Strip Show: I

Welcome to Strip Show. As close to weekly as I can, I’ll be presenting two new webcomics for your reading pleasure. And not shitty webcomics. Fuck that. I’m bringing you the goods. The best of the intarweb. Well, the best of what I’ve seen. And I guess “best” is a pretty subjective term, at that…..hmm…. What was I saying? Who knows. Anyways….

First up is Hijinks Ensue, a webcomic by the extremely talented artist, Joel Watson. He’s a giant geek and it shows. I guess that’s a disclaimer of sorts. If you read his comics and scratch your head, you’re just not geek enough. Which, in the grand scheme of things isn’t a bad thing if you’re looking to ever get laid. Here are two recent comics that I really enjoyed. The second one requires a little knowledge of the plot of Requiem for a Dream. The really fucked-up thing about that movie is..well, everything. If you enjoy Joel’s work, visit his website and let him know it. He’s a great artist and hilarious to boot. Enjoy-

Next is Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. This one is definitely more accessible for the non-geeks than Hijinks Ensue, but no less intelligent. Zach Weiner really nails the type of humor that I love. Dry, witty and intelligent, his comics will almost always make me laugh out loud. Ok, that was a lie. I almost never laugh out loud. But they make me want to write LOL when I read them, so that’s kinda the same thing, right? Whatever. Here’s the link to his site. Visit it and give him much love. Not of the happy-ending-hand variety, unless that’s what you’re into. I mean love of the “Hey, you rock,” type. Well, shit. I guess either’s okay with me if it’s okay with him. Here are two of his strips that I really enjoyed.

Well, that’s it for this week. Next week, I’ll bring you two more of the best webcomics the internet pipes have to offer. Because I like you. And not just for your smoldering eyes of whatever color your eyes happen to be, either.
