Hey 'Tash, I did indeed enjoy Chasing Amy. In fact, I was quoting Banky Edwards right back atcha. "Just because a guy reads comics you think he can't start some shit?" Yeah, I enjoy much of Mr. Smith ouvre.
It got the comics subculture relatively correct, except for the part about comics being created by movie stars who own their own creative works and earn enough to live on. Other than that, fairly accurate.
P.S. Although I usually pencil and ink my own work, occasionally I will ink someone else. And I am damn proud to be a tracer!

That and Flaming Carrot comics and Reid Somebody or Other, the world's most sarcastic milkman
Wow,
I can't believe someone else has read "Reid Fleming: World's Toughest Milkman"! I'm not really into comics but saw that one at a friends house and went out and bought the whole series. Incredibly funny stuff. Everyone should read it. Has sort of an anachronistic tone to it, but the characterization and humor is spot on. Imagine if Clint Eastwood looked like Earnest Borgnine and NEVER had a good day, oh, and was a milkman.

OK since this is a webcomic thread (kinda) I have to plug in my favorite not so mainstream comic:

WHOAH! I saw the daily-strip grid, the nice coloring, clean linework and inoffensive-looking characters... And was so delighted by the sickness of it. Wonderful!

Speaking of great and powerful, there's a comic I would like to recommend:
The Adventures of Petershark, by our very own Captbaggytrousers (a.k.a. Jesse Farrell). As the Firefly: The Animated Series artwork posted in the Blue Sun Room clearly shows, Captbaggytrousers packs a huge amount of expression and detail into a deceptively simple visual style. The characters are alternately larger-than-life and all-too-human. The dialogue is fluid. Issue #1 contains both a retro-futuristic space opera, and a fairly deep character study, all framed seamlessly. The only drawback to this comic is that it is almost impossible to find. I would suggest that you either email the Capn directly at Allmenfearme@aol.com or ask the folks at www.comicopia.com to send you a copy via mail order.
And I'm not just saying this because of the ridiculously huge stacks of money that Captbaggytrousers is paying me. Really.
