looking for a webcomic...

This is a complete shot in the dark, but I remember clicking a link somewhere that lead to this cute comic written by and about the life of a high school kid by the name of Adam or something. Does this ring a bell for anyone? I'm trying to find it again to share with the kiddies.

Was it http://www.allancomic.com?

YES!!! Thank you! I'm trying to put together a list of fun comics for my comic class to read. Some students in the class have only read Calvin & Hobbes, so I'm trying to introduce them to the wider world of comics. Any recommendations? I've already pimped Gunnerkrigg and Dinosaur Comics as two very different kinds of awesomeness.

Should be noted that Allan has the sex occasionally, albeit in a safe-for-work way. I don't know if that would be a problem under the circumstances.

Other fun comics: Daisy Owl (http://www.daisyowl.com) is cute and funny and is a little bit like a less-depressing Achewood. XKCD is pretty universal in its appeal. I like Sam and Fuzzy a lot (although it's currently in guest comic mode.) And there's always Dr. McNinja. And Skin Horse! (http://www.webcomicsnation.com/shaenongarrity/skinhorse/series.php) Skin Horse is wacky.

Most of the other comics I like are either probably pitched too old for the demographic (nobody wants to have to sit down and explain why Henry Rollins as the pied piper is funny) , too depressing/gory/filthy/evil, too weird or not really comics per se.

Well, I just linked to the archives of Allan. Given that some of the students read Cyanide and Happiness, I think they can deal with a bit of "real life" language and topics. XKCD is also pretty sex-filled, too, so...

I'll peruse the other two and see if the kids would like them.

Didn't think there'd be a problem, but thought I'd check.

Hmm... Girl Genius? Kate Beaton (so long as language isn't an issue)?

Ha ha, the autobiographical style kind of reminds me of sushusketches, though Sushu's are more educational!! He has a neat voice, though.
