clearly the market sees a desperate need. Would-be syndicated
cartoonists take note!
_Eek!_, Scott Nickel.
Premise: Panel strip. Heavily pun-based.
Pros: Provides a steady stream of pun and often nerd-flavored
jokes.
Cons: You know, like every other panel strip.
My Verdict: Skip.
Your Verdict: ?
_The Elderberries_, Corey Pandolph.
Premise: We're-all-crazy-here strip set at a retirement
center.
Pros: Engagingly weird characters. Silly plots. Dusty and
Ludmilla are particularly funny.
Cons: Character designs may bug you. Dusty and Ludmilla are
also stock jokes.
My Verdict: Read.
Your Verdict: ?
Endtown_, Aaron Neathery.
Premise: Story strip set in the furry-versus-cyberman
apocalypse.
Pros: Artwork. Original setting. Sympathetic furry characters.
Good pace and story development.
Cons: Depressing setting. I can't work out the economic logic
of an underground city that supports street lamps, mobile spy
cameras, and camembert, but sends people to the surface for
five-year-old cans of beans to feed its population.
My Verdict: Read, verging on must-read.
Your Verdict: ?

Uh oh. This is the first installment where I can't say anything because
I haven't read any of the strips! That won't stop me from posting to
maintain my perfect record of replying, though. Er, and to say "keep it
up," of course.

I've been reading Endtown since it was strictly a webcomic. It's a
must-read for me. Though some might get thrown by the fridge logic
(the aforementioned street lamps and such) and the deep archive
(where most of the backstory is).

In the past we would have had Ernie (pre Piranha Club). I don't
remember reading that many E's.

There's "Edge City," but that's not part of this project because it's
a King Features strip and not available on Gocomics.com.

And apparently the only project on which Corey Pandolph can maintain a
regular schedule. I suspect that his editors have him locked away in a
room and he receives his daily rations only when a comic strip is
produced.

Definite read. I love the quirky and sometimes weird events that
surround these characters.

Sorry, I just don't "get" furry comics. "Kevin and Kell" is the only
exception and the logic of that universe evades me sometimes.

In my past there was
Eek and Meek, Eb and Flo, Encyclopedia Brown, Emmy Lou (Bobby Sox),
and Ted Richards' underground strip E. Z. Wolf's Astral Outhouse.
My Momma would have been reading
Etta Kett and Ella Cinders.
Grandpappy, in on the ground floor of newspaper comics,
had Everett True (aka The Outbursts of Everett True).

=v= What happened to Meek?
=v= It's kind of like that George Carlin line where he talks
about going to Sears and wondering what happened to Roebuck.
