Eclectica's Page of World Wide Links, if you wanna.
Like it says there, it's not satanic porn.
It's rather the day-to-day adventures of Jennie
Breeden, the author and artist of the comic.
Comics Monday through Friday, then extra stuff on the weekends
A rabbit and a wolf marry and raise a family.
Here's a link to Bill Holbrook's own Kevin & Kell page, too, for when
the first one's not working.
This one, from Shaenon Garrity & Jeffrey Channing Wells,
just started on the last day of 2007. It concerns the
day-to-day workings of a secret government agency given
a mandate to deal with cases of oddly-developed sapience.
Or something.
They do comics Monday through Saturday and "pin-up" art on
Sunday.
Torg, Riff, Zoe, Kiki the ferret, Aylee the alien, Bun Bun the
psychotic rabbit, etc.
Another of the old-timers, Pete Abrams keeps the comics coming.
This one's sort of grown on me--like some
flesh-devouring fungus, in fact. Give it
a try whether you went to college or not.
Maritza Campos is doing Monday through Friday till July 23rd,
2008!
Katie's a young girl, Ship is the
sheep she counts to fall asleep.
Adrian Ramos does some darn cute stuff.
He's back to Monday through Friday, it looks like.
Howlett Creager is a snake with a dream: helping
folks get back up when the "daily grind" is getting
them down. A tall order, all told...
I'm doing this in the Daily Grind Competition,
so it'll be Monday through Friday; it'll also be over on my Livejournal page every Saturday
with the whole previous week stacked in one place.
Another of the Daily
Grind guys, Mike Stevens focuses
on his own adventures, both real and fictional, and
has developed this whole fantasy world scenario in
which the various Daily Grind participants are
all art ninjas or something with Stevens being assigned
to kill us as we drop out of the contest. Good stuff.
Monday through Friday, according to the terms of the contest...
Stephen Burrell is another of the
folks involved in the Daily Grind
Competition. His daily comic is part
diary, part philosophy, and part aimless
but interesting meandering. And
he does real nice pictures, too.
Monday through Friday, though he'll sometimes post to his Livejournal page when
his usual page is being recalcitrant.
Bob works with Jack and Kendall and Shane and Stephanie
at ToyMania, a large Toys-R-Us type retail outlet that
also appears to be some sort of temporal nexus being
fought over by a variety of mysterious groups. Andrew
Rothery combines humorous real-life work experiences
with random strangeness in a very refreshing fashion,
but make sure you start from the beginning on it...
Another Daily
Grind strip, so that means Monday through Friday. He's also got a
back-up
gallery for those times when his main site's acting up.
Chuck Melville's always been just about my
favorite artist, and now he's got a page
where he's putting up a variety of his comics.
Champion of Katara updates with a page every Tuesday,
Felicia with a page every Wednesday, Seeker's Quest with
a page every Thursday, and Stars 'n' Stripes has a page every
Sunday. So that's four times a week, right?
This one's so story-intensive, I usually let Alan Foreman
go on about his business for five or six months, then
catch up all at once. Also, be aware that there's
swearing, violence, and sexual innuendo aplenty here, but
some of the best-written characters in webcomics, too.
A new strip every Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday
Randy is a trained fox who acts in movies.
Cindy is a wild vixen who lives in the
woods around the farm where Randy lives.
These are their adventures as written and
drawn by Robert and Margaret Carspecken.
New strips Monday, Wednesday and Friday
Sam's an alien, Florence is a genetically-
altered Bowman's wolf, and Helix is a
robot. Science, jokes, drama, pathos:
Mark Stanley's comic's got it all.
New strips Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
Antimony is attending school at
Gunnerkrigg Court, a very British,
shadow-filled place of mystery
and intrigue. Think "Harry
Potter" meets "Courtney Crumrin..."
Tom Siddell puts a new page up every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Jack leads the souls of the dead to
whatever afterlife is awaiting them.
Most "dramatic" comics leave me cold,
but David Hopkins walks the fine line
between overblown and underdone with his
characters, settings, artwork, everything.
Not at all for kids, but very well-done.
