Today is the tenth anniversary of the Simpsons TV series (ie, not including their Christmas special or their original appearances on The Tracy Ullman Show). Imagine that: Ten years. I remember when people were up in arms about Bart's antics, when the President of the United States singled it out as a sign of problems in our society. Now, families sit down to watch it together. Ten years. Boggles the mind. #
Long ago, Stefan Gagne made approving noises about Sluggy Freelance, a popular on-line comic. (Which, like all on-line comics, has at least one character with a net-related job.) I finally sat down to browse the archive earlier this week, and I have to say I'm sorry I waited so long. This is some good stuff. The concept starts out simple, but the plot manages to get fiendishly complex in points while maintaining a daily punchline. And it has a cute animal sidekick who outdoes Dogbert in terms of malice. How can you go wrong? #
