These comic strips, by Nick Seluk, encompass a number of continuing features including, a heart and brain that talk to each other, a Yeti monster (who isn\u2019t very monstrous) and a medical doctor. Many are cerebral, some silly, others comment on \u00a0relationships or society.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_774\" style=\"width: 410px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcbilgrey.com\/marcbilgreyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/liz-climo.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-774\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-774 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marcbilgrey.com\/marcbilgreyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/liz-climo.jpg\" alt=\"liz climo webcomics\" width=\"400\" height=\"545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.marcbilgrey.com\/marcbilgreyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/liz-climo.jpg 400w, https:\/\/www.marcbilgrey.com\/marcbilgreyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/liz-climo-220x300.jpg 220w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-774\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Little World of Liz Climo<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Liz Climo <\/strong>(<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/LizClimo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@LizClimo<\/a>). Her comic strips are about anthropomorphic animals. But unlike many webcomics, hers are gentle with a quiet, understated humor. Liz works as a character artist on <em>The<\/em> <em>Simpsons<\/em> TV show, which, by contrast, is the opposite in tone from her strips. Her cute animals are engaged in very human situations and their reactions often reveal basic truths. There is a warm, childlike innocence to her viewpoint, yet it is also very wise.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_777\" style=\"width: 189px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.marcbilgrey.com\/marcbilgreyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/crunch-of-leaves-1.jpg\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-777\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-777 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.marcbilgrey.com\/marcbilgreyblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/02\/crunch-of-leaves-1.jpg\" alt=\"Incidental Comics - Grant Snider &quot;Thanks&quot; 11\/22\/17 webcomics \" width=\"179\" height=\"210\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-777\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Incidental Comics &#8211; Grant Snider &#8220;Thanks&#8221; 11\/22\/17<\/p><\/div>\n<p><strong>Incidental Comics<\/strong> by Grant Snider (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/incidentalcomics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@incidentalcomics<\/a>). Grant\u2019s multi-panel strips (often taking up a whole page) are either\u00a0 slice of life stories or non-linear narratives that often have a philosophical aspect to them. They are much like illustrated poems. His comics about daily life have a beautiful quality to them not often found in this medium.<\/p>\n<p>Marc Bilgrey is the writer of a new webcomic called Tom\u2019s Tiki Bar (facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Toms-Tiki-Bar-1776628262356792\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">@Toms-Tiki-Bar<\/a>).
