graphic thoughts

I’ve mentioned Inverloch before, but there are several web comics I check out every week.  I’d like to highlight a few of them here for you now, and, I hope, spread the love a little bit.

And speaking of little bit, let’s start with Zip & Li’l Bit Funnies, a brilliant, kid-friendly comic in the style of the old Depression-era (I think) Sunday serials.  “Upside-Down Me,” the first complete story starring Zip and his sister Li’l Bit, is done and archived on the site, and their second adventure, “The Sky Kayak,” is off to a good start with eleven installments done as I type this.  It’s updated twice a week.

I missed this announcement, but I’m so happy about it! The brilliant Minx title, P.L.A.I.N. Janes will have a sequel published next year by the same team, titled Janes in Love. Many of the other ‘08 titles sound wonderful, too, especially Poseur but mostly that’s because Rick Mays, one of my super-fave but little-seen artists will be doing the pictures.
