Pibgorn

The on-line comic strip Pibgorn recently picked up a mermaid as a supporting character. You can see her here.

The strip started as a Christmas story about a fairy who took one last flight for the year with a mouse friend. Her wings iced up and she was revived by a church organist who put her in a cup of warm tea.

Originally planned as an innocent joke-of-the-day strip it quickly changed to lengthy stories suitable for gathering into graphic novels. Besides Pibgorn (Pib), the main characters are Geoff, Pibgorn's lover and Drusilla (Dru), a succubus possessed of great power. Both Pibgorn and Dru are usually naked but covered with natural coloring. The mermaid is also naked (topless) and spends her time face-down in the water or in silhouette.

The current story involves a golden genie who hangs out with the mermaid when he is not being summoned through wormholes. Apparently Pib was sucked through a wormhole in the other direction.

The current story began here with the mermaid appearing the next day.

Pibgorn ran a text story with illustrations about a mermaid three years ago starting here. Technically, this was about a Tookora who is sort of a flying mermaid.
