Sex, Blasphemy, and Gay Marriage, Oh My!
March 14th, 2009 by SusieIt’s time for me to finally do the post about webcomics I have meant to do since Christmas.
Here are three I don’t think have been mentioned on this site yet.
I love this strip! It is about a young Swedish couple who are having a baby, and probably shouldn’t be. Given that Anders can’t stop getting involved with other women, and Maria can’t seem to grow up. It is wickedly funny and terribly authentic. The art work some how manages to be simplified, and sophisticated at the same time. I was really tempted to buy an original page, but unfortunately the I did not get my tax return before the half off sale ended. It should be mentioned that even though the people are drawn in a very non photo realistic manner, 60% of the strips have included extremely explicit sex, that is probably not safe for work.
This strip is only a few months old. It follows the adventures of a very naive young girl who was raised by nuns. It is drawn in the style of kwai(cutesy) anime. Claire wants nothing more in life than to be the best nun ever, while still getting to indulge in all things sweet and cuddly. Unfortunately for her a sexy messenger from God disrupts her cloistered existence. I am totally digging it!
Finally we have Finn and Charlie are Hitched
It is a slice of life styled strip centered around a gay male couple and their circle of friends. It is not as serialized as the previous two I mentioned, going with the more traditional 3 to 4 panels leading to a gag format. It is consistently funny and done by local Chicago artist.
