Yesterday I tripped upon this pretty sweet comic by Jim Rugg hosted on boing boing that I had to share, because cool stuff needs to be shared.

Street Angel, as described by wikipedia:

The story takes place in Wilkesborough, the worst ghetto in Angel City. The title character is 12-year-old Jesse Sanchez (13-year-old after a bout of time travel), “a dangerous martial artist… and the world’s greatest homelessskateboarder.” She handles ninjas, pirates and hunger with skill, aplomb, and help from her friends. The comic is a satire on superhero comics as well as the Golden Age era with its ridiculous dialog, unexplained characters, and flashy effects.

That pretty much wraps it up. I will add that the strip is just a lot of fun.

You can read all of the strips of Street Angel here.
