PS 238

  PS 238 became known to me as a backup feature in Dork Tower. In simplest terms it's kindergarten superheroes. I always enjoyed the stories.
  I picked up my first full issue (#6) yesterday. The book is cute and fun and successfully carries the spirit of the short features to the longer story. It is one of those increasingly rare comics that I wouldn't feel unsettled about seeing in the hands of a nine-year-old. It doesn't have the more generic appeal of Halo and Sprocket, but it has fun with the superhero genre without requiring you to be a fanboy geek to enjoy the story.
  Looks like there are back issues available from the publisher. Of course, with six issues in the can, there may well be a trade coming soon.

I love Little Lulu. But only the later issues. Boy, did that Tubby get into some hijinx! There's a society for women cartoonists called "Friends of Little Lulu", obtw.

Is Halo and Sprocket still being published?
