Strangers in Paradise

My absolute, clear favourite comic. Based on two women, Francine Peters and Katina Choovanski (a.k.a. Katchoo), and how they live their lives. The characters get to be people that you really care about very quickly. And, rather than your average super-hero comic, they have stomachs, and normal size breasts, and hang-ups about their weight and appearance.

This is a comic for people who don't normally read comics. Honest.

If you want to learn more, here's a really good page all about it. And there's one more here, and yet another here.

Really, you should check them out.

And, related to Strangers in Paradise, the SiPlist. This is, surprisingly enough, a mailing list for the people who read and love SiP. Although, to be honest, we don't discuss SiP very often. We just sort of ramble on about whatever we feel like. Sometimes it gets really quite surreal! If you think you'd like to join us, leave your inhibitions at the door, and e-mail our listserve. Put subscribe siplist in the body of your email.

Well, I managed to get some pictures of UK SiPlisters up (at last), so if you'd like to have a look at my photos...
