Uncle Funny Bunny and Chumpy






















Cartoon Brew thinks this may be the worst comic strip ever created :

"Admittedly it’s aimed at children, and produced in the more innocent era of the early 50s. But the consistently corny gags, the awful stiff artwork… surely this takes the prize. Unless one considers the Weekly Reader’s back up strip: Loki, Your Fuzzy Forest Friend."

I kind of like it myself. I'd say there are thousands of worse comics than this out there! There are more samples here.

Ethel Sparrowhawk

An early Christmas present from Steve Tillotson... you can download a pdf of the out-of-print Ethel Sparrowhawk issue 1 right here right now for free. It's one of the best comics to come out of the British indie comics scene and well worth a read.
And when you've read that, there's a brand new issue available :






















I've been too cheap and lazy to acquire it, but judging by these pages, it'll be great.
