delilahdirk_feed: "Delilah Dirk and the Turkish Lieutenant" by Tony Cliff
The Story
In 19th-century Turkey, an officer in the Janissary army must struggle to repay a brash adventuress for saving his life, even though she was the one who endangered it in the first place. The webcomic unfolds with four or six new pages each Saturday. The number of pages varies each week in service to the story, usually determined by which page would make a more cruel, heart-wrenching cliffhanger.
This reminds me of Tintin and Miyazaki...the illustrations are so beautiful. :D
Two comics-related feeds...

Jan. 4th, 2010 07:47 pmarA variety of feeds that I've made over the last few months (at least, I'm pretty sure I made all these--if not, I do at least think they're good!):
Book-related
judge_a_book_feed - Judge A Book By Its Cover collects terrible book covers and snarks them.
queryshark_feed - The Query Shark reads query letters for people interested in submitting manuscripts to publishers and notes what's wrong with them. Very useful and entertaining.
trappedintheattic_feed - Trapped in the Attic mocks V.C. Andrews books in an almost frighteningly detailed way. Author is on hiatus but coming back soon, and in the meantime, archives include a complete snark of My Sweet Audrina.
Comics-related
amazingspiderads_feed - The Amazing Spider-Ads blog, collecting ads that ran in Marvel Comics over the years.
scottmeetsfamcircus_feed - Scott Meets Family Circus, an occasionally-updated collection of Family Circus comics with extra panels including the titular Scott.
snowflakes_feed - Snowflakes, a M-W-F comic strip about orphans. Enjoyable for all ages.
Et cetera
awkward_boners_feed - Awkward Boners, a blog specializing in pictures of cocks in inopportune places. Not entirely work-safe, though penises are always covered by some kind of fabric.
babynamewizard_feed - The blog of Laura Wattenberg, author of The Baby Name Wizard (which is basically the best new thing to come out for names in the entirety of the last decade). Good discussion of names and American society; would definitely recommend glancing at it if you're interested in either subject.
coverlaydown_feed - Cover song downloads, all by folk artists. Tends to be interesting, updates regularly.
tackyweddings_feed - Tacky Weddings shows off pictures of--well, tacky weddings. Hasn't updated for a bit, but always a treat when it does.

Medium-Large and American Elf
May. 16th, 2009 03:28 pmarI just created feeds for two webcomics I'm fond of, and I thought I'd share.
mediumlarge_feed is Medium-Large, the webcomic side project of Ces Marciuliano, aka That Guy Who Draws Sally Forth. It updates Monday through Friday and often skewers established newspaper comic strips and politics.
americanelf_feed is American Elf, James Kochalka's comic strip diary. It updates every day, and each comic is something that happened to him that day.
eta: While we're at it,snowflakes_feed is Snowflakes, an all-ages webcomic set in an orphanage set in the Andes mountains. It's a little ridiculous but a little fun, too, and updates Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
