Some Other Webcomics I’m Enjoying Lately
I really enjoy checking out other webcomics, and I’ve actually been exposed to a few when they have posted a comment here on my site (so post a comment here if you want me to look at your comic!) If you have posted a comment here and I don’t mention you here, it doesn’t mean I don’t like your strip. I admire anyone who has the drive, guts and sheer idiocy to take on making a webcomic.
Here’s a few webcomics of which I have become a daily reader.
I’ve already mentioned Legend of Bill by David Reddick. Another obvious one is Sheldon, a long running strip by Dave Kellet and one of the authors of the book “How to Make Webcomics” (highly recommended.) Sheldon has a certain care-free feel to it which makes it really enjoyable to read. And Dave’s sense of humor is both sophisticated and sneaky.
One that is less of a strip and more of a comic book type is Kukuburi by Ramon Perez. This guy just oozes artistic talent and creative storytelling. He posts a two panel update once a week and it’s spectacularly inventive and creative stuff. You owe it to yourself to check it out. He was also nice enough to give me a mention on his blog. (Isn’t it great when people are super talented AND nice? You can fit David Reddick into that category as well.)
Next is Pinkerton by Mike Witmer. Anyway, I’ve only recently discovered this one but it has me cracking up already. The characters are great, the artwork is really appropriate with the angled lines and the sharp humor. I must now go back and read the archives to catch up…yay!
Lastly is Calamities of Nature by Tony Piro. This is not a daily but a weekly, I believe. Tony just celebrated his one year anniversary of the strip (congrats!) He states he has been drawing his characters since he was ten - how about that! I like Tony’s very unique style and his characters have well thought out personalities that come through in his strip.
Check these strips out, you won’t be sorry!

Thanks Og - I see you are ending your run of CroakersGorge. The artwork is really great, great inking - I’m jealous! It seems to me you have a lot of potential for stories there. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Nah, nah… I’m not ending it. I’ll just be changing it to another format. I dunno what yet.

Hi Tom!
From Skate Log Forum
I’d recommend “Order of the Stick” … especially if you ever did any gaming.
I usually forget about it for a while then go back and read a month at a sitting

He breaks the ‘fourth wall’ all the time, but it works.
I’ve just recently been reading ‘erfworld’ on the same site from someone else’s suggestion, it took me a while to get comfortable with it, but it’s interesting too.
I’ll check out your links … if I have time
heh
Gotta sk8 more …
