Barnacle Press : archive of mostly public domain newspaper comics. Loads of good stuff, but some highlights not previously mentioned include (especially)
Ella Cinders, an stylishly written flapper-Cinderella update; the less clever but still charming
Cinderella Suze; the appallingly cute
Diary of Snubs, Our Dog;
Foxy Grandpa, about a grandfather who outsmarts prank-happy kids;
The Hurry Up New Yorker, a kinetically drawn one-joke strip;
The Newlyweds' Baby, about a cartoon-sexually-dimorphic couple with a terrible baby;
Doesn't It Seem Strange, sort of a beautifully illustrated 'They'll Do It Every Time' for 1903-4;
Bringing Up Father, class comedy with lots of rolling pin violence; the freaky-deaky
Terrors of the Tiny Tads.
(Main link previously posted a couple of times in 2005, but new stuff has been added since then, and the site's been redesigned.)