Looks like he's trying for Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
John Campbell was involved in
the Daily Grind early
on, and
he does the best stick figure
comics that can be done. He's
just started a new site for his
stuff, and I feel it would be
for the best were I to put up
a link to it.
Back in the U.S, he's going to a Monday-Wednesday-Friday
schedule for a few weeks. You can check his further thoughts and
comics by visiting his LiveJournal site.
Tiffany Tiger is a temp who'd rather be a fashion model.
John Robey's back and is determined to see this story through
to the end sometimes this year with strips every Monday, Wednesday, and
Friday.
This is another one that I do, which
oughtta make you suspicious right
off the bat: the adventures of
a bird, a lizard, a tree, and a rock.
And they have more adventures than
you might think...
New comics Sunday, Tuesday & Thursday one week, then Monday and
Thursday the next
I'm not sure how much of it's real and how much fictional,
but Susan Rankin and her alter ego Sue Buckland have each
gone through adventures both serious and comedic since 1999.
I sometimes get a little lost among the in jokes, but there's a lot of
good stuff in here.
She's updating on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
Tiffany Ross has been doing webcomics for about
as long as there have been webcomics, but
this is the first one of hers I've gotten into. Dragony
dinosaurish sorta folks along with griffins and unicorns
and all these mythological critters: very nice stuff.
She's back, but I don't know what the schedule will be. Every
Tuesday and Thursday, maybe?
Charles is a sasquatch--or possibly a yeti--
and, while he's not very bright, he's got
a heart as big as all outdoors. Karl
Kerschl chronicles his adventures and those
of his fellow woodland creatures.
I used to read this one whenever I'd go to check things
on Girlamatic, but now that Dave Roman's moved to his own
site, I'll give him his own entry. A fine, fine comic.
He's back with pages on Fridays now.
A desposed prince in hiding, magic, intrigue, romance:
you name it. Christina Hanson's comic has been one of my
favorites for years, and now you can read it on-line! Though,
again, if you wanna read the previous installments, you gotta subscribe.
She's started the story back up with a new page every
Wednesday.
The world of Sonic the Hedgehog filtered
through a haze of British cyberpunk humor.
I know next to nothing about the whole Sonic mythos, but Stuart
Edney, Martin Faulkner, Alan Graham and Garry Webber
collectively know how to do "funny," and that's sold me on this one.
A new page every "weekend" is what they're saying at this
point.
Dylan Meconis was the mad fiend behind
Bite
Me!, one of the few things I've read
involving vampires that didn't make me
gag. So I'll be interested to see what
she's up to with this new one.
A new page every Wednesday
Mir, the gnome magician, meets Mir, a human
hero, and becomes his student. Laura Wilson's fun
characters and stories make this one work for me.
She's posted all the strips from her old site at Girlamatic and will continue the
story there now every Wednesday.
Eight young friends attend school.
The English gets a little odd sometimes,
but, well, Jonathan Sario's from the Philippines.
Just read it out loud and it works fine...
He puts a new page up every Monday.
I've known Dan Goodsell, the guy behind
this comic, since 1980, and I've never
known him to be involved in anything
uninteresting. His webcomics are no
different. This one focuses on random
oddness, and who doesn't like that?
A new page every Friday
Adventuring with the crew of the starship Galaxion!
Tara Tallan's restarted her comic book series at Girlamatic and will be putting new
pages up every Tuesday.
Very much based on the whole "Dungeons
and Dragons" thing, but with a fresh
take and some well-written characters.
T. Cunningham, known as Melanippos, has
put together a nice fantasy adventure here.
She's doing a new strip every Friday these days.
Puppets performing Sondheim, motherly devotion manifested
with a rope around an ankle, and the mysterious Dr. Ziggy:
John Peters is telling a pretty amusing story here over at Girlamatic.
Looks like it's new pages every Sunday again.
Mirka wants to be a dragon slayer when
she grows up. If she's not careful, she
might just get what she wants. Barry
Deutsch was doing this one over at Girlamatic
for a while, but then he took some time off
and is re-starting it on his own.
He's posting pages every Wednesday.
