I love web comics. I love finding new ones that have hundreds of strips to catch up on and I love spending a whole day or evening or hour at work just going back and back reading and giggling to myself.
My most recent find is Hark! A Vagrant, which you can tell by its title is absolutely awesome. Even more awesome: there are a bunch of literary comics in the collection, a lot that are influenced by historical events and figures, and all of them flat-out hilarious.
Like so:
HA! As much as I am not a great fan of Austen or the Brontes, I love it when they show up in the comics.
My very most favorites:
- “Daddy Smash” almost steals the show from Teddy. Almost.
- Don’t cry, Tits!
- H!AV does MacBeth
- Mary Shelley vs Lord Byron
- Ooooh, Mister Darcy!
- Happy July 4th!
- Oh, Santa
- Nightingale vs Seacole
- Ode to Murphy Brown
But really. Go read them all.
