In our recurring theme of celebrating projects and content from Icrontians, I’m happy to introduce a new webcomic by our very own Nicole Lapointe, entitled “Lumberjacks with Swords”, a webcomic set somewhere in the northern woods (vaguely Canadian-ish), in a world in which lumberjacks cut down trees with mighty swords, face enemies like super-polite vikings and death-metal centurions, and eat a lot of pancakes. Or something like that.
You’ll meet characters such as Jack, Jill, and Jacques. There’s Gnorm the Gnome, and many threats to the Lumberjack way of life to deal with. Of course, no Lumberjack day would be complete without a hearty pancake breakfast.
I asked Nicole what her inspiration was, and she said “Something ridiculously manly.” I can’t talk to this girl, I have no idea where her head is.
At any rate, the comic is just getting started, but you can subscribe to her RSS, visit the site, or like her page on Facebook. It’s also on Twitter at @lumberjackcomic.
Expect new comics once a week, depending on how busy Nicole is serving me hand and foot, rubbing my head, making me cupcakes, or grooming the dogs.