Jeepers the rabbit and her friends have
odd adventures in your average Magical
Valley full of talking animals and such.
Andre Richard does a new strip most every Thursday at Girlamatic.
Another one from Shaenon Garrity and various of her
fiendish associates: a brilliant six-year-old and a
slightly insane one attend the same school.
They're back on Girlamatic
every Wednesday.
Like her creator, Ida Kirkegaard, Lisa is a student
in Copenhagen. Unlike her creator, Lisa gets
involved in the eternal struggle between the space
ants and the space termites. Another fine manga parody.
Animation school's out for the summer, so she's trying for a new
page every Monday.
Liska's the vixen there, and Skippy, the
rabbit, is her close companion and general
stooge in the mythical Canadian woodlands
of Mynarski Forest.
Richard Matheson's been putting up a new strip every Monday
for as long as I've been paying attention to webcomics.
Fnaire Antbear comes to Critter
County, U.S.A. to attend college,
and the house she moves into turn out
to be somewhat trans-dimensional and
populated by all kindsa odd human and
non-human folks. I've just been enjoying
the heck outta this one. It gets a little
"on the nose" sometimes, but, well,
Fnaire is an anteater...
Eric Vary and David Sanders are back with a new strip every weekend
and old strips re-inked thrice a week.
More from the mind of Dan Goodsell,
this one focused more specifically
on the adventures of Mr. Toast and
his friends. Also, please explore
the rest of Mr. Goodsell's Imaginary World.
A new comic every Monday
Bela Whigimill--if that's his real
name--is another of the folks in the
Daily Grind
contest with me, and I've
been meaning to put up a link to his
lovely ultra-surrealism for several
years. So now I have.
He's dropped from the contest, and so far he seems to be uploading
a week's worth of them every Friday...
Another "talking animals in college"
comic, but a pretty entertaining
one. Kat Allen hasn't gotten all
that far story-wise, but we'll
see how things develop.
Once a fortnight
Lilia lives with her parents at the Inn at the Edge
of the World. Folks pass through on the way to their
adventures, but adventure can sometimes sneak up on a person...
Pancha & Elena Diaz bring us a new page every other Monday at Girlamatic.
Random comics from Karen Luk.
They've all be multi-page stories
so far, but each one's been
self-contained, something of
a rarity in this serial-loving
medium of ours. Interesting
to read and lovely to look
at: a winning combination.
She's planning to put a new page up at Girlamatic every other Wednesday.
Sabrina's a skunk, Amy's her squirrel
roommate, and Thomas, a wolf, is Amy's
new husband. It's life and love among
young semi-professionals in a talking
animal world, and you should probably be
over 18 to read it: adult situations and like that.
There have been four or five new strips at the beginning of each
month from Eric Schwartz for about 10 years now, I guess.
Another fine comic book makes its way onto the web.
Xeno is a round-headed alien raised by space-faring
lizards. His life becomes interesting when he learns
that there are other non-lizard aliens around, too...
Greg Beettam and Stephen Geigen-Miller put up a bunch of pages on
the first Monday of each month.
to a schedule, but still seem to have new stuff
every week or so
A young girl, newly moved into the big city,
finds herself one night visiting someone
else's dream. Greg Fraser has just started
this one, but I'm really enjoying it.
He's going to a new, less regulated schedule.
Formerly known as "Under the Lemon
Tree," Ralph Hayes Jr. has changed the
name now that the two main characters
have gotten married. As for what else
will be changing, only time will tell.
He updates on a schedule I simply cannot figure out. You can also
try this page here, too, if
his regular server is down...
A nice, gently twisted little fairy tale: princesses,
a missing moon, cats wearing boots, the whole bit
from the brain of Andrea L. Peterson.
She's trying for a new page each Thursday, but it ends up being
more random than that.
Ozy's the arctic fox guy with the hat,
and Millie's the red fox girl next to him.
David Simpson chronicles their adventures at
school and around neighborhoods just like the
the ones you grew up in--if your neighborhood
was full of talking animals, I mean...
He's looking to end the strip sometime in 2008, so he's decreasing
the posting frequency while still trying to put a few up every week. Oh, and here's
another link, too, for when the main one isn't working.
