[A Softer World] Favorites?
« on: July 26, 2007, 10:25:59 PM »
I was reminded of the comic today... possibly because I subscribe to the lj rss thinger.  But I was going through some old favorites and wanted to see if any other readers here wanted to post some that they liked.

This one (which is also a link! shiny!) is one of the more well-known, as their first book of published strips is titled from it.  I hadn't really appreciated it until I re-read it tonight, so I felt it was worth a share.



So, anyone else read this comic?  Have any favorite strips?

Personally, I like all the morbid ones, and the one about chess.  Baby Doom not so much though.

I found a total copycat site... I was hoping they'd admit to pirating the format, but they don't.

Some of the things might be decent, I guess.  I haven't really gone through.

He admits to being inspired by ASW, but even so, his format comes across as straight plagiarism.
