What Chris Daily is Reading
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on November 6, 2003 - 08:05
Chris Daily is a reviewer for Comixpedia and also the creator of Striptease. Here are a few strips he's slowly digesting in the webcomics buffet line.
1. Butternut Squash by Ramo'n Pe'rez and Rob Coughler. A slice of life strip, but oddly familiar. It's weekly, but the clever edgy writing and SUPREME ass-kicking illustration is worth the wait.
2. Cigarro & Cerveja by Tony Esteves. Classic bitter smoking and drinking animals. Sweet.
3. Love-Kitty by Carrie O'Brien. It's absurdity at its best. reminds me a lot of those old Saturday morning cartoons I used to watch in the early 80's. They were sooo cool back then, but if you watch them now, you realize how lame they are. Not that Love-Kitty is lame, just nostalgic...
4. Fred the Clown by Roger Langridge. Beautifully drawn and smartly written, the quality of this strip harkens back to Golden Age comics like Little Nemo and Krazy Kat. Even you people who are scared of clowns will LOVE Fred.

From the desk of CRFH!!!:
Today's my birthday! Can you believe I was 22 when I started making CRFH? And now I'm 27, and I can't help but feeling a little old. And I have been making this strip now for 1/5th of my life! o.O But hey, birthdays are the happiness! Lots of gifts and cake. Speaking of gifts, it'd be really nice if you brainwash- er, convince other people to read CRFH. Madness needs to be spread!
Circle Weave archives available with BitPass
Submitted by Indigo Kelleigh on November 4, 2003 - 10:36
Until now, the only way that new readers to the popular fantasy comic strip The Circle Weave could read the archives of the series and find out what happened previously in the story was to pay a small monthly fee to subscribe to Moderntales.com, host of a number of premium online comics. However, with the introduction of micropayment service BitPass as an option, readers can now purchase access to the Circle Weave archives a chapter at a time directly from series creator Indigo Kelleigh -- at a much lower price.
