Online Strips

I am an avid fan of online comics.  For some reason, I feel that comic strips are not worth buying unless it's a graphic novel or it's Calvin and Hobbes.  Right now I am following two comics that are completely different from each other.


(Piled Higher and Deeper) PHD Comics
(updated 2-3 times a week)

Reminds me so much when I was studying for my Compre.

I stumbled upon this a couple of weeks ago and I couldn't stop reading simply because I could relate to it.  It reminded me of the days when I was taking my Masters degree in UP; of my jobs that were funded by government/international agencies; of the days my sister was still with a consultancy firm and was also teaching.

My sister kindly gave me a link about the creator of this strip. I am impressed with his resume.  Truly a brilliant mind with a great sense of humor. 


Freak Angels
(updated every Monday, US-time)

I can't remember how I came to know about this strip.  But with this first panel, I was hooked.  There is just something about it that made me read through.

The strip focuses on 12 people who share some kind of power.  It tells the story of how they help rebuild the world they actually destroyed.

Apart from it's unpredictable story, I love the artwork of this comic.  Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield make an amazing pair as seen in their work in Freak Angels.
