Since you can’t see me, hopefully anyways, I am raising my hand. I found this comic a few months ago and have been gorging myself on its archives.
Mythology, fantasy, fairy tales, monsters, humor. I love the world that Happle Tea lives in. So much so that I really got carried away with this piece. When I was deciding what to draw, all my favorite strips flooded my brain. I couldn’t just draw Lil K, it wouldn’t have been enough. I needed to draw everything in a vain attempt to visit the world of Happle Tea just for a little while. I really want to bring that full world type of story telling into my own comic.
The writer/artist Scott Maynard has a great sense of humor. Whether putting a unique spin on a favorite fairy tales or just coming out of left field with some kind of clever insanity, I always found myself showing my girlfriend another strip she just had to read. To top it all off, he’s just a great artist. It’s a charming, storybook style but with a bit of a biting edge.
Don’t take my word for it. Go read it.
I’m always on the lookout for a great read. So if you have any comics you can’t live without, please pass it my way. Comics, webcomics, a Kickstarter, whatever.
And, hm. Webcomics. I haven't been reading much of them later.
As far as traditional comics go, there's Scud: The Disposable Assassin. Sci fi comedy action romance about a killer robot who was supposed to self destruct after eliminating his target, but, fearing death, decides to cripple her and put her on life support, taking freelance work to pay his bills. I think you'd really like that one! Probably my favorite thing ever.
The original issues by now should be impossible to find outside of internet downloads, but a couple years back Image released a paperback with 800 pages, collecting all of the issues and a couple relevant spin offs, and you can get that for 20 bucks on Amazon. Totally worth it.
My favorite thing is when you see the progress from the first strips to the latest ones. I love seeing that in an artist! The comic content is pure bliss.
Probably my number one web comic right now is [link] by
It is pretty amazing.

One of my favorites for sure.
