I believe I've mentioned a time or two here in the past that I read some webcomics by [livejournal.com profile] sykeAlien Dice, Campus Safari, etc. Alien Dice is an interesting take on the whole "pocket monster" phenomenon that looks beyond the brain candy of the gotta-catch-'em-all craze to the ethics involved in a game where you own sentient creatures and make them fight each other—and on top of that, it adds an animé/manga-style romance. It's been running for almost six years now, and it's really good, with a lot of exciting twists and turns to the storyline. The art is absolutely amazing, too. (I did a lengthier review of it in this podcast.)

Campus Safari is a light'n'fluffy (for the most part) anthropomorphic comic; it may not be to everyone's taste, especially early on when [livejournal.com profile] syke was still refining her style and it can sometimes be a little hard to tell what's going on, but it's still worth reading if you don't mind anthropomorphics. And her art has really gotten good.

How [livejournal.com profile] syke manages to update multiple comics five days a week (when the donation goal was hit on the previous month) in full color is beyond me, especially since most other webcomic artists have a hard time doing just one comic in black and white. But somehow she manages.

Anyway, [livejournal.com profile] syke is one of those webcomic artists whose day job is her webcomic; she supports herself on donations and merchandise sales. But at the moment, her daughter is in the emergency room with a severe infection, and it being the beginning of the month she's a little short on funds.

So, I'm asking those of you who read my journal, please consider chipping in however you can—send a few bucks in PayPal, buy some merchandise, whatever.

And check out the comics, too. :)
