Created by online game developer Kinney, Greg Heffley has starred in a Web
book of the same name on
www.funbrain.com
since May 2004; this version is just as engaging. Kinney does a
masterful job of making the mundane life of boys on the brink of
adolescence hilarious. Greg is a conflicted soul: he wants to do the
right thing, but the constant quest for status and girls seems to
undermine his every effort. His attempts to prove his worthiness in the
popularity race (he estimates he's currently ranked 52nd or 53rd) are
constantly foiled...

The
Arrival
by Shaun Tan
- Tan captures the displacement and awe with which immigrants respond to their
new surroundings in this wordless graphic novel. It depicts the journey of one
man, threatened by dark shapes that cast shadows on his family's life, to a new
country. The only writing is in an invented alphabet, which creates the
sensation immigrants must feel when they encounter a strange new language and
way of life. A wide variety of ethnicities is represented, and the sense of
warmth and caring for others, regardless of race, age, or background...

Order Of The Stick Volume 1: Dungeon Crawlin' Fools
The Order of the Stick Volume 2: No Cure for the Paladin Blues
- A comedic fantasy webcomic based on pencil and paper roleplaying games,
particularly Dungeons and Dragons, and its accompanying system, d20. The
world the characters inhabit is similar to that depicted in Dungeons & Dragons,

of the strip is based on the characters being aware of the game rules which
govern their lives... very popular with young D&D fans!
