[Link] Diesel Sweeties [Date] 12/21/00 [Comments] 
I've kinda cooled on this one since I first discovered it, but the stunning mix of fresh concepts that make up Diesel Sweeties will probably still have the same effect on you as it did on me. This comic was my first exposure to the surprisingly vast world of "pixel" art on the web. Although blown up to a large size, the visual medium here is how much expression can you fit into characters composed of the same number of pixels as the Mario Brothers or Pac-Man. Answer: it's darned respectable. As a PC-age dinosaur, I find that this art form really talks to me. Secondly, the characters are instantly lovable. There's Clango the robot, his girlfriend Maura a jaded ex-porn star, her wonton little sister, their friend "Indy Pete", and a growing phlanx of guest friend appearances who are increasingly dragging the strip down. Lastly, it's got "Diesel" in the title. I recommended this one excitedly to the WTS by e-mail before, but several months later it's still worth a look, and now updated a glorious 5 days a week.
