3Hazy London (formerly known as Technicolor London)[[note]]The author, Scotty, has had to change the title of her comic for legal reasons. Apparently, the company Technicolor ([[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technicolor_SA yes, that one]]) contacted her with a Copyright Infringement claim, [[SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome as her comic was interfering with their London branch because it was the top search.]][[/note]] is a SliceOfLife webcomic about a group of people who are in a band called Checkerboard, and their day to day interactions with each other. The main focus is on the lead singer and drummer, Toby and Mark, forming a relationship at the beginning of the comic and their trials and tribulations as a couple. However, there is also plenty of light shown onto other characters, such as Sarah, Toby's best friend and the band's manager, and Kate, Toby's ex-girlfriend and bassist.
