My Webcomic Reading List

  • All-ages

    webcomics centered on themes of creativity, play, and/or simple pleasure without themes of hard-principle to alienate a sophisticated readership:

    • with plotted chapters:

      • Bad Machinery - the school-grounds spin-off of Scary Go Round, where universal-catastrophe is often resolved by play
      • Dawn of Time - a beasty-girl, dinosaurs, and time-travelers debating evolution, in a lost post-modern, stone-age era
      • Evil Diva - Dante's Riverdale
      • Gunnerkrigg Court - boarding-school fantasy in which mythologies reconcile, and reason and experience contrast
      • The Surreal Adventures of Edgar Allan Poo - sincerely presented adventures of the famous author's avatar
    • gag-a-day:

      • Daisy Owl - characters framing in melodrama the banal, mundane, and inane
      • Minus @ Kiwis By Beat - comics exploring redemption through play
      • Nedroid - deceptively naive humor that stabs you with its characters' obsessions and disappointments
  • Comedy

    • Achewood* - Ray is the id to Dilbert's ego, and Snoopy's super-ego
    • Alien Loves Predator* - in a New York sublease, no one can hear you scream
    • Blip* - a girl who exists outside of fate and the invisible forces of seduction and control that make her personal life their battleground
    • Bugs - shows frat humor can work when it lets everyone in
    • Dr McNinja - silliness that lives up to the title
    • Hark! A Vagrant* - Kate Beaton mingles with the very human agendas that drive History
    • Nine Planets Without Intelligent Life - robots as the surviving dramatic platform for the follies and pretenses of their legendary creators
    • The Non-Adventures of Wonderella - why help isn't on its way
    • Octopus Pie* - ¼ disgusted, ¾ cozy, 100% adorable
    • Skin Horse* - mayhem like a Marx Brothers movie of a shadow-agency for science-generated chimera
  • Melodrama

    • Anders Loves Maria* - romance that demonstrates how the need for control can destroy relationships and lives
    • Dresden Codak - high-concept humor strip that became a high-concept futuristic pulp-adventure
    • Freak Angels* - mutants rebuilding the civilization they destroyed as they came of age, by Ellis & Duffield
    • Girl Genius - "gaslamp fantasy" of mayhem & romance by Studio Foglio
    • Great @ Kiwis By Beat - rich and outrageous tragedi-comedy of someone starving on his own narcissism
    • Rice Boy - otherworldly parable for the role gratification and sacrifice play in establishing wisdom and identity
