Probably rude just to leave it at shop talk. So I'll toss in a couple of recommendations.
Evan Dahm, who finished his short, surreal epic Rice Boy a while back (it's all on his site, definitely read it) has been working on another story in the world of Overside, Order of Tales. There's enough of it now to give a coherent storyline with hints of a rich world and well developed characters.
If you're interested in something a bit less surreal, you can't go wrong with Ursula Vernon's Digger. Hyenas, wombats and dead gods, what's not to like? The archives went free not long ago, so you can read the whole, fascinating epic from the start and fall in love with the characters like the rest of us.
For a third option, I'll give extremely high marks to an entry from France, Maliki. A wonderful variety of art, and a mix of everyday adventures, supernatural creatures, random meanderings and cats, with occasional visits by Skeletor. The artist is one of the designers for the wonderful Wakfu TV series, which I really, really wish they'd release an english subtitle of. The series, and the Maliki comic, are both in French, of course, but it's easy to tell what's going on regardless of whether you speak the language.
More later.

I presume you are a Monty Python fan ?
Definitely. I grew up watching British comedies on TV, so I've still got a soft spot for them. Monty Python, The Goodies, Good Neighbours/The Good Life, The Two Ronnies, Two's Company, all that stuff was great.
Although more people know the Pythons, so they end up more quotable.
