the boring leading the bored
Thursday, March 31, 2005
snark.so i read this site called "websnark.com." it's a blog by this fellow who basically just reviews webcomics and, as of recently, also writes one. it's interesting to read, as someone who prefers "something positive" to "somethingawful.com" (not linked because i dont care) and "cat and girl" to "collegehumor.com" (once again...). This isnt a dig at those who like humor sites. i think they're funny (well, not somethingawful), definitely, but i just dont spend my jillions of internet hours looking at them. i read webcomics, and i read websnark.
websnark is great not necessarily because i am looking for really good reviews of webcomics, but because it introduces me to new comics. which means less boredom while online, because i obviously cant just just get a life. another positive aspect of websnark is eric's writing style. it's casual and conversational, and he's consistently a pretty nice guy. i mean, he's a critic, but if he's too harsh, he apologizes. he's always ready for a debate on his opinions. he runs a fine site. i guess it's kind of interest-specialized, so i dont know if you'd really care to read it, but i just thought i'd put in a kind word for him. and also mention that he's inspired me a little.
somewhere within the last four years i picked up the critic's spirit ("cinematic gem," anyone?). i blame mr. hayward. but regardless of who's at fault and whether i should cut it the hell out (i should), i might, or might not, start writing more reviews. shrug.
really this all just a setup for another link. i found this through websnark, and i really like it. it reminds me of some of mike newell's stuff. the art is nice, the story is short, but very well put-together. i can appreciate the attitude portrayed, and i think many of you might, also. here's to the american working/schooling population.