Real-life adventures of a group of friends--at least,
they seem more real-life than most of the comics I
tend to read. Darn good stuff from Charles Schneeflock Snow.
He's announced that he'll be doing a couple pages a month, so I'll
move him here for the nonce.
From Ralph Hayes, the guy who does Goblin
Hollow, this is more like your traditional fantasy
adventure strip. I really like his use of color...
He says he only puts up a new page every Sunday, but they actually
appear on various days, sometimes more than once a week.
here and there, now and then, once in a while
Your typical band of high school friends...
except they're all these dragonny sorta
folks instead of humans. Funny and gorgeously drawn.
Casey Young seems to have re-started the comic with updates
scheduled for Wednesdays, but since that rarely happens, I'm moving
things down here.
Another of the new ones on Girlamatic
in which Stevie Wilson has begun telling
us a bit of a werewolf yarn...
She tried for every Friday, but it's been a couple months since
the last page, so down here it goes.
Lorelei is a vicious, foul-mouthed, killer-for-hire
who's also an immortal were-fox. And yet, Shana
Pinkelton somehow makes her a sympathetic character.
And it doesn't hurt that the story has a nice epic sweep to it....
She's gone random.
Another college-type strip, again with talking
animal folks but this time from the artist know
only as Seraph.
I've got the URL correct now, I hope...
Another journal comic--I seem to find them everywhere
these days--about Heather Riesen's days and nights
living and working in Los Angeles. Of course, she
draws herself as a rabbit and all the folks she meets
as other animals, but other than that, it's remarkably
true-to-life and well worth a look-see.
Her updating schedule has become truly random.
Les McClaine did the wonderful comic book Highway 13
a couple years back, and now he's got this fine webcomic.
It's the the sort of stuff I might be doing with my
Daily Grind strip if I could draw: nice light adventure.
He seems to be busy with other stuff, so I'll move this down here
for now.
Another from the Girlamatic stable,
this one about a young girl whose family owns and operates a circus.
A typical sort of story, you might think, but Lynn Lau tells it with
wonderful art, characters, writing, and humor. Can't beat it.
She's moving, so she figures it'll be a couple months before she's
back on any sort of schedule.
Frank Chase runs Lost & Found Investigations
with his talking dog Max. I've actually been
reading this strip for a couple years now,
but it's so plot-oriented, I tend to let it go
a couple months, then check in and read
a bunch of strips all at once. But Matt
Milligan says he's gonna start updating much more
frequently, so I figured I'd put it here on the page.
He's trying for Monday-Wednesday-Friday, but it's been really
random so far. So down here, then.
Raina Telgemeier is apparently telling us a story from her
own youth, a story involving teeth knocked out and put
back in. Slice-of-life doesn't get any better than this.
Wednesday is supposed to be the day for this one, and she says
she's back now, but there haven't been any pages in a buncha months...
Yuuki is a young boy who's been turned
into a valkyrie. Fine American manga.
She just calls herself "Kittyhawk," and she seems to do 4 or 5
pages every 3 or 4 weeks or so...
I discovered this one through LiveJournal, but I'm
gonna give it its own entry here so I'll remember
to read it. Jordan Neufeld does some very odd
and silly stuff often involving zombies but not
always. Just plain fun.
He's trying for Monday-Wednesday-Friday on his new site, but
he very rarely does that....
The Boneyard: strips that've vanished
in one way or another
One of my all-time favorite comic
books, Apathy Kat, is now being
reprinted on the web under its new
title! Stop by Club Acredale and
check out the kats and kittens!
So much of nothing new means down here it goes again.
Adie likes to kill things, but in
a scientific fashion. Most of the
time, that is. She's very good at
it and also has wolves living in her
brain. The writer/artist has decided
that she'd like to become a bit more
pseudonymous, so we'll just call her
Adie Spiffystuff for now...
Her life has become such that the comic is just about the last
thing on her agenda.
I don't usually care much for these
non-fiction, journal-type, slice-of-life
comics, but Philippe Gaboury's really grabbed
me with this one: funny, well-drawn, the works.
