Meghan Murphy bills her webcomic Kawaii Not as "the comic for cute gone bad" and it's a great description of Murphy's cute but twisted graphic haikus. (Murphy was the cover artist for Comixpedia's March Issue)
Last month the nominations for this year's Eisner awards were announced and amongst the nominees for Best Digital Comic was Phables by Brad Guigar. Earlier this month I conducted a short interview with Guigar to get his reactions to the good news and find out more about Phables. In the time between conducting the interview and publishing it here, however, Guigar received another form of recognition for Phables, this time winning "Best Local Column" from the Greater Philadelphia Society of Professional Journalists. It's shaping up to be a very good year for Brad!
Cow & Buffalo by Mike Maihack has funny animals doing silly things. It's like the comics you loved when you were a kid. Wackiness prevails and it's fun.

This looks pretty smart – a step older than Lunchbox's "all ages" concept is Teenbit — featuring comics about teenagers. (Comics will be PG-13 and G-rated) As the site says — these comics are all trying to capture something about the teenage years. With heavy hitters Penny & Aggie, Red String, and other good looking comics like Ugly Girl, Geek Blather, Masters of the Art, Subculture of One, YU+ME: Dream, and The Broken Mirror this looks like a great site to bookmark.
