Something Awful and Webcomics.
I've been perusing the Webcomics Megathread at Something Awful, and feeling like I'll never want to join the site. Reading it is like having dinner with a creepy, reclusive family. Without passion they continuously rehash old greviences and problems that make sense only to them, and I have the feeling that if I were to speak up they'd all suddenly stop talking, and silently stare at me. Plus, they have a thing for really badly drawn comics, for some reason.
On the other hand, they DID introduce me to a couple new webcomics:
Binsybaby: a livejournal with a very cute wordless comic about a girl, a boy, and a balloon. It has the sort of logic a good children's story has, annd the art is very cool.
Kukuburi: Oh my gosh, this is fantastic. A girl wanders through a fence into a world of colorful, dreamlike weirdness. A world with brilliant colors, fantastic perspective work and a hint of a European sensibility in the character design. All backed by a storyline that actually seems to be going somewhere at a clip fast enough to keep the reader interested...as if the brilliantly sharp artwork wasn't enough to do that already. It's like Mobius meets Dresdin Kodak, meets Dr. Seuss. Only with better writing. And Battle Whales. And La Brigade Du Chapeau.
Definitely read this!
OK, so I might keep lurking around the place. they may dig up something more like this.
