Smithson

Smithson.

A long-form webcomic about college life and stranger things. Updates every Thursday, or so. Full colour! Very classy. Started September 2003, by Shaenon Garrity, who you may remember as the author of this excellent webcomic.

Smithson started out seemingly focused on normal college life, but swiftly grew to include 1) a campus superhero, 2) a mysterous floating advisor, and 3) a coven of malevolent songstresses. It moves slowly, but it is written by Shaenon Garrity (who is totally awesome) and has been illustrated by no less than three separate artists, which lends an interesting feel. Have a look! The story starts here.
