Sinfest
Check out this sinfest strip:



This is why I like sinfest. I don't find the writing all that great to be honest. Sometimes it's cute or amusing, but that's about as far as it goes. But I love the art. A lot. It's probably the best art you can find in a webcomic today. It reminds me of Bloom County, only slightly mangafied (that's mangafied, not magnified. It's a word!)

In particular, it's panel 3 that does it for me here. No dialogue, but you know just what's happening, through his use of "###", which I love.

His religious humour is what attracted people to his comic in the first place, but I don't find it particularly funny or edgy, to be honest - usually the jokes are pretty flat and obvious, like this one. (I mean come on, how old is that joke?). Here's a recent one that's not bad I guess.

Most of the good strips are the ones with the cat and dog. Contrast these strips with PvP's Kirby + Scratch strips. I prefer sinfest. I think the characters are much better defined, more loveable, more true to their cat and dog essence.
