[Link] Living In Greytown [Date] 1/4/01 [Comments] 
Living In Greytown embodies everything that is great about what quaintly used to be called "underground comics". It's an explosion of surreal and slightly disturbing characters, art, and stories made sense of by reading the character bios or just reading the entire archive from the start (the latter strongly recommended). There's only one premise here. Greytown is a town from which there is no escape, thanks to a particular devil, "Phil". Phil is too unimaginative to actually torture the people and talking animals who are unlucky enough to enter or inhabit Greytown; fortunately they are all too willing to do that themselves. All the characters are terrifically cute, which makes the drama of their wretched lives all that much more heartbreaking. In the story, Phil recently faced down a much more evil demon for control of the town, so it's hard to say where this story will go, but I check it every day in total anticipation that it will be great. Also, be sure to check out the author's other project, Otaku Feh!. If you find Living In Greytown to be too burdened with plot, Otaku Feh is just what's on the artist's mind this week. It recently ran a thorough a hilarious parody of Sinfest which ended in controversy, so you'd better check it out before it vanishes for some reason. Update 3/1/02LiG ended magnificantly recently. I was sad, until Dave started up Lizard
