I had no idea Tales of Mere Existence was a web series when I picked the book up! It makes it so much more awesome because now I hear the guys voice when I read the comics.
I heartily recommend watching all of the short animations found here:

A few of his more risqué videos have been taken down by Youtube which doesn't surprise me in the least bit. Man Youtube, you used to be so cool, what happened? I still love you but I'm sort of embarrassed to tell people we hang out. Frankly, I think we should see other people. I'm taking Vimeo out on a date tonight, just thought I'd let you know. She doesn't judge me for watching slightly dirty videos like you do. No I haven't been seeing that slut Pornhub. She scares me quite a bit, actually. No, don't cry! Umm...uh, its not you, its me!
Ha ha, I need to get to bed...

Angora Napkin!
So I finally got my copy of Troy Little's Angora Napkin book in the mail. I was expecting a slim little paper back comic so imagine my surprise when I got a thick hardcover book! And also imagine my surprise when I couldn't stop reading it! Listen up all yea starved for awesome cartoony comics that are just a tad bit on the adult side, here is your Saviour. Zombies! Undead parties! Bubblegum pop! Boob grabbing! Useless priests! Salad!
I'm not going to give away any real plot details so I guess this is kind of a paltry review but it gets a very high recommendation from this random person on the Internet.
Order here!

Cool Comix!
Writing is one of the few things I'm actually sort of good at. I don't have a smidgen of illustrative talent, I suck at most sports other than running (which I've always loved to do), other than the trumpet in high school musicality has eluded me, and I'm not good at talking to girls. The fact that I can't draw is probably the most frustrating thing but I think it helps me appreciate really good art when I see it. Ever since I was a little kid I've loved cartoons and comics. The Far Side and Calvin and Hobbes were my favorite comics when I could get my hands on them and probably helped to shape a good deal of my world view. I got kind of gipped on TV cartoons though. Saturday morning was already lying in its bed, wheezing and waiting to be put out of its misery by the time I was of cartoon watching age. Plus we were poor and didn't have cable so I only had three channels to pick from. Hear that you young whipper snapper kids, three channels! I'll leave my ruminations on how I finally got to see Ren and Stimpy and that glorious day when we finally did get basic cable for another post. All I really wanted to do was make a list of my favorite webcomics.
With the newspapers endlessly running bland crap for old people to chuckle over their morning coffee (with the possible exception of Get Fuzzy) where does a comics fan go who isn't the slightest bit amused at Marmaduke leaving a bone on his master's chair or that hideous mutated blob called Ziggy? Why the web of course! The problem with comics on the Internet is the same thing wrong with much of the web, its blessing and its curse is that almost anyone can create something and post it up. For every good well drawn one you find theres 50 stick figure comics about video games. Here's some wheat among the chaff that I've managed to find:
Dumm Comics!
Talented funny people doing awesome funny comics, a must! I really can't say enough good about this site, I love it to death!
Cul De Sac
Most newspaper comics suck, but this one is very very good. I only read it on the web though, so I count it as a webcomic.
Kate Beaton
Her style is a bit crude but I get really get a kick out of her stuff, plus she lives in Canada, how aboot that?
Subnormality
If you're a fan of Nickleback, do not read this site, the Sphinx will eat you. Updates every Monday, if the author finishes on time.
The Perry Bible Fellowship
Unfortunately not updating anymore, but you can still browse the archives. PBF is like an extreme version of The Far Side. If that turns you off, then for the sake of your constitution, please proceed with caution.
Daisy Owl
A sweet and funny comic about two kids being raised by an owl and a bear. Start with the archive and read forward.
Those are the ones that I like enough to check regularly. Any suggestions for good stuff that I'm missing?
