POP QUIZ
1) What comic do you have the longest or most important relationship with?
2) What webcomic do you miss the most?
3) Which webcomic do you wish you could see more of (i.e. would update more frequently)?
4) What is your latest webcomic discovery?
My answers:
1) Girl Genius, to which I was introduced by theithych (with this page, I believe) and I've re-read approximately 70 bazillion times. I know I've extolled its virtues many times before, but it bears repeating. Also the only webcomic available in printed form in my apartment. Runners up include Nukees (sensing a Mad Science pattern here?) and QC, but neither of them fill me with the kind of breathless anticipation before an update that GG does - seriously, I'll stay up at night until the update comes. If I had to pick a page to sum it up... it's already been done for me.
2) I miss Men In Hats quite a bit. The website puts it best:
3) Dresden Codak is one of my current favorites - the new storyline is engaging and poignant, in a post-morality purpose kind of way - but it seems to update on a geological time scale. But, philosophy role-playing game!
4) New webcomic (new to me, that is), and the reason I wrote this entry: Templar, Arizona. If you're not familiar with it, read the archives - it'll be one of the stranger and more delicious hours you'll spend. Or, I think it was an hour... but I may have lost track of time. It's culture fiction about a place in an alternate history, delightfully and exuberantly portrayed.
So, what have you got for me? Don't adhere to strictly to the questions. Change 'em if it makes for better answers.

Men in Hats is the gripping story of 6 guys who stand around in the desert... talking... sometimes they have breakfast.Bitterly clever, it illustrates all the cruelty and heartlessness of the human condition in a way that you can't help but laugh at.
It was eventually determined to be too beautiful for this world and discontinued.
