Edit: After reading today's comic, you may have found yourself asking... what the heck is "Venuzeula?" Answer: A hilarious convergence of unfortunate typos that have now been edited away into oblivion.
Shh! (Pt. 2)
If no one minds, I think I might take a break from the usual Q&A this week... so that I can share all the cool wordless (or mostly wordless) comics you have all been telling me about!
My friend Michael will be happy to know that so many of you suggested his webcomic, Dawn of Time. Michael's strip isn't always silent, for reasons I wouldn't want to spoil. But there are plenty of great (and hilarious) visual-driven portions -- usually featuring titular mute cave-woman, Dawn -- that are embellished only with a handful of sound effects.
The Abominable Charles Christopher, another gorgeous online strip with a mute lead, frequently pulls off the same feat with equal success. (Not that the strips with dialogue are any less entertaining.) It's a beautiful piece of work... thanks to everyone who pointed it out to me!
Here's a bunch of your other suggestions. Some of them were completely new to me, while others were old favourites of mine as well!
• Gon is a long-running comedic manga about a short, large-headed dinosaur, and contains absolutely no dialogue, sound effects, or words of any kind.
• I haven't had a chance to read Mr. Amperduke yet, but apparently it's a 79-page epic about "town of lego-like people who do battle with an insect." It certainly looks pretty. I'm eager to check it out.
• Dr McNinja is usually rife with snappy dialogue, but the last 14 or so pages of the current story have been very visual-driven. There's still the odd line or two here and there, so this example is really kind of cheating a bit, but I'm using it anyway because Dr. McNinja is great.
There were plenty of others... I'm stopping now largely out of fatigue. But I'll be sure to mention some of the others in the future, after I've had a chance to have a look at them all. So may new comics to read!
