Girls With Slingshots
June 6th, 2008This week’s comic is, in a way, balance to last week’s. Girls With Slingshots is about women and their ways of approaching some of the same real-life situations as the Butter Nut Squash guys do. Well, this strip might not be the best example of the topic, but it does elicit a chuckle (from me).
I really like Danielle Corsetto’s style. The vector lines are smooth and the abstract hand-drawn elements are clever. Look at the candle in these frames, very nice!  Enjoy this comic, enjoy it all day …because there are almost 500 strips already and they keep coming at the rate of 5 per week! Remember, folks, you heard about it here before Ms Corsetto’s hand fell off.
And I really like the sideline of the anthropomorphic, sombrero-wearing, talking Scotch-Irish (”Ah like t’call it ‘Skirish’.”) cactus. So much of GWS is funny because it is real to make this extraordinarily funny because it is not real.
