The New Belfry WebComics Index

This long running, regularly updated comic, has been giving a little dose of light humoured science fiction story telling every other week day, with occasional breaks, since 1998. In it's ten year run, it has only ever improved.

It combines good clear art work, with strong story telling, and a gentle sense of humour that will appeal to almost anyone. It is one of finest examples of furry comics, online or otherwise.

While there are some main characters who are very well designed and have a good story going, anything else can come up as a one-shot-episode if "it does not follow". On of the greatest syndicated comics of all time in my opinion.

A comic about business and focusing on engineering. The author takes many of the jokes from his own experience at Pacific Bell, and the rest from readers who have terrible co-workers and bosses. It's funny 'cus it's true...

Not only are the individual characters stunning and consistent, the backgrounds and use of space is superb. It is so shocking to find a comic of this caliber. The now completed story is compelling from start to finish and has an excellent ending.

I have never before or since seen such work. The manga style drawing is rough, but it feels like it needs to be that way. The use of watercolors is stunning. I think the ideal reader is someone who is at least a little interested in DDR, but it is not necessary. The story moves well, has just the right number of chapters for a finished story, and has the perfect ending, one you could never predict.

It is in black a white, but due to the ghost theme, the colors are transposed to dynamic effect. Funny, and quick.

Who knew it was so hard to be a badly drawn animal? This comic lets you in on the secret world of animal suffering. Don't forget to hover your mouse over the comic to get additional humorous insight!

With just 3 main characters, you would think there are only so many ways to get into trouble, but you would be wrong. Sam survives only because his enemies fight over how to get rid of him and encompass just about every party of the 40k human residents on the planet. Well worth the read, and the archives fly by.

There are not that many strips that have such a good start, continue to hold my attention but don't create high expectations in me. It is not clear where the strip is going, but it is fascinating to think about the concept.

Following the life of Greg Dean through his comic has been a great ride so far. He is funny, a video game player, lacks talent in the romance department, and has a great deal of friends in important rolls that complete a solid comic. I feel like I have seen the real Greg grow as an individual as a result of this comic. You will be able to tell within 25 or so comics if you will want to continue.

Not only is this a funny comic, but it also is a thought experiment and social commentary. In the thousands of comics, you find a myriad of common situations that are slightly warped by the fact that all the characters are animals and have different motivations that humans do. Furthermore, evolution, genetic engineering, and most especially racism are important topics that encourage the reader to look at his own world.

This is not a comic that relies on cheep gimmicks or full on sex appeal to get the reader's attention. This comic is witty, imaginative, original, and very well done. Its one of the biggest archives I've seen and a certainly long running comic which I don't see ending any time soon. I highly recommend this comic.

Superior. In the same league as Narbonic, and that puts it in the top 1%.

Superior. Read the archives.

I've been reading this strip every time it's updated, and I really dig the creator's writing style. Tommy Pritchard is gonna go far one day and I'll be there to watch his star rise.

I've been reading Freefall, going through the archive, and I can't think of another comic that's ever charmed me more. For me, the initial hook was Florence, the Bowman's Wolf girl engineer who's the star of the show- I know now that I'm an abject furry because I am just like the robots in the strip and can't help but throw my arms wide with cries of DOGGY! Florence is adorable, and also drawn with marvelous appeal, an exercise in iconic masterfulness. There are so few lines, but they're so perfect at times that you don't want more.
But there's another side that's hugely important, but so subtle that I feel it takes an experienced writer to spot. Freefall is brilliantly written. It has a tone that's as well established and dedicated as, say, 'Sheldon', though not identical to Sheldon- Freefall's tone is warm and appealing, thoughtful and often a bit nerdy and innocent. It's utterly family friendly, but furries will get a huge kick out of how wolflike Florence 'feels' as a character- she really is spot-on and thinks like a wolf, albeit an affectionate one.
The thing is, the dialogue is deceptively simple- so is haiku poetry- Freefall occupies a tidy, friendly little comic strip place and the dialogue walks that line with exuberant poise. It owes more to Asimov or Clarke than to 'Blade Runner', and even when it takes a topical shot it refuses to be 'dark' or 'edgy'.
It's like Florence herself- charming, uncomplicated, kind, trustworthy- and if you as a reader can be equally open-hearted, you may find yourself crying DOGGY! too :)

2P Start makes fun of video games, the people that play them, and the industries that make them! Beautifully crafted in Adobe Illustrator, this comic braves the storm of the gaming industry, picking and prodding at things we love and hate about our favorite games. If you like console gaming, don't pass this one up!

Dreamland Chronicles will amaze you with its Pixar-quality computer rendered scenes. The storyline is good as well, and it updates Monday To Friday. Follow Alexander Carter as he visits Dreamland while he sleeps, with his brother in the real world, out to unravel the mystery of Dreamland...

This is one of my very favorite comics. The art is great, and perfectly suited for the material. Characters are well defined, and have full backgrounds and histories. The story arcs can run quite long, and sometimes multiple levels deep, and they are almost without exception rather fun. The plot varies, as you might expect from a continuous format strip with no fixed end, but it keeps the reader wondering what will happen next. Even when the story arc is rather more dramatic, Amber never forgets that humor is the root of her comic. Very, very well done.

Few cartoonists can highlight the lighter side of science and social studies, but Mark Stanley conquers the challenge in the sci-fi epic Freefall. How -do- you terraform a planet? Will an A.I. abide by Asimov's Three Laws? Can you jump a cliff with a JATO rocket strapped to your truck? These and many other questions are explored with real science, mixed with the madcap antics of Captain Sam Starfall. Dedicated science fiction fans will enjoy cameo appearances by robots from other famous sci-fi shows and films.

For readers who can tolerate a slower pace of plot, Freefall offers a new stage for the old philosophers.
