This summer has been rain rain rain and after griping about it for three months the sun magically came out and stabbed me in the eye with one of those wispy yellow tendrils. Before I was permanently blinded by white hot light I was able to put together this comic strip. I also attempted to make a color version but I wasn’t very happy with how it turned out.. the searing pain was obviously starting to have an effect at that point.

Speaking of searing pain, I’m not so much a fan of most comics in the our newspaper so I’ve compiled a short list of web comics and graphic novels to check out instead.

Comics online:
xkcd, Penny Arcade, Natalie Dee, Dinosaur Comics, A Softer World, PVP

Comics in Print:
One Piece, Bone, Invincible, The Walking Dead, Sin City, Akira, 300, Calvin & Hobbes, Watchmen, V for Vendetta, The Dark Knight Returns

In Juneau a lot of these graphic novels are actually available through the library.

Update: How the hell did I forget Fables? I’m totally addicted to fables and I’m excited to hear that Jack is getting his own spin off book.
