Through the Looking Back Glass by Erik Melander
Webcomics have been receiving a surprising amount of mainstream media attention this year.

School Spirit by VanderWerff & Quinney, reviewed by Matt Summers
It takes a special kind of person to be a teacher in today’s world. With the horrors and plain out-and-out nuisances you hear about constantly on the news (including low pay, angry parents, belligerent students, etc), one wonders what kind of person would willingly embark on this career path. Now take that brave person and have him also able to see the world from the viewpoint of the children he’s instructing; able to see things through the eyes of innocence, without the burden of maturity and worldliness tainting the rose-colored glasses they’re wearing.
And You Think Your Roomies Are Weird…
Maritza Campos of College Roomies From Hell (AKA CRFH) has been delighting readers since mid-1999 with her college roomies who are weirder than most – tentacles for an arm, bat wings, werewolves, eyebeams – the sort of roomies Miskatonic University would be proud to call their own. Maritza, with a beautiful new baby girl, took time to give us an interview.
