I'll Read Your Webcomic If You Read Mine

Webcomics.

They're all the rage these days. Even your grandmother has one. However, in my case, it's pretty difficult to find one that I really fall in love with and continue to visit every time they're updated. In fact, there are only four. And trust me, I've tried a lot. I've tried Little Gamers, Consoles, PvP (Congrats to Scott on his Eizner nod, though), 8-Bit Theater, and many others. However, none of them match the hilarity and charm of my "regulars." So, let's list them, eh?

• Penny Arcade: Of course you know Gabe and Tycho. They're possibly the most famous webcomic dudes around. They practically define the field and I'm pretty sure they were the first to make a career out of it. Besides the two main characters, I've always loved Div, Fruit Fucker, and Mr. Period. If you don't read them, you either don't like them (I know it sounds insane, but there are actually people who don't like PA) or you've been living under a rock. If it's the latter, start reading them, damnit!
• Ctrl+Alt+Del: This is probably my favorite webcomic. Dealing with the exploits of roommate gamers Ethan and Lucas, there are countless priceless moments, from the indtroduction of the X-Bot (Ethan's Xbox, which he constructs into a living being) to Scott's occasional line, "Who's Lilah?" For those unaware, Lilah (Ethan's girlfriend) has never had a scene around Scott, Ethan and Lucas's other roommate, who seldomly makes appearances these days. I really wish he was around more often, what with his hilarious quips about Windows and his cult-favorite pet, Ted the Penguin. I don't care if you don't like Tim Buckley's CAD. Read them anyway.
• VG Cats: Scott's a funny guy for two reasons besides his sense of humor. First off, he's Canadian, and I love Canadian folk, they're just quircky people. Secondly, he links to PGC, which puts him up another notch. Besides that, though, he's also an undeniably funny writer with probably the best art in all of webcomics. Give him a read.
• Niego: Now, most of you probably haven't heard about Niego yet. Written by two guys named Jason and Seth, this webcomic has little to do with games at all, and really centers around the daily life of John Niego and his devilishly hilarious school-teacher rommate, Leland. This one's still finding its niche' since it's relatively new (just came out last September), but it's getting a lot better, and because they haven't hit fame yet, Jason and Seth don't mind at all if you want to give them a buzz about something. They're pretty open people, in fact. Give them a read. You may just fall in love with Niego's charm.

And that concludes this entry. Meat is murder, but it's also delicious.
