Hm. Brenda Starr or Boondocks. What does Josh think?

I just ran across a site called Josh Reads. It's short for "Josh Reads Comics (So You Don't Have To)". The upshot of the blog? This guy reads daily comics--a lot of them--and reviews those that he feels deserve reviewing or those that spark his interest in a tangential topic. It simple principle and the posts are great, but the real jewel of the site is the comments section of the page. Nearly every comment is hilarious or thought-provoking or otherwise worthy of sharing with fellow readers of the blog. Josh Reads has created an outstanding community out of a very simple concept: I'll read the comics page and let you know what I think about it and--hey!--why don't we all talk about what's going on socially, comically, politically or whateverly on the modern comics page. So simple, so good.

By the way, I especially recommend his post--and the subsequent comments--about today's (1/26/05) For Better or For Worse. Also note that as of today, you can find the website at either Josh Reads or The Comics Curmudgeon--the recently changed title of the site.
