The best webcomic out there? Sinfest. Clever, creative, always fresh and funny, amazing cartooning skills.
Today I’m pointing it out because this particular strip blends religion and superheroes in a way that’s respectful to conventions of both and still over-the-top hilarious. But it’s good all the time.

I’m going to have to memorize your description of Sinfest. I’m a huge fan of the strip but I become completely inarticulate when I try to tell people about it. I end up saying it’s mostly about calligraphy and religion and sex. Somehow this never appeals.

Oh, yeah, I forgot the sex! Although I usually think of it in terms of gender role exploration. Glad you found it helpful!

You’re right. “Gender role exploration” is a more apt description. But, at that point, I’m usually trying to recover from “calligraphy.”

I generally describe it as “a comedic combination of immaturity, irreverence, stereotypes, and puppies” or some rephrasing of that. For some reason people are intrigued without fail.
