Wednesday’s Webcomic: Lackadaisy

Today’s comic is a historical dark comedy telling the story of a Prohibition speakeasy that has fallen on hard times and the tenacious and shady crew of oddballs that runs it.  It is at times hilarious and silly and other times tragic and bloody, and the cast of this story are adorable and expressive cats. Fluffy cats,…

Fighting for truth, justice, and product endorsements, Wonderella herself would much rather be at home with a Jack and Coke watching American Idol. Unfortunately for her, a girl has to make a living and her superpowers are the…

Wednesday’s Webcomic, the Intro

Not only has the Internet shrunk the world to the point where I can virtually walk through a shack in Antarctica, it’s also brought us the versatile and exciting medium of webcomics. Webcomics are free from the constraints of editors and publishers and the physical dimensions of paper. One or two people can sit down…
