Sabrina-Online.com - Created, written, and drawn by Eric W. Schwartz. New strips will appear at the rate of between two and five every month; updated monthly on or about the first of every month. It's been around since '96, so there's a 17-and-a-half year archive. First strip featured Sabrina finding out how to connect her Amiga to the 'Net.

Zap! is one I recently found. The first one (which is where the link goes to) is from 2003. Updates Sundays, usually, so a short archive for 10.5 years, but still pretty good.
...Don't worry, the art gets better. Much better.

I follow 21 other comics. I check them all every morning while eating breakfast. It's like the Sunday funnies, but they're actually funny and have plots and stuff!

MayI suggest the more recent http://broodhollow.chainsawsuit.com/ as something to read? First chapter done, and second underway, you might end up re-evaluating things like open doors, bats, and what your dreams may really be telling you.

Ah, sorry; I had thought the reference wasn't that obscure. Anyhow, it's Liam Neeson from the film Taken; his daughter has been kidnapped and he's "negotiating" with the perpetrator. It just came to mind as I read your comment to Skruddgemire; that was the most menacing gratitude I'd ever seen. :lol:

I've bounced off that one a couple times - if i had the talent to draw (or write) a webcomic, i would NOT hand letter it, because my lettering is awful. The effort to read this one is more than i can put forth on a long-term basis.

===============

However, it triggered an association:

I would suggest Helen, Sweetheart of the internet, but the last few years of the comic (that were syndicated to newspapers as well as online) do not seem to be available anywhere.

The first four or so years, however, can be found here.

What i meant was that it's apparently from a site with a no-hotlinking policy, and isn't appearing on my screen.

I assume you're seeing it because it's in your cache.

hmmmm ..... :?:

"Student of Mine" + the comment long ago to Tina that went something like 'You don't remember me, do you?' makes me wonder.

Did Phix know the original Tina?

And thus her knew her demons from before the 'accident' for which they got their memories wiped?


Random thought: Tina's demons were punished because they caused the accident in which Tina died (to help Monica's development(?), but now I'm pondering, was the original Tina an unwilling/unknowing participant in that?

If Bia is involved with Tina 2.0, maybe she was involved with the original Tina and there was more behind the accident than we have been told?

:shock:

Yes, I suffered with sleep last night and I haven't had my morning coffee yet. How could you tell?

That would be a very interesting concept: What if Tina 1.0 was, what us D&D nerds would say, "Neutral Evil"? She wanted nothing to do with Jin, Monica or anyone, and she was somehow the main reason why the Scoobies were unable to fix the calendar machine the first 56 times?

And, what would be worse, she's somehow got the genes from another of Bia's dalliances?

Maybe Bia was Tina's mother as well, and was the drug 'lord' who 'died' in the compound raid...... :shock:

Tina 1.0 had to know Bia at some point. How else would she have gotten the key blade?

Or Tina 1.0's Demons knew Bia. :?:

Even though I suggested it, I'm still not 100% behind the idea that Tina 1.0 had met Phix before her accident (and death). Phix's "You don't remember me" line to Tina 2.0 might be because Phix sat in judgement and/or enacted the punishment (memory wipe) to Tina's 1.0's Demons for causing the accident.

I am however, liking the theory that Tina 1.0 and Bia are related. If Shelly and Tina were(are) related by blood (via Bia), would that be a factor in the creation of Connie?

Maybe Bia worked out (or thought) that Monica / fixing the Calendar / ending the time loop was important to her plans?
