It's Not Even A Nice Place To Visit, Moose River...
Another new discovery (to me at least):
Thanks to this Bookslut piece for turning me on to Phillippe van Lieu. Skip past his Depressing Stories of Depressing People (it's interesting at first but gets repetitive fast). Skip WAY past his "Muusu-gawa no Nihon" (the title is the best thing about this "attempt to suck like all other webcomics" containing such biting observations as "manga is in"). And focus on "Moose River Regular," where he stops trying to be clever and starts getting honest and grounded and, not coincidentally, GOOD.
In my opinion, as ever. My favorite line (NSFW): "Damn it, she took Rob Roy. That was my favorite!"
