One of today's installments of "must be seen web comics" is the enigmatic and often head-explodingly cute Patches by Kelly Vivanco. These are short, semi-daily affairs that usually encompass a single thought or exchange. It's quirky, and often makes me laugh out loud. Or at least snort softly to myself.

Paul Taylor's Wapsi Square is not my usual type of comic, but I enjoy the art, and there are bits of mystery woven into the stories of otherwise everyday folks. You really ought to start at the beginning if you intend to read it. You'll find it starts with more stand-alone strips as charcters are introduced. The comic at this point is a continuous story in a series of arcs, so reading the current one will probably make exactly no sense if you haven't gotten the back story. The art has morphed quite a bit since the beginning; though I liked it at the start, I think it's really come into its own now.
The main character is Monica, a girl who who specializes in art/artifacts from Latin America at her local museum. Throw in a cheeky bunch of friends, and the Aztec god of alcohol(?), and voila! Wapsi Square!