He's taking some time off and doesn't know when he'll be back...
It's not a value judgment of any sort, that
title, but rather a weight loss contest. A
bunch of webcartoonists have signed up to
lose a certain amount of weight, and viewers
are invited to pledge money per pound, money
which will then be donated to UNICEF. Good
comics, a good cause: can't beat it, says I.
This has not only stopped, but now the website has
vanished. Alas...
This one's run its course, a complete storyline all about
vampires in France during the time of the revolution. I
don't usually care for vampire stories, but Dylan Meconis
makes this just about the silliest comic I've read in a long time.
Now in the free section at Girlamatic.
The story reaches from Roman times to an era
of interplanetary travel--all with talking
animals, of course. Another dramatic one,
but Brent Bowser's got a real story to tell...
He's been "on hiatus" since May, 2005...
The story of Chelsea Cattan, a young woman
who finds herself heir to, well, a curse,
not to put too fine a point on it.
Jamie Robertson's taking some time off, and frankly, I'm beginning
to wonder why I'm still reading this comic... Anyway, I'll put it down
here for now.
Adventures at a college just like the one you
went to--just with talking animals.
The artist's called it quits on this one, but the strips are all
still up, so go and read 'em if you haven't yet...
Caroline Ulture is British, but she's
just moved to the U.S. It's everything she
feared--plus she's got a big green Anglophilic
monster living in her fridge. A new artist's
just signed on to draw the strip, too.
R.I.P., Selena - 06/28/04
Raven's the new girl at school.
She's also not entirely human.
Well-written, nicely drawn: who
could ask for anything more?
The story's come to an end--for now. Here's hoping Faith Erin
Hicks will return to the characters again someday...
Four roommates suddenly turn into
various animals. Mike Rickard has
just started this one, but it's
pretty silly and nicely drawn to boot.
He says he updates "once a week or whenever I can," but it's been
months and months. So down here it goes!
A fine, fine photocomic. I mean, not only does Noah J.D. Chin shoot
photos
of his stuffed animals playing D&D, but he's come up with an absolutely
logical explanation as to why stuffed animals would need to
play D&D...
Currently on hiatus
Keith Onzeker is a college drop-out trying
to be a writer in Ithaca, New York. Things
seem to be happening to him, however, that
he hadn't exactly planned on...
Eric Burns, the guy that brings us Websnark, and Peter Venables, seem to
have abandoned the strip, so down here it goes.
Fiona is staying for the summer
at the hotel run by her second-
cousin Edgar. It's not your
usual sort of resort...
Rebecca Veverka's life as become such that her comic moves down
into this section of the list.
In a land far, far away and long,
long ago, humans and human-like
folks live with talking dinosaurs
and dinosaur-like folks.
Supposed to be new strips Monday and Friday with other new stuff
on Wednesdays, but that hasn't happened in months and months....
Acheron is a da'kor--they're forest-dwelling, sort of
goat-dog people--who's promised an elf that he'll
find her long-lost childhood sweetheart. These are
his adventures, nicely written and well-drawn by Sarah Ellerton.
The story's come to an end, but if you haven't read it, please go
and do so now!
This one only lasted about 6 weeks,
but I enjoyed it. He seems to
have pulled up stakes completely,
too...
The comic strip has come to an end, but
the story continues in the comic book...
available at your local comic shop.
Lilly's gone off to the big city to
become a famous artist. Think of it
as the musical Rent without
music but with jokes and talking mice.
Here's an archive of the strip starting from the beginning.
Lizard, his extended family, his co-workers,
and his friends, both human and otherwise,
live and work in New Jersey. A little dramatic,
but fun for the whole family.
Dave Kelly's brought the story to an end, but you can still go
and read it if you haven't--though it looks like you hafta be a KeenSpot Premium Member to
read the earlier strips...
Dave's graduated with a degree in
Computer Science, and the first job
he's offered puts him into the clutches
of Helen Narbon, Mad Scientist. Shaenon
Garrity is the best sort of mad--the
entertaining kind--so go read her strip.
After six years, she's finished. You can
read the archives either with or without commentary, so let me
recommend that you do.
