Recommended Reading
- Homeland Security Theater by Bill Forster
You wouldn’t think that you could milk an entire comic off of bashing the TSA…. but as it turns out, you can. Forster puts his past experience working for said organization to good use in this comic.
- My Roomie, The Dark Lord by Priscilla Tramontano
A hilarious brand spanking new comic by the comic colorist industry’s own Pr1ps, who’s also a talented artist in her own right!
- Thelbert by Ethan Killett
This comic can be slow to update sometimes, and can go in spurts based on the creator’s own writer’s block/available time, but when it’s going, it’s gold.
- Weregeek by Alina Pete
A must read for those of you out there with geeky interests such as tabletop gaming, LARP, roleplaying, and anything else in a geekier genre. Plus, the creator’s an Alberta local, so there’s that!
- Ratfist by Doug TenNapel
Doug TenNapel’s work has been a big influence on my own, via Earthworm Jim (though he admittedly had no direct role in the cartoon that heavily influenced me) and his other graphic novels. And this is his go at doing a pretty entertaining (and now complete and available in graphic novel format) webcomic.
- Shortpacked! by David Willis
A webcomic about toy collecting, as well as the crazy cast of characters that works at a toy store.
- Dumbing of Age by David Willis
Willis’ second ongoing webcomic, this one’s his continuity reboot without aliens, superpowers, or the like. Just a ton of characters at college.
- Girl Genius by Phil & Kaja Foglio
A steampunk-esque webcomic written and illustrated by the Foglios, following the ongoing adventures of Agatha Heterodyne. A fun read with some excellent characters and art.
- xkcd by Randall Munroe
Let’s face it – you have zero geek cred if you don’t read this. Hilarious webcomic proving that ex-NASA physicists who draw stick people can make a living off of cartooning.
- Sinfest by Tatsuya Ichida
Another genuinely solid comic. A newspaper comic that would never run (and has in fact had several rejections) in newspapers due to the subject matter.
