 Pibgorn - Comixpedia
Pibgorn is a webcomic by Brooke McEldowney which started March 11 2002.
Pibgorn is published on the web by United Feature Syndicate (an unusual move by the syndicate), but does not appear in printed form at this time, although McEldowney has repeatedly said he would like to eventually publish Pibgorn as a book.
Possibly due to that, Pibgorn is characterized by involved story arcs which may seem better suited to a graphic novel than a daily comic, and it is also notable for its creative use of color and large format, attributes not usually associated with daily print comics.

Here are some of the creator's character descriptions: "Pibgorn is a woodland fairy who feels that her weltanschauung cannot be satisfied by lugging dewdrops from leaf to petal and back again, nor by weaving gossamer magic upon the morning mists.
And when Pibgorn was explaining the concept of Christmas trees to Maurice the field mouse, I initially wondered if the fairy society she comes from was somehow supposed to be Christian, or at least observe the same seasonal decorative customs as the surrounding Xmas-obsessed humans.
The first strip I saw when I went to the website was the one for April 4th, where Pibgorn's wings are trussed to two separate stalks and she's apparently about to be subjected to the fairy equivalent of being drawn and quartered--not exactly the most encouraging or comprehensible point to enter the story.

The Welsh Pibgorn is mentioned in the laws of Hywel Dda (codified 940â€"50) which specify that every master employing a pencerdd (chief musician) should give him the necessary harp, crwth and pibgorn.

Pibgorn's characters and plots (and those of McEldowney's other strip, 9 Chickweed Lane) are intelligent, witty, sexy, ferocious, wry, innocent, complicated, literate, sarcastic, humane, knowing, elegant and sophisticated.
McEldowny gets what makes women sexy and in both Pibgorn and 9 Chickweed Lane he is not afraid to let his female characters be sensual and sexy.
Unfortunately, Pibgorn will probably never be a Sunday comic in your typical newspaper because of that, but we can always hope.

It's a very well drawn, eye-appealling comic about a fairy named Pibgorn.
Now, it's a bit slow in that each day only has maybe 2-3 panels, so the story takes awhile to unfold, but once you get into it, it's quite good.
