[Link] Modern Tales: Odd Jobs [Date] 12/14/00 [Comments] 
Totally the coolest thing on the web right now. A "private detective" story in formation, this stylishly drawn black-and-white twice weekly comic is the noir adventures of David DiAngelo, making a living taking odd jobs where the cutting edge of personal technology meets the dark underside of middle America. Only a couple of months old, it's first story line has already knocked my socks off, with so many twists, turns and tensions, drawn out with savory anticipation, that checking this comic is the first thing I do each tuesday and thursday. This comic is often compared to the best episodes of "Twin Peaks", a fair if unimaginative comparision, so I'm sure you'll like it. Update 5/25/02Odd Jobs has joined the mostly stellar webcomic collective Modern Tales, one of a few webcomic pay sites that is springing up in an effort to find monentary support for the bandwidth costs that web comics incur. Odd Jobs is generous enough to maintain the three most recent comics at the old site for free, but to see the archives you must be a member of the collective. Now, it doesn't cost much, and you get all the other comics on the site to go with it, as I understand, so why not bite the bullet and join? Update 7/17/03 Finally changed the Modern Tales link to the new story. Sorry for the delay. Update 1/21/04 The author has moved entiredly to Modern Tales so I removed the old link.
