1	''Monstar'' is a WebComic by Jacen Carpenter. Set in Longreach, Australia, it chronicles the adventures of Monstar, a large, grey, horned, green-eyed monster. (Although it rarely comes up, Monstar is in fact the personification of jealously, literally the "green-eyed monster".) With his rabbit pal Bunnee, Monstar spends most of his time dealing with mundane situations (like what to do while waiting for your video game to recharge), occasionally taking a break to save the world or some such.
