Zen Pencils




I just got turned on to this website: Zen Pencils, where the cartoonist, Gavin Aung, takes inspirational quotes and draws cartoons based on them.  I think this is a fantastic idea, and he pulls it off well.  I was originally linked to this based on his Bill Watterson comic.

Calvin and Hobbes is very likely the best newspaper comic ever and I recommend you check out the Bill Watterson comic.

Zebra Girl



Zebra Girl is the first serialized webcomic I ever got into.  I was going to call it a 'serious' webcomic, but it started out being quite silly.  It is an old comic (started in May, 2000) and over the years it has evolved into a more generally serious tone, with a refined art style and a lush mythos.

When I first got into Zebra Girl, I marathoned the first five or so years of comics.  It doesn't take long to get going, and there is plenty of content when you start from the beginning.  I recommend giving it a go.  If you like it at all, please know that it only gets better.

The tragedy of Zebra Girl is that, for all its quality illustration and blooming storyline, the creator, Joe England, has had less and less time to keep it updated.  He has also made it clear that he doesn't make a dime off of his work with Zebra Girl.   For these reasons I would like to promote Zebra Girl more than any other comic.  I think that Joe has real storytelling talent, and I'd like him to get more recognition for his work.
