Internet Sensations – A review of the finest comics on the web.
I found myself faced with yet another quandary when researching and writing this month’s column, dear reader. The theme of this month is Internet Sensation, and so I was saddled with the unenviable task of reviewing the vast and daunting world of Web based comics. At first my biggest problem seemed to be steeped in my capitalistic principles. How could I, the leading purveyor of comic related entertainment in the Greater Santa Cruz Metropolitan Area reconcile reviewing, nay even recommending, fine comical stories that one could find and enjoy for (shudder) free on the interwebs with my base, nearly genetic, need to sell comics to the hopefully unsuspecting public? How indeed?! But this conflict of morals was short lived and quickly resolved. Sure, you can enjoy…or at least read, thousands of comic-themed tales on the World Wide Web, and not a single dollar will trickle into my hard-working and well-deserving hands. But the more you do read the more you will become transfixed. You will come to crave comicy-goodness in all its forms, free and otherwise. And then, in a fevered trance, sweat pouring from your aching cerebellum, you will enter my shop, unaware of how you even came to be there, and shout, “Give me more comics! Gimme, Gimme, Gimme!’. And then dear reader, you shall be mine.

So here you are. A taste of the finest, and foulest, the internet has to offer. Go ahead. Yes, it is free. The first one is always free…Bwah Ha….Bwah Ha Ha Ha…Bwah Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha….ahem… (more…)
