Out There: Difference between revisions

''[http://www.outtherecomic.com Out There]'' is a webcomic[[Web Comics|web comic]] by R. C. Monroe. It focuses on the exploits of Miriam, a hedonistic, self-centered, self-destructive bartender with a good heart and a strong desire to change for the better—as long the change doesn’t interfere with her endless search for pleasure. Yes, she's a bit conflicted. ''Out There'' features an ensemble cast (Miriam’s various friends, lovers, ex-lovers, would-be lovers, etc.), some of whom are occasionally featured in their own arcs, but it’s mostly The Miriam Show, because she wouldn't have it any other way.

Using a four-panel (five in the early days), black-and-white [[Newspaper Comic]] format, ''Out There'' updated six days a week without fail from June 12, 2006 to June 4, 2011. The week of June 6-10, 2011 marked the beginning of a five week strip - the author citing time constraints and the inability to support himself solely on the strip as reasons why he cut the Saturday strip. On March 21, 2016, the comic went on hiatus.

''Out There'' is a "quiet" comedy; there's a punchline at the end of every strip but the humor is generally subtle, understated. At its heart, ''Out There'' is a character drama, and its characters are well-developed, complex, and realistic.
