Odd-Fish Review
Saturday, May 3rd, 2008I’m not exactly sure how I stumbled across Odd-Fish. Regardless, it has stuck in my mind for quite a while, probably from a combination of it’s atrocious puns and well done black and white art. I’m glad I have finally gotten to the point where I can review it, even if it has taken a [...]
Such disturbing sea creatures.
Monday, April 21st, 2008I think that Odd Fish has one of the most fitting titles I’ve seen in a webcomic. Not just for the fact that the characters are odd, but for the fact that the whole tone of the comic is gently surreal. You won’t get a lot of big laughs from it, unless you love puns [...]

Artistically, Maycombe is quite nice to look at. The artistic [...]
Stick figures everywhere!
Monday, January 7th, 2008Order of the Stick, at first glance, might seem like it’s all about D&D, and would thus be impenetrable to those unfamiliar with the game. As someone with some knowledge of D&D (but not a great deal), I didn’t have any trouble following along, but I also think the comic isn’t that hard to access. [...]
