Wapsi Square, a webcomic by Paul Taylor
Wapsi Square is named for the fictitious neighborhood in Minneapolis where the characters live. Its protagonist is Monica Villarreal, a feisty, busty, 4'10" tall latina who has recently moved from a safe world of normalcy where all she had to question was her own inner demons, to a world of supernatural lunacy, drunken college girls who have the power to obliterate the universe, an Aztec golem named Tepoz who can make the best damned martini in the world, a psychologist demon barista, and a host of other characters, some of whom may just live downstairs from you.
The characters in Wapsi Square are familiar because they are us: people struggling each day to make the best and most of ourselves, quiet the inner voices that tell us we'll never amount to anything, make sense of the madness around us, find happiness and make a difference in the world.
