teridian introduced me to Something Positive back in 2002. Written and inked by kobold, Something Positive follows Davan, a cynical Texan expatriate in Boston, his local friends, and his relatives back in his homeland. Always entertaining, frequently provocative, and often possessing a savage wit--or, as demonstrated in the first comic, just plain savage--is a must-read.
kobold has just finished a recent series of strips entitled "In Jesus' Name," following Davan's parents back in Texas as they tried to prevent a cheerless woman from cancelling their church's annual Eastern children's festival, on the grounds that guilt rather than joy should be the emotion dominating Easter celebrations (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8). kobold treats the issue sensitively; or, at least, about as sensitively as you would have a right to expect, given the precedents of his other Something Positive comics. The final panel of the final strip in the series is quietly moving.
Go, read.
