Sister Claire

Staying in last post's theme of religion, Sister Claire takes you along a fantastic story of a nun in a monastery full of other nuns.

Ok, wait, that sounds boring. Let me spice it up for you:
* Witches being allergic to cats.
* The lead character gets pregnant.
* Devil cats and cute white cats.
* Gabriel(le) of the G.O.D corporation, rising from the toilet.
* The reverend mother speaking yoda.
* H2O holy water from a squirt gun.
* Nun-Fu, martial arts of extreme punishment.

Sounds better now, right?
All the nuns have unique personalities, and have their own parts in the story. Some are trained in the art of nun-fu and will kick butt. There's also the classic evil sister, posession of the evil cat spirit, body transformations and oh hey so much more.

The first chapter is in black and white, all the rest are in full color. All intentional though, as color is introduced with the arrival of Gabriel(le).



Who knew right? The archangel was a woman.

Cats are an integral part of the storyline, as you'll quickly see.

Sinfest

Somewhere between heaven and hell, lies earth. And on earth, it's Sinfest.

This comic updates very often, 3-4 panel black and white, with a full color page about once every week. It's a cute comic with plenty of love and evil mixed all together in a comic that has been going for well over 11 years now. It's a big player, though at times neglected or unknown by new readers.

11 years? Updates every day, that means... Indeed that means over 4124 comic pages as of today. A huge number in terms of dedication and longevity for any web comic.

The comic features a geeky boy, a girl, a pig who's always smoking weed, god's hand, the devil, the devil's child, plenty of succubi and several more characters. There are a number of story lines which get interwoven randomly with other pages, and over the you'll see things coming back from 20 or 30 pages back.

Furthermore it's a very cute comic fit for all ages regardless of the material drawn. Perhaps a bit more in the line of "teen" because of that. No excessive nudity, though some mild language usage. Suitable for work during your lunch break.



I would say you should start at page 1, but reading over 4000 pages will take you a while. Aw heck, go read em all anyway! Read Sinfest!

Ninety Nines

Since the last comic was about two lesbians, let's put up a gay one today.

The comic Ninety Nines is about two cat/furry/alien kind of creatures called Aqua and Serge. It's a collection of random jokes and creations, offensive language abuse, dick jokes and evil blood sucking goldfinches (The small, yellow kind).

It starts out with fairly simple drawings, then moves on to full scale high res color every so and then. The number of updates are sadly lacking of late as it's a very funny comic. Regardless of your personal religious tastes.

If you are easily offended, a religious zealot, overweight - gay hating american, this comic is probably not for you. For anyone else, it's a good read with plenty of rude and amusing comedy all around.



Coffee and energy drinks all around, Ninety Nines!
And one and two Deviant Art pages, in case you like the arrrrt, there is more :) (Also room to complain about the lack of updates!)

Pawn

Another black and white comic, and again I'm not sharing black and white comics unless they are "really good".

Pawn most certainly qualifies true and proper for the "really good" title. Even though updates are sporadic at best, it's still alive after many many years and it's always a treat to get an update posted.

The story is about a lesbian scribe going down into a dungeon to seek it's biggest treasure. Not gold and jewels as you might expect, but it's mighty demoness guardian. Naturally that part of her quest succeeds, but getting back out of the dungeon is another task entirely.



So, start reading Pawn today! Not because it's updating every day, not because it's black and white, but because you should have started reading it years ago already! That, and it's an awesome comic.

Bear Nuts

Sarcasm, sadism, gluttony, drug abuse, alcohol abuse, plain evil and a number of other sins, all this and more in a single comic called Bear Nuts.

Beat nuts is the story of a small group of bears at the zoo. You'll find: Prozac, Gimp, Death, Gay, Lech, Evil, Tanked, Crack, Nerd, Vanity and others yet unseen playing out their intended parts in ways you proper to their names. Missions to steal from their human keepers, joyride around town, mayhem and crisis everywhere.

Using morphine on the visiting kids? No problem!

The comic is getting to it's 300th page soon, and the art style has been very steady throughout. Color and sharing all well done and pleasing to read.



Start reading Bear Nuts today!

Twisted Kaiju Theater

Neo Monster island, or Twisted Kaiju Theater is a comic, and not a comic both at the same time.

Some explanation is required on this though. Basically the "roots" of the comic come from a huge collection of monster toys both big and small. Arrange the toys, take an image, put the image on your computer, edit it with photoshop for special effects and text boxes and then print that on the website.

This has been going on for a staggering 1760 pages - and still counting. The comedy is as the comic title suggest - somewhat twisted and definitely aimed at the more mature reader. But the comedy - there is SO much of it! It's hard to believe it's coming from a single crazy mind.

Plenty of people have "tried" making a web comic in a similar way, either with lego toys, or sonic the hedgehog sprites, or megaman sprites, you name it. But, like with any black and white comic, it's not the quality of the artwork that makes the comic. It's the person behind the comic that makes it into the work of art that inspires thousands to read it every time there is an update.

A very twisted kind of special even, and for all that it's just that much more awesome.



It's one of those comics where you can start reading halfway through (page 1500 or thereabouts) and with a few clicks you'll enjoy it. Personally, picture and sprite comics don't do much for me, but this one stands out of the lot by a decent head (and tail). It has great comedy value of a unique kind that you're not likely to find elsewhere.

And the occasional bonus artwork,



Release your inner Kaiju and get stompy, at Twisted Kaiju Theater!

XKCD

Out of all the webcomics on the web, few can get away with Stick figures and black and white coloring. XKCD does however, and it does it very well indeed. You'd have to be a bit of a geek to appreciate some of the jokes, but if you do get them. Just, wow. Occasionally the author puts together such complex jokes it makes you wonder where a person gets the time to put it all together. But when you understand it, you will appreciate it all that much more.

It's a black and white comic for the most part, but colors and even animation is used so and then.

XKCD could be considered a comic for the smart people among us, but that doesn't mean you're stupid if you don't understand the jokes. It just means you aren't understanding the complexity of the fine art of the joke that the author put together ;)

By the words of the author:
* Warning: this comic occasionally contains strong language (which may be unsuitable for children), unusual humor (which may be unsuitable for adults), and advanced mathematics (which may be unsuitable for liberal-arts majors).



Do not be discouraged by the fact that it'd black and white, this comic is a masterpiece of the internet that is soon approaching it's 1000th update. Read XKCD now!
