We've linked to a few of Jed McGowan's wordless comics before—including Hawaii, a best in show among geological comics, and Voyager, a wordless comic about a space probe. Despite the dry-sounding material, Xeris-winner McGowan (Lone Pines) presents them in a visually arresting way.

Hit the link to find out.

The long running The Last Halloween is an engrossing tale about a girl and some monsters.

The story also includes a dandy forgotten woman—Frank Lloyd Wright's associate Marion Mahony Griffin. So sit back and learn some Australian and architectural history.

This Sunday's New York Times will contain what I would guess to be a full page printed version of the comicMe and the Universe by Anders Nilsen, so you may want to wait for that version to put into your scrapbook. But if you don't want to get ink on your fingers, here's a web version of a diagrammatic image of Nilsen's place in the universe.

privateeye8The good news is that a new issue of THE PRIVATE EYE is available. This webcomic by Brian K. Vaughan, Marcos Martin and Muntsa Vicente posits a world where an eruption in the cloud has made privacy the most valued social element. Oh did you say "torn from today's headlines"? When this started running last year it seemed a little far fetched but after the burst cloud has spilled all of our secrets, BKV looks prescient again.
