Jonny Crossbones, the best webcomic you’ve never read.
I want you all to bookmark Jonny Crossbones.
Of course I want you to read it. Granted, I am aware that people may not have time right this instant to jump in, but bookmark it. You’ll be glad you did. Hands down, this is the best webcomic I’ve read in general, and it’s a virtual unknown. I nominated it for the WCCAs, but I worry I was the only one who did. I want to change that. I want this to win awards next year, this is definitely one of the most deserving comics I have ever seen.
I just adore everything about Les McClane’s work here. Jonny’s design is incredibly iconic. His characterization is the traditional, affable and brave hero with loads of potential not yet reached and he’s like a modern version of Tintin in that sense. In fact, the comic echoes Tintin so well, I’d almost say that this is like a modern-rework of that style of story with McClane’s art being arguably nearly on par with Hergé’s.
The comic has a well-done cast, Jonny being the normal guy we all get swept up with, despite how different he looks in comparison to everyone else. Gretchen is adorable, she’s brave, cute, and the daughter of a famous explorer.
So, please bookmark Jonny Crossbones, the updates may be a bit slow right now, but the comic is so worth your time.
A couple of other notes on Les McClane, he’s the artist of the popular indie-series, The Middleman, which is getting a TV show. I believe the pilot is finished. So keep an eye out for this guy. He’s awesome.
PS- Check out his tutorials.

I like the comic, a lot, actually. I’ve been reading it for probably about a year now, so it always bothers me to see it hasn’t updated.
