Papal Cipher

It’s a break from our usual politics today (even if some serious shit is going down *cough* Sotomayor *cough*) because I want to highlight some web comics much better than mine.

First and foremost, 6 Or 7 Popes is a crazy web comic that comes out bi-weekly (kind of, they’ve been slacking lately) about the last surviving popes in the universe. The art is wonderful on a strip by strip basis. However, the writing isn’t consistent (I suspect they have too many hands in the jar) and I’m not sure who exactly does the lettering but it’s all over the place giving it a widely inconsistent look but there are gems such as Hellephant, which I’m sure you can guess is ARE's favorite character. Anyway, check them out.

Second: Gone With The Blastwave. Written and drawn by a fella named Kimmo Lemetti. It’s a fantastic little strip about the apocalyptic war of Red, Blue, Yellow and the inability to escape a dying city. Funny as fuck and the art is stellar stuff, done all digital. Sadly, it never comes out with any kind of schedule making it hard to keep your interest. Check out Kimmo and his gotmorr.com site as well.

Finally, a great little strip called Cock N Bull. Always funny and the art is a great hand drawn mixture of Sunday funnies in your local newspaper and drawings a child would make. Reminds me of Are and Dee quite a bit and because I’m so narcissistic, I dig it.

Remember to support the arts. Even a hit on a website keeps creators going.
