sinfest


I've talked a bit about how much I love the webcomics genre, and today's Sinfest (see above) reminded me of how much I love this one strip. Sometimes narrative, often ridiculous, unexpectedly touching, with both God and the Devil showing up frequently, Sinfest is nothing if not unique. And did I mention the art? Cos the art is good. Artist Tatsuya Ishida has been at it since January 2000 and shows no signs of slowing down.

One of the most interesting things you'll find with Sinfest is the periodic calligraphy strip. For example:


There are two Sinfest strips which were on my walls in every dorm I lived in in college, and they remain my favs. I leave you with these:


Have a good Friday!
