Sinfest

[pne]

So I downloaded the complete series of Sinfest cartoons (over 1500 — though about ten of them are "replacement" images for days in the first two months where there was no cartoon) to my computer and am watching them one by one.

And I just came to this one and had to literally laugh out loud. Lovely. *snort*

Edit: Here's another hilarious one (specifically, the Engrish bit).

This one is nice, too. And I remember being slightly touched by this one shortly after 2001-09-11.

This one is also kind of memorable, in a thought-provoking sort of way.

...and it's still a bit sad that after four years, Slick still hasn't got anywhere with women.

I don't really get this (http://www.sinfest.net/d/20010913.html). (shrugs)

The first three scenes are typical scenes from Sinfest (the couch where Slick and/or Squigley watch TV, the outside where Slick and Monique hang out or philosophise, and the stage where various cast members perform at times); the last panel is, I presume, supposed to represent the author. And the candles symbolise thinking about the events or something like that, I suppose—there are no actors present, to draw more attention to the candles.

I don't know for sure. But I felt he drew that strip as a kind of "one minute's silence" thing.

yep, he mentioned it in the news bit, that he wasn't going to try to do anything funny, he just wanted to offer a bit of a tribute in the way of "lighting candles".

Which news bit? On the website somewhere?

My exposure to Sinfest has been mostly through the syndicated account on LiveJournal; I haven't been to the website much.

I've found that reading through past ones has given me a bit of background which sometimes come in useful—many of the strips can more or less stand alone, but some make references to past things (such as the 11 September strip, where you're kind of expected to recognise the scenes).

"Notes From The Resistance" - the most recent is on the front page, but those are the archives.

The archive used to go further back, but it doesn't appear to go further than the beginning of the year now.

There's other interesting stuff on the site too, which I'm not sure you've looked at. There's a cast page, for example.
