[Link] When I Grow Up [Date] 2/10/00 [Comments] 
This comic is a new favorite of mine. I was originally scared away by the title, which sounded boring as hell. However, I discovered that it's really an adult character-driven comic, and the cartoonist doesn't waste a lot of time milking or tidying up a situation so the jokes are fast and loose. I like the characters in this one a lot. They have a certain ordinary banality, despite some sillier background details, which makes their reactions to various comedic situations hilariously natural. The main character, Zoe Day, is a news anchor for a UHF station. She's eternally pissed off and refreshingly free swearing. I'm not sure how "When I grow Up" relates to the story except that WIGU is the call letters of Zoe's station; the "cast" page which shows the cast both in the present and (chillingly) at 13 years old offers perhaps another clue. The bottom of most of the pages contains a disclaimer reading: "New comic presented Monday - Saturday, unless anything bad happens or I give up hope." Update 2/1/02After many attempts by the author to end the comic, it looks like it's finally over. He ended it on an upbeat note this time and switched to a new comic which is turning out pretty cool. The archive is still there, but I'm still going to miss Zoe, and of course Neal, who almost had his own comic.
