Comic strips - part 2

More comics:

Questionable Content (http://www.questionablecontent.net/)
Despite the name it's pretty safe. To describe "Questionable Content" I find I keep wanting to use phrases that describe most comic strips. The term that I wouldn't use on a lot of comics is "funny".

Something Positive (http://www.somethingpositive.net/)
While "Questionable Content" has very little questionable content "Something Positive" isn't terribly positive. The characters are kinda dark and mean, but in a funny way.

Least I Could Do (http://www.leasticoulddo.com/)
A good comic, but don't let your parents read it. They just wouldn't approve.
This one has had three different artists in it's time. As one becomes busy with his job and other projects they have to beg off and the writer has to find a new artist. The author and current artist have won several awards. They've also joined with several other cartoonists to form Blind Ferret Entertainment. The people at Blind Ferret have an actual office they all work from and have started several side projects. Most recently, they opened the comic book store they've always wanted to shop in.

Looking for Group (http://www.lfgcomic.com)
The duo that makes "Least I Could Do" also makes "Looking for Group". It has a long running D&D-type storyline but it also shoots for being funny in each strip. There has been some talk of a movie.

Partially Clips (http://partiallyclips.com/)
For a long time I thought the cartoonist has gotten his hands on some old line art with expired copyrights and used them to make gags. Turns out he's drawing all this remarkably drawn graphics.

Girls with Slingshots (http://www.daniellecorsetto.com/gws.html)
This is a comic primarily about a couple of girls who always welcome an open bar. That's a completely unfair description because it's so much more than that.
She's been collaborating with the "Something Positive" guy lately. If they're not dating they probably should be.

Sinfest (http://www.sinfest.net/)
Primarily about a guy who wants to be a womanizer and a woman who all the guys are after. It also regularly features the Devil, his two succubi, his fan boy, Jesus, God, Buddha, and a nerd boy that one of the succubi has fallen for.

Evil Inc. (http://www.evil-comic.com/)
Started off as "Graystone Inn" but changed to this comic about super villains gone corporate.

The Whiteboard (http://www.the-whiteboard.com)
A comic about a polar bear that runs a paintball shop. He also tends toward engineering projects that draw the fire department, the police, and NASA.

Rockwood (http://www.rockwoodcomic.com/)
A comic about some guys living in a space station.

Oh, yes, many more to come.
