Online Comix

Here is a collection of online comics that I enjoy. If you don't like them, it's not my fault. Get with the funny.

The misadventures of two roommates who are trying to balance work, women and playing games. A bit twisted and funny. Updated Mon/Wen/Fri.

There are two places I go online to read the few newspaper syndicated strips that I enjoy, as most are mush.

At Comics.com they have a good selection and have a thirty-day archive you can dig through to catch up on storylines. I follow Dilbert (DNRC member after all), For Better or for Worse (I know, I know. But I've been reading about this family since before I was in high school, and they're practically my family by now.), and Rose is Rose (A good successor to the "Imagination is King" mindset of Calvin and Hobbs, but not at cutting as they sometimes were.) 

Ucomics is a great place to read most newspaper strips online. It's here that I read Boondocks (good social commentary by an angry young man), Doonesbury, and Foxtrot (see below).  They keep a two week archive so you can see what you missed recently. If you subscribe to their My Comics Page program, you get access to the full archive which goes back years. It's also the only way to see the classic Bloom County strips online. 

Dork Tower started as a magazine strip in the deceased gaming mag Shadis. It is one of the best looks at the life of geeks and gamers ever. So many people I can identify with, and that Perky Goth Gilly is a cutie! As it says on the web site: 
DORK TOWER is for anybody who's ever played Dungeons and Dragons, who's ever gone to a Star Trek convention, anyone who suspects that Anime is more than just a passing fad, or anyone who KNOWS one of these people. But it's really for people who know what saving rolls you need to make against a level III Demon, which Classic Trek episodes involved the Prime Directive (and who were the directors), and the names of six minor characters and a dog in the Bubblegum Crisis. Updated Mon/Wen/Fri.

Down to Earth is a great strip that has a long-suffering Lucifer, aka "Lew", Death as a (bad) frustrated stand-up comic, a poor soul suffering through the worst TV in eternity, the bar where Satan and Death hang out with God, and many, many more. Irreverent? YOU BET! And I love it! And the occasional Death pun strips are a ball. Updated Daily.

One of the best strips in the papers today, Foxtrot is a wonderful, quirky strip with great characters. The fact that Jason is a fan of Comic books, Sci-fi and plays D&D is icing on the cake. Check out the strip at here. The artist, Bill Amend, has his own web page here where he has fun stuff and pushes the Mac presence. Fun and worth looking at. Updated Daily

Here is  the very-cool online gaming comic by (and starring) Graveyard Gregg. Watch him and his sidekicks EDG and Radical go forth and protect the gaming worlds from all sorts of threats. Go and prepare to laugh, tho the stories have gotten a bit serious lately. Updated Monday-Friday.

Liberty Meadows is a great strip about an animal habitat/shelter/hospital and the animals and people that work and live there. It went from being a syndicated daily (see past strips at Ucomics) and he quit and went to publishing as a comic from Image because he got tired of his editors wanting to dumb down his work so it wouldn't offend or confuse middle-America. You can see the "questionable" strips for yourself on the site and decide for yourself if they go to far.  The artist, Frank Cho, has stones, and draws incredibly sexy women. 

This is a fun comic. Done in an Anime style, it's the very funny adventures of Piro and Largo as they try to survive after becoming stranded in Tokyo. They are computer gamers extraordinaire and are using these skills to make a living in the city. It is funny, romantic and sweet in alternating turns. One of my favorites. Updated Mon/Wen/Fri.
The Misadventures of Hello Cthulhu. Need I say more? Look for Captain Dagon's House of Fish. Start from the beginning, it's for the best. 

Here lies one of the best, and most warped comix on the internet. Very funny, and challenges the way you look at the world. Sadly, the last strip has been run, but the archives are going to remain up indefinitely. Check it out, but be ready for something twisted and funny. "The Most Dangerous Comic On Earth."

Penny Arcade is one hell of a funny strip. Watch Gabe and Tycho, and all the strangeness that follows them around. They tend to focus on the Computer/Platform end of gaming. WARNING: Expect crudeness and a lack of dreaded continuity. Updated Mon/Wen/Fri.

One of the best online strips with great characters. There is also a published monthly comic now published by Image, well worth finding.  The strip focuses on the staff of a gaming magazine named PVP. I really love Skull, the big, blue troll intern. I want a Gaming Fez! Updated Daily.

You have to admire a strip by a gamer that bases the characters on his real life friends. And where he, as the artist, takes an active role in the strip from time to time. Zany antics ensue with time machines, parallel universes and the adventure of, well, real life. Updated Monday-Friday.

This is simply one of the funniest comics I've ever seen. I discovered it at Dragon*Con, and I love it. It stars Torg (Freelance Web designer), Riff (Inventor of robots and strange devices), Zoe (Long-suffering Co-Ed), Kiki (a hyper ferret), Aylee (Other-dimensional alien who shifts her form semi-regularly), and Bun-bun (the switch-blade using evil mini-lop). Is it Not Nifty? Worship the Comic! Updated Daily.
