Thanks to a lot of what I've read on Metafilter, I've found some amazing websites (many of these have been posted before), and I've built up kind of a Sunday routine that starts at
Post Secret, then continues to
TXComics, where I check the weeks updates on
Kukuburi and
The Abominable Charles Christopher, all the while hoping that
Sin Tutulo will be back soon (Feb 28th, they say). From there I check out
A Softer World, and every once in a while, go back to check on comics that seem to have stopped, like
We The Robots and
Simulated Comic Product (which seems to have undergone some changes.
The key? I usually finish with
Bob the Angry Flower, whose recommendations are always worth a shot. Therefore, I give you
Infectonator!
