I'm back.

This week I'm going to cover some of the comics I read regularly.

Today I'll cover some of the "oldies", web comics that have been around for over 10 years. (I swear, it seems weird typing that.)

Sluggy Freelance. At 15 years old, this is almost the granddaddy of webcomics. I'm not sure how accessible it is to anyone who hasn't been reading it for years, and as a whole, it is a huge, rambling thing, with sidetrack stories and its own involved mythology. Still I enjoy reading it.

Sinfest. Probably the most professional looking of this bunch, and the strip that 90% of the time you could imagine running in newspaper syndication (remember those days?)

Something Positive. Very much a character driven comic, that takes place in something vaguely like the real world. Sarcastic, funny, sometimes bitter, but strangely upbeat much of the time. It also has a huge number of secondary characters that have drifted in and out of the comic over the years.

The Devil's Panties. "Not Satanic Porn". This is a bit different than the others, being a largely autobiographical comic, though with things exaggerated for humour value. It naturally centers around the life of the author, Jennie Breeden.