A real rip-snorter of a space opera.
This is actual comics here, folks...
Jim Francis is trying to get back onto a schedule with a new
page--or something--every Monday, but it's been two months, so....
Pup is the dog, the white cat is Kitzel,
and the black cat is Kratzer. Drew Weing
does the most amazing stuff with panel
arrangement and such, and the strip's
pretty funny to boot.
He hasn't updated in a couple months, so I'll move the listing into
the Boneyard here.
Davis has gotten a job at the repository.
He has no idea what he's in for.
Amanda Hardy just decided to stop doing this one, but she's
kept the archive up if you wanna go read something odd...
The good doctor's been away for some time,
but that's all about to change. Another
one from a friend of mine, the redoubtable
Marilyn-Scott Waters.
Has run its course, but you can read the whole story over at Girlamatic.
Rachel Hartman details the travels and adventures
of that notorious rogue and rapscallion--which word,
I hasten to remind the reader, has nothing to do
with hip-hop onions--the Mad Bun. Too much fun.
She's wrapped things up over at Girlamatic
Living in a computer role playing game.
I don't play 'em, but this is plain ol' well done.
Ian Jones-Quartey puts up pages whenever he finishes 'em. That
hasn't been for quite a while now, so here the comic sits.
Action, adventure, and romance in a 19th century
not exactly our own. Tintin Pantoja used to do
this one over at Girlamatic, but she's on her own now.
She says she's doing a new page every Sunday, but that doesn't
happen very often....
Skirting Danger
Courtney Brightland has moved to
New York City to become a superhero.
Or maybe a fashion designer:
she hasn't really decided which
yet. This one might be a
little "risque" for younger
viewers, but it's darn fun.
Meredith Gran has moved on to other
things, but you can still read the
archives on this one if you use the calendars down at the bottom of
the page...
Not exactly "Alice in Wonderland," but sorta: the
bored little girl, the white rabbit, the cat guy with
the big sword... Just plain fun.
Her site has completely vanished at this point...
Miles Pekala dropped out of the Daily Grind Competition
but I hope he keeps up with his comic.
He was supposed to be back, but it was not to be. You can
still read his old comics, though!
If you start at the beginning of this one, you'll find the usual
webcomic story of a guy, a robot, and some talking sausages.
Fine stuff, yes, but, then T.K. Longmire moves into his tales
of the "fishy apocalypse," and those are an extra crunchy
layer of fine. He's moved on from them now, though...
He's dropped out of the Daily Grind Competition,
so he'll probably be updating his LiveJournal page if he
keeps updating at all. And it looks like he isn't...
At Fallon University, Hana Neko becomes involved
with Mr. Bear's Tea Club. All kindsa fun.
Phuong-Mai Bui-Quang's trying to get "back on track," but it
doesn't look like that's happening...
Part dark urban fantasy, part "slice of life," but both parts
are done well, and I feel almost certain they'll come
together into a somewhat coherent whole.
Leticia Rocha has decided to go on to other projects, and now even
the pages seems to be gone...
A finished story over at Girlamatic,
this one concerns a village dealing with
the effects of unicorn sightings in the area.
Like I said, Rachael Moore's finished the thing up.
This one's being drawn and co-written
by Traci Briery, one of our former
cast members. Vinny's just become
a vampire. But that doesn't mean
he doesn't have to make a living....
Has joined the ranks of the truly dead at this point...
Sometime in the not-too-distant future, a plague
kills off the human race, leaving their robots
behind with no one left to serve. Jon Bakos
and Ross Smith explore this world and
do quite a fine job of it, too.
It's supposed to be a new page every Friday in the free section
over at Modern Tales, but that
hasn't been happening for a while now...
A comic about a talking animal fire department
done by a woman who used to be a firefighter.
Vicky Morgan-Keith has moved on to other projects, and these pages
have vanished from from their
website.
Gramps, Zeus the dog, Topher the coyote,
Mack the bat. Fun, odd adventures in the
deserts of Arizona by Wes Hargis.
This was running in the online version of the Tucson Weekly, but
now it seems to have stopped.
