Six years ago I somehow stumbled into the Gamespy website while “working” at my first job. Can’t remember how, I just know that while browsing through it I found the webcomics section. They had an in house comic called The Daily Victim. It was basically an off the wall parody of stereotypical gamers. For instance, the Unix Administrator who played EverQuest. He of course was drawn like Merlin, and was condescending and sarcastic all at the same time. There were some real gems and towards the end of the year they would do a huge tie-in storyline that included the top rated comics for the year. Good humor and impressive drawing.
Now the artist for that comic at that time was Gabe from Penny Arcade. And following a link stating such, I began reading Penny Arcade. Long Story short, I was instantly hooked. And from the Penny Arcade site I was introduced to PvP Online, Angst Technology, CTRL-ALT-DEL, and many others.
Well it seems that once again, I have stumbled across some fresh comics from links that I discovered through my daily travels. You’ll notice them in the Webcomics section, but I will list them here as well. So here we go:
xkcd
This one I stumbled across while reading caoine.org. I read it and hilarity ensued. The style is similar to Toothpaste for Dinner, but the humor is more off the wall and straight forward than TFD. Also, the guy seems to have a deep seeded fear of velicoraptor attacks. All the other comics listed below I discovered from links off of this site.
Copper
The best way to describe this is a more grown up version of Calvin and Hobbes. Thinly veiled tidbits of living a good life and doing your best with what life deals to you day to day but given to you in the whimsical adventures of a boy and his dog. Good stuff.
dinosaur comics
There’s not a good way to describe this. It’s tongue in cheek humor using dinosaur cartoons that are ALWAYS in the same position.
The Perry Bible Fellowship
Now this one is in a class all it’s own. There are some strange ones, there are some fucking hysterical ones, and there are some that are completely fucked up and ignorant! You really do have to see for yourself. Be careful with this one as well because it is NSFW!
Enjoy folks!
