Webcomic rec

ruuger recced this, and I'm going to second it:

The Abominable Charles Christopher

It's like one part Walt Kelly, one part Totoro, and one part The Epic of Gilgamesh. Engaging characters, a lushly imagined setting, and dreamlike, multi-stranded plotting, but there's a story in there; the whirls and eddies of the plot aren't just po-mo narrative deconstruction for its own sake. The writer isn't afraid to hit where it hurts: there's humor, pathos, and suspense in equal measure. Plus the artwork is flat-out gorgeous brushwork reminiscent of the golden age of newspaper adventure comics.
