Online Comic Strips, panels and experiments
I'm trying to avoid Dilbert and the usual stuff here.
- Magic Inkwell Comic Strip Theatre
- (Check the Cyber Strips). Cayetano Garza keeps poking at the edges of the comics medium to see what's behind the next corner. He conducts his experiments onto the nature of comics and electronicomics with a whimsical homage to the strips of the early part of the century (particularly the magical Krazy Kat - see my listing under Artists).

- Scott McCloud.com
- Scott is the author of Understanding Comics, the author/artist of Zot, and one of the most interesting and original thinkers in the medium. Don't miss the new ZOT! online comic on the Comic Book Resources site. For his own site he's created a playground for his experiments with layout, panel design, storytelling and whatever other boundaries of the medium he can push. Here are his online comics, but don't bypass the rest of the site.

- Helen, Sweetheart of the Internet
- See my comments at the top of the page.

- Sluggy Freelance
- A deleriously loopy, over-the-top daily strip by Pete Abrams that ranges from Star Trek and Tomb Raider parodies to college life and time travel. Features Bun-bun, the psychotic killer rabbit, an out-of-work Alien, a vampire baker and others too strange to mention. Go to the viewer guide and start from the beginning. The AJ and the Crudosaur episode features a cross-over with User Friendly (see below).

- User Friendly
- J. D. Illiad Frazer's majorly geekified daily strip that's become pretty ingrained into geek/Web culture. As if Dilbert were written from inside a UNIX box. There is a new paperback collection called Evil Geniuses in a Nutshell.

- Bill Mitchell's political cartoons
- Bill Mitchell is one of the pioneers of online-only political cartooning and, in particular, the use of animated GIF political cartoons. If the above link is out-of date, try here Part of CNN's All-Politics site.
