Books like Sinfest

I really love this comic. Ishida's artwork is great and his characters (even God and the Devil) are all unique, funny, and easily relatable. It's definitely not for everyone (the humor is pretty out there most of the time), and some people will probably be offended by the depictions of religious figures (such as God using hand puppets to mock the other characters), but Ishida uses them to address ethical and philosophical questions in an amusing and insightful manner. I particularlly loved when one of the characters asked God why he created a world full of pain and suffering, to which the Almighty responds "Because it wasn't THERE."As a webcomic, there isn't really a central story, it's more like the comics you will find in the average newspaper (though I doubt any paper would have the balls to print something as risque' as this), but there are several groups of characters that we follow around. The "main" story focusing on the misadventures of Slick, Monique, and their friends is usually very adult in tone, but is frequently interrupted with more family-friendly strips dealing with (what I believe to be) the cartoonist's cat and dog attempting to amuse themselves, calligraphy lessons, Mad Libs, and other random bits. This can be somewhat annoying for people who would prefer to follow Slick & Co. around (and are wondering if he and Monique will ever get together), but I think these somewhat experimental strips allow the cartoonist to take a break, relax, and decide what to do next. And as far as I'm concerned, as long as Ishida continues to churn out these little gems, he can do whataver he wants.
