written by: Emily Horne and Joey Comeau

What It's About: A series of over 400 dark-humoured non-sequiturs by a creative duo. Comics are captioned by joey, photographs taken and designed by emily.
Why You Should Read It: Laughability. The interplay between the lucid and lovely photographs and witty captions is utterly unexpected. Several of the strips had me laughing out loud.

What It's About: A sarcastic Oracle whom through various adventures and disasters finds love and heroism. Fantasy elements run high and the narrative is clear.
Why you Should Read it: Don't be put off by the first chapter; the storyline introduced in the 2nd is amuzing enough to hold even a seasoned comic-reader's interest. The jokes, if somewhat stale for the first few pages, do improve dramatically as the strip goes on.
One of the early ones, yet a good one:
