Yotsuba
Yotsuba! I've been enjoying this manga as much as Azumanga Daioh, for the same reasons--really nails slice of life childhood humor, almost Peanuts-like and elegant.

Himura Kenshin
This year's last minute half-assed one, done at the suggestion of a coworker. The 90's anime aesthetic, where characters have very angular features and chunky segmented hair, makes for easy pumpkin templates.

Shounen Bat
