Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on April 7, 2003 - 17:56
We're noticing a few days late, but Angels 2200 by Peter Haynes and Nathaniel Savio hit its one year anniversary mark last week. This science fiction tale has attracted a growing audience but I'm sure there's room for more. Updates Monday and Fridays.

Cinderblock's First Year!
Cinderblock celebrates its first-ever anniversary on Wednesday, March 26th!
Coincidentally, this also falls upon the same day as Hotel Grim's first birthday. Seeing as the two strips are basically the same except in art style, storyline, and characterization, this came as a totally surprise to no-one.
Come celebrate! Bring a friend.

Comic strip mirrors Caltech life
Submitted by kdreger on March 17, 2003 - 18:01
There's a story in the Pasadena Star News on Crippling Depression, a comic strip about life at Caltech.
Published in Caltech's student newspaper for nearly two years, the strip chronicles the highs and lows of life at the notoriously challenging school.
"It's supposed to be entirely fictional, but no one ever believes us, Wan said."
"There was a time when everyone assumed that whatever was happening in the comic was what was happening in our lives, like Tim's and Mike's parents," Lee said, laughing.
Watch Me Pull A Rabbit Out of My Hat!
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 11, 2003 - 13:37
Martin's Misdirection by James Burk is a sweet little comic strip about a magician and his bunny. Part of Outcast Studios, the comic still has a fairly small audience but seems emminently worth checking out if for no other reason than Burk has uncovered the secret behind the dastardly evil rebate scheme.
Mythocorp Returns to the Airwaves
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on March 3, 2003 - 12:33
The art is a little raw but the writing is a nice blend of corporate and topical satire mixed with some bizarre and inventive adventuresome plotlines. Plus it's got a hilarious rogues gallery of characters.
Back after a three month hiatus, Mythocorp by Kevin Wolf is worth checking out.
