Weekly Webcomic Update
http://www.donaldscrankshaw.com/posts/1157950764.shtml


   As promised, I've added a new comic to the Update, and sadly, removed
   General Protection Fault. I still love GPF, but it's gone down to
   three times a week and is currently on hiatus, so I need new blood for
   the Update. Instead, Dominic Deegan: Oracle for Hire will be joining
   the role. Just back from its own hiatus, Dominic Deegan is a fantasy
   comic with a sharp sense of humor and strong moral grounding. It's
   stories are complex and engaging, and really beyond doing
   justification to them here. Suffice it to say that you should go read
   it from the beginning. I'll be updating the sidebar accordingly
   tonight.
   [1]Sluggy Freelance -- Oasis's flashbacks are beginning to shake her
   faith in her love for Torg, but brainwashing quickly sets in. Kareen
   wants her and her sensei gone for good, but it looks like her concern
   over the police is unwarranted, as they seem to be protecting her...
   unless it's something more sinister. Never fear, the press is here to
   dig it up, or at least get tossed into jail for trying.
   [2]Day by Day -- As I suspected, the car crash was a bait and switch,
   and as I did not suspect, so was the pregnancy. That's disappointing,
   although now it seems Jan's decided she wants kids. There's still some
   time for some Capitol Hill madness, mocking the democrats for their
   alarm over the 9/11 film.
   [3]Scary Go Round -- Uh-oh. The police are aiming to stop the
   commandeered trailer, and The Boy and Esther are forced to swim for
   it. The Boy at least has found "safety," assuming that crazy green man
   is safe.
   [4]College Roomies from Hell!!! -- Just two comics this week, but Dave
   seems to be hiding something from Mike in his bed. That cocunut drink
   seems like it's too easy, doesn't it? Where is Blue?
   [5]Dominic Deegan -- Stunt and Bumper are in Barthis. For those who
   don't know, these two thieves have a history with Dominic, generally
   being outwitted by the Seer at every turn, although occasionally
   they've worked with him. Stunt wants to start a new crime ring in
   Barthis, while Bumper just wants to live a quiet life with his guilt
   over killing the despicable Amelia Sturtz. Meanwhile, Dominic and Luna
   are planning to buy a house together and move into Barthis.
   [6]Schlock Mercenary -- Finally! We've reached the part of the
   flashback where Kevyn explains how he ended up on that planet in a
   loincloth in the first place. Apparently, they're trying to kill some
   pirates/insurgents, and they're disguising themselves as a freighter
   to do so.
