Sordid City Blues is an ongoing^[when?], loosely structured graphic-novel style romance/slice of life web comic, or "indie rock theological soap opera", as the site's header puts it. It focuses on the lives and loves of a bunch of twenty-somethings living in the semi-fictional "Sordid City" (actually a thinly disguised Boston/Cambridge). It contains theological ruminations and nude scenes in roughly equal proportions. It is a dominantly black and white comic although spot color is used to identify and accentuate the key players. Each key character has one item or clothing detail in a specific color.

Edna: Luther doesn't believe in premarital sex.
Spiro: He ought to; it's real. I've seen it myself.

Tropes used in Sordid City Blues include:

Manic Pixie Dream Girl - Edna
Five-Man Band - Owns Big Mecha is a three-man band with no Big Guy, but Luther, Barkey and Yoshimi fit the roles of The Hero, The Lancer and The Smart Guy / The Chick, respectively.
Deadpan Snarker / Tsundere - Brandi
Author Avatar - Charlie Cane
Meet Cute - Girl loses puppy, Boy finds puppy, Boy gives Girl puppy back.
Series Hiatus - two in a row, in late 2007/early 2008, apparently due to Creator Breakdown.
