Edible Dirt is an absurd strip in the tradition of The Far Side or Rhymes With Orange, but it has a few innovations. First, the art is rendered in watercolor with a lively, children's-book feel and real talent. Second, Edible Dirt contains a lot more profanity, severed limbs and nudity than Far Side. Interestingly, though, the humor seems more compassionate, if you can say that about a comic strip, than you might expect.

As a bonus, I got to Edible Dirt from Two Lumps, which is about Ebenezer [smart] and Snootch [dumb], two cats. SailorZeo recommended this one to me. It's stereotypical and silly, but very enjoyable, promarily because of the cats' expressions.

Oh yes. And Snooch's "shocked" or "horrified" expression is priceless. Great example in the recent strip where they crossed Cat-A-Might off the list of superhero names. :)
