We smugly eat all of our enemies, take time to do our own research, focus on the history and stick to the basics on the artwork, and wonder when the coffee table book version will hit with our gruesomely informative review of Pudge's Lessons in Mythology in this week's episode of Digital Strips!

We chill out a bit and beat the summer heat with a breezy look back at one of our favorite comics from the recent past, Bicycle Boy by Jackarais. See why alliances are still always changing, a new bicycle boy seems to have taken the titular role, and why we think this comic is about partying and flipping off the encroaching darkness (sound familiar?) episode of Digital Strips!

We take a break from reviewing webcomics to instead take a turn on viewing webcomics as a whole, including differences between the inception to now, losing the adventure of exploring the World Wide Web, and why services like Webtoons and Tapas miss out on key components of the magic of webcomics on this week's 700th episode of Digital Strips!

After talking about Bree Paulsen's hiatus from Patrik the Vampire, the guys take some time to get lost and then find themselves in the endearingly fantastical tale of Demon Street by Aliza Layne.

But with a story called Ice Massacre, do you really expect to find a relationship you want to root for?

In our first review of 2022, we look at DPS Only!, a comic by Velinxi, which caught our eye thanks to the esports gaming setting and kept us hooked with drama and relationships that we truly cared about. This story also inspired talk about the role of sexism in gaming, a subject we admit to being ill-equipped to say much about. Also, is creepy older male captain creepy? Steve files his report. All that, plus new focuses for reviews in the new year!
