Piece of Mind

by Glen Blake

College Roomies From Hell!!! By Maritza Campos. My personal favourite strip. Very funny, easy on the eyes, and often touching, the characters are extremely human and alive. CRFH!!! has the most alive community of any of the Keen comics, as far as I know.
Exploitation Now by Michael Poe. Don't let the name put you off! Exploitation Now started as, to quote the author, 'A silly little sex comedy'. Within a few months, however, it evolved into one of the most angst-ridden strips around, without ever being pompous or trying too hard. Often a very, very funny strip, too.
PVP by Scott Kurtz. The chronicles of a gaming magazine. This is seriously funny stuff. Just read it. You'll never, ever forget 'The Church of the Almighty Frag', or Brent's Mac awareness campaign, 'Macintosh: Some of us are getting laid tonight'
the Real Life of Greg Dean. By Greg Dean. The Real Life of Greg Dean. Somehow I doubt it, unless he's really a cartoon character whose cartoonist has been known to give out BattleMechs and Evas (Although there're more time machines) - funny stuff, and up there with my favourites. I want a BattleMech too!
Residence Life By Dana Kelly. Residence Life: An amusing strip about college life, and a squirrel called Beer. Need I say more? :D
Sluggy Freelance By Peter Abrams. Sluggy Freelance is a legend. Seriously, you will not be around webcomics for long without hearing of the mighty Sluggy. There's a reason this guy's been online for four and a half years. He's popular. He's successful. And he's popular and successful because he's good. Just read it. It's nifty.
The Clan of the Cats By Jamie Robertson Clan of the Cats is, unlike all the other links so far, NOT humor driven. There's some humor, but that's not the point of the strip. It just tells a really great story. A great strip.
Fans! By T. Campbell. Fans: The life of a bunch of fans. Not as dull as I made it sound just then, this strip really does have to be seen to be believed. It is one of the greats. Read it.
Sinfest By Tatsuya Ishida. Funny. Really, really funny. And blasphemous, and cool. And Tatsuya sticks some really cool things before his name. My favourite was 'Secret Asian Man'. Hee! This is a strip worth reading, simply because it's laugh out loud funny.
MegaTokyo By Fred Gallagher and Rodney Caston. The art here is simply beautiful. Really. I've had people say that some of my art (Sketches and things, not the strip!) is reminiscent of Piro's - If so, Piro was having a really bad day. Plus, the storylines are great. This is a really good strip.
Tangents by Robert A. Howard This strip is a spinoff from CRFH!!!, and is drawn by one of the more well known members of the community there. It's a good, solid strip, although I can't really pass judgement on it right now - too soon. But it looks like it'll shape up to be something special.

More will come soon, I promise. But I think this is enough for now. All of the comics I listed above are incredible. These are the artists who inspired me to add my own little creation to the rapidly growing world of webcomics. I am forever in their debt for brightening my life with their vision, and even more so for the inspiration they provide.
To all of you, my thanks.
