I haven’t written much about this here, but lately I’ve been mourning the loss of several of my favorite little lights: the largely introspective comic strips m@b by Matthew Blackett, and Bruno by Christopher Baldwin. Also, the largely irreverent Mac Hall has changed into Three Panel Soul, which seems to be struggling to regain its cheerfulness, even before all the crap went down.
Some other strips have been taking their place, kind of – most notably the beautiful All Over Coffee and the deeply surreal A Softer World, but it’s not quite the same. I don’t know how I’ll cope if Achewood or Scary-Go-Round ever fold, or, for that matter, Questionable Content. And no, Shannon, I still haven’t quite gotten into Sluggy Freelance.
