thewayneIt's been a while since I made a new YAWC post, and for anyone who has forgotten, YAWC stands for Yet Another Web Comic. I have a submenu button bar thing labeled Breakfast in Firefox and it opens 43(!) web comics every morning for me, along with Wired, Slashdot, and Angry Zen Master for news fixes.
I read Unshelved every day, and today's Sunday strip was by another webcomic artist, Chris Eliopoulos, a rare event. Chris has been nominated for Eisner and Harvery awards and actually makes a living as a freelance illustrator and has several mainline comicbooks for Marvel and DC to his credit.
His comic, Misery Loves Sherman is a pretty decent strip about a kid who's always getting beaten up by his little sister and happens to have two aliens living in his room. Christ started it on the last day of 2007 and has broken the 300 mark! Has a bit of a Calvin & Hobbs feel (IMO) along with some good contemporary criticism.
Check it out, you might like it. I've just started on the archive, hopefully I can stretch it out for a few days.
