SUNDAY WEBCOMIC

UPDATE!!! - The perpetrator of A Cannonade of Hogwash has generously advised me of its new location.  He continues to accumulate a body of work of a remarkable consistency and I don't feel that my original assessment, "I know this guy is trying to be 'ironic' but I don't think he's quite making it," quite does it justice.  I don't think I was really into full swing with this project at the time.

We start this week's bumper assortment of SUNDAY WEBCOMICS with Blunderclod! by Susan Marie, a superhero parody in which instead of being heroic and good at everything the hero is inept and clumsy.  Instead.  I have selected it primarily because it is an example of the old-timey "ball nose" style of amateur cartooning, which I haven't seen in years.  Nowadays budding cartoonists have so many sources from which to copy that they rarely opt for ball-nose, which to my mind lends an especially untainted quality to this strip.

Bearly There is a diverse collection of gag strips and the one to which I have linked is especially outstanding in its SUNDAY WEBCOMICSy qualities.  Who among us could have come up with this?  Only Rob.

And in conclusion, P.S. is two comic strips in one.  Except for the very last one which is the one I linked to, which strangely does not actually contain the "P.S." which is the conceptual basis of the comic, the idea of which seems to me to have a comic and then another comic as a Post Script, hence the title.  That makes it extra SUNDAY WEBCOMICSy, the final strip betraying its fundamental concept like that.

Whee.
