In which: nothing of interest.

... But, for anyone who might be interested, here's some stuff I read on the internet regularly. I like finding new webcomics, so I'll put this out here in the hopes of repaying favours I owe to the internet... I read xkcd and Girl Genius, but I'm assuming anyone likely to like those knows of their existence already. Here are a couple of other things:

Inhuman is science fiction webcomic that I've been following for about three years, during which its art's changed massively. The art's hugely detailed - it's drawn in ink, markers and watercolour, and the detail in every page shows - but despite that it's updated once a week ever since I've been reading. The setting's a Star Wars-esque alien-populated future in which humans dominate a social philosophy-cum-religion that forms the winning side of a civil war, and the plot revolves around medic on the side of the Resistance against that, her alcoholic (but more reasonable) brother, and a human kidnapped by the resistance. It's a good read, and admittedly while the early art seems clumsy compared to the current style, it's awesome to see the author develop their visual style.

Gunnerkrig Court is better known, but if you haven't come across it, it's the kind of thing you'd see described as a modern fairytale: centring on a girl named Antimony Carver and the strange boarding school she lives in, the comic is separated into story arcs that for the most part are self-contained; they gradually reveal more about the characters and the setting but form short stories in themselves. There's mythology, stuffed toys, clockwork robots, a very odd curriculum, and a whole host of hidden details in the art-work. Oh, and in one of the newest story arcs, there are laser cows.
