Moe!

(Click the image to see the whole thing.)

Since I may or may not have tricked a few of you into coming here from time to time, I thought that I would actually add stuff on occasion. That seems fair, right? I already started the book review thing, which I figure will give at least a post a month, neglecting anomalies such as the past few weeks. The "Just Post Stories" thing didn't seem like a proper investment of your time. Now you'll get more out of this place! Granted, that's why the Digital Sentinel was created... maybe I'll resurrect that, though managing two blogs sounds ludicrous!

Anywho, I just thought I'd bring the webcomic over at Firman Productions called Moe to your attention. Created by Michael Firman, it's a funny little comic about Moe, who is just a hair shy of retarded. Basic hilarity insues. It doesn't really have a theme, per se, unlike a lot of other webcomics. Unless "Guy named Moe does stuff that is funny" is a theme, though I doubt it. I don't really have much else to say about this, surprisingly. The comic occasionally has story arcs, but typically they don't dwell on one another much. Back in the beginning of the comic, the style was very sketchy (meaning it looked like a sketch, not that it wanted to steal your wallet). Nowadays, it still looks that way but in a much more stylized way, if that makes any sense. Stylized style. I'm personally a fan of it. I also like the typical color scheme - which involves a lot of browns - as it just adds something that I can't quite put my finger on. Maybe it's just that it fits well with the theme of the website, in general. I like matching.

The comic is also going to celebrate its first birthday this Friday, which is pretty cool. There are currently approximately 250 comics, which is a pretty good start, I'd say. But best of all, Mr. Firman sticks to a rigid update schedule. And that schedule, you ask? Why, one of the best: Every Weekday. That's right, folks, Monday through Friday can be filled with a brand new Moe comic. Glory to the Maker.

So go read it if you have some time. Read it before Friday and you can say you were reading it when it was still young. You know, in the future. When it isn't. You can say that and not lie. Anywho...

Enjoy.
