Beastly Thoughts - Superlative single panel funnies, from the devious mind of Joyce Melton!

El Goonish Shive - One of the most bizarre (and coolest) comics on Keenspot!  Brought to you thrice weekly by Dan Shive

Waxtadpoles Anonymous - Somewhat autobiographical comics by the incomparable Blayne Scott!

PopCap Games - Warning: stay the hell away from this site if you don't have any time to waste!!  These games will chew up your time like it's going out of style!

Sluggy Freelance- If you've never before heard of this strip featuring two clueless young men, their long-suffering lady friend, a psychotic switchblade-wielding bunny, a ravenous alien, and a hyperactive ferret, then you, my friend, are in for a treat.  The scary part is that I don't think creator Pete Abrams has hit his stride yet.  Yes, the strip is nifty, and you will worship it.  Updated daily.  Not only did I create Kiki Shrugged, the Ayn Rand-inspired Sluggy story I wrote and drew while Pete took a vacation, I'm currently drawing Meanwhile In the Dimension of Pain for Pete on (most) Saturdays!  To see the first MITDOP strip, click here!

The Dilbert Zone- check out the daily adventures of Scott Adams' hapless comics creation. For my money, Dilbert is the best syndicated comic strip on the go today. If you work in an office environment, guaranteed you'll see yourself in this strip.

Calvin and Hobbes - possibly the best syndicated comic strip ever created. Bill Watterson is a genius. A strip that is sorely missed, but can be enjoyed again at this link.
As well, I urge you to read "The Cheapening of the Comics", the text of a speech Bill Watterson once gave. This speech may partially explain why Watterson is no longer working on Calvin and Hobbes. It'll also give you an idea as to why I am no longer actively seeking a syndicated spot for Bruno.

Freefall- my favorite internet-only comic strip, written and drawn by Mark Stanley. Would kick ass on any newspaper's comics page, if any of the major syndicates were willing to take a chance on a science fiction comic strip. Updated every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

Kevin and Kell- great strip by Bill Holbrook, a pioneer in the Internet comics field (and fellow Plan Nine cartoonist).  Kevin is a brawny rabbit, Kell is a petite she-wolf.  Despite their differences, they've fallen in love, and have a successful (if somewhat bizarre) marriage.  Updated daily.  Also, Bill is responsible for two superb syndicated comic strips.  Call your local newspaper and demand they start running On the Fastrack, and Safe Havens, if they aren't already.

Sheldon- irresistible daily comic strip by Dave Kellett, about a 10 year old billionaire computer whiz-kid, his talking duck, and his grandfather.  I was thoroughly charmed by this one, as you will be.  Great artwork, terrific writing, and now syndicated!

Superosity- another classic internet-only comic strip by the talented Chris Crosby, that can at best be described as brutally funny.  Think of it as a cross between Bloom County and The Simpsons.  Runs in glorious color 7 days a week, with a full-size Sunday strip.

Toy Trunk Railroad- it's impossible not to like this wonderfully offbeat daily comic strip by fellow Plan Niner Erik Sansom, featuring the adventures of a toy-train hobbyist, his wife, and the people who live in the train's small world.  All aboard!

Tom the Dancing Bug- I'm still scratching my head over how a weekly comic strip as good as this one managed to get syndicated. Cartoonist Ruben Bolling must be blackmailing someone. Whatever the case, Tom is a fantastic strip that cracks me up just about every time I read it. Some of the best satire you'll ever read can be found here.

Hyperbooks- terrific online bookstore run by Terry Austin, specializing in science fiction and fantasy material.  If Terry doesn't have what you're looking for, chances are, nobody does!

Phlip C. Plumlee's Home Page - Some of  the most bizarre and inventive comics and fiction you'll ever encounter in this reality, or any other. Is creator Phlip C. Plumlee a genius, or a raving lunatic (or a bit of both)? Click the link, and decide for yourself.  Also, read Hat Trick, Phlip's latest!

The Comics I Don't Understand Page- definitely one of my favorite websites. Each week, Bill Bickel features several comic strips on this page: strips which he assumes are meant to be funny, but which he just didn't get. Readers are invited to e-mail Bill with explanations (or best guesses, anyway) as to what the featured strips are about. You are also encouraged to submit any puzzling comic strips that you come across. I just hope Bruno ain't one of them. ;-)

The Sunday Comix- a great collection of some of the best Internet comic strips you will ever come across. You could spend hours at this site. Not only is webmaster Angus Elijah helping to pay for the comics he hosts, he's also in the process of putting together a "comicspaper" of sorts, and Bruno the Bandit will be part of it.

Thieves & Kings- This is the official website for Thieves & Kings, a bi-monthly comic book written, drawn, and published by Mark Oakley. For my money, Thieves & Kings is the best comic book on the go today. This site provides you with a thorough introduction to the T&K world, with plenty of background on the characters and setting, artwork samples, and of course, a place to order the books.  If you like Bruno, I can guarantee that you'll enjoy Thieves & Kings.

Knights of the Dinner Table - this comic book/strip is a must-read for RPG'ers, or even for anyone who likes a good laugh.  I have recently become a rabid fan of the Knights. To sample the strip for yourself, click here to read the online version.  And if that ain't enough for ya, there's always...

HoodyHoo Cartoons- episodes from KoDT, done as Flash animations.  Excellent stuff!  Roll for initiative, Monkey-boy!

General Protection Fault- cool techie strip by Jeff Darlington. Join Nick, Fooker, Dwayne, Ki, and trhe nefarious Trudy for some high-tech yuks!  Best of all, the strip features two, count 'em, two talking slime molds!! GPF now runs 7 days a week, with the  Sunday strips in full color.

The Aphelion Webzine- a site featuring some spectacular science fiction and fantasy stories from some of today's most promising writers. If you're looking for tomorrow's Robert Jordan, Isaac Asimov, or Anne McCaffrey, you may just find them here...

SETI@Home- now you can use your computer to help in the search for signs of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe.  The more computers we have working on the problem, the better a chance we have of finding something (if there's something to be found), so please, go to the site, and download the software.  Hey, your computer could be the one that makes one of the biggest discoveries of all time!

M.C. Escher- you may not know the name, but you've probably seen his artwork.  If you haven't, you're in for a treat.  Escher could best be described as the Einstein of graphic artists.  I am in awe of his work!  This site has a large gallery of his more intriguing works.

Book-A-Minute Science Fiction/Fantasy- Don't have time to read all the classics of science fiction and fantasy?  Well, worry no more!  Now you can read highly condensed versions of  the best known works of Fantasy and SF, each in under a minute!

HTML World- this webpage belongs to my nephew, Matthew Hancock.  He's at the age where he's almost as tall as I am, which means I can't beat him up any more.  In fact, he now beats me up, and after our last fight, he forced me to include his page here in the Cream of the Crop section.  Actually, it's a great page which includes plenty of information on HTML and JavaScript.  A good place to start for would-be webpage builders.  Okay Matthew, you can stop twisting my arm now...

Bad Speller - from the warped mind of Tim Peckham, a fellow Newfoundlander...
Barstow Productions- Short stories, comic strips, and single panel 'toons abound here. includes The Imp- a comic strip that's really about Life In Hell.
