You know, web instead of print, get it?

Meh. Time for news from the inbox!

First off Allan Clark wants us to direct to your his comic Small Shenanigans, which seems to mix hand-drawn art with photo-backgrounds. So drop by and tell him we sent you.

Next we have another Zuda comic wanting to spread the word about itself, this time courtesy of Bobby Timony. The comic is called “The Night Owls” and is about a couple of supernatural detectives in 1920s New York. Even better, it seems to update every Thursday at five o’clock and it’s a project handled by twins. :D Bobby draws and Peter writes. So check out a comic run on twin-power!

Unfortunately, that’s all we’ve recieved since the last post, so send us your news dagnabbit!

Spotlight: Scandal Sheet!

What would you do if you discovered that all the world’s secrets — from mythological creatures to aliens and paranormal activity — were true? How would you protect these secrets from the rest of humanity?

The answer is simple: “The best place to hide a needle isn’t a haystack,”  says character Mr. Detweiler. “It’s a big pile of other needles.”

Such is the basis behind Scandal Sheet, Troy Smith’s spec-fi/comedy webcomic devoted to the characters who guard those secrets: the employees of The Comet, a tabloid to rival Weekly World News in its plausibility. The difference? The writers of this rag write those true stories of aliens and magical creatures, and include them in the paper. Positioned next to stories such as “I Gave Birth To 61 Rabbits”, they fail to register as truth on anyone’s radar.

The plot centers around journalism-school graduate and former porn writer Foster Hearst, and his best-friend-slash-partner, Max Murdock. With a cast of humans, vampires, sasquatchi, and yes, even lawyers, Scandal Sheet is as amusing as it is unique, and definitely worth a read.
