A Softer World

A Softer World is a webcomic by the writer Joey Comeau and artist Emily Horne, both Canadians.

Horne stated that "Even those [strips] that are overtly hilarious usually manage to make you feel a bit guilty about your laughter.

Hovering one's cursor over the comic will prompt the image title to appear, which contains an extra punchline or commentary related to the strip overall.

In May 2010, a feature was added to display this text when clicking or tapping on the comic image, for users on mobile phones and touchscreen devices, which lack a "hovering" function.

[citation needed] In a 2008 article for ComicMix, reviewer Rick Marshall said the strip "is always a gamble.

"[8] Writing after the final strip, Gary Tyrrel of Fleen called the series "one thousand two hundred and forty-three perfect little pillows of hope/despair, melancholy/sanguinity, [and] sexiness/moresexiness".
