Also creators, J.Cheng & H.B.Flyte, have done a nice job using the blogging software, WordPress, to run the archives for their site.
The Epilogue: Smart Literature Webcomic Humor
Submitted by Xaviar Xerexes on January 28, 2005 - 18:06
Only a couple of episodes in the archives so far but for a literary geek like myself, The Epilogue by Reva Sharp is a clever idea filled with boundless possibilities. Taking place in the afterlife, the comic is filled with characters based on famous writers like Mark Twain, e.e. cummings, Slyvia Plath, etc.
The art is a bit... rough at this point and not every strip has delivered actual funny, but I'm just so taken with the concept that I can overlook that for now. Be sure to check it out.

Spamusement Hits Comic #100
Submitted by stevenf on October 13, 2004 - 13:58
Spamusement has reached comic #100. If you haven't seen the comic, it take subject lines from the headers of spam email, and as the creator puts it "[I] let their creative brilliance fuel my artistic vision, where 'artistic vision' is defined here as 'crude line drawings.'"
This is a funny webcomic folks and although in some ways it feels a bit like Exploding Dog, the absurd nature of spam subject lines veers the material here in a funnier direction than the broader emotional palette of Sam Brown.
Definitely worth checking out.
