This seems to be my month for comic strips! This is the third one I'm linking to in two weeks. :)

Love and Capes by Thomas Zahler is a webcomic (also in print, actually) that is an affectionate parody of the best elements of Lois and Clark and the DC Universe. Even the name is LnC! Mark Spencer is a mild-mannered accountant who moonlights as the Caped Crusader; Abby Tennyson owns a bookstore and is his girlfriend/fiancee/wife, depending on where you are in the storyline. Light humor, deep friendships, a sweet romance, everyday life leavened with a dash of superheroics -- what more could you want?

(Also? The scene where they're on their honeymoon and the customs agent finds Mark's costume in his luggage and draws... certain conclusions regarding newlywed playacting made me laugh out loud.)

Anyway, the current storyline on the webpage (still set before their marriage -- the published comics are further along) involves Mark getting stranded light-years off-world with no way of getting home. Here's the panel in question, from Friday's strip:



Stargate and Douglas Adams! Tell me that doesn't make you want to read more. :)
