"A Softer World is a comic that was created by Emily Horne and Joey Comeau so that people would recognize them as important artistic geniuses. Sometimes the "comic" is sad or harsh. It should be noted that this is in the tradition of George Simenon's 'romans durs' (or 'hard novels') and not in the lesser traditions of comics like Peanuts or anything else not French. Comeau is a French name. (Pronounced kuh-moe, by the way. Joey is very important, please say his name correctly. Emily is also very important but her name is easier to pronounce.) "This is one of my favourite websites. I like their use of photography to get across messages, with little captions, in a cartoon-strip style. The messages they portray are both tongue-in cheek... I'd like to try to incorporate their style into my photography poster, but make it more serious.
Some examples of their work:
