Bad Machinery: The mysteries of Tackleford

Tackleford is a really, really weird place.  No, I’ve never been overseas, and I’m not entirely sure if Tackleford is a real place or not (what, google it?  Man, forget LEARNING) but I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that Tackleford is where the weirdness happens.  And anyone who has read the collected works [...]

Reddit: Great for Minecraft, hit or miss for comics

I’m new to Reddit. I wasn’t there in the beginning and I don’t know anything about its purported decline. I have no dog in that fight. After a few weeks of fiddling around with the site I have found it surprisingly addicting. Though I suppose I should not be as surprised as I was. After [...]

Post-Nuke: Proof that radiation poisioning is a slow killer

One of the first webcomics with a storyline that I began reading with any kind of consistency was a little comic called Post-Nuke.
