Comics and Cartoons
These pages contain links to comic strips and cartoons that are updated
on a regular basis. Note that this is not an attempt to provide an
exhaustive or definitive list of comic strips on the net; just the ones that
I know of and think are worth my time. (And those for which I am currently
giving the benefit of the doubt.)
These pages consist almost entirely of medium-to-large graphic images
loaded from a number of other sites. Depending upon your connectivity,
processor and display speed, and the state of the net at large, these
pages may load VERY slowly. And the In-Lines pages will consume
vast amounts of memory. You have been warned.
NOTE: In many cases the on-line 'toon is not the primary focus
of the page. Often the page will contain information about ordering
books or other related retail items. All readers are encouraged to
periodicly visit the home page for any of the strips that they enjoy here.
