I've been getting into comic books (or graphic novels) lately and I read some that affected me on a personal level quite a bit. I had never been a comic book person, especially about superhero stuff, and I still don't think they're my cup of tea (Except maybe for Watchmen). I brushed off the whole genre thinking that superhero comics were the best they had to offer and that was quite wrong of me to assume so.

A while ago I read Richard McGuire's comic, Here, and it was one of the best books I've ever read. Brilliant idea, superbly executed. It had a profound affect on me and kicked the doors open to a world I had not known existed.

Subsequently, I bought a few more titles after some research in similar vein to Here. I've read about half of them, but bought all of them thinking that their stories would appeal to me. So in order to give you all some ideas, here's a list of the titles I've purchased so far:

• Here by Richard McGuire
• Maus by Art Spiegelman
• Jimmy Corrigan: The Smartest Kid on Earth by Chris Ware
• Rusty Brown by Chris Ware
• City of Glass: A Graphic Mystery by Paul Auster, Paul Karasik & David Mazzucchelli
• Black Hole by Charles Burns
• Asterios Polyp by David Mazzucchelli
• Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi
• Hostage by Guy Delisle
• Jerusalem: Chronicles from the Holy City by Guy Delisle
• Burma Chronicles by Guy Delisle
• Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea by Guy Delisle
• Stardust by Neil Gaiman & Charles Vess
• Daytripper by Gabriel Ba & Fabio Moon
• Ghost World by Daniel Clowes
• Fun Home: A Family Tragicomic by Alison Bechdel
• From Hell by Alan Moore & Eddie Campbell
• Berlin by Jason Lutes
• Blankets by Craig Thompson

I've had some comics adapted from novels (like _Brave New World, 1984 etc.) but I'm not into those as much.

My wallet will not like this topic but I'm looking forward to your recommendations. Thank you in advance!

Please do not comment about reading the rest first instead of seeking new recommendations. I understand the sentiment and would normally agree, but I have legitimate reasons to do it.

My list of comics I read over a cup of tea in the morning is looking a little stale so I wondered what webcomics people like to read on a regular basis. I'm pretty flexible about content types, the only real requirement is regular updates. If I can jump in without reading a shedload of back issues that would be better than not, but for a good series I don't mind putting in some time catching up.

Here's my current list:

Daily-ish updates

• Penny Arcade
• Dumbing of Age
• Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal
• Questionable Content

Couple of updates a week-ish

• Mr Lovenstein
• Perry Bible Fellowship
• My Gums Are Bleeding
• War and Peas
• The Jenkins
• False Knees
• Extra Ordinary Comics
• Sarah's Scribbles
• Loading Artist
• Buttersafe
• Poorly Drawn Lines
• Cyanide and Happiness
• Wondermark
• XKCD

Might be dead

• Extra Fabulous Comics
• Weregeek
• The Pigeon Gazette

This thread is posted weekly - please try to post all relevant US political content in here, such as news, updates, opinion articles, etc. Extremely significant events may warrant a separate topic, but almost all should be posted in here.

This is an inherently political thread; please try to avoid antagonistic arguments and bickering matches. Comment threads that devolve into unproductive arguments may be removed so that the overall topic is able to continue.

On my own after cutting financial ties with my parents, and looking to try different kinds of work while I wait out a bad tech market. Besides uber, what are some interesting ways to work part time in SF? I’ve been thinking about enlisting in the army, but I think there’s probably better ideas.

About me: Recent CS grad, currently doing part-time pastry.

Edit: Thanks so much for the great ideas! I think I’ll try looking into FOH, a couple gyms, and try a temp agency as a backup.

Find yourself watching tons of great videos on [insert chosen video sharing platform], but also find yourself reluctant to flood the Tildes front page with them? Then this thread is for you.

It could be one quirky video that you feel deserves some eyeballs on it, or perhaps you've got a curated list of videos that you'd love to talk us through...

Share some of the best video content you've watched this past week/fortnight with us!

I have this notion that we're entering a new fuzzy era of rejecting the hyper technological stream that we've been on since the 90's. I notice people now wanting to use their phones for longer (e.g. not replacing them every 2 years because it's the trend) and I feel there's a push back towards certain things like touchscreens in cars being reverted back to clicky buttons.

Sure, there are these crazy developments happening in science. A.I. is changing so fast it's hard to keep up with, and we're going back to the moon! (I say we because it's a human endeavor goddamn it).

But there also seems to be this realization that we might have strained Earth a little too much and that we need to tend to Earth, and ourselves a little bit more.

For reference, I'm a millennial born in '89.

Some (hopefully obvious) caveats before we begin.

1. By definition, everyone sharing examples here has not deeply engaged with the source material, so they're likely to have misconceptions from cultural osmosis.
2. If you have read the source, feel free to share whether the common knowledge is accurate, a common misconception, or the first time you've seen it interpreted that way.
3. If it was a video game, classical music, or other non-book that influenced you, those are also welcome.

I'll post my answer as a comment to give it equal weight to the others.
