Webcomics
Posted: Tue Jan 08, 2008 4:44 pmOnce upon a time, maybe a decade and a half ago, one had to purchase a gutter rag like the Advertiser in order to get a quick fix of comic artistry. With the exponential growth of the internet, more and more comics are published entirely online, many penned by folk whose adolescent doodling would otherwise never have seen the light of day. Consequently there is a hell of a lot of garbage out there in webcomic land. Nevertheless a few of these vanity publications stand head and shoulders above the rest, consistently providing a chuckle with every new strip. These webcomics are as follows:
1. Space Moose.
Sadly long defunct, as the author has been trying for years to shake the stigma of being associated with the most tasteless misanthropic un-PC comic strip in the history of mankind. Nevertheless some archives of the strip in its heyday still exist, eg:

2. Cyanide and Happiness
Several authors independently creating strips of coarsely drawn stick figures. Frequently in poor taste. Often seen doing the e-mail rounds.

3. Red Meat
Minimalist presentation, surrealist humour, bizarre characterisation.
