To Arms!

Well readers, now that we have gotten to know each other(as well as people can know each other, connected via nothing but miles of fiber optic cable), let's get to the meat of this particular internet rambling:  what webcomics are relevant to your interests and why.  To kick things off, lets start with a personal favorite of mine, a strip by the name of Questionable Content, written and drawn by the great Mr. Jeph Jacques.  Started in the summer of 2003 as a strip mainly focused on indy rock humour, QC has continually evolved until it is nigh unrecognizable from its original incarnation.  QC is unique among the webcomic world in not only does it update daily and without fail, each strip is a masterwork of colour and design, every detail showing that not only is this work a man's occupation, but his passion.  The basis of the comic is the interaction  between the large cast of characters, which provides not only humour, but also an almost soap opera like drama that draws you into the lives of the characters that Jacques has created.  Here is a recent strip that shows in pictures what I struggle to describe in words.

Hopefully this sample shows even a shred of what QC is about, but for those that remain unconvinced, feel free to visit the site, and maybe you'll see what a gem QC is among the rest of the drab internet.
