Do you ever just look at a CSS tech demo that implements some neat gradient-based transition effect using pure CSS, and think to yourself "a plain image in a data URI has to be smaller than this"

Fallen into the Garden (https://is.gd/sfDmLo) – I liked this artist's previous comic, and while this continues last year's themes of space-faring culture-shock among sagely women, this one is more romantic and visceral. (Maybe the conclusion is a little abrupt, though.)

Bagatto (https://is.gd/toPJhy) – This comic is a platter of iridescent, sumptuous art and surreal dream scenes… maybe it doesn't have much to say writing-wise, but it successfully plays to its own strengths.

Aimé (https://is.gd/MAFHBU) – What initially seemed like a somewhat standard fairytale-type story with a simplistic art style managed to shock me with a few surprisingly touching scenes (including the climax) as well as several moments of artistic beauty.

Extraterrestrial (https://is.gd/yvkU1T) – A cute story with incredible colouring. Even if the characters and expressions might be a little too hammy, the dialogue is funny enough to keep up the story's momentum.

Sharpie's Mission of Rage and Justice (https://is.gd/7VXq9y) – A fun little wacky comic with great character interactions and dialogue that feels like it fits a lot into a little.

Li'l Burgers (https://is.gd/KpFGfM) – Funny and impressively well-drawn social satire about the contradictions of patriotism and globalisation, where national symbols violently and fruitlessly attack their own cultural irrelevance.

In Case of Turbulence (https://is.gd/PcPtrf) – While this is just a series of disposable memoir-type gag comics without any real conclusion, it gets my nod just for how snappy the punch-lines are.

Ladies of the Living Princess (https://is.gd/z7AfuL) – Despite a slow start (and somewhat muted ending), this grows to be quite the entertaining supernatural story with a surprisingly fun main couple.

Dead Horses (is.gd/cem4L8) – This one EASILY ranks as the best among the ones I tried this year. Excellent imagery and pacing, with a simple but not entirely predictable story, and characters who keep unfolding even far later than you'd expect.

Foreign Bodies (https://is.gd/Ii3SUN) – Much as this one has very good setup and a likeable main character, to me it spells out the pivotal reveal way too bluntly and reductively. It's a very "Shortbox-like horror story", truth be told, but that's not necessarily a knock.

As The Rot Blooms (https://is.gd/4hk393) – This one feels like it ends when it's about to get good, but even before that, it's not too bad as a slow-burn horror story, with very solid expressions and panel composition.

Big Fortress (https://www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p/big-fortress-by-chlo-ro) – The bulbous designs of this comic's characters give them a soft clay-like feel, which helps a lot at making this spot-black-drenched dark fantasy dungeon feel like a rundown home.

Girl Yaoi (shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...) – Exactly what a comic called "Girl Yaoi" would be. A messy romance explored through BL references so specific that even *I* recognised one of them. This comic DOES contain actual pornography, so, praise the sun / caveat emptor (select one).

Leftovers (www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...) – OK, this is a mess. Flow of events is often incomprehensible, and the panels frequently clash with each other for attention. Still, the strange premise and relationship amuses me a lot, and the panels in isolation are good.

A Little Beauty (www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...) and White Whale (www.shortboxcomicsfair.com/shop-sq4wj/p...) - I feel like both of these pair up well: bite-size quasi-paranormal horror stories about obsession, with great use of spot colour and memorable concluding imagery.
