Cool Thing #1:<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

My friend Dennis Hyer, who does the amazing webcomic Inhuman Relations<\/a>, recently did a series of comics that showed Maureen’s mama reading a Puck book. (Maureen’s mama is my favourite character by far.) If you look closely, you’ll see a definitive shock of red hair on the back cover. Dennis told me that Puck is, in the Inhuman Relations universe, some type of fox. Sounds right.<\/p>\n

And if you haven’t ever checked out his comic, please do so. Inhuman Relations is simply the best slice-of-life comic out there: wickedly intelligent, with wonderful dialogue, a great cast of characters and a New Jersey toughness that just makes it all come together. He also has a classic ink-and-paper style that is beautiful to look at — and hard to do. (Check out the precursor to Inhuman Relations, Mullein Fields, which is now available in print for ten bucks! I bought my own copy recently, and it’s loaded with ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ style intelligent kid-based humor.)<\/p>\n

Cool Thing #2:<\/p>\n

The nice people over at Top Web Comics did a little profile of the original black-and-white Puck comics<\/a> for Web Comic Wednesday. It’s very kind, and mercifully doesn’t mention the fact that all the old Puck comics look like total ass. Thanks guys! Your site rocks. <\/p>\n
