let's post to LJ instead of working on my to-do list

Reccing a couple of webcomics for those of you who like things that are well-drawn, funny, and compelling:

"Lackadaisy" by Tracy Butler is about speakeasy shenanigans in Prohibition-era St. Louis, Missouri, and goddamn, it is a lot of fun. Gangs! Flappers! Jazz bands doubling as heavy-lifters! Politicians of easy virtue! Irritated assassins! Butler has a talent for facial expressions. Warnings for occasional violence, and anthropomorphic cats.

"FreakAngels" by Warren Ellis and Paul Duffield is set in a post-apocalyptic Whitechapel, London. Okay so, there is a group of childhood friends with powers like Jean Grey, right. They're just trying to survive and grow their community without letting people know about their telekinetic/-pathic/whatever secret, but it's the post-apocalypse, and death/mayhem is kinda unavoidable. It's much darker than Lackadaisy [/understatement. Behold the list of warnings: gore, violence, noncon, offscreen cannibalism, full-frontal nudity, and that's only so far. But god, the worldbuilding is great, the action is absorbing, and the friends are such bitches with each other, I <3 it.

And now I talk about Vampire Diaries! ( So, I have finished the first season, and here are my reactions. )
