It's been a while since I recommended a Modern Tales comic. I try not to do it, since not everybody is going to want to shell out 29 bucks a year. However, this comic alone warrants the cost of a subcription; it's the return of one of the gods of the early webcomic years, Gisele Lagace, creator and artist of the stunning Cool Cat Studio. The writing is the familiar melodrama, probably due to the return of T. Cambell with writing credits, although the plot about two high school girls has a woman's touch all over it. The tag line for the comic is "The prom queen, the class weirdo and the bond between them that neither can explain." It's sort of a "Betty and Veronica" thing, but fortunately the two characters are far from buddies and the characters are far from paper cutouts. They spend as much time in their own separate worlds as when their worlds collide, but of course its those collisions that make all the fun. The material for this setup shows little signs of running out, and the three-panel format hopefully will allow Gisele to keep up the schedule for a long time.
