*waves* I read the comics fine. Its just i'm at work for my internet conection, so i don't get to read alot of them.

The Webcomic i'd like to suggest for reading is
http://www.9thelsewhere.com/

Plot Summery: A girl and her muse travel through her subconscious. Trying to work threw her problems. The story is far more complicated as the muses himself has some issues. The comic starts off upbeat and funny, but as Carman travels deeper into the workings of her own mind, the story to delve deeper into the recesses of the soul.
Art: Pencil art, but its total fantastic and atmospheric. Lines are smooth and well defined, but the overall effect is ‘dreamy’. This word seems appropriate for a subconscious romp ^_^
Things to Know: It’s been slow to update recently, but there has been weekly updates, so the comic isn’t dead. The archive is quite large to. The comic is heavily centered around psychology, but the comic gives nice little explanations that fill you in, so no prier knowledge is required. Reading it leaves you refreshed and invigorated, as well as giving you a better understanding of the subconscious mind.
Favortates: For some reason I can’t seem to get different URLs to link to my favs… but page 3_043 has some nice flash work in it ^_^

Well, Wednesday has come again, meaning it's Josiah's turn now, but it 9th Elsewhere doesn't seem to have been discussed at all... admittedly I didn't have enough time to read the 50 pages (stupid play practice... why couldn't you have recommended Red String? ...Not... that I... already read it or anything...) but I'll be coming back to it as soon as I get a chance (Well, as long as Quack-san makes a return. Always been a sucker for stuff like Rubber duckies getting people out of tight situations). I've read enough to see that it's an amusing, thought-provoking, and well-drawn webcomic.
"Irregardless" and "Over exaggerated" are NEVER CORRECT EVER because they are redundant
Regardless means "without regard", and adding "ir" on the front actually makes it a double negative; exaggerate means "to overstate" so you're literally saying "over overstate."
Example: I can not exaggerate the importance of this fact enough, regardless of how often people ignore it.

I really want to give 9th Elsewhere a chance, but I hardly have anytime - but if we extend Shauni's time to next Wendsday, I'll be able to have given it a chance. It was just a really busy week for me.

Since everyone (myself included) seems to be pretty busy with finals, holiday stuff, and the like I'm extending Shauni's week until next wednesday so we'll all be able to give 9th Elsewhere the time it deserves.

why couldn't you have recommended Red String?
Cos i didnt start reading it till last friday

9th Elsewhere is well worth a read, but you cant just dive in at the middle, you really do need to read it from the begining

Well, I'm ready to talk about 9th Elsewhere but it anyone else? Are people ready to move on to my comic or should we wait another week until Christmas is over and everyone hopefully has time again?

Anyway, I've been reading 9th Elsewhere for a while. The art is good and the characters are fairly unique and interesting. The comic can be funny at times and serious and thought provoking at others. I particularily like the story arc where Carmen is raising the cow. However, the very sporadic update schedule 9th E fallen into over the last couple of months has hurt it. The newer comics seem to be a bit unfocused and hard to follow.

Josiah is right, reading the archives threw is great fun, but when you are waiting for an update, sometimes once a month, it makes it kinda hard.

I myself study Psychology, so I find her take on dream scaps and the inner workings of the mind fascinating ^_^

Yeah, I read up to just after the cow arc. And I stand by my thought on the comic before reading too far into it. I've always been a sucker for Rubber ducky jokes and similarities to .hack.
