              He may look like Death, but he's not really Death

Via kisrael [1], I found this link to Buttercup Festival [2], an odd little
web comic. The artwork is fantastic in that ink and watercolor kind of way,
but the actual comic itself is rather sureal. The main character may dress
like Death, and carry a scythe like Death, but he really isn't Death. The
artist also does another web comic, Green Evening Stories [3] where the
artwork is even more fantastic [4] in that ink and watercolor kind of way
than Buttercup Festival.

Following some links (Elliott Garbauskas' Buttercup Festival, reviewed by
Shaenon K. Garrity) [5] I came across a well researched article on the
history of web comics [6]. Quite interested, and little did I realize that
Dr. Fun [7] was not the first Internet based comic (web based, possibly, but
not Internet-only).
