			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday at the comic shop I witnessed a lady clearly out of her element try to convince the shop owner to pre-sell her a (2nd print) copy of the Obama Spider-Man issue. She worked at it for about an hour before he managed to convince her that if she just got there early enough on Wednesday she&#8217;d probably be able to get one. She&#8217;ll end up paying $20 or $30 for that issue, at least. In five years she&#8217;ll be lucky if it&#8217;s worth a quarter. All of this has happened before, and it will all happen again.</p>
<p>At any rate, I thought I&#8217;d point out a few webcomics I read and enjoy. There are plenty more out there, and many that are probably better, but these are the ones I check out daily, or at least a couple times a week.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.starslip.com/">Starslip</a> &#8211; formerly Starslip Crisis, this is currently my favorite series, about a warship that&#8217;s been converted to a museum. Kris Straub has recently undergone a massive art evolution. This is actually a good time to jump on, though I definitely recommend reading through the archives. I also get a daily laugh out of his indy comic parody, <a href="http://www.chainsawsuit.com/">Chainsaw Suit</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.shortpacked.com/">Shortpacked!</a> &#8211; a strip mostly about toys and toy collecting, which sounds very niche (and sometimes it is), but I think it&#8217;s actually pretty widely accessable. It&#8217;s in kind of a weird place right now, in the middle of a story arc, but it&#8217;s a solid series.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.theaterhopper.com/">Theater Hopper</a> &#8211; about movies! I recently helped Tom out with some copyediting on his Year 3 collection and had a blast with it.</p>
<p><a href="http://basicinstructions.net/">Basic Instructions</a> &#8211; absolutely love this strip, a 4-panel gag-a-panel series with a deeply snarky sense of humor. One of these days I want to get one of his Infini-Tees.</p>
<p>And of course, I read <a href="http://www.pvponline.com/">PvP</a>, <a href="http://www.penny-arcade.com/">Penny Arcade</a>, and <a href="http://www.xkcd.com/">XKCD</a>. I don&#8217;t need to expand on those any.</p>
<p>Happy MLK, Jr Day everyone! I&#8217;m looking forward to watching the inauguration tomorrow, preferrably on HBO so we don&#8217;t have to listen to some 24-hour news jackasses talking over it the whole time.</p>
