The Devil's ...

It started out innocently enough. I was chatting with my friend via Yahoo instant message, and he referred me to an online web comic called Something Positive. It was biting, and relatively funny. I liked how the creator kept his ideas relatively fresh, and his characters evolved over time. Something sorely lacking in both comic strips and comic books.


Well, one thing led to another, and I'm catching myself reading several online comics now.

The Devil's Pantie's is one. The main page is here, but if you have the time, I recommend starting at the beginning hereso you can watch how things progress. One thing; the author can't spell worth beans, so if that's in your menagerie of pet peeves, don't go. I assume she has some form of dyslexia. Usually that drives me nuts, I can't stand l33t, nor do I tolerate all that crap about misspelling words on purpose that some people insist on doing, because they think they're being 'creative'. Here, it seems quaint, cute even.

It's not War and Peace, nor is it even Calvin and Hobbes. It's kind of like watching a garden, not much appears to change, and yet over time, you see the subtleties and feel like an idiot trying to explain it to others.

I think one of the reasons I like the strip is that she has an affection for all things Batman, chunky boots, and hand to hand weaponry. What's not to like?
