Survey: Favourite Web comic?

robert@fm · 1 Jun 2002, 11:00 AM

I quite like:

Angst Technology — some great observations on computerdom, esp. the early strip when they're under siege, their attackers fire loads of CDs at them, and one character remarks "Oh no — AOL CDs, they'll never run out of ammo"...

Nekopan — Highly surreal one, this (the title character is a cat shaped like a loaf of bread — or is it vice-versa?

), a sort of Monty-Python-meets-anime situation.  Pity there isn't much of it yet...

Anyone else have a fave?

Mine used to be Netboy but I haven't read it in a long time and actually cannot get to the site now.

I think I liked it because it was the first comic strip I ever read on the net. It was funny too.

I'm going to be checking out the comics posted here because I'd love to read some new ones.

That was partly my idea in starting this thread.  I found AT purely by accident but am now hooked...

Here's a site I just ran across with Star Trek spoof comics - I got a chuckle out of some -Sev Trek

This one was extra funny: http://patriot.net/~lisa/s125.jpg

A couple I like are the weekly strip "The Adventures of Jeremiah," at www.gospelcom.net/cgi-cartoonworks/jeremiah.cgi and the more-or-less daily "The Church of the Covered Dish," at www.botcw.com/thom/. As you might guess, both are Christian strips, so don't say you weren't warned.

Best wishes,
David P.

Yeah....Missile Mouse Adventures by Jake Parker...not really a net comic, but sure love the art...

Just found another one, similar to Angst Tech:

Ubersoft

(edit: this site is painfully slow, even over a T1 connection: if you want to look at it, leave it to load in its own window while you look at something else...)

(edit 2, Nov 2008: the site is now as fast as any other)

A Mac web-comic — cool!

Liz, for one, will be quite pleased...

I've heard that some college students actually did this once, using Christmas fairy lights wired to controllers and strung in windows:

One of my favorites is a strange one with no art. In fact, they request readers to submit their own artwork for the strip.

It can be found at:
