Saving...
As promised, this week will be devoted to giving shout outs to quality comics readers of Over might enjoy. Up first, Danielle Corsetto’s Girls With Slingshots.
What It’s About: In one sentence, it’s about “Two girls, a bar, and a talking cactus.” Obviously, it’s about much more than that, which explains it’s big success as a webcomic. At it’s heart, its about friendship in all it’s forms, and with an eclectic and engaging cast of zany characters, GWS explores relationships in as humorous a way as I’ve seen.
It’s two main characters Hazel and Jamie are two peas in a pod. This recent strip (perfectly seasonal) sums up their relationship brilliantly.
I’ve only been following Girls With Slingshots for about half a year now, but I really enjoy it. In fact, the only thing I picked up at this year’s Baltimore Comic-Con was was the first GWS collection (which Danielle was nice enough to sign and sketch in.) I’m really enjoying it. It is a strip comic, but Danielle does do longer storylines, so it’s not simply a “gag-a-day” serial.
Why Over Readers will dig it: It’s funny, well-drawn, and it’s got sex and booze jokes galore. What’s not to like?
Read the latest strip here or start from the beginning here.
Enjoy!
Love love love Danielle’s work. Bought her first book while at the New England Webcomic Weekend, a month later bought her second online, and recently I pre-ordered the third at the BCC! Score. And I got a pic of her with McPedro. Double score.
I swear, I’m Hazel 99% of the time. Not that picky about pumpkins per say, but you get the idea.
