[Link] Out Of Fika [Date] 4/6/00 [Comments] 
Another one of the few, the proud, the 7-day comics, Out Of Fika has only been going since December but I'm quite hooked. Based on the legend of an obscure (and possibly insane) Norse goddess, this comic is filled with "Watchmen"-level mystique, cleverly camouflaged by a playful writing and drawing style. There's superheroes and mad scientists running around, and Fika herself is charmingly short tempered and purple-haired. The artist used to publish giant color comics on tuesdays before the burden became too great; maybe someday it will be able to resume. The storyline has lots of directions it can go, but it's taking it's time doing it so that we have enough opportunities to ponder the surreal and emotive events that unfold. Update 3/5/01 Currently on sabbattical. Out Of Fika dropped off the web completely for about 6 months, and then one day reappeared with a new storyline and no hint of the earlier material. I am happy to report, however, that all known Out of Fika strips recently seem to have been posted to the archive to tide us over during the current hiatus. Read them now before they're taken down again! Update 1/8/02A couple of months ago this address went dead and cannot be reached. Fika's gone again, don't say you weren't warned! RIP.
