Amazingly, the internet is filled with websites that aren't boyhowdy.org. I am as alarmed at this as you are, if not moreso.

As a service to you, The Public, here is a listing of neato people. Just to confuse you, I have mixed in people I know with people I don't know. And I refer to them all by name, as if I knew them.

Because that's how I roll.

John Allison - When the internet implodes, Jesus shall appear and save a few chosen sites. And Scary-Go-Round shall be #1.

Matthew Bayne - I love his art intensely, and you'd think that'd be enough, but this guy has the best lettering. It is the perfect match to his art. I know that's a random thing to point out, but it's 100% true, and just makes his stuff even better.

Vincent Bondy - Is currently on an island. Screw that guy.

Vera Brosgol - One day, Vera will draw something that is not amazing, and no one will know how to respond. And then the moon will smash into the Earth.

Clio Chiang - is a color ninja, and I hope you can come to terms with that.

Tyler Choy - Once I had a dream that Tyler mailed me a steam engine. "How did he fit that into a tiny box?" I said, poking at it curiously, at which point it caught on fire and killed me and also my dog.

Devotchka - My #2 favorite live act ever, with albums that make me squishy in my heart.

Shaenon Garrity - Narbonic is one of the few webcomics that I have successfully foisted upon non-webcomics-readin' folks. It's worth the price of admission to ModernTales in of itself.

Stephen Heintz - The fact that Stephen exists gives me great comfort during the bad times. "Yes," I says to myself, I says, "I may have just hit a racoon with my car. But by God, somewhere, right now, Stephen Heintz is making a fart noise with his mouth."

Andy Helms - You see lots of artists on the internet, and, for whatever reason, never check up on them again. Yet I've been happily visiting Mr. Helms's internet empire for five years. So I guess I should put him on my links page. Stinkykick makes me happy deep in my happy-nethers.

Lea Hernandez - A professional badass and fellow Texan. We're going to start a gang, and wear spurs and tall hats, and we are going to steal the hell out of your lunch money.

Robin Hood - I LIKE ROBIN HOOD

The Johns - Are in a band I sort of like.

Lisa Jonte - She once mailed me a box full of candy and VHSs of the Emma Peel years of the Avengers, so I owe her a link. Also, she's cool or something.

Andrew Katz - My #1 favorite live musician. I hold out hope that he may have a website some day. This is the internet equivilent of burning a candle for a fella.

Hope Larson - Draws with the passion and skill of eighteen mutants genetically engineered to create amazing things.

Jenn Manley Lee - Dicebox is pretty much the only reason to be on the internet.

Kip Manley - is hurtin' for a fat lip.

Dylan Meconis - It is not fair to be smart AND talented AND funny, Dylan. You have to leave some for the rest of us.

Scott McCloud - He thinks very hard about things so I don't have to.

Erika Moen - This girl is a dynamo. There's no other way to put it. She laughs thunder and craps lightning.

Jon Morris - Draws the way God intended us to.

Bill Mudron - is a horrible man, and I hope he chokes on a railroad spike.

Chris Onstad - Achewood has no business being as hilarious as it is. It should not be funny. And yet it makes me laugh so hard ev-er-y day.

Dave Roman - I tried to frown while reading Astronaut Elementary once, and found that it was impossible.

Jeffrey Rowland - Just drew a comic in which he made out with one of his characters. That's breaking like fifty laws right there.

Tim Schafer - I want to marry his brain. (Also on this site: Comics by Scott Campbell, my current favorite comickler in the cosmos.)

Jason Sigala - made fun of me for pointing out that a car was blue. What's with that guy? Jeez. The car WAS blue. Come on.

The Asylum Street Spankers - Rocking out for the children. On the saw. And the mandolin. And the banjo.

Cap'n Wacky - Is not a person. He is actually two people. Actually, he is a website. Potato, potahtoh.

Jen Wang - If you are just chilling, and all of a sudden you freeze up and are siezed with Strong Feeling, and you find yourself murmuring, "Something awesome is happening," it probably means Jen is up to something.

Marilyn Scott Waters - One of the nicest people on the internet, with one of the coolest websites.

Steve Wolfhard - My favorite Canadian. He eats people like you for breakfast, processing your puny flesh directly into punches and awesomeness. His drawings make you uncomfortable even as you love them. And you will love them.
