two comic strips

[rone]

Loose Parts is a recent discovery, and it comes close to having the Far Side Nature, certainly more than any other "wacky one-panel" cartoon.  The artwork doesn't have that idiosyncratic nature, but it's not bad.  And i've liked Ballard Street since i first saw it, and i'm amazed at how it's kept up its almost impossible blend of the crazed within a staid suburban milieu.

Lastly, instead of chasing around various comic strip feeds on LJ, which might end up getting canceled anyway, set up an account at ComicAlert, then syndicate it on LJ (and if you have a free account and can't syndicate feeds, ping me and i'll set it up for you).

Thanks for the Loose Parts pointer.

I think Van Amerongen's earlier panel "The Neighborhood" either predates or is more or less contemporaneous with "The Far Side", which is why his stuff reads less as a Far Side ripoff than most in the "eccentric one-panel strip" subgenre.
