    Am I the only one who thinks they suck? The one linked in a thread floating around GD at the moment (reallifecomic or something, such an imaginative name there...) is utter crap IMO. Not even funny.

    Do I have some sort of web-comic-sense-of-humor-bypass?

    Calvin & Hobbes, Dilbert, JTHM - now they are comics...

    I just can't help but get images of the comic book store guy from the Simpsons each time i have the misfortune of stumbing over these wannabe web comics :blah:

    I have to agree about the RealLife comic, and not just because I am a Coca-Cola fanboy :hehe:

    But I find MegaTokyo pretty good, at least the first 400 or so that I have read.
    I have a lot of catching up to do!

    I have like 9 that I read regulary....

    Just got hooked on MegaTokyo and after a few days at it, finally caught up to the current, I really like the artwork and the story line is good too.

    Another one I just got hooked on is called 'Everything Jake' it's kinda gotten stale lately though :waah:

    Probably one of my favorites though is 'Get Fuzzy' which is syndication in the newspapers now... so it must be good right RTT... hehehe

    Agree. PA and Reallife ive been reading for years. PA us much better but RL does get a bit long in the tooth for a while then comes back with great strips like yesterdays and todays. Ive had dilbert in my mail for ages now, gotta love Dilbert :D Ive also started reading PvP and Foxtrot recently, but Foxtrot is harder to get a single clickable link to the newest comic.

    I could never get into Megatokyo, but he's gotta a absolutely MASSIVE fanbase.

    Come on! Have you read "I feel sick"? Its the Devi spinoff. Not too bad. I agree tho, web comics, on the whole, suck broken glass in poison jelly through a hosepipe.
    Maybe we could have a Vertigo / Marvel thread. Who published Transmetropolitan?

    the only reason I picked fantastic is for actual comics ported to the web.
    such as.
    steampower
    FMA
    alphashade
    and a new find
    pihakwa

    they are either origional, free, and made for the web, or not licenced in north america therefore not illigal to download for personal use (I'm sure they would still be pissed if you stared to mass produce and sell them)
    as for the web comic 'strip' I have yet to see one that is actually good and not have a base humour level of potty humour and slapstick.

    i concur, wholeheartedly. that somic might as well have been a little bit of text which says...

    "did you know you can fit a pc into almost anything, even a nintendo case!"

    and many could shorten it more than that no doubt! the only comic worth its salt is garfield :)

    Dilbert
    Real Life
    Control alt delete
    Penny Arcade
    Mega Tokyo
    Striptease

    Used to be a big fan of Megatokyo stopped reading a while ago, the story just stopped interesting me. Never really read any others apart from Dilbert.

    Never found any of them funny tbh, all I've seen are ones about "geeks" or gamers making some really unfunny 1337 jokes :duh:
