Bruno (web comic)

Bruno is an online web comic written and drawn by Christopher Baldwin since 1996 January 1, still online as of 2004 September 22. It is a look at the life of a introspective young woman set in the real world.

Bruno's theme differs from the usual webcomics that tends reflect video game or student subculture, and instead deals with real, often controversial, issues through the daily life of the main character and her friends. The comic is characterised by a great deal of sometime angst-ridden dialogue between the characters, and occasionally punctuated by a single panel with a contemplative scene without words. The comic, which often seems to have autobiographical elements, follows the life of Bruno from quitting college, visiting friends in various American towns, travelling to Europe, falling into and out of relationships, and trying to publish a novel.

The backgrounds are mostly of real-life places converted to black and white outlines pencilled over and shaded with cross-hatching. Each character is drawn as a representation of a real person but with its own stylistic characteristic.
