Graphic fiction Argon Zark Colourful on-going series which tells the story of the inventor of a Personal Transport Protocol, and the "nine or 10 guys who secretly run everything".Art Comics Excellent site with a selection of dailies, weeklies and book-length strips - some of which take longer to load than others - which aren't all about Microsoft and the web. Goats The characters of the Goats strip inhabit a cheerful world located somewhere to the left of America with a fast-food chain that has absolutely nothing to do with McDonald's, aliens in search of a good time and a satanist chicken called Diablo.

The claustrophic, heavily etched drawings have a menacing beauty and the whole concept is a surreal delight. Talespinner Somewhere between a graphic novel and illustrated web fiction, the Talespinner is an ongoing tale with a fantasy feel and an "adult materials" disclaimer. Too Much Coffee Man The adventures of a man with a giant coffee cup welded to the top of his head...
