Comic Strips

Comic Strips I enjoy!


  • Dilbert - If you haven't heard, then you're missing out. (The same is true for Foxtrot) Dilbert is an engineer at an office and the comic does well to bring out the hidden hilarity of office life. I can relate, sometimes all too well.

  • Foxtrot - Foxtrot is harder to explain than most comics. I'll just say that if you read 10 of these and don't get it, stop reading. It's more nerdy humor most of the time, and sometimes you have to think about the joke they're making before you get it. At least I do...

  • The Noob - Those of us who are more computer savvy and born before...1984 I think is the cutoff point, know that the word is pronounced "newbie" but that is beyond the point. This is about a kid who starts playing an online role-playing game and is pretty good for the most part. Some of the jokes aren't that funny, assuming they're jokes to begin with, but some of them are funny because they are very true. This probably won't be interesting to anyone who isn't familiar with the online gaming world.

  • Ctrl-Alt-Delete - This is a comic strip for the video-game minded. I find it surprising how similar in taste one of the characters and I are. "If you cut me, I would bleed polygons," for example. Or the similar feelings about the Nintendo Gamecube. No kidding, right down to Windwaker. Anyway, it's pretty good too. It is updated irregularly, but it's worth checking out once if you're a video-game enthusiast.

  • Deviant Art - While it isn't exactly a comic, or the correct site for it, this seems to be the place where people can put up any pictures that they like, regardless of content. So if you'd just like to skip browsing through whatever, I've got a list of some of my favorite comics that I've found: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12

  • Video Game Cats - This cartoon is themed mostly about video games, the majority of which use a cat-like figure. I suppose the author likes cats, or can't draw people, but that doesn't stop him from making some VERY clever and funny cartoons. Some of them are just inappropriate and not very funny at all, but there are some that have made me laugh out loud.

  • Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal - Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal is a strange title that fits as well as titles like "Far Side," maybe that's how these things go. It's a single panel comic and sometimes there's a caption at the bottom to explain. Most of the time they're good, but not great. Some are very funny, and about a quarter are PG-13.

  • Looking for Group - As it may sound, it is an RPG-type game, but you don't have to be an MMORPG freak to get it. Most of the humor is fantasy related, dealing with elves and magic and whatnot. There's some morbid humor from the spellcaster as well, though it might be a bit dark for the average reader. His attitude toward the living (being dead, himself) is funny, but unfiltered. A few graphic images here and there, but it's all done like a cartoon and not very detailed, so you could do a lot worse.

  • XKCD - It doesn't stand for anything and it doesn't mean anything. This is a comic strip geared toward those who, like myself, have a passion for physics and computer science. Some of them are really wierd and off the wall, others are targetted at a VERY small number of people, so don't feel bad if you don't get it.

  • The Book of Biff - This one took me a long time to read entirely before I could post, though I don't really know why. Most of them are funny, giving a chuckle here and there, which is more than I can say about other single-panel comics I see these days. Ignore his wierd eyebrows, they don't seem to be anything more than a trademark characteristic.

  • Amazing Super Powers - This is a quirky little comic that comes up with twisted ideas and parodies of every-day situations. There is also a mouse-over text on every comic, and a hidden bonus comic in the top-right corner! It's work checking for!

  • Dueling Analogs - This comic is strongly geared toward the gaming community. It isn't always meant to be funny, though. Sometimes there is a heavy message for developers or the gaming community at large. Whatever the aim, though, the comic is enjoyable to all gamers.

  • Fanboys - This comic has been up and down in frequency of posts, rarey dependable, not always funny. But sometimes, SOMETIMES, they hit the nail right on the head and I can't help but continue to read in anticipation of their next success.

  • GG Guys - This one SOMETIMES has great ideas and updates rather infrquently, but it comments on the extreme facets of each major videogame console, and sometimes the jokes are so obscure I wonder why I even bother reading anymore. I hope that someday they'll get back to what they were good at.

  • Theater Hopper - This comic strip is a weekly one about current movies. I shudder to think how much money it costs to attend so many films at a time to be able to comment as extenisvely as this author does, and I'm glad his commentary and humor stay fresh.

  • Nerf Now - This comic is...wierd. It uses the same type of animation and characters for all different games, and the games referenced are rarely obvious unless you've played them. There is a strong favoring of Team Fortress 2, but other than that the games can be for any system, at any date.

  • Brawl in the Family - This cute comic started out as a Smash Brothers Brawl comic, but has since spread to other characters, mostly in the Nintendo realm. There is a strong preference for Kirby, and there are some delightful jokes about every character at one point or another.

  • Order of the Stick - It sounds like a lego thing, but it is (predictably) a stick-figure comic based in an RPG world. In fact, if you aren't familiar with saving throws, 1d5, action rounds, or other turn-based RPG terms, you won't get this comic at all. Otherwise, it is definately worth a look! I don't know why, but sometimes you have to refresh the page a few times to see the comic. Hang in there!

  • Darths and Droids - This follows in the foosteps of the wildly popular DM of the Rings series, and if you aren't familiar with Dungeons and Dragons, your love of the Star Wars mythos will probably not help you enough to make this enjoyable. The comic uses stills from the movies while incoroprating dialogue from characters roleplaying the movie. It isn't NEARLY as straightforward as you might think!

  • Virtual Shackles - This is a videogame / movie comic that tends to err on the side of modern video games. The references aren't obscure, so it is still quite enjoyable even if you're not playing recent releases.

  • Dark Legacy Comics - This is a comic for the World of Warcraft fan base. It comments on all different aspects of it, ranging from cooking to bugs, so those who only dabble in the game will miss a wide variety of references. Some of the jokes they make about quests are laugh-out-loud funny, and I'm sure the more cynical gamers will find they are not alone in their twisted thoughts.

  • Omake Theater - Friday for Koma - This is a simple little comic that uses Japenese-style animation. There are a few risque references, but nothing terribly ribald once revealed. More than anything, once you get past that, I would say it is quite cute.

  • Another Video Game Webcomic - Yes, that's actually what it is called. They don't update frequently, and they almost never repeat a game, but when you know the game it can be quite clever. I'm hoping they will keep up the quality work, or at least be more frequent.

  • Joe Loves Crappy Movies - This webcomic makes a lot of commentary and jokes about current movies, and only a handful of films make it by unnoticed. There are a lot of references I don't get, since I'm not terribly in to movies, but the ones I recognize are pretty good, so hopefully others will be able to enjoy it as well.
