Later today, I’ll be post­ing PLotW¹ but before that hap­pens here’s a dif­fer­ent link that you should really check out. Gos­samer Com­mons is a rel­a­tively recent web­comic, started back in March 2005 by Eric Burns and Greg Holkan. Eric writes, Greg draws. The premise is some­thing like so; the main char­ac­ter, Keith, has saved the life of a fairy child. Since he did this while know­ing that see­ing the fairy would mark him for death²; the Fairies owe him 1 boon of Keith’s choos­ing. As Keith has longed to be a pub­lished author; he requests, as his boon, that the Fairies give him a muse so he can great the great Amer­i­can novel. A novel that will inspire gen­er­a­tions to come and will be read by annoyed col­lege fresh­men four hun­dred years from now. :) Mr. Holkan uses a vari­ety of meth­ods in his art­work on the strip and so far it’s work­ing really well, but the thing that keeps me com­ing back and read­ing the new strip is the writ­ing (done by Mr. Burns.). Since I’m not much of a writer myself; I charge you with look­ing at today’s strip for an exam­ple how good this strip can be.

Keep up the good work fel­las, we’ll be watch­ing you!
