Vegfolk Fables
221 episodes
by Codex & Q
We tossed ‘Bone’, ‘VeggieTales’, and a wee dram o’ whiskey into the blender, mashed the humor button, and poured the story onto the Web. With a splash of Oz and a sprinkle of Narnia, Vegfolk Fables is an all-age-friendly fantastical adventure. No vegetarians please.

Chuck Dixon’s Avalon
106 episodes
by The Legend Chuck Dixon
From the mean streets of Moseley to the oceanfront villas of Diamond Beach, crime affects everyone in Avalon. And the presence of the superhumans known around the city as "specials" hasn't necessarily made life for the average citizen any better, since the local vigilantes are as apt to demand payment for their protection as they are to provide their services for free. The crime-fighting duo of King Ace and Fazer are true heroes, not vigilantes, as Fazer explains the difference to a reporter interviewing him for the Avalon Sentinel. A hero doesn't expect thanks or payment, he helps people because it is the right thing to do. And a hero doesn't kill anyone, ever. All Fazer and the big guy are trying to do is make everyday life better for everyone who lives in their city. But even heroes face temptation.

Right Ho Jeeves
64 episodes
by The Legend Chuck Dixon
RIGHT HO, JEEVES tells of the travails of the inimitable Bertie Wooster, who is summoned from the comforts of #3A Berkley Mansions, London to Brinkley Manor by his imperious Aunt Dahlia. Love is in the air and Wodehousian shenanigans are afoot, as Wooster is not the sole guest at the manor, which is also playing host to the fairy-gazing Madeline Basset as well as the famous newt-fancier Augustus Fink-Nottle. Adapted from the classic Wodehouse novel by comics legend Chuck Dixon and drawn by SAVAGE SWORD OF CONAN illustrator Gary Kwapisz.

Episode 56: A Silent Contemplation

From an impressive mansion on a hill overlooking the main highway out of town, a dark figure silhouetted by the brilliant sunshine looked out a massive picture window at the glorious view. The farms and pastures of the little people speckled the valley floor framed by forested hills. In the distance, Mike’s heavily loaded truck could be seen, gradually slaloming the gentle curves of the road until the truck finally swept out of sight.

56 A Silent Contemplation panel 3

The figure stood in motionless silence for a long minute. One hand held a glass of wine. Their other hand absentmindedly stroked a cat who’d climbed up on the windowsill seeking attention. Then, President Buchmann closed the shades, poured themself another glass of wine, took a Zoloft, and fed their cats.

He wanted to test the new Gender Awareness in Academia (GAIA) Act, but high-school biology teacher, Mike Andrews, got more than he bargained for. Arrested and thrown in jail for the crime of teaching the biology of sex determination and for refusing to affirm a student’s gender identity, Mike faces a show trial amid a media circus. The Wise of Heart offers a timely tale of transgender mania as author Hans G. Schantz re-imagines and updates the story of the Scopes Monkey Trial.
