It's been a slow autumn for High Design on the Web, but there's some fascinating ferment at the edges. Christopher Baldwin's Bruno took a sudden dark turn this summer, then packed up and went to Europe; Baldwin's meticulously crafted pen-and-ink is particularly ill-suited to Web comics, and that makes his work singularly fascinating. Scott McCloud has started a series of daily one-hour improvs, an interesting counterpoint to his wonderful exercise, the 24-hour comic. Finally, thanks to McCloud, a gorgeous, atmospheric, and ambitious Web strip: Justine Shaw's Nowhere Girl.
