[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!
