It having quite literally been too hot for words over the past few days, that part of my existence which hasn't involved periodically braving the heat to go out and interact with human beings has mainly revolved around watching sport on tv and reading webcomics (no, I'm not particularly proud of this, nor noticeably ashamed...well, maybe just a little bit of the latter). Anyway, some other webcomics that I've been enjoying:
"Dinosaur Comics", written and drawn by one Ryan North. In which dinosaurs talking about philosophy and social trends, making lame jokes, wisecracking and attempting to one-up each other, mucking around with time travel, indulging in whimsical flights of fantasy, carrying out stupid plans, being endlessly self-absorbed, and so on (nearly always with precisely the same pictorial series), are funny.
"Sinfest", written and drawn by one Tatsuya Ishida. In which there's too much going on to really summarise - but suffice to say that it's hella cynical and hella cool.
"Cat and Girl", written and drawn by one Dorothy Gambrell. In which girl, a hipster who, like all true hipsters, always complains about hipsters, hangs out with cat, who is delightfully gormless and not cute at all, and other hipster-type sorts; many references to, eg, Thomas Pynchon, Dorothy Parker, Talulah Gosh, the Shangri-Las, and other touchstones; long self-reflexive frequently self-undermining anti-capitalist diatribes; much joy ensues on my part.
The other ones that I particularly like are Questionable Content and Scary Go Round.
