The Halloween Fashion Show was a cool little community project where a lot of DD creators participated. They submitted their characters as models and then dressed them up to do a Halloween fashion show. I love looking at the creativity on show here and the enthusiasm of the creators to share and show off their designs to each other! I'm sorry that it's not a comic this week but community projects are just as worth celebrating as a feature. Please give some props and comments to the great work of the creators who participated in this.
I'm not sure if it's still ongoing but you can possibly join in on the forums here:

Jumbo-sized, chartreuse fingers mysteriously grow out of the ground—that is—until Farmer Mary and a team of Botanists sever the middle appendage from its freakish origin and send it down a metal, wired pipe to be tested on in a lab. Now that hand grew. It grew so enormous that a green giant made from the dirt of the earth and smelling of rainfall on dry soil now sits in its place without its severed middle finger.
The art uses a flexible palette of warm neutral earth tones, splashed with exciting neon green. Comic page layouts are innovative with rounded box edges.

This is a story about a lovely girl who works retail named “Friend” and a Giant Bee named “Humphrey”, and their daily conversations on worldly observations. It is not a love story (or at least, it was not initially), but anything goes in a world of bees and honey. This comic is chock-full of jokes—the puns and intellectual observations usually land; the dark humor can sting.
The comic layout is a traditional three-panel strip format. The colors are very happy and bright.

Fatman is a rather acerbic fellow but he has an interesting, if simplistically surreal take on the world. Naked in profile or portrait he blesses us with his pearls of precious wisdom. Truly he is a prophet for our age! The art is all simple line art with a lot of copy and pasted elements because that's part of the style of these surreal humour comics. This is a funny and intelligent comic strip. There is some nudity and adult themes but it's quite stylised and non-sexy.
