How do you, the man or woman on the street, feel about them?

The Girl Genius Poll
The big news earlier this month was that Agatha Heterodyne of Girl Genius had finally stepped out of the castle… that castle that she had entered on February 2008. Unless Agatha locks herself back in the castle again, I’d say that this is the end of the arc.
Soooo… what did you think?
A Very Veteran’s Day Rage Comic
I know we like snarking on Rage Comics here, but Comics Alliance posted a fantastic one chronicling an 86 year old as he reflects on life, his experiences during war, his divorce, and his estranged children. It’s surprisingly touching, and the crude meme-based illustrations actually do a lot to add to the slap dash confessional feel. It’s almost like reading an essay as written by Kurt Vonnegut.
Random Quickie: Hobo Lobo of Hamelin
Hobo Lobo of Hamelin by Stevan Živadinović is one of those webcomics that are heavy on the Flash-like special effects, but man does it look pretty. The times when he uses sound does a great job setting the mood of an eerie woodsy landscape (which changes every time you scroll to the right). The layers succeed where other comics fail in creating a sense of depth. All around, an interesting experiment in the form that is also an enjoyable read.
