Day 3 – Web Comics
Good Evening happy people
I do so like Mondays
For those of you who are reading this from the Ubuntu-UK planet – I’ve limited my blogs feed, so that I don’t spam you all with rambling on other subjects than Ubuntu (mainly), especially whilst I’m trying to blog once a day this month. I’ve sent this one, as I think it might be interesting to you. If you want to read my full writings, head here: http://kirrus.co.uk/ or get your RSS here: http://kirrus.co.uk/feed/
So, Web Comics. This is going to be a list of the ones I read. If you know of any good ones I’ve missed out, let me know!
http://www.xkcd.com – Nice fun stick men comic, which has a large following amongst geeks. I expect that most people reading this blog will have already seen this. (sudo sandwich!) Updates Monday / Wednesday / Friday.
http://www.cad-comic.com – Gaming / Youth / Odd / Interesting. That about sums it up. Updates Monday / Wednesday / Friday
http://www.crimsondark.com – Sci-Fi comic, another basically CG, but lots more hand-work involved than dreamland. Has got a very catching storyline. Updates Mondays
http://www.freakangels.com/ – Updates Fridays with 5-6 pages, nice one to end the working week with. Created by a professional, and is very good.
http://www.thedreamlandchronicles.com – Basic good v.s evil storyline, graphics are all CG. Updates Monday – Friday.
http://www.jaydenandcrusader.com – Hosted by me (so I’m biased), but still, its very good. Its also quite fun watching as the artist getting better at his work. (And quite amazing – look at the first comic, and the last!) Updates Mondays.
http://www.gpf-comics.com – A good comic by a sysadmin. Expect lots of technical computing themes and references. Of late, I’ve been ignoring the updates – the current storyline just doesn’t catch me. Maybe I’ve read Harry Potter too many times
Updates Monday / Wednesday / Friday
A couple of comics, I’ve started reading and dropped. Two examples would be misfile and earthsong.

Have you tried Steampunk (or “Gaslamp Fantasy” as the authors would have it) comic “Girl Genius”?

I’ve seen adverts for it… from memory, they appeared quite highly sexualised, which is an instant dis-incentive for me. (If you concentrate on drawing big breasts etc, you’re not concentrating on making a good story)
I’ll check it out
