa. Speaking of which, I have to applaud the webmaster of this site; there are daily and weekly pages available through the archives, and each one has thumbnails for the current artist's rendition of the five main characters.

[Link] When I Grow Up [Date] 2/10/00 [Comments]
This comic is a new favorite of mine. I was originally scared away by the title, which sounded boring as hell. However, I discovered that it's really an adult character-driven comic, and the cartoonist doesn't waste a lot of time milking or tidying up a situation so the jokes are fast and loose. I like the characters in this one a lot. They have a certain ordinary banality, despite some sillier background details, which makes their reactions to various comedic situations hilariously natural. The main character, Zoe Day, is a news anchor for a UHF station. She's eternally pissed off and refreshingly free swearing. I'm not sure how "When I grow Up" relates to the story except that WIGU is the call letters of Zoe's station; the "cast" page which shows the cast both in the present and (chillingly) at 13 years old offers perhaps another clue. The bottom of most of the pages contains a disclaimer reading: "New comic presented Monday - Saturday, unless anything bad happens or I give up hope." Update 2/1/02After many attempts by the author to end the comic, it looks like it's finally over. He ended it on an upbeat note this time and switched to a new comic which is turning out pretty cool. The archive is still there, but I'm still going to miss Zoe, and of course Neal, who almost had his own comic.

[Link] The Parking Lot Is Full [Date] 2/17/00 [Comments]
Today's comic is courtesy of Diane Donaldson. "The Parking Lot Is Full" is frequently recommended on links pages along with a content warning of some kind. This single panel format comic aims to be disturbing, and when it succeeds it's amazing and unique. Sometimes it's merely sick, sometimes kind of stupid. Fortunately, it is much better drawn than the average Far Side knockoff. It's published at random intervals (about once a week), and has been going, amazingly, since 1995. The archive is fully thumbnailed and easy to use, and the web page has lots of toys on it, like the "random" button to complement the usual "archive" feature. As Diane says, "Usually odd, sometimes hilarious."

[Link] You Damn Kid [Date] 2/24/00 [Comments]
Black and White, 4-panel comic in a single panel space, published on average three times a week. This comic featuring its author as a young kid is surprisingly funny considering the bulk of the stories are believably from his own tragic youth. I really like the way the kid is drawn, too. My current favorites out of the archives are: "Luigi's Pizzaria" and "Dewey, Fleecem and Howe" (the latter being on the subject of catholic school which is an endless source of comics no matter how you do it). The other two cool things about this site are: He's done his own banner adds, which he serves randomly on his own pages and which are all pretty clever, and the fact that he'll sometimes re-do a comic between when he first puts it up and when it goes into the archive, so it's intersting to check back often. In conclusion, I was drawn to this site by the following apt description of the comic from Freefall's links page: "There are a lot of things about being a kid that no one talks about. Except this guy." Update 6/5/03 Still Going. Every week there's a new plan for updates, but hey, whatever gets the comics on the net, I say.

[Link] Road Waffles [Date] 3/2/00 [Comments]
Another new favorite of mine, thank goodness it's published seven days a week. This comic requires you pretty much to start at the beginning of the archive to get what's happening, if the weekly gun battles and characters getting killed isn't enough simply to keep you amused. The comic starts with a convenience store robbery, a stolen car, and gets crazy from there. I found the following quotes (from his own web site, admittedly) enough to get me interested, and very accurate in retrospect: "If Quentin Tarantino made a daily webcomic, this is what it would look like." - Josh Phillips, Avalon "Kind of like Natural Born Killers meets Pee-Wee's Big Adventure..." Aaron Holm, Joe Average Eight, the shadowy presence behind this nihilistic work, is a webpublishing powerhouse of comics; his "old comics" link to his old web site of discontinued work (one of which will be next week's comic of the week) will keep you amazed and reading for days. Update 4/19/01Road Waffles is over! No, it's back! No, it's over! Watch as Eight tries to free himself from the shackles of his own fame. He's so bored with this comic and thinks that it's getting crappy (it's not), but every time he tries to end the story line his fans protest until we get a few more installments. We may as well be happy with what he's done on this so far; at only 20 years old, I'm pretty sure Road Waffles isn't the last we're going to hear out of Eight. Update 8/7/03Back again due to Eight's extreme boredom with his previous project. New characters, good setup, mayhem and death ensue immediately. Reading an Eight comic is very suspenseful, as every strip could easily be the last one. Send him some money already!

[Link] Max Panic [Date] 3/9/00 [Comments]
Max Panic is an earlier comic by Eight, and gets a recommendation of its own even though its original series is over. It is one of the first ones I've come across published on the web in "book" form, i.e. drawn and scanned in 8x10 pages with a front cover and back page. It turns out that there's a whole world of this format on the web, and later you'll see some recommendations for some of the ones I've found since. The succinct tag line for Max Panic is "The cure to boredom is to watch someone else suffering from boredom." It's essentially a (possibly autobiographical) story of a bunch of bored kids, watching TV or wandering around and blowing stuff up. Eventually they get ahold of a car and the fun really picks up. Look for the mushroom cloud in every issue! Watch as the comic slowly metamorphasises into "Road Waffles"! Thrill to every "Cammy London" story! He's doing new Max Panic now when he has time, but as those of you who have already scoured Eight's sites can attest, his style has matured impressively in the past few years. I think the fun and simplicity of the original Max Panic make it worth the several days it will take to read the entire archive.
