Questionable Content
If you’re still getting your comic-strip entertainment in dead-tree form, you’re missing out big-time. There’s much better stuff available on the Intarwebs.
One of the better online comics out there is Questionable Content by Jeph Jacques. The man has an ear for witty dialogue, and the characters have more depth than the sarcastic repartee would lead you to believe at first. And reading Jeph’s work is my sole claim to knowing anything about the indie scene.
I’m not so keen on his accasional forays into high-tech absurdity; Marten and Faye’s world seems identical to ours, except for the sentient, and somewhat perverse, little anthropomorphic personal computers roaming around. But I guess that’s just some of that “magical realism” stuff the kids today seem to like so much.
Now if only Jeph would go back to doing more on his Indietits strip (not what you think it is), all would be right with the world.
Anyway: click, read, and enjoy.
