[Link] Modern Living [Date] 8/10/00 [Comments] 
You might debate whether this qualifies as a web comic. But it was recommended to me as such and has some of the characteristics of my other picks, specifically regular updates, an archive, and a visual drawing style. Rather than a collection of static panels, however, Modern Living is an interactive flash animation, a medium found only on the Internet. You advance the "story" of the animation by interacting with it, either by clicking on certain parts or merely through mouse-overs. There's an audio component as well; he's done some really neat things with looped music -- I recommend examples number 67 and number 63 in particular. The character of this comic is a self portrait of the author himself, and is said to be an autobiography in progress. As such, it is occasionally depressing and self-loathing, but it is also occasionally tender.
