Bloom has a fan in England

Gabby's perfect Sunday… comic

A friend sent me his copy of Bloom by Kevin Panetta, which I inhaled in a single sitting. I also love the graphic novel of Nimona by ND Stevenson which I bought after adoring the movie. My absolute favourite Sunday Comic though is the fantasy sex comedy webcomic Oglaf. It's updated every Sunday and is a world of silly, rude fun.
