Somewhat Cure
Somewhat Cure is a defunct Futari wa Pretty Cure Sprite Comic that was run by Andrusi. It's an Affectionate Parody of Pretty Cure that appears to have stopped publishing after 79 strips at some point around September 2009. The site itself appears to have existed at least as late as 2013, but as of 2020 is nonfunctional.
Can be read at the Wayback Machine here. Be warned that that archive is somewhat piecemeal; not all strips can be accessed from others.
