it’s a webcomic written and drawn by tracy j. butler, set in 1927 st. louis. we follow the staff of a failing speakeasy as they struggle to keep their business afloat. chaos and a lot of murder ensues. it started in 2006 and still updates – no particular schedule, but always, always worth the wait. i’ve been a loyal reader for a decade now. it’s dark, funny, has SO much research put into it, and has some mindbogglingly gorgeous art. it was always great, but as the years have gone by it’s just gotten better and better. some samples:

this was all done by one person.

one. person.

ONE. PERSON.
