So, this is a bit late but I doubt anyone really reads this blog so I'll just cover all the remaining comics I read online. The remaining webcomics I read are: Flaky Pastry, Sinfest, Girls with Slingshots (NSFW), and Menage a 3 (NSFW). Flaky Pastry is a fun webcomic about a bunch of different 'magical' girls and their lives in an apartment/college. By 'magical' I mean elves, dwarves, catgirls, androids, etc. It is actually quite fun and is updated on Fridays. Sinfest is a comic about life including the Devil and God of Christian beliefs, but also has characters like Buddha interacting with a host of characters. The style is quite cartoony and mainly black and white but is updated daily, including Saturdays and with a full color page on Sundays as of late. There is a lot of diversity in the characters and their interactions so I find that one a quick and refreshing daily read. Girls with Slingshots is...NSFW. That pretty much sums it up, same goes for Menage a 3. Girls with slingshots deals with lesbianism and other adult topics along with the nature of post college graduates and how life goes. It is updated Monday through Friday. The art is quite good but I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you don't like foul language and adult situations in cartoon form. Menage a 3 deals heavily with the issue of bisexuality and homosexuality, both male and female. The main premise is the main character is a virgin and gets two female roommates when his two former roommates turn out to be gay and move out. It is updated Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Pretty much that wraps up all of the webcomics I read currently. If I begin to read other comics, they'll likely appear in WDs which will start up again soon...ish. With that I hope you enjoyed webcomic week and if you like the site, keep reading when I post.

Webcomic Week Days 4 and 5
So I didn't put up a new webcomic yesterday because I just moved in to my new dorm room, which btw is quite nice. Instead, I will be putting up two comics today. The two I have for you are Para-Ten and The Meek. Para-Ten is a story about a young girl named Paveline who is separated from her brother in an accident and who then makes it her goal to make it back to her home. Along her journeys she encounters many things and meets many people. At least that's the premise. Para-Ten has only been actively running in its current form for 3 chapters, but it looks like it'll be a fun and enjoyable ride. Also, the art is absolutely gorgeous. Unlike most of the other comics, Para-Ten is done with brush art so it has a much different feel to it from normal inked comics. In any case Para-Ten is definitely a good comic and one you should read if you love good art.
The Meek is also a comic in its third chapter but the true story does not seem to have built itself up quite yet. In the first chapter we have a young girl much like Paveline who needs to go find a city on the bequest of her "grandfather". However, chapter 2 takes you to a whole different place and chapter 3 does the same. Regardless, the art is quite good and the storytelling itself is done in quite good taste so I have no complaints of that nature. While I personally enjoyed Para-Ten more, The Meek is also shaping up to be quite a good comic and definitely worth a view.

Webcomic Week Day 3
To continue Webcomic Week, I present to you Dr. McNinja. As you might imagine the comic is about a doctor who also happens to be a ninja, what could possibly go wrong with a premise like that? Add in a gorilla sidekick, more ninjas, Ben Franklin clones, vampires, cowboys, and raptors and you've got Dr. McNinja in a nutshell. Oh, and pirates, there are pirates too. Like Hanna, Dr. McNinja is arranged in sets similar to Hanna's chapters but longer and not placed as closely chronologically, hard to tell I suppose though. Dr. McNinja has great art and is updated MWF with relative consistency although they sometimes appear a day late. There's a lot of humor and awesome art, not to mention ninjas. I recommend reading from the start, but that only really gives backstories on characters so picking a story to start off is just as good. Stay tuned for more Webcomic Week and enjoy Dr. McNinja.

Webcomic Week Day 2
For the second day of Webcomics Week, I will be introducing the first webcomic that I read regularly, Questionable Content (QC). Unlike Happle Tea or Hanna, QC focuses more on the mundane parts of the world. Calling it a simple boy meets girl comic wouldn't do it justice since the author, Jeph Jacques, likes to add a lot of girls into his story. I won't spoil it, but he doesn't end up with the girl you think he will at the beginning. In any case, my favorite part of the comic is that you can see the author's drawing style grow and evolve from the beginning to its current art. Also, he has a good number of interesting characters who are mainly female, of which most work in the fictional coffee shop "Coffee of Doom". It is also good to note that this is one of the longest running and popular webcomics that I read. The author also makes a living off the comic from selling merchandise and ad space, a dream for many a budding artist. In any case, Questionable Content is a great comic and hey, you don't have to read it if you don't want to. My words only mean so much after all. QC updates every weekday and is something you should definitely check out if you have the time. Another note, QC might not be the most work safe comic, much less so than Happle Tea at the least.
