This post is not about sex. If that's what you're looking for, skip this post, because it ain't happenin' Chester.
Okay, now that the stampede has died down, I just wanted to pimp Girls With Slingshots. I came to a knowledge of its existence in the way I normally come to such things (random connections to other websites). I've known about it for all of a week, and in that time, I've devoured the archive. Oh, yeah, I guess I'm not saying what it is. It's a webcomic. A funny webcomic, but a good one too.
Basically, I'm not sleeping, so I've been reading it. And if I could draw or had any modicum of artistic ability in the area of comics, this is the comic I wish I could draw. For one thing, there are a lot of attractive people in it (well, attractive for a comic). For another, it's just good. For another, while it's not as twisted as I am, its sensibilities are right where I'd like to be. If I could live in a comic strip, it would be this one.
You should read it. It is funny, sweet, and surprisingly good at talking about attitudes surrounding sex and relationships (and I know that saying that will scare away a lot of people, but that's why I say "surprisingly" because there are a lot of things which talk about sex and relationships which may say good things, but say them in a profoundly unenjoyable way). I want to live there.
Pimping done. It's the only site which isn't a blog or a porno that I think I've ever linked to, so that's high praise, I guess. I could link to others, but I think GWS captures something which is pertinent to what my life is like. Or something like that. Plus, really, it's funny. Laugh-out-loud funny.
And I'm going insane from lack of sleep, so that too.

Thanks, Lexi.
Remember, to follow your dreams, so get out your pencils and draw. Most people can be taught to draw, it is just practice. It is reckon that it takes 10,000 hours to be an expert.
I wanted to be a comics artist, but never thought I was any good and so never pushed for it.
Oh, I can draw, I just can't do the 2-D thing. Seriously, I have a mental block in 2-D representation. Great spacial sense, but converting it into another dimension... yeah. Also, while sure, I'd love to be able to draw as well as some people out there, it's more of a "win the lottery" type dream than a "what I want to do with my life" type dream. I just thought the comic was great and wanted to share.
What else do you read?
Well, I came to know about GWS through Something Positive which is another enjoyable comic, although not one I feel the same way about. I also like Sinfest although it blueballs me too often on the subject of character development and getting the two main characters together (on the plus side, it's positively filthy sometimes, and the artist draws stunning women). There are others, but those two are biggies.
