I Made a Chart
Shaenon: I drew this when Andrew finished his first William Bazillion story arc, The Race for Santa’s Nazi Gold. The other webcomics on the chart are:
Paradigm Shift by Dirk Tiede
King of RPGs by Jason Thompson and Victor Hao (coming out as a print comic in the spring!)
Family Man by Dylan Meconis
Endtown by Aaron Neathery
DAR by Erika Moen
Dicebox by Jenn Manley Lee
All are highly, highly recommended.
Obviously there are tons of relevant webcomics I didn’t include, like A Girl and Her Fed, but I kind of made the chart on the spur of the moment.
I really enjoyed “Inglourious Basterds,” by the way, to the point that I drew Li’l Nick as the Littlest Basterd in this recent installment of Li’l Mell, which may be the most wrong thing I’ve ever drawn. Of course, our Nick is a pacifist and would almost never bash someone’s brains in with a baseball bat, but Nazis don’t count.
Channing: I’m currently reading Chabon’s “…Kavalier and Clay”, which goes on about beating up (imaginary) Nazis in tremendous detail. There’s something perversely satisfying about all this.
Andrew, NICK DOES NOT HAVE A SQUEAKY VOICE.
It’s kind of amazing to look back and realize that at this point the only known gay character was Muffin.
… What Jews?
Nick.
Seconding the question, though. (For the next person who comes here and looks at this. It says “JewS” — who is (are?) the other(s?)?
(Goldbug?)
I forgot about Nick. I think Marcie might be too, but I’m not sure.
Don’t worry, folks, the gayness attribute will increase.
Add a line for “implant to change swear words into funny clean words” and you can put down the character of Zodon in Aaron Williams’ “PS238” comic!
Alas, the girlamatic domain has been sniped by some sort of SEO wossname pseudoblog thingy, but the comic of Li’l Mell lives on at Shaenon’s own site.
I think Nick with baseball bat is in the bottom left of this page (pg 32 of “Homeschool Joe Goes to School”):

And Girl Genius! My other favourite webcomic.
