Oodles of comics...

Ah, the sweet bliss of online comics.

Growing up, my parents got the daily newspaper from Louisville - across the river from the old home town, and I would dutifully read the comics, the sports, and some of the front page pretty much every day. If I didn't, I'd never know just how Funky Winkerbean was going to outwit the band director, how the Wizard of Id was going to make the king happy, or how BC was going to smack me in the face with some religious message every chance they got. But when I got my own place and tried to subscribe to the Cincinnati Enquirer, I had no luck. They didn't deliver the first week, only delivered half of the second week, and finally gave up for the third. Since then, I've been largely newspaperless and now I pretty much get my news - and comics - from the internet.

Found a number of new comics today that I'm enjoying for the moment. First, there's the massive collection of online comics at Tapestry where they provide you with RSS feeds so you can know immediately when a new comic has come out. I especially recommend Alien Loves Predator from that collection (I won't link directly 'cause it's not toally school appropriate, though it is hilarious). There's also Order of the Stick (same problem), a webcomic based around a (okay, admitting my dorky heritage) Dungeons and Dragons adventure. Sadly, I get most of the jokes.

Let me also recommend Toothpaste for Dinner, though certainly not for its art quality. Sheesh...

Then there's the granddaddy of them all - Red Meat (again, no linky because of subject matter)...fun stuff, though, I promise...

So, now you have things to search for...go forth and waste time...I'm off to grade some tests and have a lil' din...
