Web Comics

Cat and Girl
Subtle intelligent humor. Wry social commentary. Possibly overly literate. Occasionally, perfect.

Goats
Absurdist humor with the occssional long, winding plot. The author is not afraid to offend, but usually does it in a funny way.

Jeffrey Rowland
In Overcompensating, Rowland's comic blog, he lies about stuff happening to him and makes me chuckle.
Wigu is continuing now in book form only but previously was daily comic about the adventures of an odd little boy and the peculiar family that spawned him.

Mitch Clem writes for himself and lets us read it. Naturally, his output is sporadic, but it is also generally good. His home page is a blog that sometimes include installments of his own life in comic form, under the name San Antonio Rock City
Nothing Nice to Say is "The World's First Online Punk Comic.," currently not updating regularly. I don't listen to much punk, so I don't get all of his references, but it's funny nonetheless.
The Coffee Achievers was his project with the prolific Joe Dunn. It features the same characters as NN2S, but it's more of an ongoing adventure than just commentary. It also officially finished at the end of chapter 9, though Mitch and Joe might pick it up again.

Newspaper Comics

Get Fuzzy
Darby Conley takes the world by storm! This is the best strip in the papers these days.

Pearls Before Swine
Sarcastic rat, stupid pig, earnest zebra: funny strip.

Comic Books

Justin Hall
A old friend. Buy his stuff! Plus it's good. I especially recommend TRUE TRAVEL TALES 3: La Rubia Loca

Lewis Trondheim
I particularly like his recently-concluded "Lapinot" series, my favorite being Slaloms, though I am currently getting into his epic "Donjon" project with Joann Sfar. They are written in French, but some are available translated into English (where "Lapinot" is renamed "McConey").

My Own Comics

I've got a comic of my own, too, and I've just created its own web site to host it. It looks pretty nice, and I am fairly proud. I update the strip weekly on Sunday nights. It's called Finn and Charlie are HITCHED and the web site is at http://hitched.tonybreed.com/.

When I started the strip, I was doing it as full-page comics, the sort of thing to go in a book. Those three early ones are linked below:

"How would if be if I grew a soul patch?"Soul Patch

"Ready to go?No Pants

"What the hell are you wearing?Punk Thing

I'm sort of on my way to officially making this a web comic. The full page comics will continue to live here, and the three-panel ones may get their own site at some point. But for now, check out the blog.
