At the end of what has been a very eventful year for me, I've decided that you (un)lucky folk should have to (mis)fortune to see what resources on the net I use to help me keep sane.
Right, many of you will remember Errant Story (http://www.errantstory.com/) from a previous thread I put up, much to the discomfort of many who then became hooked... But there are more, such as Sin Fest (http://sinfest.net) which I find very funny. The ever amusing Dilbert (http://www.dilbert.com/) who reminds me that no matter how crumby a job can be, his is worse.
Then, there is my all time favourate strip, I have been reading this since 1995 or thereabouts, Eric Schwartz's Sabrina Online (http://www.sabrina-online.com/), but wait, there one more, this time not a comic strip but a serialised story thats a spin off from the Sabrina Online story that has earned a special place in my heart, ladies and gents, I give you ZZ Studios (http://zzstudios.com/index.php), though more specifically, Zig Zag's story (http://zzstudios.com/ZZtS/chapters.php).
I look forward to tortured screams along the lines of "I've just lost X amount of days reading this stuff!" :-D

Season Greetings Leander,
Sir, you just made my day! :-D
Now I have a reason to be online during my weekend Christmas Vacation. :-)
Thanks! Here's one for the road! :pint: :-D
Don't worry about me graoning if I "just lost X amount of days reading this stuff!!!". I won't. :-D
Regards,
Gizz

Aww, oh well if you're not going to tell me how many day's you've lost, at least let me know how you get on with it all yes? And cheers for the beer matey :-D
Here, happy christmas, have one on me :pint:

Sabrina online is just fantastic. I first read her strips when they were part of my staple Amiga Format diet :-D
Haven't read it for a few months now, but thanks to you I'll be losing time with it again :-D

I actually started reading sabrina online on Moonlight BBS run by a chap called John Marchant, a thoroughly nice bloke who had a large stash of ES's works, including a complete mirror of sabrina online.
Damn but that was a long time ago heh!

I think I've got all of his movies on CD. Got them off Aminet put them on cd, stuck them on the miggy and watched them all back to back :-D
Aminet doesn't seem to have much of his stuff now tho, so I'm glad I got it when I did.
I must buy his CD sometime :-D

If I can make a recommendation, you can download P.G.Wodehouse stories for free from the Gutenberg Project.
http://www.gutenberg.org/
He was a master of comedy. If you have not already read his stuff, he will provide you with many 'lighter' moments. :-)

Might I suggest getting this (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1561634018/qid=1103814478/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-2731336-2583037?v=glance&s=books) if you're interested in fantasy-angled comics? It's quite funny stuff :-).

I'll have a look though tbh zig zag story was something of an unusual choice for me - I'm not normally into things like this.
@odin
I'll certainly consider it, but for now it'll have to wait until after Xmas am totally broke man!
