comics i keep up with on the regular. part one of idek
1. Gunnerkrigg Court (tumblr). it’s about school, sort of, and magic, sort of, and robots, sort of… and friendship, mostly. funny and weird and touching and all sorts of things. read from the beginning, don’t let the early art throw you off.
2. Helvetica (tumblr). it’s about skellingtons! it’s about the afterlife. it’s relatively new, so catching up is quick and totally worth your time. can’t wait to see where this one goes!
3. Oglaf. it’s… mostly it’s about being really, really NSFW? fantasy world setting, not really much plot to speak of though several recurring characters. porn, and weirdness, and hilarity, and sometimes things even happen too!
4. Lackadaisy (tumblr). it’s about cats? okay, it’s not about cats. i mean, sort of. it’s about a prohibition-era speakeasy struggling to survive after the proprietor’s (mysterious) death. and the characters just happen to be cats, but, y’know, in that disney sort of way where actually they’re people so don’t worry about it. amazing art, obsessively researched, fabulous plot and characters. updates sporadically.
5. Monster Pulse (tumblr). it’s about MONSTERS which are made out of KID’S ORGANS. but in a REALLY ADORABLE WAY. see because the kids are totally fine, and then are BFFs with their body part monsters, though of course there is a Shadowy Organization out to get them and whatnot. adventures! friendship! monsters! what more can you possibly need in your life?
6. String Theory (tumblr). it’s about an alcoholic mysophobic misanthropic genius scientist and his transformation into an alcoholic mysophobic misanthropic evil genius scientist, after he accidentally kills some people and goes to prison for it. it.. it’s pretty fucking amazing. also i don’t know how the hell the art can be visibly better with every single page, but it really is; becks’ talent seems to develop, like, daily.
i read a lot of things. expect at least one more of these, though not tonight.
