I just got over a super-cruddy cold. I hope yours clears up really soon! And I'm so sorry about your loss on Saturday.

otoh, I LOVE THE OLD MAN & HIS DOG! ♥!

For webcomics, I'm going to be obvious and rec Homestuck, both because it's awesome and I think you'd really groove on the multiple female characters (and some of the awesome dudes), AND because I want company in it. There's also Gunnerkrigg Court, which I stopped reading because I tend to drift easily, but its art is lovely and the protagonist & her best friend are fantastic.
