Sylvia is a computer girl from WWII. She Died in 1948 and haunts her mother's house. A writer/journalist named Oscar rents the house...
She and Oscar hit it off pretty well after he manages to stand back up.
They kinda dig each other. But there are some problems with that, obviously.
Wilde Life is full of really well composed panels and artful, charming pages.
As well as adorable stuff. (And also, scary stuff. And pretty stuff.)
See? Adorable.
But if you're a reader, writer, painter, or artist of any kind, there are so many things to catch. Slaughterhouse Five for one thing.
Charlotte's Web for another of many many references.
Chapter Art is full page, and amazing.
This is Clifford. He's another literary reference. You'll see.
Oscar takes everything in stride pretty well, but occasionally, he realizes just how bizarre his life has become. And it's hilarious.
I'm not affiliated with Pascalle. Just a big fan who thinks people should see her work. check it out over at http://www.wildelifecomic.com/comic/1 and if you like it, back her on Patreon, or check out the Kickstarter that's happening right now too! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/lepas/wilde-life-volume-one
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

Sounds a bit like Being Human without the bruding vampire. Miss that show!
BelfryBats
Aside from the story being extremely interesting, Wilde Life's references are delightful and plentiful.
luvas
He's the man who drew that stick figure who asked "can I be drawn better?", and then asked for beauty and intelligence and called him father
Scionic
I had to look that up. You're right, Oscar DOES look like that guy!
brimicidal
There went an hour. I'm not sorry
Butane9000
Nor should you be.
Scionic
Believe me, I know how you feel!
DarktimesSometimes
So, any of you guys heard of "My lovely Ghost Kana"? Because if you dig ghost romance comics(-ish), you should check it out. It's naughty.
happycanadiancamper
This is one of my all-time fave comics!! <3 Clifford forever!
BacktotheScience
I just read the whole thing, well what's available right now anyways, in one sitting. This is simply amazing!! Thanks OP!! +1
Scionic
Welcome to the fan base. :)
AstralKaT
This is my favorite web comic. Love the community as well.
Kargathia
This won me over when he found out the ghost girl loved to read - and got her some audiobooks.

...and there's goes my productivity for the afternoon
Ithoughtofacleverusernamenowitsgone
Admit it, you had no producitivty to begin with.
Missaliceadele
Haha, one can dream
sillyblackcat
This looks amazing but I worry it my be actually a bit depressing. I can't do depressing right now.
genuine55
It's not depressing yet.
Scionic
I can't say what she might have up her sleeve, but I think she's ultimately about happiness. But certainly use your own judgment. :)
pushyourluck
is the comic done, or still going?
Scionic
Still going. She's releasing volume 1 in print in the kickstarter, and it's definitely just getting going
AnvilHousing
I freaking love this comic.
imnotallowed2havefriends
Movie release date?
henrycamron
That was best hour or so ive spent in a long time, thank you!
Scionic
Glad you got something out of it! I'm sure the artist is as well!!
Vectorman2
So, do they bang?
henrycamron
No...not YET at least
Vectorman2
So it's like The Office if Pam died and Jim moved into her apartment?
scarabrae
Someone posted the 1st chapter last year, This could easily be a tv series in 5-7 years.
F1L0Y1
This is a really great comic!
TheDogEnd
I think Clifford needs to get smacked in the chops w/ a newspaper. For someone w/ boundary issues he sure breaks into people's houses a lot
JackoWacko96
Just backed the kickstarter a couple of days ago, feel like the author should work for image or vertigo, she is that good!
Scionic
We are SO close to getting that Sylvia one shot!! :)
Monkeybeesmonkeybees
Hah! She did the Zap! comic too!. http://www.zapcomic.com/
jyrque
sharpimpact
im hoooooked!
Frostgiant34
Also if you hold your mouse over the comic there's a secret note for every page. Some are really amazing
coldcoldcold3
definitely didnt just go read the entire thing... well maybe i did... but it was worth it
RandomImgurian
There's even a community with its own in-jokes in the comments! Oscar is never gonna get his hoodie back, is he.
Amythyst
It's Clifford's now!
RandomImgurian
But it's not like it's because they're friends, or anything. Because they're not. Obviously.
Amythyst
Of course not! He's just claimed it as his own in the name of his dark lord Sylvia.
Scionic
The puns are out of control :)
swedeonamoose
cubs fan, soo the girl is as dead as any chance the cubs would ever have winning the world series ?
henrycamron
Wow savage
swedeonamoose

swedeonamoose

henrycamron
Haha hey as a red sox fan i can say never give up hope
swedeonamoose

Check out Zap in Space. Took Chris and Lepas YEARS to complete, but it was worth it. Sometimes waiting for updates sucked...
CanadianMooseRider
man I remember reading so much of this comic and then having to stop. Guess I need to get back on it
WhyNotUncleIroh
YOU'RE ALIVE!!
TinyOctopus
Tiny Octopus wasn't aware that he was rumored to have been deceased. :D
InitHello
It's pretty great so far. I look forward to seeing where it goes.
TheGhostofLionelHutz
Can you please to explain the setup? "Sylvia is a computer girl from WWII." It made me think maybe I honestly don't know what a computer is
TinyOctopus
Before modern computers, a computer was an actual person who did computations. They did all the math that goes on in an ALU now.
viking15
@TinyOctopus is a smart octopus
TinyOctopus
It amuses Tiny Octopus that this comment has been downvoted by people not familiar with how Turing used human computers.
TinyOctopus
Tiny octopus points out that these women calculated artillery trajectories for batteries on the fly
HeadlessFancy
Thank you OP!! I just spent an hour and a half reading this! I'm completely enraptured!
Scionic
:D
finalsliver
Guy in red is called Clifford,.. turns into a big red dog. I'll leave it at that :)
FayS0ff
And the thing that makes that joke more fun is everyone he gets introduced do going "No way, really!? Like the dog? HAH!"
Scionic
It's too goofy not to work. XD
finalsliver
Thanks for posting it. just read the lot and added it to my RSS Feeds :)
Scionic
Welcome!! :)
BojanglesTheFlyingCar
Subtle baba yaga reference. Love it so far
BushiestCream
Almost read it as bubble yoga
genuine55
Or not so subtle. But still.
Pipetri
I was on strip 12 and came to comment exactly on this. X D
ArdentSlacker
Ahh, the moment I was half sold on the series. :D
kibateo
Can u explain?
ArdentSlacker
The landlord's name is Barbera Yaga.
kibateo
Wow how did I miss that
ArdentSlacker
IDK. My youth was spent reading everything in the library's mythology and faerie tale section.
owlman112
Is this the guy who drew the girl who kept asking for changes to be made, until she was a university graduate who said "Thanks Dad"?
Scionic
It's a woman, and I don't think that was her. The artist in that comic looks like Oscar though
owlman112
I'm just happy someone understood what I meant. It reads like I was stroking out.
Scionic
Lol
Phearo
You have any source, man? Sounds interesting.
