Another webcomic review

Punch an' Pie is a follow-on to Queen of Wands, which used to be in my daily rotation. I managed not to hear that it had started for about a year, and I only recently made the effort to read it from start to current.

While Queen of Wands was drawn by Aeire, this new one is drawn by Chris Daily of Striptease. (Which I used to read and which still seems to be going but which fell out of my rotation a few years ago. Oops. That's a tough situation to correct.) I prefer Aeire's artwork; Chris's rendition of Aeire's characters isn't as attractive as either Queen of Wands or Striptease. But it's not bad.

Aeire's storylines are a little odd. About 80% of the strips seem to be one-off gags where the characters interact with each other in normal ways with a little bit of wittiness thrown in. Then every so often all of those innocent conversations turn out to have caused some subtle tectonic shift in the way the characters relate to each other. The stories are mostly about people learning how to be people, which was more relevant to my life a decade ago than it is now, but it's still fairly engaging.
