I'm a little out of sorts tonight, so I'm going to restrict myself to a single entry, and I'm going to go with one that's nice and easy for me, and timely to boot.
I was linked recently to Don't Forget To Validate Your Parking, a comic by a writer that is, at least in part, about the writer's strike. To date it's a talking head comic; one character either typing into his blog or talking on the phone, but (as one would expect from a writer) the dialog is pretty good. There's a certain self-mockingly pretentious depth to the character that really appeals to me.
There's also something really appealing about the format of release - each individual strip is five panels, all uniformly sized (and essentially uniform in appearance), but each conversation is released in a burst, in one long post containing several strips. I think it's a much more satisfying way to process, because it gives the author the opportunity to make a beat panel out of an entire strip, which seems to really work somehow.
So, will you like it? Read the first entry. If it hits you right, you'll like it. If not, try the recent conversation with Satan. If that doesn't do it for you either, I'm afraid you're on your own.
