Questionable Content: Too indie for my own good.

Meet Faye. Faye is a character on one of the cooler and better executed Web-based comics I've run across: Questionable Content.

Faye lives with Marten (the "show's" central character), and they enjoy a roommate relationship based on the stereotypical, yet strangely unannoying Scully/Mulder, Dave/Maddy, etc. sexual tension employed by countless sitcoms. Will they or won't they? Oooo, they almost opened up that episode.... Are they gonna kiss????? You know the drill.

The storyline revolves around these two indie rock hipsters living in an anonymous northern city: rest assured that with this entire cast of characters (robot computer sex-addict pet, best friends with 17 year-old jailbait girlfriends, recovering goth rocker boss, annoying, yet lovable ex-goth co-worker, et al) wacky indie hijinks are sure to ensue.

The artwork is superb, and the scripts, while clichéd, are strangely addictive. You can't read just one.

Start at episode one and keep going. Pretty cool stuff.

BTW, I'm not really the comic book geek in the extended family. That would be Suzi.
