I found a new Web Comic today that’s pretty interesting.
I followed a link from Girls With Slingshots over to Nothing Better.
So far I have only read the first book/installment/chapter of Nothing Better, but it’s off to a good start. The main characters are a pair of young women just starting school at a Lutheran college (40 minutes from Minneapolis – St. Olaf?)
They don’t know each other and end up as roommates.
What makes it very interesting is that one is pretty religious and the other is an atheist.
So far Jane, the religious one, doesn’t smoke, doesn’t drink and I’d be willing to bet she’s a virgin. She’s pretty naive.
Katt, the atheist, drinks, smokes, likes to party and seems pretty worldly.
I’m not sure where the comic is going to go, and that’s half the fun, but I hope it doesn’t get bogged down in stereotyping the atheist.
I sure hope the comic doesn’t become preachy about religion.
Update: Okay, now this is too funny. They are driving to the bike shop – and they drive past the Walker Library in Uptown (the Uptown movie theatre is even in the background) and end up at the Flynn Brothers bicycle shop. It’s so obviously Flanders Brothers (except there is no parking lot in front of Flanders Brothers) – just up the street from my house!
