entirely safe and fun

Right now, over at Achewood, one of the finest story arcs in web comics appears to be wrapping up. Coverage of the Great Outdoor Fight (”Three Days! Three Acres! THREE THOUSAND MEN!”) began on 25 Jan 2006 (link to first strip) and is ongoing. Read it now and you’ll be able to say that you saw it while it was still on the front page. You’re already too late to have been reading it before it was cool. Achewood is the most consistently readable webcomic. Sometimes I’m embarassed to find myself reading a Penny Arcade strip (not often); occasionally The Order of the Stick is clunky. Achewood is not just funny, it’s playful and even revelatory.
