Recently, I wrote an article detailing the joy of webcomics for Blog @ Newsarama. You can the entire piece here. Due to some technical glitch, the recommended webcomic links in the piece were not included, so I have reprinted them here:Abominable Charles Christopher – Follow the adventures of a dim-witted yeti through a forest full of colorful animal characters.

Evil Inc – Brad Guigar’s long-running series about an evil, super villainous corporation.
