Things to read when you've nothing to read
These are the webcomics I read while waiting for the kettle to boil, or my boss to get off the phone, or for a response to some idle text message… I’ve set up the links to start at the first page of the webcomic.
Starslip Crisis - A sci-fi comedy about museums, quantum physics and longing for that girl you’ve not got the guts to make a move on. Updated daily.
Gunnerkrigg Court - This one is hard to describe, but handily, Neil Gaiman’s already had a shot: “it’s a semi-gothic funny-sweet school story with mysteries and robots and so forth — but I kept finding myself reminded of the early days of reading Bone.” Well worth reading.
Concerned - One thing to do when you can’t draw comics, but have always wanted to write one. This comic is built from posed screenshots from the Half-Life 2 engine. The storyline wraps itself around the storyline of the game quite cleverly, though this does mean many of the jokes are only funny if you’ve played the game.
That’ll do for now.

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
