Press Release: A Year's Worth of Silly Daddy Webcomics


There are now 365 full color Silly Daddy comics on SillyDaddy.net. That's enough all-ages profound or preposterous family comics to read a Silly Daddy webcomic every day for a whole year at no charge. For those that can't read, what are you doing reading a stupid press release? Just go and look at the pictures on SillyDaddy.net.

Comic Fencing Review of Gunnerkrigg Court and auf weidersehen


The Comic Fencing guys take a look a Gunnergrigg Court! Wait… why does that sound familiar? oh, right… I reviewed it on this site some months ago. Still, I reveled in the chance to take a look at it again. Opinions were split… two negatives, two positives. And I think [...]

It's Friday! Oh Thank Gawd...


This is the doggiest day of the doggiest month for me.  And almost all of the over-committed; under-performed threads of my life seem to be getting their equal short share of me.  Sigh...

CBR covers Gunnerkrigg Court, calling it the Harry Potter of webcomics.

LA Times has an article up about Zuda -- DC's monthly webcomics contest.
