Gingerdead

I can't resist a comic that stars a gingerbread boy and a skeletal girlfriend.

Gingerdead is an online comic posted weekly. It's also an interesting blog where readers are encouraged to respond in the comments area in haiku (I failed to do this when I posted there). Why? Well the comic itself is often written in haiku-style (5 syllables, 7 syllables, 5 syllables).

When you have a sister who wants to kill you (as GingerDead does), perhaps it's easier to take when the plotting is so lyrical.

Calan Ree’s work has been described as dark humor, gothic and spooky cute, but she hopes that you will also discover that at times it can be rather thoughtful and expressive. Her goal isn’t so much 'laugh out loud' humor, but hopes to conjure a smile from your lips as you relate your own human experience to the characters in her world.

Be sure to check out her art cards and prints, then enjoy the comic from the beginning and click through the entire library using the red arrows on the right side of the navigation bar.
